Pass-through proxy with timeouts, size limits and a request log (closes #13)
check / check (push) Successful in 2m9s

The repo's first code, with the layout the prompts policies ask for:
Makefile, script/ entrypoints, a Dockerfile whose lint and test phases
gate the build, the Gitea workflow, the canonical dotfiles and
REPO_POLICIES.md. smallwebwaf passes each request to the app through
httputil.ReverseProxy within the four timeouts and two size limits,
works out the client's address behind trusted proxies, and writes one
JSON line per request. The tests run against real local servers.
SPEC.md now says what Go's HTTP server does before smallwebwaf sees a
request; make fmt only rewraps EVALUATION.md.
