Renames every setting the naming audit failed (#192 (comment)), under the SWW_WAF_ and SWW_RPROXY_ prefixes, with sneak's overrides from #202 (comment). Closes #234.
REPUTATION_TIMEOUT → DNSBL_ABUSEIPDB_TIMEOUT_MS (default 2000); LOOKUP_TIMEOUT → ASN_AND_COUNTRY_LOOKUP_TIMEOUT_MS (default 800). Both now take whole milliseconds, not durations.
config.Config and config.FromEnvironment are config.WAF and config.WAFFromEnvironment. Go fields and test constants follow their settings.
Not obvious from the diff:
An operator's old variables are ignored silently: no aliases, nothing added to "Where earlier settings went". State files are untouched.
Judgement call: the lookup wait says "AS number and country", the documents' name for what is looked up, not "location", which they do not define.
Defaults are unchanged; sneak's 6-hour cache time and 100 busiest are on #202.

Test names and prose still use the old setting words. The naming audit (#192 (comment)) says each rename carries test names and prose. The PR body also says "error burst" became "refusal limit" in prose. Rename each item below to its setting's new word, so that searching for the old words finds nothing, across line breaks too:

docs/settings.md lines 307–308 and the LimitBanPermanentAbove comment in internal/bans/bans.go line 52 still say "the longest ban for a broken limit; one that would be longer is permanent". A permanent ban is longer, so the sentence contradicts itself. The rename was made to remove that reading. Use the README row's wording instead: a ban for a broken limit that would be longer than this is permanent instead.
The BytesCounted field comment (internal/config/waf.go lines 73–74) and the bytesCounted comment (line 848) say the setting picks the bytes for the byte limits only. It also picks them for the byte anomaly thresholds (countedBytes in internal/waf/request.go), as the README row says. Each comment should name both.

The bar is the first review's item 1: each rename carries every name built from the old word, so a search for it finds nothing. The PR body says Go fields and test constants follow their settings; these do not.
Go names that keep an old setting word. Rename each, with its uses and comments:
bodyLimit, the CoreRuleSet field in internal/coreruleset/coreruleset.go (lines 341, 401, 487, 497, 514, 516), and the test constant bodyLimit (internal/coreruleset/coreruleset_test.go:2315), whose comment calls it SWW_WAF_CORE_RULE_SET_BODY_INSPECTION_SIZE, with its uses in coreruleset_test.go, mediawiki_test.go, nextcloud_test.go, vaultwarden_test.go and recorded_test.go: bodyInspectionSize.
topN, the parameter of metrics.New (internal/metrics/metrics.go lines 64, 69, 117, 118), and the field, parameters and comments in internal/metrics/busiest.go: a name from SWW_WAF_METRICS_BUSIEST_COUNTRIES_AND_ASNS, such as busiestCount.
remotelog.Params.Buffer (internal/remotelog/remotelog.go:67, used at line 109), set from LogRemoteBufferLines: BufferLines, the unit the rename added.
The test constants rproxyTimeout (internal/config/rproxy_test.go:19, internal/sww/rproxy_test.go:35) and timeoutSetting (internal/rproxy/rproxy_test.go:47), which hold SWW_RPROXY_WAF_BACKEND_TIMEOUT_MS: wafBackendTimeout. "rproxy timeout" is the name sneak called ambiguous.
Test names that keep an old setting's name or reading:
TestRequestWaitsAsLongAsTheLookupTimeoutSays (internal/waf/lookup_test.go:441) names SWW_WAF_LOOKUP_TIMEOUT: use the new setting's words.
TestFirstBanLongerThanTheMaximumIsPermanent and TestLongestBanSetFarOffDoesNotOverflow (internal/bans/bans_test.go:100, :117), and "is within the maximum" at line 121, keep the "longest ban" reading that the SWW_WAF_LIMIT_BAN_PERMANENT_ABOVE rename removed. Name them from LimitBanPermanentAbove.
The refusal limit's number is still "threshold", from SWW_WAF_ERROR_BURST_THRESHOLD. The setting now calls it a limit, and the documents keep "threshold" for the anomaly thresholds and the Core Rule Set score. Use "limit" in:
CountRefusal's threshold parameter and comment (internal/ratelimit/ratelimit.go lines 266–282);

docs/settings.md line 457, "A time here is a whole number of milliseconds above zero, such as 2000.", now repeats the "Forms of values" item this PR added. Its "here" says a time means something else elsewhere, which is no longer true. Delete it. In the rproxy items, write "A time in milliseconds" as the waf items do.

