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 f408f42b28 SPEC, README and docs rewritten from scratch (closes #154, closes #155, closes #156)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
SPEC.md is the only place that says how smallwebwaf behaves and why; docs/ holds lists linking to it; the README is short and links to both. Passed independent review in round 8.

Model: fable-5-1 (writing); opus-5-5 (review, merge)

clawbot a6634454cd Read SWWAF_IPV6_GROUP_PREFIX, SWWAF_MAX_TRACKED_CLIENTS and SWWAF_LOG_LEVEL (closes #112)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
The IPv6 group that is one client, the size of the table of clients and
the level of the process's own lines become settings. clientGroup reads
the group length from them, so limits, bans, history, lookups, AbuseIPDB
scores and per-client anomaly counters all follow it; ratelimit.New
takes the table size; the process logger takes the level once the
settings are read, and request lines, written apart from it, are never
held back.

Judgement call: SWWAF_IPV6_GROUP_PREFIX accepts 32 to 128, the issue's example range.

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.
