mod_evasive was installed with all directives commented out, causing aggressive defaults (2 req/s per-page) to block legitimate traffic including localhost internal requests. This adds: - Tuned evasive.conf template (DOSPageCount 15, DOSSiteCount 60, DOSBlockingPeriod 60) with full RFC 1918 whitelist - Evasive state tied to ModSecurity mode: enabled in blocking (On), disabled in DetectionOnly to avoid blocking during WAF tuning - waf init writes config + toggles module, waf enable/disable toggles evasive alongside ModSecurity, waf status shows evasive state - 18 new unit tests covering config, state toggling, and mode integration
