 ### Added
 
+- **Sets from Jarl** ([docs/jarl.md](docs/jarl.md#sets-from-jarl)). A set
+  can hold the addresses of names in Jarl instead of listing them:
+  every A and AAAA record of each name, CNAMEs followed (within Jarl's
+  zones, in the same view), one view per name (`NAME@VIEW`; a name more
+  than one view covers must say which). housecarld reads them through
+  Jarl's API every `jarl.refresh` (a minute) and after each change, and
+  when they change applies the ruleset again, without a history entry
+  (audited as `set.jarl`). A set uses only the addresses `within` the
+  zones (their connected networks, which grow with the zone) and
+  networks it names; others are left out and warned of (`jarl_outside`).
+  While Jarl can't be read, sets keep the addresses they had, saved in
+  the database for restarts and in the boot ruleset (`jarl_unreachable`).
+  Names that give nothing say why (`jarl_name`: no record, a wildcard
+  only, a CNAME out of Jarl or in a loop, below a delegation, a secondary
+  zone, more than one view). `hc set add --jarl NAME@VIEW --within ZONE`,
+  `hc set jarl SET [--refresh]`; the kind "from Jarl" and Addresses… on
+  the Sets page; `GET /sets/{name}/jarl`, `POST /sets/{name}/jarl/refresh`.
+  Housecarl's Jarl token needs `records:read` for the zones.

 ### Changed
 
+- Moving a rule several places is one change. The Rules page has a
+  **Move…** button that puts a rule before any other of its chain (or at
+  the end) at once, and in a changeset a move right after a move of the
+  same rule takes its place, so ↑ three times stages one operation (and
+  moving it back where it was takes the operation out).
+- Statistics' "Busiest rules" (the Statistics page, `hc stats`,
+  `GET /stats/summary`) lists only rules and NAT objects. Built-ins and
+  policies have their own list ("Built-ins and policies", `builtins` in
+  the API): the established built-in passes most of the traffic, so it
+  topped the list every time and made every rule's bar look empty.
+- `hc user delete` asks first, as every other delete does, and takes
+  `-y`/`--yes` not to; it deleted the user and their tokens at once.

 ### Fixed
 
+- Link-local addresses (`fe80::/10`) are refused in the IPv6 antispoof
+  list and in your prefixes (`antispoof_link_local`). Dropping them on
+  external zones dropped the ISP's router adverts and DHCPv6 replies
+  before the built-ins could accept them: the IPv6 default route expired
+  and, later, the delegated prefix would have. A configuration saved
+  with one keeps being applied, but the next change is refused until it
+  is taken out. `hc import nft` leaves them out, with a note.
+- An IPv4-mapped prefix (`::ffff:0:0/96`) is refused with an error that
+  says so; it was refused as "has host bits set; the prefix is invalid
+  Prefix".
+- `hc forward show` shows the forward's hits and comment, and its
+  hairpin as `no`, `yes` or `yes, from …` (it printed `no -`).
+- A history entry's ruleset diff showed the object it changed as moved:
+  stepping back put the old form at the end of its list, so updating
+  one port forward (turning hairpin off) also showed its forward and
+  DNAT lines moving down. The diff is now only what the change did, and
+  its sides are named `before N` and `after N` instead of `now`.

