Every route was registered for GET only, so HEAD answered 405, and on
the JSON routes that 405 said "Internal server error". chi's GetHead
now serves HEAD with the GET handler. The /api/v1 and /ip route groups
answer a path they lack with a JSON 404 "Not found", and another method
with a JSON 405 "Method not allowed" whose Allow header names GET and
HEAD. JSONValidationMiddleware gives a 4xx sent without a JSON body the
status's standard text instead of "Internal server error".

An IP lookup took any number of addresses and host names, gave each PTR
lookup until the request's 30-second limit, and looked up and named
every address a host name resolved to. It now answers 400 for more than
10 entries, or more than 10 addresses once the names are resolved,
before reading the database. Each PTR lookup gets 2 seconds; one that
runs out leaves the address's result without PTR names. Of a host
name's addresses only public ones are kept: global unicast and not
private. A name with none is reported as having no public address. The
tests give the server a fake resolver.

Shutdown passes its context to every stage: the streamer, the four
handlers, the WHOIS fetcher, the database maintainer and the HTTP server
each stop waiting when it ends. A handler then skips its last write and
logs how many updates it did not write, and the HTTP server closes the
connections still open. The database is checkpointed and closed last,
and left open once the deadline has passed, since a write may still
hold it. The stop hook gives Shutdown 8 seconds and fx 9, inside the 10
seconds upaas and docker stop allow, so a stop signal exits 0.

Every answer carries the six security headers REPO_POLICIES.md lists.
The Content-Security-Policy allows inline content only with a nonce made
for that answer; the pages put it on their style and script blocks and
drop their four style attributes.
The request log and /ip/ take a forwarded address only from a proxy
listed in TRUSTED_PROXIES, which stops the start when set but invalid:
the last X-Forwarded-For entry that is not a trusted proxy. X-Real-IP
and True-Client-IP are no longer read.
The JSON routes and the health check send fixed messages in place of
database, parser and resolver errors, and log the detail.
Model: opus-5-5
When the delete of a peer's live routes after its session went down
failed, the down was dropped and the routes stayed. The prefix handler
now keeps such a peer, once, with the updates it sent after the down,
for the next flush, which retries the delete before it writes them; each
failure is logged. At most the last 25,000 of those updates are kept,
outside the batch, so they do not start a flush. The delete runs in
chunks of at most 10,000 routes per table, taken in prefix order
through the peer's key, each chunk in its own transaction, so the
database lock is released between chunks and a failure undoes at most
one chunk.
Model: opus-5-5
README "HTTP Endpoints" now lists every route the server registers with
what it answers, errors included: / is a home page and /ip/{addr} answers
JSON, neither redirects; /ip/ looks up the caller; the IP endpoints take
host names and comma-separated lists; 400, 404 and 504 are described, and
the health check's envelope. "Database Schema" matches schema.sql, and
other sentences the code contradicted are corrected. TODO.md gets a dated
line for each issue landed since 2026-10-03, with Status and Next Step
current.

The live route tables lose their random UUID key; the row id the
prefix-length sample draws is declared as the integer key. The prefix
tables are keyed by prefix and keep only first_seen; a batch inserts only
prefixes not stored yet. A route update sets only the columns that
change. Each kept index names the queries using it. Every write goes
through one connection kept for writing, with a 1 GiB page cache; reading
connections get 16 MiB, heap limits rise to 1.5 and 2 GiB (README
"Memory"). Batch writes go in key order. A benchmark run by hand writes
250,000 updates on 5 million routes faster than the feed's 10,000 a
second; a live run follows.
Model: opus-5-5
A path ending in an AS set, such as [64496, 64497, [64498, 64499]], was
flattened into the sequence, so the route was stored as originated by the
last set member and the peering handler recorded peerings the path does not
show. ASPath now keeps the sequence and a trailing set of several members
apart; Origin() gives the last AS of the sequence, or 0 (no known origin)
for such a set. The handlers use it; peerings come from the sequence only.
The pages show origin 0 as no known origin, and the IP lookup asks no WHOIS
lookup for it. Empty paths are unchanged.

