sneak ed6ba53747 servewaf answers rproxy's question about each request and takes its report (closes #170)
check / check (push) Successful in 4m27s
`smallwebwaf servewaf` runs today's checks on the visitor's request a
question carries and answers allow, deny or close, instead of passing it
to an app. rproxy's report then counts the bytes toward the byte limits
and adds the request to the client's history. SPEC.md gives the exact
question, answer and report, which rproxy follows. `smallwebwaf` with no
command is unchanged.

Judgement call: a third disposition, close, since closing the question's
connection would read as servewaf down and let the request through.
Judgement call: allow can answer a new request id, since a visitor behind
a trusted proxy can choose its own.

clawbot 82e20e0cb5 Anomaly thresholds: alerts for unusual traffic, nothing refused (closes #101)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
SWWAF_ANOMALY_CLIENT_*, _NET_*, _ASN_*, _TOTAL_* and SWWAF_WATCH_* with
SWWAF_WATCH_NETS: requests and bytes per minute and per hour, each off by
default; with all off, nothing is counted. Otherwise every request but the
health check is counted, allow-listed and exempt ones included; a count
over its threshold raises an anomaly alert, with a cooldown per scope. At
most 20,000 counters, kept in alerts.json. A per-AS-number threshold with
lookups off, or a malformed SWWAF_WATCH_NETS, stops the start. A cooldown
that has run out is dropped as the hour ends, whatever it held back; the
hour's summary gives its repeats.

Judgement call: refused requests are counted too.
Judgement call: per-client counters are kept in alerts.json, which SPEC.md does not list.
Judgement call: a request counts for an AS number only if the lookup answered before it ended.

clawbot 70a8ea1b92 Alerts to Slack and ntfy, each destination with its own queue (closes #90)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
Each alert is posted as a message to the Slack incoming webhook
SWWAF_ALERT_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL names, and published to the ntfy topic
SWWAF_ALERT_NTFY_URL names, with SWWAF_ALERT_NTFY_TOKEN as a bearer
token and a priority and tag by event. The cooldown and the hourly
limit stay shared; past them, each destination has its own bounded
queue and backoff, and its own sent, failed and dropped counts.
alerts.json keeps the alerts waiting by destination; one whose waiting
is still a list stops the start, saying what to change. A control
character in the ntfy token, or in the instance name ntfy is sent,
stops the start.

Judgement call: messages also give the detail's file, source, error and mode.
Judgement call: alerts_suppressed_total is the same for every destination.

clawbot 432097ee3f Alerts to a JSON webhook, with a cooldown and an hourly summary (closes #26)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
SWWAF_ALERT_WEBHOOK_URL gets one JSON POST per alert, in SPEC.md's
schema, with SWWAF_ALERT_WEBHOOK_HEADERS: ban and permanent_ban, with
the ban's notes, in observe mode too, marked mode observe and worked
out only when the alert would be sent; source_failure for GeoJS;
file_error for a rule or state file with an error. SWWAF_ALERT_EVENTS
chooses; SWWAF_ALERT_COOLDOWN holds back repeats by netblock, file or
source; past SWWAF_ALERT_MAX_PER_HOUR the hour ends in one summary. A
bounded queue, retried with backoff, holds up no request; a 4xx other
than 408 and 429 gives the alert up. alerts.json keeps the queue, the
cooldowns and the hour. Nothing shows the URL's path or query.

Judgement call: the summary's event is summary, which SPEC.md omits.
Judgement call: an admin's ban raises no alert.
