Store a target's number of delivery attempts, at least one (closes #540)

Target.MaxRetries (max_retries) becomes Target.MaxAttempts
(max_attempts), and the form field, parser and ceiling are renamed to
match. 1 is a single attempt with no circuit breaker; above 1 retries
behind the breaker up to that many attempts. Both target forms refuse
0 and less; a blank field on the add target form gives 1, and on the
edit form keeps the stored value. The target page shows the plain
number, and the README's two paragraphs on 0 against 1 become one
sentence.

-# Completed Steps
-
-- 2026-08-24 Bind the plaintext HTTP listener deliberately, via `BIND_ADDRESS`
-  defaulting to `127.0.0.1`, and document the reverse-proxy deployment. A
-  hostname, an empty value or a value carrying a port is a startup error, and
-  the `Dockerfile` sets `0.0.0.0` because a loopback bind inside a container is
-  unreachable (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/268). The same commit
-  removed the shutdown race: `httpServer` is built in the constructor rather
-  than assigned from the serving goroutine, which orders the write before every
-  fx hook and rules out the nil dereference a SIGTERM arriving first would have
-  caused, and `sentryEnabled` is an `atomic.Bool`
-  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/226)
-- 2026-08-24 Remove inbound request signature verification. The entrypoint UUID
-  is the authentication secret, so the per-entrypoint shared secret, the
-  `internal/signature` package, the receiver check, the model fields and the
-  forms are all gone. This reverses the feature that landed earlier in the same
-  milestone (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/67,
-  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/279)
-- 2026-08-24 Stamp the build version into the binary and render it in the UI
-  footer. `script/version` is the single source — `$VERSION`, else
-  `git describe --tags --always --dirty`, else `unknown` — so a `make build`
-  binary and a `make docker` image from one checkout report the same thing, and
-  nothing in it varies between two builds of the same commit, which the release
-  gate's byte-identical assertion would catch
-  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/253)
-- 2026-08-24 Derive cookie `Secure` and CSRF strictness from the request
-  transport rather than from `WEBHOOKER_ENVIRONMENT`. Behind a real TLS proxy
-  with the environment left at its `dev` default, the session cookie silently
-  lost `Secure` while the CSRF cookie on the same response kept it.
-  `X-Forwarded-Proto` is now matched case-insensitively on its first
-  comma-separated element, so `HTTPS` and `https, http` no longer fall to the
-  relaxed CSRF path (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/269)
-- 2026-08-24 Roll back a failed webhook deletion instead of committing it. A
-  failing delete committed whatever had already succeeded, hard-deleted the
-  per-webhook event database anyway, and redirected as though it had worked —
-  orphaned config plus permanently destroyed history, reported as success. All
-  three delete positions now roll back with the event database intact

-  `(deleted)`, rather than leaving the event log unable to say where a delivery
-  went. A deleted target's credentials stay masked exactly as a live one's, and

-- 2026-08-24 Bound both request-controlled `/metrics` label dimensions, so the
-  unauthenticated receiver is no longer a memory-exhaustion vector: `handler`
-  carries the chi route pattern, and `method` folds anything chi cannot route
-  onto a single `(unmatched)` sentinel. Both were reproduced before the fix —
-  300 random method tokens took the series count from 106 to 7,631, and path
-  flooding reached 62,532 — and a label audit across a live scrape found no
-  third unbounded dimension (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/254,

-  is the `max` both templates already declared
-  (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/221)
-- 2026-08-24 Resubmit a stored event as a new undelivered event, so a backend
-  under development can be tested against real captured traffic. Per-delivery
-  replay cannot serve that: it re-sends one finished delivery to its own
-  original target, and a target created for a dev backend has no prior delivery
-  to replay. Resubmit re-injects the stored event at the top of the receiver
-  path and fans it out to whatever targets are active now

