docs(issue-21): record success — UDP uptime reached 99.9% over 7-day window
- Fill D+3–D+7 daily log rows; all post-fix days show uptime recovering to 99.9% by D+7 (2026-04-27) - Add D+7 newTrackon snapshot: both HTTP and UDP trackers at 99.90% - Add D+7 live conntrack verification: table at 32.6% utilization, no table-full dmesg events, zero IPv4 UDP receive-buffer errors - Flip decision in 03-pre-post-comparison.md from Partial → Success - Update main issue doc Current State to 2026-04-27 RESOLVED Refs: #21

## D+7 Live Verification Snapshot (2026-04-27)
30+
31+
Checked immediately before merging PR #22 to confirm conntrack is healthy at
32+
peak traffic (~750 UDP req/s, ~2000 HTTP req/s).
33+
34+
Command run:
35+
36+
```bash
37+
ssh demotracker '
38+
echo "=== conntrack counts ===" &&
39+
sudo sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_count &&
40+
echo "=== UDP timeouts ===" &&
41+
sudo sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_udp_timeout net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream &&
42+
echo "=== dmesg table full ===" &&
43+
sudo dmesg -T | grep -i "nf_conntrack: table full" | tail -10 &&
44+
echo "(no output = no table-full events)" &&
45+
echo "=== UDP receive errors ===" &&
46+
cat /proc/net/snmp | grep -E "^Udp:" |
47+
awk "NR==1{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) h[i]=\$i} NR==2{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) print h[i]\": \"\$i}" |
48+
grep -E "RcvbufErrors|InErrors|NoPorts" &&
49+
echo "=== UDP6 receive errors ===" &&
50+
cat /proc/net/snmp6 | grep -E "Udp6RcvbufErrors|Udp6InErrors|Udp6NoPorts"
51+
'
52+
```
53+
54+
Results:
55+
56+
- `nf_conntrack_max`: `1048576`
57+
- `nf_conntrack_count`: `341652` (`32.59%` of max)
58+
- `nf_conntrack_udp_timeout`: `10`
59+
- `nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream`: `15`
60+
- `dmesg` table-full events: none
61+
- `UdpRcvbufErrors` (IPv4): `0`
62+
- `UdpInErrors` (IPv4): `0`
63+
- `UdpNoPorts` (IPv4): `57519` — benign; probes to closed ports, not tracker drops
64+
- `Udp6RcvbufErrors` (IPv6): `56` — negligible cumulative counter since boot
65+
- `Udp6InErrors` (IPv6): `56`
66+
- `Udp6NoPorts` (IPv6): `26183` — benign; same as above
67+
68+
Interpretation: conntrack table is at 32.6% utilization. No table-full events
69+
in dmesg. No IPv4 UDP receive-buffer drops. The 56 IPv6 errors are a cumulative
70+
boot-time counter at ~750 req/s peak and are statistically insignificant.
71+
Conntrack is not overflowing; safe to merge.
