## fix(metrics): don't expose pprof by default
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.

## fix(honeypot/naive): cap r9k delay to one second
Otherwise this can get unbounded, which can cause problems with lesser
HTTP proxies such as Apache.
Ref: AWOO-002
## fix(policy): mend an edge case with subrequest auth and query strings
This fixes an unlikely edge case where using subrequest auth and query
strings with path based filtering can cause reality to differ from
administrator intent. This effectively strips the query string from
subrequest auth checks. This deficiency should be fixed in the future.
Ref: AWOO-004
## fix(expressions): mend possible nil pointer deref edge case
If Anubis just started up, load averages may not be set in memory. This
can cause a nil pointer dereference which could fail requests with weird
errors until the async thread sets the load averages.
Ref: AWOO-005
## fix(lib): mend case where domainless redirects could allow cross-domain redirects
Ref: AWOO-009
## fix(expressions): validate randInt bounds before rand.IntN
Non-positive or platform-overflowing arguments to the CEL randInt
helper used to reach rand.IntN unchecked, surfacing a CEL evaluator
error during request processing when policies passed
attacker-influenced values (e.g. contentLength). Reject non-positive
bounds and detect int narrowing explicitly, returning a typed CEL
error in both cases.

* fix: patch GHSA-6wcg-mqvh-fcvg
PR https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/1015 added the ability for
reverse proxies using Anubis in subrequest auth mode to look at the path
of a request as there are many rules in the wild that rely on checking
the path. This is how access to things like robots.txt or anything in the
.well-known directory is unaffected by Anubis.
However this logic was also enabled for non-subrequest deployments of Anubis,
meaning that a specially crafted request could include a /.well-known/
path in it and then get around Anubis with little effort.
This fix gates the logic behind a new plumbed variable named subrequestMode
that only fires when Anubis is running in subrequest auth mode. This
properly contains that workaround so that the logic does not fire in
most deployments.

You were right @kotx, it is a bad idea to set the global logger

* Update changelog, remove unnecessary one.
* lib: refactor this
This is mostly based on my personal preferences for how Go code should
be laid out. I'm not sold on the package name "lib" (I'd call it anubis
but that would stutter), but people are probably gonna import it as
libanubis so it's likely fine.
Packages have been "flattened" to centralize implementation with area of
concern. This goes against the Java-esque style that many people like,
but I think this helps make things simple.
Most notably: the dnsbl client (which is a hack) is an internal package
until it's made more generic. Then it can be made external.
I also fixed the logic such that `go generate` works and rebased on
main.