+## Sets from Jarl
+
+A set can take its addresses from Jarl instead of listing them: you name
+DNS names, and the set holds their addresses. Rules use it like any other
+set. When a record changes in Jarl, the set follows within a minute,
+without a change to Housecarl's configuration.
+
+```sh
+hc set add nas --jarl nas.adbraun.lol@internal --within lan
+hc rule add forward --in wg --to nas --service smb
+hc set jarl nas                       # what it holds, name by name
+```
+
+In the web UI: Sets → Add set, kind "from Jarl". The **Addresses…**
+button shows what the set holds.
+
+A set from Jarl has:
+
+* **names**: one or more names, each `NAME@VIEW`, or `NAME` when only one
+  of Jarl's views has it ([Views](#views));
+* **within**: where its addresses may be, one or more zones or networks
+  ([Within](#within)). It is required.
+
+It has no entries of its own, and isn't dynamic. It can be renamed (it goes
+by its names in Jarl, not by its own).
+
+### What a name gives
+
+Housecarl reads the name's records as named would answer them in the
+view:
+
+* **Every A and AAAA record** of the name. A name with three addresses
+  puts all three in the set, IPv4 and IPv6 alike; a rule using the set
+  matches each family with its own addresses.
+* **CNAMEs are followed**: `files.adbraun.lol CNAME nas.adbraun.lol.` gives
+  nas's addresses. Chains are followed up to 8 CNAMEs, from zone to zone
+  (a sub-zone such as `wg.adbraun.lol` too), but always in the **same
+  view**, and only into zones Jarl holds. `hc set jarl` shows the chain:
+  `files.adbraun.lol → nas.adbraun.lol`.
+* **Disabled records** are left out, as named leaves them out.
+
+A name gives **no addresses**, and a warning (`jarl_name`) says why, when:
+
+* it has no A, AAAA or CNAME record (only an MX, say, or nothing);
+* only a **wildcard** (`*.adbraun.lol`) would answer for it: wildcards
+  aren't followed, so name a record of its own;
+* a **CNAME leads out of Jarl** (`host.duckdns.org`), into a zone Jarl
+  doesn't hold, or to a name with no address;
+* the CNAMEs **loop**, or are more than 8;
+* it is **below a delegation**: NS records in the zone hand that part to
+  other servers, so Jarl doesn't hold its records;
+* its zone is a **secondary, mirror, stub or forward zone** (Jarl doesn't
+  hold their records), or **disabled** in Jarl;
+* no zone the token can see holds it.
+
+A **reverse zone** isn't involved: Housecarl reads the A and AAAA records
+only, never PTRs.
+
+An **in-view zone** (one view serving another's zone) is followed to the
+zone it serves: `srv.adbraun.lol@vps` reads the internal view's records if
+vps's `adbraun.lol` is an in-view of internal's.
+
+### Views
+
+The same name can have different addresses in different views: Jarl's
+`internal` view may give `nas.adbraun.lol` its private address, `external`
+a public one. A set reads **one view per name**, written `NAME@VIEW`:
+
+* **Name the view your devices see.** The firewall matches the addresses
+  packets carry, and for devices inside that is the internal view's.
+* **Without a view**, the name is read from the only view that has a zone
+  for it. If zones in **more than one view** hold it, the name gives
+  nothing until you name the view (`jarl_name`: "is in Jarl's views
+  external, internal: name the view"). This counts every view whose zones
+  cover the name, even one where the name has no record: a record added
+  there later would otherwise change which view Housecarl reads.
+* **Linked zones** make no difference: a shared record has the same
+  address in every view, and a view's own records are why the view is
+  named.
+* **Without views** in Jarl, write the name alone.
+* A set can mix views: `--jarl nas.adbraun.lol@internal --jarl
+  host.adbraun.lol@vps`.
+
+A wrong view can't widen the set: an address from it that isn't
+[within](#within) is left out.
+
+### Within
+
+`--within` says where the set's addresses may be. Each entry is:
+
+* **a zone**: the networks connected to its interfaces (the addresses on
+  them, as `hc status` lists them), IPv4 and IPv6;
+* **a network, address or range**: `10.10.0.0/24`, `2001:db8:10::/64`,
+  `192.0.2.7`.
+
+An address from Jarl that isn't within any of them is **left out** of the
+set, and a warning names it (`jarl_outside`: "nas.adbraun.lol has address
+192.0.2.9, which is left out: not within lan"). The set's other addresses
+stay. So a record changed in Jarl, by mistake or by someone who shouldn't,
+can only point the set at addresses you allowed.
+
+Zones grow by themselves: when you add a VLAN to the `lan` zone, or give
+an interface another network, its addresses count at once. A new zone
+counts only once you add it to `within`. If a zone's interfaces have no
+address for a while (at boot, a link down), the networks it had last count.
+
+Some addresses never count, whatever `within` says: unspecified (`0.0.0.0`,
+`::`), loopback and multicast ones.
+
+`within 0.0.0.0/0` or `::/0` lets any address in, and gives a warning
+(`set_jarl_anywhere`): then whoever can change the names in Jarl decides
+what the set holds. Name a zone or a network instead. For an address
+outside your networks, such as a VPS's public address, name that address
+or its network.
+
+### When the addresses change
+
+Housecarl reads the names every `jarl.refresh` (a minute), right after a
+change to Housecarl's configuration (a new set or name), when an interface
+changes, and when you ask: `hc set jarl NAME --refresh`, or **Read Jarl
+now** in the web UI.
+
+When a set's addresses change, housecarld puts the ruleset in force again
+with the new ones. That isn't a change of the configuration: there is no
+history entry and no probation. It is recorded in the audit log
+(`set.jarl`, "added 10.10.0.22; removed 10.10.0.20") and in the journal.
+
+A new set holds nothing for the moment until its names are read, usually
+less than a second.
+
+**Open connections aren't closed** when an address leaves a set, as with
+any change to a set: the connection's packets are let through as part of an
+established connection (or by the flowtable). Close them with `hc
+connections close` if they must stop at once.
+
+### When Jarl can't be reached
+
+A set **keeps the addresses it last had** while Jarl can't be read: Jarl is
+down, the network to it is, or the token stopped working. Nothing is
+emptied, so rules keep working. A warning says so (`jarl_unreachable`), on
+the status page and in `hc status`, and `hc set jarl` shows when Jarl last
+answered.
+
+What was last read is saved in the database. After a restart or a reboot,
+the sets get those addresses at once, before Jarl is read again, and the
+boot ruleset ([operations.md](operations.md)) has them too.
+
+When Jarl **answers** that a record is gone, its addresses go. Only a
+failure to read keeps them.
+
+Without `jarl.server` in `housecarl.yaml`, sets from Jarl keep what they
+had (nothing if Jarl was never read) and warn (`jarl_not_configured`).
+
+### Who decides what the set holds
+
+A set from Jarl lets **whoever can change those records in Jarl** decide
+which addresses a rule matches. Keep that in mind for rules that accept:
+
+* `within` limits it to networks you chose;
+* Housecarl's token only reads ([step 1](#1-a-user-for-housecarl-in-jarl));
+* give the records' zones only to people you'd let change the firewall,
+  and check Jarl's audit log for who changed what.
+
+**Don't use names that clients choose for themselves.** A name a DHCP
+server makes from the client's own hostname belongs to whoever asks for
+it: any guest could call itself `nas`. Name records that you made by hand,
+or that come from a DHCP reservation.
+
+### Seeing what a set holds
+
+```
+$ hc set jarl nas
+Set:        nas
+Within:     lan
+Holds:      10.10.0.20, 10.10.0.21

+```
+
+The web UI's **Addresses…** button on the Sets page shows the same, and the
+status page lists the warnings: names that give nothing (`jarl_name`),
+addresses left out (`jarl_outside`), Jarl not read (`jarl_unreachable`).