Takes .golangci.yml, .dockerignore, .gitignore, .editorconfig, the
workflow and REPO_POLICIES.md from sneak/prompts 0653579, with this
repository's own entries after the shared content. Lint (golangci-lint
v2.14.0) and test are Dockerfile phases that script/lint and script/test
build alone with a new CACHEBUST value, keeping Go's and golangci-lint's
caches; the image build depends on both. make fmt and make fmt-check also
format the markdown with prettier, pinned in yarn.lock. The agent
guidance moves to AGENTS.md. The Go code is fixed for what the new
configuration finds, and the AS and prefix detail reads now return the
rows' error after their loops.
Model: opus-5-5
RIS sends no withdrawals for the routes of a peer whose BGP session goes
down, so routewatch kept them.
The streamer now hands STATE messages to the prefix handler. They are never
dropped for backpressure: one that finds the queue full is held and queued
first once there is room, and the handler's other messages are dropped
meanwhile, so none overtakes it. Nothing waits. On a down, the prefix
handler drops the peer's pending updates and its next flush deletes all the
peer's live routes before the batch's other writes, keeping the in-memory
counts exact. The live route tables are unique on peer and prefix, which
also finds a peer's routes.
Model: opus-5-5
The AS, peer and prefix handlers wrote their batch to the database while
holding the mutex HandleMessage needs, so while a write ran nothing was
taken off their queues and the streamer dropped updates.
Each handler now writes only from its flush goroutine: it takes the batch
under the mutex, leaves an empty one in its place, and writes after
releasing it. A full batch wakes the flush goroutine. While a write runs the
next batch may grow to ten batch sizes; at that size HandleMessage waits, so
the queue fills and the streamer drops as before. README "Memory" gives the
numbers and their cost.
Model: opus-5-5
When RIS Live ended the response normally, the reconnect loop stopped for good and the health check kept reporting the feed connected; a connection that stayed open but sent nothing blocked forever. Now only `Stop` ends the loop: any other end clears the connected flag and reconnects with the existing backoff. If no line arrives for 60 seconds, including while waiting for RIS Live to answer the request, the streamer drops the connection and reconnects. Tests use a local fake server. README "Reconnection" describes both.
Model: opus-5-5
The IP lookup tried every mask length down to /0, so a default route or a very short route such as `2000::/3` was reported as the owner of any address it covered until a more specific route had been seen. The lookup now stops at /8 for IPv4 and /16 for IPv6 (named constants); an address covered only by shorter routes gets "no route found". The tables still store short routes. The test checks each limit and the length one bit shorter.
Model: opus-5-5
Looking up an address on /ip/ and /api/v1/ip/ read every IPv6 live route and about half of the IPv4 range index, so on a day-sized database it passed the 30-second request timeout. The lookup is now one function for both families: from the longest mask length down, it looks up the address's network prefix on the existing prefix index, and the first live route wins.
The feed sends IPv6 withdrawals uncompressed, so they never matched the stored compressed prefix and never removed a route. Prefixes are now stored in the text form net/netip prints, so IPv6 withdrawals take effect.
ip_start, ip_end and GetASInfoForIP are removed; nothing read them. A database from before this change must be deleted.
Model: opus-5-5
sneak's standing rule: the container makes its data directory usable itself, with no step on the host. entrypoint.sh now creates /var/lib/berlin.sneak.app.routewatch if it is missing and stops the start when any step fails (set -euo pipefail); before, a failed cd went on to change the ownership of whatever directory the script was in, and a failed chown still started the daemon. Taking ownership of the directory and switching to the routewatch user through setpriv are unchanged. The README's upaas volume line now says only which path to mount.
The empty-directory and other-uid cases were run by hand on the built image with upaas-style bind mounts, not added as an automated test.
Model: opus-5-5
Brings README.md and TODO.md in line with REPO_POLICIES.md and with what is on next. The README's first line now names routewatch, what it is, its MIT licence and its author, @sneak; the License section says MIT and links LICENSE; a new Author section names @sneak.
TODO.md's Status, Next Step and Future Steps now describe next as it is: it waits for sneak to merge the milestone PR, after which the upaas deploy and the run under a real 5 GiB limit are his. Completed Steps gains a line for each issue that landed without one.
Docs only. make fmt formats only Go here, so the markdown was wrapped by hand.
Model: opus-5-5
A set but invalid PORT (anything but plain digits from 1 to 65535) or a relative XDG_DATA_HOME now stops the start before the database opens; before, a bad PORT left the daemon running without HTTP. entrypoint.sh refuses a MALLOC_ARENA_MAX that is not a positive whole number, since glibc ignores a bad one silently. The HEALTHCHECK probes the port PORT names, 8080 when unset. PORT is now read in internal/config, so server.New takes the config.
The README gives the real Linux state directory, lists XDG_DATA_HOME, and adds "Running under upaas": port, volume, environment, the 5g memory limit and the health check.
Unverified: the 5g memory limit could not be exercised on the build host.
Model: opus-5-5
After the earlier memory work, SQLite's live heap is bounded but process
RSS still climbed about 70 MiB/min, nearly all anonymous and outside the
Go runtime and outside SQLite's own accounting, without any SQLITE_NOMEM.
The cause is glibc: the SQLite C library allocates and frees millions of
small page-cache chunks from many threads, and glibc keeps each arena's
freed chunks resident. With arenas uncapped it creates up to eight per
core, so on a large host RSS grows with the core count.
Set MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=2 in the image to bound the retained memory. Writes
are already serialized, so the two-arena cap costs no throughput. Update
the README Memory section.
Model: opus-4-8
Add ENV GOMEMLIMIT=1536MiB to the runtime stage so the Go runtime keeps a
1.5 GiB soft heap limit. runuser preserves it the way it already does
XDG_DATA_HOME, so the routewatch process inherits it.
Add a Memory section to the README describing the budget (Go 1.5 GiB soft,
SQLite 640 MiB pool cache and 1.5 GiB hard heap, ~0.2 GiB other), the
required 5 GiB container limit, how to override GOMEMLIMIT, what happens at
each limit, and the DEBUG=routewatch System stats line. Every sentence
matches the behaviour already merged to next.
Model: opus-4-8
TestRouteWatchLiveFeed streams the live RIPE RIS feed for a few seconds, so
the default test run depended on the network and tripped the race detector.
It now skips under testing.Short(), and script/test passes -short in both
go test lines, so make check runs offline and gives the same result every
time. The README says how to run the live test on demand. No non-test code
changed.
The race itself is not fixed: the test reads the peeringHandler field of
RouteWatch while Run is still setting it. Nothing outside the test reads
that field concurrently.
Model: opus-4-8 (implementation, review); fable-5-1 (summary)
Add comprehensive godoc comments to all exported types, functions,
and constants throughout the codebase. Create README.md documenting
the project architecture, execution flow, database schema, and
component relationships.