-- 2026-08-18 Raise `script/test`'s per-package timeout from 30s to 90s, matching
-  the org-wide backstop. `go test` applies `-timeout` per package, and
-  `internal/handlers` had grown past the old budget: a cache-defeated build
-  failed outright at `GOMAXPROCS=4`, and every run under deliberate host load
-  breached 30s. The measurement table lives in the script (#194)
-- 2026-08-18 Re-sync `REPO_POLICIES.md` from `prompts`. The local copy was stale
-  and still mandated a 20s test target with a 30s timeout, which the org
-  replaced with a 60s cap and a 90s backstop. A synced copy is not a source;
-  reading it as one nearly produced a PR against `prompts` proposing a change
-  already merged there (#196)
-- 2026-08-18 Report handler panics through the logger and answer 500. chi
-  v1.5.5's `Recoverer` scans for a `panic(0x` frame the runtime no longer emits,
-  then indexes `pkg[-1:]`, so it panicked inside its own stack printer before
-  writing a byte: the recovery never ran, the client got a dropped connection
-  instead of a 500, and the original panic was lost. A local middleware replaces
-  it, bounded by `MaxPanicLogLineBytes` (#187)
-- 2026-08-18 Route GORM's logger through `slog` and bound it. Every `gorm.Open`
-  left `logger.Default` in place at `Warn` with `IgnoreRecordNotFoundError`
-  false, so **every record-not-found printed the fully interpolated SQL to

