check / check (push) Waiting to run
The Core Rule Set, run by Coraza, on each request's method, URL and headers (closes #25)
Coraza v3.8.1 runs the Core Rule Set 4.25.0 (coraza-coreruleset v4.25.0)
after the rule files, with the six changes and the default
SWWAF_WAF_DISABLED_RULES that SPEC.md gives; no body, no response. The
parameter names in the third and fourth changes are matched in any case,
as Coraza does. SWWAF_WAF_DISABLED_RULES refuses 900000 to 900999,
smallwebwaf's own rules. A request with more than 1000 query parameters
adds 5 (rule 900300). In block mode a match is refused with 403, an
offence counted toward the error burst; in detect mode it is let
through. Both log waf_rule_ids, waf_score and duration_waf, raise
waf_block, and count smallwebwaf_waf_matches_total.

Judgement call: waf_block is raised in block mode too.
Deviation: no engine-error path; with no body read, Coraza cannot fail.

Model: opus-5-5
