Say which bytes the byte limits count, and what passing one does (closes #203)
check / check (push) Failing after 3m48s

sneak asked for every document to be audited for sentences that do not say what they mean. The byte limits now say which bytes count (response bodies, request bodies or both, as `SWW_BYTES_COUNT` says, WebSocket traffic included) and what passing one does. Other unclear or false sentences in `README.md`, `SPEC.md`, `EVALUATION.md` and `docs/` are rewritten.

Documents only. `REPO_POLICIES.md` is shared policy text and stayed out.

Model: fable-5-1 (first audit); opus-5-5 (rework)

A request whose bytes broke a limit was passed on whole, so its `action`

When the bytes counted for a request and its response break a limit, the
