SWWAF_ADMIN_TOKEN, or its _FILE form, opens GET and POST
/_smallwebwaf/bans, DELETE /_smallwebwaf/bans/<client> and GET
/_smallwebwaf/clients/<ip>. Unset, they answer 404; a missing or wrong
token gets 401, in observe mode too. They go through every check, as
the metrics do. POST takes a netblock, not IPv4-mapped and without a
zone, or a client's address, a duration or permanent, and a reason, and
makes an admin ban even while another lasts. DELETE lifts every active
ban covering the address, kept and marked lifted. Bans come back as
bans.json entries; a client as clients.json holds it, with its bans.
Judgement call: answers leave out bans.json's version field.
Judgement call: DELETE takes an address, not a netblock.
Rule suppressed: gosec G304 on a test reading bans.json.
Model: opus-5-5
GET /_smallwebwaf/metrics answers in the Prometheus text format for a
request carrying SWWAF_METRICS_TOKEN, 401 without it and 404 while it is
unset. Every request under /_smallwebwaf/ but the health check now goes
through the checks and is answered where it would be forwarded, 404 for
any path but the metrics, so none reaches the app. In the client's
history a 401 counts as refused, the metrics and the 404s as neither.
SWWAF_METRICS_TOP_N bounds the series by country, the rest counted as
other.
Deviation: go.mod and go.sum written by hand, as go runs only through
make.
Deviation: no metrics yet for state files read again after an edit or
edits set aside; that work is not merged.
