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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