-  rather than only the one reported; the budget moved to a shared
-  `internal/logfield` so no second truncation exists. `DEBUG` being off by
-  default is not a bound and is not treated as one (#176)
-- 2026-08-18 Stop a slow host turning a login-guard test into a segfault. A
-  non-fatal `assert` on an acquire result was dereferenced on the next line, so
-  one timing miss killed the whole `internal/middleware` binary and reddened CI
-  for unrelated PRs. The fix also removed a real production race — `acquire`
-  could shed a request with a slot standing free, because Go picks uniformly
-  among ready `select` cases (#186)
-- 2026-08-18 Send the chi route pattern to Sentry rather than the concrete path.
-  The receiver's path carries the entrypoint capability token, so every Sentry
-  event from `/webhook/{uuid}` shipped a live credential to a third party.
-  Request `Data`, `QueryString`, `Cookies` and `Env` are dropped and headers
-  reduced to an allowlist (#179)
-- 2026-08-18 Read form fields from the POST body only. `r.FormValue` merges the
-  query string, so a login could be driven by URL parameters — putting the
-  password somewhere that lands in access logs, proxy logs and browser history
-  (#160)
-- 2026-08-18 Verify login credentials before spending rate-limit budget, so a
-  flood of wrong passwords cannot lock out the account it is guessing at. The
-  manager took this decision rather than stall the queue; it is flagged on the
-  issue for reversal (#150)
-- 2026-08-18 Run all linting in Docker via `Dockerfile.lint`. Host lint was
-  wrong in both directions from version skew and shared caches. `script/lint`
-  asserts the summary line, because `--no-cache-filter` silently ignores a stage
-  name it does not match — the flag that makes the gate meaningful fails open
-  (#109)
-- 2026-08-18 Serve an event's full stored body over HTTP. The list query
-  truncates for rendering, and that truncated value was the only way to read a
-  body, so the full payload was unreachable (#157)
-- 2026-08-18 Bound the access log line against client-chosen text.
-  `internal/logfield` budgets by _encoded_ bytes, not runes, so a handler's JSON
-  escaping cannot multiply a field past its allowance (#146)
-- 2026-08-18 Mark superseded CI commits `failure` rather than `skipped`. A
-  skipped run rolls up green, so a commit that was never tested reported success
-  (#152)
-- 2026-08-18 Set `fx.StopTimeout` inside the container stop grace, so shutdown
-  hooks are bounded by a deadline the orchestrator will actually honour rather
-  than being killed mid-flush (#134)
-- 2026-08-17 Bucket IPv6 rate-limit keys by `/64`. A single allocation hands out
-  2^64 addresses, so per-address keying let one client mint unlimited buckets.
-  Manager decision, recorded on the issue (#125)
-- 2026-08-17 Correct release-blocking README and startup-warning inaccuracies,
-  including claims about behaviour the code does not have (#151)
-- 2026-08-17 Fetch and verify Alpine.js at build time against
-  `static/vendor.sha256` instead of committing the minified blob, so the
-  dependency is pinned by hash rather than by trust (#145)
-- 2026-08-17 Bound the event log's rendered bodies in the query itself, so a
-  large stored payload cannot be read into memory just to be truncated for
-  display (#135)
-- 2026-08-17 Mask the `http` target's destination URL in the UI: it can carry a
-  bearer credential in its path or query, and was rendered verbatim. Manager
-  decision to mask unconditionally (#115)
-- 2026-08-14 Bound shutdown hooks by their stop context, so a hook that hangs
-  cannot hold the process past its grace period (#102)
-- 2026-08-14 Render templates via a buffer rather than the `ResponseWriter`, so
-  a template error part-way through cannot commit a 200 and then fail — the
-  response is written only once it is whole (#123)
-- 2026-08-14 Align the session codec's max-age with the 7-day absolute cap. The
-  codec accepted cookies the session layer considered expired, so the cap was
-  enforced in one place and not the other (#108)
-- 2026-08-12 Warn when `TRUSTED_PROXIES` is empty in production, where the safe
-  default silently discards forwarded headers and every client rate-limits as
-  the proxy's address (#149)
-- 2026-08-12 Bound the receiver rate limit per client IP across the whole
-  `/webhook/*` route. The existing limiter keyed on the request path and
-  `/webhook/{uuid}` matches any single segment, so a client that invented a
-  fresh path per request minted a fresh bucket per request: the limit on the
-  only unauthenticated endpoint bounded nothing in aggregate, and every request
-  still cost an entrypoint lookup before it 404ed. An outer limiter keyed on the
-  client address alone now bounds that, chained in front of the unchanged
-  per-entrypoint limiter (#139)
-- 2026-08-12 Correct release-blocking documentation inaccuracies: the README
-  promised manual redelivery in the present tense in three places when nothing
-  implements it (the same false claim also sat in the doc comment that was its
-  source text), the env table omitted `RETENTION_SWEEP_INTERVAL`, and `TODO.md`
-  itself omitted five landed units (#141)
-- 2026-08-12 Make the CI gate execute the checks it reports on. The workflow now
-  writes a build-context fingerprint before calling `script/cibuild`, so a code
