Route GORM's logger through slog and bound it (closes #178)

GORM's default logger printed the fully interpolated SQL to standard
output on every statement that returned an error, including a plain
record-not-found. On /webhook/{uuid} and on the login form the
interpolated parameter is client-chosen and unbounded, so an
unauthenticated client sized the operator's log, one line per request,
at no level the operator could turn down.

Every gorm.Open in the service now installs internal/gormlog, a
gormlogger.Interface over the service's *slog.Logger. Its lines take
the level the operator set and the handler internal/logger selected; a
record-not-found is not logged as an error, since it is the expected
outcome on both of those paths and each handler already records its
own miss at DEBUG without the SQL; slow statements are kept at WARN
above the same 200ms threshold GORM used; and every value it emits is
spent through an encoded-byte budget.

Trace orders its cases exactly as GORM's own Trace orders them --
error-that-is-not-a-miss, then slow, then routine -- so a statement
that both missed and ran slow is still reported as slow. Ordering the
drop first would have made this adapter strictly less observant than
the IgnoreRecordNotFoundError option it was chosen over, on the two
lookups the issue is about, and a miss is the statement most likely to
be slow.

That budget is internal/middleware's truncateLogField, moved to a new
internal/logfield package now that a second writer needs it. The move
is unchanged logic. MaxAccessLogLineBytes bounds a GORM line too, and
internal/gormlog asserts each line against the constant directly.

The third gorm.Open, in the archive writer, was not named in the issue
and had the same default. All three sites are pinned independently:
internal/handlers covers the main and per-webhook databases,
internal/delivery covers the archive writer, whose type is unexported.
Reverting any one of the three to a bare &gorm.Config{} fails the
suite.

The flood test's per-line and volume assertions were vacuous, because
the replaced default logger wrote only to a buffer while everything
else went to the captured stdout. It now tees to stdout as GORM's real
default does, so a reverted call site lands in the same capture and
those assertions measure the whole writer set.

README: the ceiling now covers GORM, and the writers it does not cover
are re-derived by measuring rather than by reading. fx's console
logger and the Go runtime write to standard error. net/http's nil
ErrorLog is not a separate writer at all -- slog.SetDefault redirects
the log package's default logger into internal/logger's handler, so
those lines arrive on standard output at INFO. A handler panic reaches
that same path because chi's Recoverer crashes before writing, which
is filed as #187 and is also the widest line the service can write, at
2,772 bytes against the stated 2,560.

+The same hook rewrites the request URL. The SDK builds it as
+`scheme://host/path` from the concrete path, which on the receiver
+route is `/webhook/<uuid>` in full — and that UUID is a write
+capability, not an identifier: anyone holding it can post events this
+service accepts and its targets then deliver. A tracker has its own
+retention, access control and deletion policy, so the rule the access
+log follows above does not carry across that boundary. What is sent is
+the chi route pattern instead: `http://host/webhook/{uuid}`.
 
-The headers are an allowlist for that second reason: the SDK's own
-filter removes four names and passes everything else, which would ship
-`X-CSRF-Token` and the shared secrets senders put on the receiver
-route. What survives still names the failing route — scheme, host,
-path, method — and `X-Request-Id` ties the event to the local access
-log line that holds the rest. Nothing dropped is needed for the
-likeliest use, debugging a CSRF rejection. Its three inputs are the
-TLS decision, `Origin` and `Referer`; the latter two are kept, and the
-first is already in the retained URL, because the SDK derives that
-URL's scheme from `r.TLS != nil || r.Header.Get("X-Forwarded-Proto") == "https"` —
-byte for byte the predicate `internal/middleware/csrf.go` uses to
-choose between the `csrf.Secure(true)` and `csrf.Secure(false)`
-handlers. So dropping `X-Forwarded-Proto` costs nothing. The dropped
-provider headers (`X-GitHub-Event`, `X-Gitlab-Event` and the like) are
-real signal but are recorded locally on the event, and
+The scheme and the host are kept, and everything else in the URL is
+discarded rather than edited, so a future SDK version that starts
+appending a query string cannot widen this. The scheme has to survive
+for the reason given below. The host is whatever the request's `Host`
+header carried — this service validates no hostname, so on a directly
+exposed deployment a client sets it — and that same header is on the
+allowlist above, so scrubbing the host out of the URL would withhold
+nothing that is not sent anyway.
+
+The body, the query string and the URL are all handled on every route
+rather than filtered by route. For the URL that is also what keeps the
+event locatable: an error event is grouped by its exception and stack
+trace, not by its URL, so replacing the path with the pattern costs no
+grouping and the pattern still names the route in the UI. And an
+unconditional rule cannot leak on a route somebody forgets to add to
+it, which a route-conditional one can. For the body there is a second
+reason: nothing debuggable is lost, because every handler reads its
+fields with `PostFormValue`, so the body is exactly where the
+credentials are — the target destination URL, the login password, both
+password-change fields — and the one route whose body is genuine
+signal is the receiver, whose body is already stored on the event and
+served from the UI, so a tracker is not where anyone reads it.
+
+The route is reachable from the hook only on the error dispatch.
+`sentryhttp`'s recover path puts the request on the context it hands
+to `RecoverWithContext`, and the SDK carries that context through to
+`BeforeSend` as `hint.Context`, so
+`hint.Context.Value(sentry.RequestContextKey)` yields the live request
+and chi's `RoutePattern()` yields the matched pattern off it. The
+transaction dispatch has no such request: a finished span captures
+with a nil hint, which the client replaces with an empty one, so
+`BeforeSendTransaction` sees no context at all. Tracing is off in this
+service, so no transaction event is produced today, but the hook is
+installed on both dispatches as a floor.
+
+Where the pattern is out of reach — the transaction dispatch, an event
+captured outside the router, or a request that matched no route — the
+fallback is never the concrete path. The path becomes the literal
+`/(redacted)`, so the URL reads `http://host/(redacted)`; a URL the
+rewrite cannot parse into a scheme is withheld whole. A transaction
+event additionally carries the SDK's own `METHOD /path` name, built
+from the concrete path as well; it is rewritten on the same terms, to
+`POST /webhook/{uuid}` where the pattern is known and `POST
+/(redacted)` where it is not.
+
+The headers are an allowlist for the same reason the rules above are
+unconditional: the SDK's own filter removes four names and passes
+everything else, which would ship `X-CSRF-Token` and the shared
+secrets senders put on the receiver route. What survives still names
+the failing route — scheme, host, route pattern, method — and
+`X-Request-Id` ties the event to the local access log line that holds
+the rest. Nothing dropped is needed for the likeliest use, debugging a
+CSRF rejection. Its three inputs are the TLS decision, `Origin` and
+`Referer`; the latter two are kept, and the first is the scheme of the
+retained URL, because the SDK derives that scheme from
+`r.TLS != nil || r.Header.Get("X-Forwarded-Proto") == "https"` — byte
+for byte the predicate `internal/middleware/csrf.go` uses to choose
+between the `csrf.Secure(true)` and `csrf.Secure(false)` handlers.
+That is what the rewrite above preserves it for, and it is why
+dropping `X-Forwarded-Proto` costs nothing. The dropped provider
+headers (`X-GitHub-Event`, `X-Gitlab-Event` and the like) are real
+signal but are recorded locally on the event, and
 `Sentry-Trace`/`Baggage` are already reflected in the event's trace
 context.

