chimw: the chi-shaped helpers of the custom services
GetHead registers a read route under GET and HEAD both, which cover, bench
and tokens had each spelled out — five copies of three lines, under three
names. RenderRefusals points chi's NotFound and MethodNotAllowed at the
service's own error page, which spec and dolt install neither of, so a
mistyped URL there is the one refusal on the instance that answers in
plain text. RequestLogger is a chi LogFormatter emitting slog records, in
place of chi's colourised stdlib line on stdout — the highest-volume line
a service writes and the only one that was neither structured nor on
stderr.
It is a second middleware package and not a wing of the first because
sr-ht-ecore/middleware needs nothing but net/http and that rule is worth
keeping; the boundary is whether the helper has to know what a route is.
A request line is Info, a 5xx is Error, and 499 stays Info by being below
500, which is what that code was chosen for. Skipping probe noise is the
caller's call, through a predicate. The logger goes outside RecoverPanics
so the line reports the error page that was rendered rather than the
nothing an unwinding stack has written.
middleware: report panics through slog
The two log.Printf lines were the last stdlib log in ecore, and they printed
a formatted sentence where every service on the instance now emits structured
records — a panic report that cannot be filtered by path or grouped by route
is the one log line an operator most wants to query.
Through slog's default logger rather than one handed to RecoverPanics: a
library has no business choosing a handler. The service installs scribe's at
startup with SetDefault, and these land in the same stream, with the same
masking, as its own lines.
