Connections, "every packet" rules, and a packet tracer
- Connections: the kernel's tracked connections, read and closed over ctnetlink (internal/conntrack, raw netlink like the drop log), with their NAT and TCP state; closing one makes the rules check its next packet again (GET /connections, POST /connections/close; hc connections; Traffic → Connections). - Rules can check every packet (every_packet, --every-packet): before established connections are accepted, so a drop or reject also stops connections already open. They can't accept. - A packet tracer (internal/trace): a table of its own, inet housecarl-trace, marks the packets a filter picks, `nft monitor trace` reports every rule and policy they meet in every table, and the tracer names what accepted or dropped them, Housecarl's rules by name (POST, GET, DELETE /trace; hc trace; Traffic → Trace). One trace at a time, at most 200 packets and 20 a second; the table goes when it ends. e2e: 157 checks, among them an upload a normal block doesn't stop and an every-packet one does, and a trace naming the blocking rule.
