Every setting of waf and rproxy is read through viper, in place of the
os.LookupEnv function Main passed down. NewViper turns AutomaticEnv and
AllowEmptyEnv on, so a setting that is set but empty reads as set. A
setting may also be given as a file, the _FILE form, which rproxy's
settings now have too; rproxy still writes nothing to disk.
The settings are renamed: waf's take the prefix SWW_WAF_, rproxy's take
SWW_RPROXY_, and the shared SWW_COMMAND keeps SWW_. The Core Rule Set's
settings take SWW_WAF_CORE_RULE_SET_ rather than SWW_WAF_WAF_.
Model: deepseek-v4-pro (first version); opus-5-5 (rework)
Tests only, in `internal/sww`. Every wait for the `starting` line now uses `output.lineBeforeExit`, which waits until the line is written or sww exits, so a slow Core Rule Set compile on a loaded host no longer fails these tests. `TestMainRunsWAF` and `startRProxyProcess` start sww through `startProcess`, whose cleanup kills sww as the test ends and waits for it to exit; `startRProxyProcess` returns a stop function that sends SIGTERM and fails the test unless sww exits with status 0 within `waitLimit`.
Model: opus-5-5
Every cache of answers from an outside service has its own file in `SWW_CACHE_DIR` (default `/var/cache/sww`): `lookups.json` (GeoJS), `lists.json` (lists fetched by URL, CrowdSec's decisions included), `dnsbl.json`, `abuseipdb-scores.json` and `routewatch.json` (at most 100,000 answers, each kept an hour). `reputation.json` is gone; the AbuseIPDB checks spent today stay in `SWW_STATE_DIR` as `abuseipdb-checks-spent.json`, since losing them would spend the daily budget twice.
A cache file never stops the start: one that does not parse is set aside as `<name>.bad` with a `file_error` alert. An unwritable `SWW_CACHE_DIR` stops the start. The `run` script creates the cache directory and gives it to `sww`. The cache directory needs no volume and can be left out of backups.
Model: opus-5-5
Tests only, in `internal/sww/sww_test.go`. A start compiles the Core Rule Set, so on a loaded host it can take longer than `waitLimit` (10 s) to write `starting`. The new `output.lineBeforeExit` waits until the line is written or sww exits, bounded only by the test binary's `-timeout`. It replaces the waits that span a start, in `runUntilStopped`, `TestServesUntilToldToStop` and `TestLogLevelHoldsBackTheLessSevereProcessLines`. The other waits on `waitLimit` in the file come after the start or after sww has exited.
Model: opus-5-5
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
The command is now `sww waf`, and the package is `internal/waf`. Types,
functions, files, tests, comments, docs, the Dockerfile, the runit
script, `script/`, compose examples, the log field `waf_line` and the
`X-From-Waf` test header follow. No behaviour changes, and no setting
changes name: rproxy already finds the waf through `SWRP_WAF_BACKEND`.
Done with one `sed -i` (Discriminator and DISCRIMINATOR to WAF,
discriminator to waf) over the files `git grep -i discriminator`
listed, as sneak allowed for this rename, then `git mv` for the
package and files. By hand afterwards: the header's spelling, which
the linter requires, and the padding after `waf` in `sww`'s usage
text.
Model: opus-5-5
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.
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.
