fix: redirect preservation, health check, Content-Length, UI simplification

- health.go: treat any HTTP response as reachable (only connection errors fail)
- main.go: CheckRedirect in handleReturn to preserve 302 + Set-Cookie
- middleware.go: Content-Length for POST/PUT/PATCH bodies, CheckRedirect
  in forwardToWAF and forwardToReturn
- web/: replace stats panel with 3-state WAF indicator (DISABLED/ENABLED/FAILED)
- README: update defaults, architecture, health check docs
- .agents.md: update verified status for Wallarm integration

 # Firewall Plugin — Verified Architecture
 
-## WAF Loop Test (2026-08-08)
+## Wallarm Integration (2026-08-08)
-- **WAF at 10.1.0.11:8081** forwards traffic correctly to return port
+- Wallarm active on 10.1.0.11:8081 — full chain working
-- **Plugin return listener on 10.1.0.10:8081** proxies to backends
+- Nginx requires `proxy_set_header Host $http_host` to preserve Host for backend routing
-- Verified with test-web.py: WAF → return port → Hello World response (200)
+- Plugin redirect preservation fixed — login Set-Cookie and 302 now pass through
-- Full chain: Zoraxy → Plugin → WAF → Return Listener → Backend works
+- Health check: any HTTP response = reachable (connection error only = failure)
+- UI: simplified to 3-state indicator (DISABLED / ENABLED / FAILED)
 
 ## Known
-- 502 from WAF when plugin return listener proxies real backend (52KB response)
+- Forgejo/Gitea login: requires redirect preservation + nginx Host header fix
-- Short test-web.py response (small) works fine
+- X-Forwarded-For chain preserved through Zoraxy → Plugin → Wallarm chain
-- Wallarm configuration may need buffer/timeout adjustment