-  commit invalidates the `COPY` layer of the lint and builder stages while a
-  docs-only commit still replays from cache; a superseding run also rewrites the
-  `failure` status Gitea leaves on commits it cancelled and never tested.
-  Verified by pushing a deliberately broken test and watching CI go red (#119)
-- 2026-08-12 Require a positive `RETENTION_SWEEP_INTERVAL`: a non-positive value
-  reached `time.NewTicker` in both the retention reaper and the archive sweeper,
-  panicking two goroutines with no recover after startup had already reported
-  success (#140)
-- 2026-08-12 Bound the `X-Forwarded-For` scan's allocation to the hop cap: the
-  reverse walk cuts entries with `strings.LastIndexByte` instead of joining and
-  splitting, so a 1 MB header allocates 16 bytes rather than 1.6 MB per request
-  on the unauthenticated receiver. Semantics proven unchanged by differential
-  testing against the previous implementation (#133)
-- 2026-08-12 Cap the `X-Forwarded-For` hop walk at 64 entries, so an
-  attacker-supplied chain cannot burn unbounded CPU in the rate-limit key
-  function; running off the end falls back to the peer address (#124)
-- 2026-08-12 Gate forwarded-header trust behind a `TRUSTED_PROXIES` CIDR list:
-  all three rate limiters key on the connection's own address unless the direct
-  peer is a configured proxy, in which case `X-Forwarded-For` is walked right to
-  left for the first non-proxy hop. Default trusts nothing, and a
-  set-but-unparseable value aborts startup. Before this, any client could mint a
-  fresh bucket or drain another's by rotating a spoofed header (#88)
-- 2026-08-11 Web UI cleanup: nav terminology unified on Webhooks, the Profile
-  settings placeholder removed, a progressive-enhancement copy button for the
-  entrypoint URL, and retention form copy that states the actual policy
-  (deletion by the reaper, 0 retains forever) (#57)
-- 2026-08-11 Mask the webhook credential in delivery errors and logs: Go embeds
-  the request URL in `*url.Error`, so every transport failure persisted the full
-  Slack webhook URL into the per-webhook event database via
-  `DeliveryResult.Error`, a field a future REST API would have served.
-  `maskURLError` drops path, query and userinfo while preserving the wrapped
-  cause, so `errors.Is`/`As` and `Timeout()` still work and DNS, TLS and timeout
-  failures still read differently (#118)
-- 2026-08-11 Rate-limit the public webhook receiver endpoint
-  (`RECEIVER_RATE_LIMIT`, default 120/min), keyed on client IP plus entrypoint
-  path so one entrypoint cannot exhaust another's budget; over-limit requests
-  get 429 with `Retry-After`. It was the one unauthenticated, internet-facing
-  endpoint with no limit at all (#64)
-- 2026-08-11 Enforce the body size limit before CSRF parses the form:
-  `MaxBodySize` is now first in all four form-parsing route groups, so an
-  oversized request is rejected with 413 instead of being read in full by the
-  CSRF middleware before any cap applied (#90)
-- 2026-08-11 Mask target config on the source detail page, which rendered the
-  stored blob verbatim and so exposed the Slack incoming-webhook URL — a bearer
-  credential that cannot be revoked per-holder. Config reaches the template only
-  as a `TargetView` of labelled fields, and header values are rendered as a
-  count (#113)
-- 2026-08-11 Allow `retention_days` of 0 to mean retain forever, via a sentinel
-  written in `BeforeSave` so the GORM column default cannot win the race. Also
-  bounds the reaper's cutoff arithmetic: day counts above 106751 overflowed
-  `time.Duration` and wrapped the cutoff into the future, where every row
-  matched and the sweep deleted everything (#79)
-- 2026-08-09 Inactivity-based session timeout: sliding idle expiry
-  (`SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT`, default `24h`) refreshed on authenticated requests,
-  with the 7-day absolute cap kept as an independent backstop that activity
-  never extends (#66)
-- 2026-08-09 Restart recovery and the 60s retry sweep terminally fail an
-  orphaned `retrying` delivery whose target type no longer supports retries,
-  recording a `DeliveryResult` with the reason instead of leaving the delivery
-  stuck forever (#82)
-- 2026-08-09 Root the delivery engine's worker pool and the retention reaper's
-  sweep loop at `context.Background()` rather than the fx `OnStart` hook context
-  (#97), which carries fx's 15s start timeout and killed both roughly fifteen
-  seconds after boot: the proxy silently stopped delivering webhooks entirely,
-  and the reaper never ran a single sweep under its default one-hour interval
-- 2026-08-09 Archive writer lifecycle (#89): deleting a webhook (or its last
-  `database` target) evicts the cached archive writer and closes its handle
-  while deliberately leaving `archive-{webhookID}.db` on disk, and a new
-  `ArchiveSweeper` prunes idle archives on the existing
-  `RETENTION_SWEEP_INTERVAL` without ever creating an archive file
-- 2026-08-09 Configuration parsing fails loudly on set-but-unparseable
-  environment values: `envInt` removed in favour of `envPositiveInt` plus a
-  `PORT` range check, `envBool` now parses with `strconv.ParseBool`, and
-  defaults apply only to unset variables (#80)
-- 2026-08-07 Automatic event retention cleanup based on `retention_days`,
-  deleting expired events, deliveries, and delivery results from each