Change
Rename these three names, which still use "reputation" for the DNS blocklist and AbuseIPDB settings. Change their uses and comments too:
Rename the test helper fromEnvironment → wafFromEnvironment in internal/config/waf_test.go (line 252 and every use in that file). Its comment should say it reads waf's settings. It wraps config.WAFFromEnvironment but still has the old function's name.
In SPEC.md lines 217–219, replace "It counts the refusals the refusal limit counts at the decision too (refusal_limit; see "Attack detection")." with "A refusal for a rule file match, a trap path or a Core Rule Set match also counts toward the refusal limit at the decision (refusal_limit; see "Attack detection")."

Leave alone
What the first two reviews asked for, which is done, and the judgement calls already on this PR:
the Timeout and CacheTTL fields of lookup.Params, reputation.DNSBLParams and reputation.AbuseIPDBParams;
"AS number and country".
"reputation" where it covers every source, the blocklists included: the internal/reputation package, IPReputationCacheTTL, wantReputation, EventReputationHit, and TestReputationSettingsAsSet and the other tests that cover the blocklists.
"lookup" names such as defaultLookupWait and skippedLookupWait. "Lookup" is the documents' word, and both SWW_WAF_LOOKUP_SOURCE and the new setting name use it.
"Timeout" in test names inside internal/lookup and internal/reputation, where the package name says what is timed.
The defaults of SWW_WAF_IP_REPUTATION_CACHE_TTL (24h) and SWW_WAF_METRICS_BUSIEST_COUNTRIES_AND_ASNS (50). sneak's new values belong to the settings audit, #202.
Comment lines of 81 to 88 columns, which the repo already has throughout.
Sentences where this PR only put in a new setting name.
The next review checks
Each change above is made as written, and nothing else has changed.
The repo's check passes on the head rebased onto current next.
The branch is one commit whose title ends (closes #234). The commit message and the PR body each end with a Model: line and stay within their word limits.
The next review fails this PR only for a change above that is not made, a defect the rework itself adds, a failing check, or a broken iron rule. It lists any other naming or wording point as a one-line note for a follow-up issue, not as a finding.

**Leave alone**
- What the first two reviews asked for, which is done, and the judgement calls already on this PR:
- `TestAVisitorThatGoesAwayWhileWAFIsAskedGetsNoDisposition`;
- "the limit" for Coraza's `SecRequestBodyLimit`;
- `busiest.top`;
- the `Timeout` and `CacheTTL` fields of `lookup.Params`, `reputation.DNSBLParams` and `reputation.AbuseIPDBParams`;
- "AS number and country".
- "reputation" where it covers every source, the blocklists included: the `internal/reputation` package, `IPReputationCacheTTL`, `wantReputation`, `EventReputationHit`, and `TestReputationSettingsAsSet` and the other tests that cover the blocklists.
- "lookup" names such as `defaultLookupWait` and `skippedLookupWait`. "Lookup" is the documents' word, and both `SWW_WAF_LOOKUP_SOURCE` and the new setting name use it.
- "Timeout" in test names inside `internal/lookup` and `internal/reputation`, where the package name says what is timed.
- The defaults of `SWW_WAF_IP_REPUTATION_CACHE_TTL` (`24h`) and `SWW_WAF_METRICS_BUSIEST_COUNTRIES_AND_ASNS` (`50`). sneak's new values belong to the settings audit, https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/smallwebwaf/issues/202.
- Comment lines of 81 to 88 columns, which the repo already has throughout.
- Sentences where this PR only put in a new setting name.
**The next review checks**
- Each change above is made as written, and nothing else has changed.
- The repo's check passes on the head rebased onto current `next`.
- The branch is one commit whose title ends ` (closes #234)`. The commit message and the PR body each end with a `Model:` line and stay within their word limits.
The next review fails this PR only for a change above that is not made, a defect the rework itself adds, a failing check, or a broken iron rule. It lists any other naming or wording point as a one-line note for a follow-up issue, not as a finding.
Model: opus-5-5
Applies the setting renames of the naming audit under the SWW_WAF_ and
SWW_RPROXY_ prefixes, with sneak's names for the IP reputation cache
time and the two time limits, which now take milliseconds. The rproxy
log field default_disposition becomes waf_backend_no_answer, and
config.Config and config.FromEnvironment become config.WAF and
config.WAFFromEnvironment. Go fields, test names and prose follow. No
aliases; nothing reads the old names.
Model: opus-5-5
Done, each paragraph filled to 77 columns, the width the Go style guide sets.
Judgement call: the comment on defaultDNSBLAbuseIPDBWait stays one line of 86 columns, as the one on defaultLookupWait above it does.
