smallwebwaf starts each timeout as the request arrives, before the step
a test needs first: the upgrade answered, the app's buffers full, the
first part of an answer passed on. A hold-up of the test process longer
than the 300 ms timeout ran it out before that step. No test can make
that step come first, and in the "waiting on the app" cases it cannot
see which side smallwebwaf was waiting on, so the timeout is now 5 s,
the hold-up wantTimedOut already allows. The timeout tests set when it
must not run out goes from 10 s to 1 m to stay clear of it. The upgrade
test waits 7.5 s past the upgrade.
Judgement call: one shared value; the proxy tests take about 8 s, not 2 s.

TestAnswers502WhenTheAppCannotBeReached closed a listener and pointed
smallwebwaf at its port, which another test running in parallel could
open in between, so the test sometimes got that server's answer instead
of a 502. It now uses 127.0.0.1:1: nothing listens there, and a test
listening on port 0 is always given a port from 32768 up, so no test
can take it. No other test reuses a closed listener's port.

In the cases where the app reads and the client stops sending halfway,
smallwebwaf waits on the client only once it has passed the first bytes
of the body to the app. A test process held up for the whole 300 ms
timeout before then rightly gets 504, as SPEC.md asks, so the test was
wrong to expect 408 every time.
The app in those cases now records whether it received any of the body.
Once the app has finished with the request, the case expects 408 and its
log line if it did, and 504 and its log line if not.

Each client, one IPv4 address or one IPv6 /64, is counted in two buckets
per window, the earlier weighted by how much of it the window covers; at
most 20,000 clients are kept, least recently seen dropped first. A
request over SWWAF_RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE, _HOUR or _DAY (1000, 10000,
50000, or off) gets 429 before reaching the app. Refused requests count,
413s included. A clock set back over a second behind a bucket's start
restarts that window. The log line gains limit_hit and the action
rate_limited.
Deviation from SPEC.md, per the issue: the 20,000 bound and /64 are fixed.
Judgement call: golang-lru/v2 holds the table; httprate does not count refused requests.
Deviation: go.mod and go.sum hand-written; no make target tidies them.

Milestone 1, the repo's first code. smallwebwaf passes each request to the app and the answer back unchanged, streaming bodies and WebSocket upgrades, within four timeouts (client and app, request and response) and two size limits, and writes one JSON line per request to stdout. Every setting has an SWWAF_ name and a default, and an invalid value stops the start. The repo gets the standard layout: script/ entrypoints, make targets that call them, a Dockerfile that runs the checks, and the Gitea workflow.
Disclosure: SPEC.md changed. Go's server reads the request line and headers before smallwebwaf sees the request, so slow headers are closed without an answer, and neither slow nor oversized headers get a log line.
Disclosure: standard library only.
