v0.1.0 Security Baseline: What Barbacana Catches, What It Misses, and What Comes Next

Barbacana v0.1.0 is out. Right after the release, two independent test suites were run to measure what the WAF catches and what it misses. For a first release, the numbers are good: 99.7% on the OWASP CRS v4 conformance tests, 100% on API Security (REST and SOAP), and 90.78% of legitimate traffic allowed through. The full results are published below, without any filtering. It is more useful to know where detection fails than to publish a clean summary.
