Each app's fixes are one .conf file and one entry in apps. They apply
only while Inspect has set the app's transaction variable, such as
tx.app_gitea. SWW_APPS names each hostname's apps. A hostname gets only
its apps' fixes; while SWW_APPS is unset, every hostname gets every
app's fixes.
A hostname in SWW_APPS that is not a DNS name, such as *.example.com,
stops the start. Unset, SWW_APPS is logged at start as null; set
empty, as "".

Four tests closed a test server or stopped discriminator, and then
connected to its port. Another test process could take that port in
between and receive the connection.
- TestUnreachableRouteWatchLetsTheRequestThroughAndSaysWhy and
TestUnreachableRoutewatchFailsTheQueryAndTheLogOmitsTheClient, formerly
TestRefusedConnection..., point routewatch at 224.0.0.1, a multicast
address to which TCP cannot connect.
- TestStalledRemoteLogEndpointHoldsUpNoRequest keeps its endpoint open
and closes each connection it takes, instead of closing the endpoint.
- TestTheSiteAnswersWhileDiscriminatorIsStoppedAndStartedAgain gives
rproxy an address the test holds throughout. The test forwards each
connection there to the running discriminator, and closes it while
discriminator is stopped.
No change to non-test code.

The first half of the naming audit: names now say what they are. `internal/waf` is `internal/coreruleset`. Log fields, the action `blocked_by_core_rule_set`, the metric and the alert event say Core Rule Set. Timings end `_ms`. Percentages say of what, as `rate_limit_percent` and `bytes_limit_percent`. Setting names follow in #234.
Judgement call: `blocked_by_core_rule_set`, not the audit's `core_rule_set_blocked`, to match `blocked_by_block_rule`.
Trips a reader: an existing state file holding `waf_blocked` or the anomaly scope `watch` stops the start and must be removed. `SWW_ALERT_EVENTS` listing `waf_block` must list `core_rule_set_match`.
Model: opus-5-5
The request log's `action` values now say what they mean, as sneak named them: `request_header_too_large`, `client_is_rate_limited`, `blocked_by_block_rule` and `client_denied`, with no aliases. `banned` splits into `temporarily_banned` and `permanently_banned`, by whether the ban runs out. When a permanent ban also covers a client, that ban is the one reported.
Trips a reader: a request over a rate limit stays `client_is_rate_limited` even when the ban it makes is permanent.
Disclosure: the offence key `rule_blocked` is renamed in `clients.json` too, so an existing file holding it stops the start and must be removed. Its `version` stays 1.

With `SWW_ROUTEWATCH_URL` set, a new heuristic, `routewatch_tags`, adds `asn=<number>` and `prefix=<netblock>` to a request from what a routewatch instance answers about the client. New package `internal/routewatch` asks in the background, never on a request's path, and keeps answers 1 hour in memory. The request log gains `routewatch_tags_missing`, saying why a request has none. `prefix=` works in `SWW_TAG_DENY` and `SWW_TAG_LIMIT_PERCENT`.
Trips a reader: a client's first request has no routewatch tags, so `prefix=` refuses from its next request after the answer comes.
Judgement call: with `SWW_LOOKUP_SOURCE=off` and `SWW_ROUTEWATCH_URL` set, an `asn=` tag no longer stops the start.
Model: opus-5-5
Each request gets tags, logged as `tags`: `asn=`, `country=`, one per `SWW_TAG_LISTS` list holding the client, `crowdsec`, `dnsbl=<zone>`, `abuseipdb` and `exploitsignature`. `SWW_TAG_DENY` refuses by tag and `SWW_TAG_LIMIT_PERCENT` lowers limits by tag. They replace `SWW_ASN_LIMIT_PERCENT`, `SWW_COUNTRY_LIMIT_PERCENT` and `SWW_DENIED_COUNTRIES`, with no aliases. A tag in those settings that nothing configured can give stops the start.
Judgement call: `SWW_ASN_LIMIT_PERCENT_URL` stays, its entries counting like `asn=` tags.
Judgement call: `SWW_TAG_LIMIT_PERCENT` also lowers byte limits, as the settings it replaces did.
Trips a reader: `sww_country_list_refusals_total` now counts only `SWW_EXCLUSIVELY_ALLOWED_COUNTRIES` refusals.
Model: opus-5-5
Each discriminator check is now a type in its own file behind one small interface, listed in `heuristics.go`. Adding a heuristic is one file and one line. Behaviour does not change.
Refusal and ban log lines gain `heuristic` and `heuristic_figures`. A ban after the answer, by `refusal_limit` or `byte_limits`, logs `after_answer_heuristic` and its figures, so one line can name both.
Deviation: four lists, not the planned three, so `refusal_limit` still bans at the decision.
Rule suppressed: `//nolint:lll` on one struct tag.
