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)

## Byte limits, per client
|
||||
|
||||
These count body bytes, never headers. What the visitor sent over a WebSocket
|
||||
counts as request bytes, and what the app sent as response bytes. The bytes
|
||||
counted for a request and its response are added to the client's total once the
|
||||
response has ended. The request that takes a client's total past a limit is not
|
||||
cut off; the client is banned.

|

- `SWW_BYTES_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE` (default `off`), `SWW_BYTES_LIMIT_PER_HOUR`
|
||||
(default `50G`) and `SWW_BYTES_LIMIT_PER_DAY` (default `100G`): the most bytes
|
||||
counted for a client in each window. A size or `off`.

- `SWW_BYTES_COUNT` (default `both`): which body bytes the byte limits count:
|

`response`, `request` or `both`.
|

counted for a client in each window, a size or `off`. `SWW_BYTES_COUNT` says
|

which bytes count: response bodies, request bodies or both. The request that
|
||||
passes the limit is not cut off, and the client is banned when its response

ends.
|
||||
- `SWW_BYTES_COUNT` (default `both`): what the byte limits and the byte anomaly
|
||||
thresholds count: `response`, the app's response bodies; `request`, the
|
||||
visitors' request bodies; or `both`. What the visitor sent over a WebSocket
|
||||
counts as request bytes, and what the app sent as response bytes.
