Every time the program stores, logs or compares is in UTC, whatever TZ says, and AbuseIPDB's day in `reputation.json` is a `YYYY-MM-DD` date. Times read from a state file are converted to UTC as they are read, so a file is written back with `Z` times only. A test runs `sww waf` with `TZ=Pacific/Kiritimati` and checks the process line, the request line and `clients.json`. `SPEC.md` states the rule and `AGENTS.md` makes it an iron rule.
- The rate limit's `day` and `day_bytes` buckets keep a start time: each is a 24-hour bucket begun at an instant, not a calendar day.
- New dependency `cloud.google.com/go`, of which only `civil` is built.
- No migration: a `reputation.json` holding the old day form fails to load, naming the file.
Model: opus-5-5
With SWWAF_ABUSEIPDB_KEY set, a client whose history counts an offence
(a broken limit, a ban rule's match or a block rule's refusal, counted
by kind) is checked in the background, at most
SWWAF_ABUSEIPDB_DAILY_BUDGET checks a day, the count kept in
reputation.json. A client, an IPv4 address or an IPv6 /64, is checked by
the address it sent from, and its score serves all its addresses. A
score at or over SWWAF_ABUSEIPDB_MIN_SCORE is a hit for
SWWAF_REPUTATION_ACTION, logged as abuseipdb and alerted with its score.
A failure or the used-up budget gives no score and raises
source_failure. The key goes only in the Key header.
Judgement call: the budget's day is UTC; AbuseIPDB documents no reset time.
Judgement call: each check sent spends budget; a minute's pause after a failure.
