Bring TODO.md Status and Next Step to the run in progress (closes #251)
check / check (push) Failing after 14m43s

Status and Next Step described the 24-hour run of 9bd0e91, whose outcome
was posted on issue 226 on 3 November. They now describe the run of
e58c663 on issue 232 and what its outcome reports. Two Completed Steps
entries of 10 November are rewritten: the ProtonVPN entry ran past 30
words, and the busy-host test entry referred to waits it had not named.
An entry for this read is added.

A five-day run of `1c65656` on the live feed, from 2026-10-27 to 2026-11-01,
found three problems:
Since 2026-10-27, `next` has run on the live feed five times, from three hours
to five days. The runs found the handlers dropping updates for five causes, and
the WHOIS fetcher asking a registry that had refused it. Each is fixed on
`next`, and its Completed Steps entry below names its issue. A 21-hour run of
`742e759`, which has every fix but one, dropped no update except after the feed
stalled. That cause, https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/229, is fixed
on `next`.
- The prefix handler dropped updates while a peer's session went down
(https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/216).
- The AS handler dropped updates when the feed burst
(https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/217).
- The WHOIS fetcher kept asking a registry that had refused it
(https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/218).
All three are fixed on `next`. So is
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/222, which the third fix brought up.
A run of `26d939a` on the live feed showed the prefix handler still dropping
updates while the home page's cards were worked out.
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/226 fixed that on `next`.
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/225, also on `next`, takes the peers
whose sessions go down together out of the table in one walk. A 24-hour run of
`9bd0e91` on the live feed is checking whether any handler still drops updates.
A 24-hour run of `e58c663` on the live feed began at 09:19 UTC on 2026-11-10
(https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/232). It reads whether any handler
drops an update, the size of the `origin_changes` table on disk, and the
process's peak memory against 5 GiB. The seven IP lookup additions of
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/203 landed after it began, so it
does not exercise them.
The order of the project's remaining work is kept on
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/86.
# Next Step
Post the outcome of the 24-hour run of `9bd0e91` on
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/226: whether any handler still drops
updates, and the process's peak memory against 5 GiB. File an issue for each
problem the run finds.
Post the outcome of the 24-hour run of `e58c663` on
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/232. The run lasts 24 hours, or
until the feed has stalled or reconnected once, up to 72 hours. The outcome
says:
- whether any handler dropped an update, and the prefix queue's high-water mark
- the held-back count
- the size of the `origin_changes` table on disk
- the process's peak memory against 5 GiB
File an issue for each problem the run finds.
# Completed Steps
- 2026-11-10: `README.md` and this file are read whole against the rules of
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/157, and every statement is
checked against the code on `next`. Four README sentences, on origin changes,
PTR lookups and geolocation, are rewritten. Status and Next Step describe the
live-feed run in progress (closes
https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/routewatch/issues/251).
- 2026-11-10: each result of the IP lookup has `geo`, where the address is. It
comes from geojs, with DB-IP's City Lite database as the fallback. The geojs
answers stay in memory and in `cache.db` for 7 days (closes
