Shadow mode: Housecarl beside the firewall in force, changing nothing
shadow.enabled in housecarl.yaml loads Housecarl's ruleset so that it blocks, rejects and translates nothing: drops and rejects count and accept (an accept only ends Housecarl's chain), policies accept and log what they would drop, NAT only counts, MSS clamping and the flowtable are left out, and raw rules that do more than accept, drop or reject are left out with a warning. Comments mark what would happen ([would drop]). Filter chains run after the other firewall's (+10) or before (-10); NAT chains always first. Every change is checked by nftables in both forms. No probation; takeovers and closing connections are refused. The boot fallback filters nothing. internal/tablewatch puts the table back after a flush ruleset. Mode in status, healthz, whoami, the web UI, the log and the tracer; hc ruleset --enforcing. docs/shadow.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

its shadow form (counted, marked `[would …]`) or must be left out

there. `TestShadow` fails on what slips through.

accepts things 1.1.3 refuses; the tests with `HOUSECARL_NFT` and the

e2e test use 1.1.3.
