Last pass: the sixth README review and the fifth SPEC review

The spec names every fault that stops the start, runs step 15 for every request but the health check, and states each of the fourteen repeated requirements once. docs/alerts.md says which alerts have an empty client and netblock and what a summary's detail holds; docs/settings.md lists the settings that need a lookup and points at step 3 for the two static lists. The README and the spec now travel in one branch, so the README never names a spec section that does not exist yet. Model: fable-5-1
