pprof[1] is the Go standard library profiling toolkit. It is invaluable
for diagnosing how Go programs perform in the wild. However it also is
able to expose secret data set with command line flags. This is not
ideal and should be mitigated by correctly configured firewall rules. We
don't live in a world where people correctly configure firewall rules,
so we have to fix things for people. Welcome to 2026.

* Resolve#1193
Address documentation and error message issues around REDIRECT_DOMAINS and required keywords in bot specifications.
* Add CHANGELOG entry
The default Anubis systemd configuration is very restrictive in
order to prevent any possible compromise of Anubis to be useful
by threat actors. As such, it assumes all logs will be pushed to
the system journal. Some administrators do not want Anubis' logs
to be pushed to the system journal and want Anubis to log to a
file instead.
This change documents how to set up ReadWritePaths in the Anubis
systemd configuration such that Anubis can lot to a file as
administrators expect.
Closes: #1468

This makes it clear that when generating a kubernetes secret to pull the bot stopper image that:
- no email is required
- a user is required but the actual value of the username is not checked
- the GH token needs to be pasted in

* feat: first implementation of honeypot logic
This is a bit of an experiment, stick with me.
The core idea here is that badly written crawlers are that: badly
written. They look for anything that contains `<a href="whatever" />`
tags and will blindly use those values to recurse. This takes advantage
of that by hiding a link in a `<script>` tag like this:
```html
<script type="ignore"><a href="/bots-only">Don't click</a></script>
```
Browsers will ignore it because they have no handler for the "ignore"
script type.
This current draft is very unoptimized (it takes like 7 seconds to
generate a page on my tower), however switching spintax libraries will
make this much faster.
The hope is to make this pluggable with WebAssembly such that we force
administrators to choose a storage method. First we crawl before we
walk.
The AI involvement in this commit is limited to the spintax in
affirmations.txt, spintext.txt, and titles.txt. This generates a bunch
of "pseudoprofound bullshit" like the following:
> This Restoration to Balance & Alignment
>
> There's a moment when creators are being called to realize that the work
> can't be reduced to results, but about energy. We don't innovate products
> by pushing harder, we do it by holding the vision. Because momentum can't
> be forced, it unfolds over time when culture are moving in the same
> direction. We're being invited into a paradigm shift in how we think
> about innovation. [...]
This is intended to "look" like normal article text. As this is a first
draft, this sucks and will be improved upon.

* refactor(dns): simplify FCrDNS logging
* docs: clarify verifyFCrDNS behavior
Add a note to the documentation for `verifyFCrDNS` to clarify that it returns true when no PTR records are found for the given IP address.
* fix(dns): Improve FCrDNS error handling and tests
The `VerifyFCrDNS` function previously ignored errors returned from reverse DNS lookups. This could lead to incorrect passes when a DNS failure (other than a simple 'not found') occurred. This change ensures that any error from a reverse lookup will cause the FCrDNS check to fail.
The test suite for FCrDNS has been updated to reflect this change. The mock DNS lookups now simulate both 'not found' errors and other generic DNS errors. The test cases have been updated to ensure that the function behaves correctly in both scenarios, resolving a situation where two test cases were effectively duplicates.
* docs: Update FCrDNS documentation and spelling
Corrected a typo in the `verifyFCrDNS` function documentation.
Additionally, updated the spelling exception list to include new terms and remove redundant entries.

With this change, setting targetSNI to 'auto' causes anubis to
use the request host name as the SNI name, allowing multiple sites
to use the same anubis instance and same backend, while still securely
connecting to the backend via https.
See https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/424
Also, will allow to set cookie `SameSite` mode on command line or
environment. Note that `None` mode will be forced to ``Lax`` if
cookie is set to not be secure.