+That figure is now the ceiling on a second writer as well. GORM's own
+default logger printed the fully interpolated SQL — parameters and all
+— to standard output on every statement that returned an error,
+including a plain record-not-found, at a level no operator setting
+reached. Two of this service's lookups miss by design on

+take the level the operator set and the handler `internal/logger`
+selected, and every value it emits is spent through the same 512-byte
+encoded budget (`internal/logfield`). A record-not-found is not logged
+as an error: it is the expected outcome on both of those paths, and
+each handler already records its own miss at `DEBUG`, without the SQL.
+Slow statements are kept — at `WARN`, above the same 200 ms threshold
+GORM used, with the statement bounded — because that report is the one
+thing GORM's logger gave an operator that nothing else here does, and
+a statement that both missed and ran slow is still reported as slow.
+The adapter orders those cases exactly as GORM's own `Trace` orders
+them, so dropping the miss costs an operator no report that GORM's
+`IgnoreRecordNotFoundError` would have kept. A
+GORM line spends at most two of those budgets, the statement and the
+driver error, against a smaller fixed portion than the access log's;
+`internal/gormlog/gormlog_test.go` asserts each line against
+`MaxAccessLogLineBytes` directly rather than leaving it as arithmetic.
+
+**What the ceiling does not cover.** It is a per-line bound on the
+access log and on GORM's statement logging, not a bound on every line
+this service writes. The exceptions are named here because a bound
+that is true of one writer and silently false of another is worse than
+no stated bound at all.
+
+- Other `slog` calls that reach a client-chosen value — the
+  `MaxBodySize` rejection, the CSRF failure, the receiver rate-limit
+  rejection, and the two lookup misses above — still log the request
+  path or the submitted username untruncated.
+- The `log` delivery target (`internal/delivery/target_log.go`) writes
+  the entire inbound event, headers and body, to the log. That is what
+  the target is for. Each line is bounded per event by the 1 MB
+  receiver body cap, and it costs nothing unless an authenticated
+  operator creates a target of that type.
+- Two writers that do not go through `internal/logger` at all, both on
+  standard error. `fx` prints the dependency graph and the lifecycle
+  hooks through its default console logger at startup and shutdown —
+  nothing calls `fx.WithLogger`, and `fx.New` builds that logger over
+  `os.Stderr`. The Go runtime writes a panic or a fatal error itself;
+  a panic in a background worker rather than in a request handler is
+  the case that reaches it, since nothing recovers those. Neither
+  carries a client-chosen value at a client-chosen length: the five
+  `panic` calls in this service are invariant guards over constants
+  and over `crypto/rand`.
+- `net/http`'s own faults, which are **not** a separate writer.
+  `internal/server/http.go` builds its server with a nil `ErrorLog`,
+  so `net/http` falls back to the `log` package's default logger — and
+  `internal/logger` calls `slog.SetDefault`, which redirects that
+  logger into whichever handler it installed. Those lines therefore
+  arrive on standard output, shaped like every other line, at `INFO`.
+  They are not truncated and they are not bounded by the ceiling: a
+  handler panic arrives as one record carrying a whole goroutine
+  stack, measured at 2,772 bytes against the ceiling's 2,560. The
+  value is the runtime's, not a client's.
+- A handler panic reaches that path rather than the one it looks like
+  it should. `internal/server/routes.go` installs chi's
+  `middleware.Recoverer` in front of every route, which is meant to
+  print the panic and its stack to standard error and answer 500. On
+  the Go version this service builds against it does neither: chi
+  v1.5.5's stack pretty-printer looks for a `panic(0x` frame that the
+  runtime no longer emits, walks past the end of its own slice, and
+  panics before writing a byte. That second panic escapes to
+  `net/http`, which drops the connection and reports it through the
+  nil `ErrorLog` above. Tracked separately in
+  https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/187.
