Boot fallback, flowtable devices that come and go, healthz, renames
The boot unit fails closed: if ruleset.nft doesn't load, it loads ruleset-fallback.nft (render.Fallback), saved beside it from the same configuration: nothing new in from external zones, established, the ICMPv6 IPv6 needs and DHCPv6 replies let in, the inside left alone and masqueraded, and the unit marked failed with a critical message. housecarld replaces it when it applies; status, the dashboard and /healthz say while it is in force. no_external_zone now also says the fallback closes everything without an external zone. The boot ruleset has no flowtable: nftables on Debian 13's kernel refuses one naming a device that doesn't exist yet (ppp0 before PPPoE), and with it the whole file. internal/linkwatch listens to rtnetlink link messages; housecarld applies again when a flowtable device appears or comes back as a new interface (by ifindex), under the engine's lock. docs/flowtable.md: what it does, when to use it and when not, how. GET /healthz reports firewall (applied, unconfigured, fallback, missing), changes on probation and the machine's warnings, with 503 unless in force, read at most every five seconds. Renaming a zone, set or service changes what names it in the same change (one history entry, one undo); dynamic sets keep their names. The importer keeps a chain's head in order: once a would-be built-in stays a rule, the ones after it do too, so the maintainer's ICMPv6 accepts stay behind the invalid drop as written. hc settings set --flowtable none empties the list. make test (nft 1.1.3) and make e2e (242 checks, with VLAN sub-interfaces, the fallback and the flowtable) pass.
