Rewrites TODO.md from scratch, sentence by sentence, against the rules of #157, as decided in #157 (comment). Reworked after #224 (comment) and #224 (comment).

  • Status and Next Step describe the repo as the tracker shows it today, down to the 24-hour run of 9bd0e91 and the questions waiting for sneak.
  • Every Completed Steps entry keeps its date, its facts and its (closes #N) or (part of #N) reference. Each fact was checked against the commit it names and the code on next.
  • The Workflow section keeps its meaning.

Disclosures:

  • The title says part of, not closes: #210 merges after this PR and closes the issue.
  • The old Status's run figures for a9b6860 and 825afa2 are dropped; the five-day run supersedes them and they stay on their issues.
  • Future Steps gains one item, #210; the old file had none.
  • Three entries keep a date one day before their commit's, as the workers recorded them: #213, #162, #160.
  • The 2026-02-22 entry names no commit and its branch is not on the remote; kept as recorded.
  • The log has no entries for the fixes that reached main through #87 (#100 to #121, #131 and #141); this PR adds none.
  • Lists of up to five short names stay in one sentence; longer lists became separate sentences.
  • #210 adds its own TODO.md entry and will need a rebase onto this.
  • make fmt needed make bootstrap first in the fresh clone.

FAIL: needs-rework. Line numbers refer to the PR's TODO.md.

  1. L15-16, "carries the twelve commits since then into main": the count is wrong the moment this PR lands on next, because #202 then carries thirteen, and every later merge to next adds another. Acceptable: no count, such as "carries the commits since then into main".
  2. L64-69 and L84-85: the rewrite turns "RIR" into "registry", and L81-82 says the registries are the five RIRs and NIC.br. Only an RIR's pause skips a lookup and leaves the AS for after the pause. While NIC.br is paused, a Brazilian AS is stored at once with LACNIC's details (askNICbr in internal/whois/whois.go). So these sentences are false for NIC.br: "A lookup is skipped when its registry is paused", "before it finds its registry paused", "belonged to a paused registry" and "An AS whose registry is paused is looked up after the pause". Acceptable: "RIR" in these sentences, as commits d66c59e and df15e2b say, with "RIR" defined where it is first used.
  3. L384-386, "script/ holds the entrypoints, and the Makefile targets call them": in commit 583c16a, make build, make clean, make run and make asupdate call no script. Acceptable: a sentence that names only the targets that call a script, such as "the standard targets of the Makefile call them".
  4. L407-409, "Merge #210 once sneak has reviewed it": that PR is labelled needs-rework after three failed reviews. Once sneak has reviewed it, its work follows his review (sneak/project-management#43), and it merges only after a review passes. Acceptable: a step that does not skip the rework, such as "Finish #210 as sneak's review directs".

Reworked after #224 (comment): all four findings are addressed. next has not moved since the review.

Beyond the findings, the sweep of every sentence against the rules, the commits and the code on next changed this:

  • Status: script/cibuild runs the test and lint phases before the format check; the old sentence left that out. #210 is said to have failed three reviews, the reason it is paused. The pointer to #86 says what is kept there.
  • #213: "runs well inside its 90-second limit" overstated the fix; now "no longer runs past".
  • #204: "It answers" could read as the README; now "RouteWatch answers".
  • #153: the old order was address first, then mask length, not address alone.
  • #152: on / the spinner sits under the status, so the entry no longer says "beside".
  • #158: Spamhaus DROP is two lists, IPv4 and IPv6, as the code has them.
  • #163: an age under a minute reads "now" or in seconds, as the commit says.
  • #218: says that a Brazilian AS keeps LACNIC's details while NIC.br is paused, the difference finding 2 turned on.

Disclosures:

  • Finding 3: the nine targets are named in two sentences of five and four, rather than "the standard targets", so the sentence can be checked against the Makefile.
  • Three entries keep a date one day before their commit's (#213, #162, #160); the PR body disclosed only the first before. Kept as the workers recorded them.
  • make fmt needed make bootstrap first in the fresh clone.

Reworked after #224 (comment): the sixth disclosure now says the fixes reached main through #87. Its parenthetical names the issues that PR's commits closed, #100 to #121, #131 and #141, instead of a span that took in #122, which has entries. The body's first paragraph now names both reviews.

Every other sentence of the PR body and of the commit message was checked against the history and the tracker; none was false. TODO.md and the commit are unchanged, so nothing was pushed.

Taking this PR back from sneak: under the new rule (sneak/project-management#43 (comment)) the manager ends the review loop. The third review (#224 (comment)) found only one date. Since then the Status, Next Step and Future Steps text has gone stale, so this rework sets it to the text below. It starts once #228 has merged into next.

The rework changes exactly this in TODO.md:

  1. Status, the five-day run: "from 27 October to 1 November" becomes "from 2026-10-27 to 2026-11-01".
  2. Status, the paragraph that starts "All three are fixed on next." becomes: "All three are fixed on next. So is #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. #226 fixed that on next. #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."
  3. Status, the paragraph on the README rewrite becomes: "The README rewrite, #210, is being reworked. It is part of #157."
  4. Next Step becomes: "Post the outcome of the 24-hour run of 9bd0e91 on #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."
  5. Future Steps, its one item becomes: "Merge #210 once a review passes. As the last of the two PRs for #157 to merge, it closes the issue."
  6. Completed Steps: right below this PR's own entry, the entries next gained since this branch was cut (those closing #225 and #226), word for word as on next, in next's order.

In the PR body: "down to the 24-hour run of 26d939a" becomes "down to the 24-hour run of 9bd0e91"; "#210 is paused, so the last PR to merge closes the issue." becomes "#210 merges after this PR and closes the issue."

It leaves everything else alone: every other sentence of TODO.md, the commit message and the rest of the PR body. make fmt may rewrap the changed paragraphs. One commit, amended, rebased onto next, gate run, force-pushed.

The next review checks only: that the diff between 9e7e87b and the new head is these six changes, the two entries from next and make fmt's rewrapping; that the PR body has the two changes; and that script/cibuild passes on the rebased branch. It passes if so.

Every sentence of TODO.md is rewritten from scratch against the rules
of #157: about 30 words at
most, one idea each, subject and verb early, identifiers in backticks.
Status and Next Step describe the repo as the tracker shows it now.
Every Completed Steps entry keeps its date, its facts and its issue

keeps its meaning. The entry for this rewrite is added.
