waf: the header limits are the first check (closes #311)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
check / check (push) Waiting to run
The header limits (more than 50 cookies or 100 header fields, answered `431`) move from just before the Core Rule Set to the first check after `SWW_ALLOW_NETS`. A request over them causes no lookup, no query to RouteWatch, a DNS blocklist or AbuseIPDB, no rule file match and no Core Rule Set. Requests within the limits go through the same checks in the same order. For a request over the limits: the rate limits no longer count it; a banned client or one in `SWW_DENY_NETS` gets `431` instead of its refusal; it makes no ban, makes no ban permanent and is not counted in a ban's notes; in `observe` mode it is answered `allow` with no lookup. `SPEC.md` and `README.md` say so. Model: opus-5-5

A refused visitor is answered with `SWW_BAN_RESPONSE`. A `block` rule or a Core
