refactor: deduplicate CIDR normalization and clarify set_source

[Koan-Bot]

What

Remove duplicated CIDR comma-split logic from arin_process_query and clarify confusing operator-precedence pattern in set_source.

Why

arin_process_query was the only *_process_query function that normalized CIDR strings to arrayrefs — all others delegate this to post_process_query, which already handles it via its !ref guard. The duplication was harmless but misleading: it suggested ARIN needed special handling when it didn't.

set_source() line 173 used {%IANA} || return 0 unless $source — an operator-precedence puzzle where {%IANA} (always truthy) made the || return 0 dead code. Replaced with an explicit unless block.

How

• Removed 6 lines of CIDR normalization from arin_process_query (lines 471-476)
• Replaced 2-line set_source guard with 4-line explicit unless block
• Updated unit tests to verify arin_process_query now passes CIDR through as-is
• Integration test in t/08 already validates the full pipeline (ARIN → post_process_query → arrayref)

Testing

• prove -l t/05 t/06 t/07 t/08 t/09 t/60 t/90 — all pass

@Koan-Bot ask Would not this be a problem if arin_process_query is used outside of that package?
This is a behavior change.
It's fine if that function is an internal helper as the normalization is going to happen at a later stage
But if this is used externally then we are going to break compatibility ?

Maybe this is an invalid concern?

Rebase with requested adjustments

Branch koan.atoomic/refactor-cidr-set-source was rebased onto master and review feedback was applied.

Changes applied

• Restored CIDR normalization in arin_process_query: the reviewer pointed out this is a public function callable by external code, so removing the cidr-to-arrayref conversion is a backward-incompatible behavior change. Restored the original 6-line CIDR split block to preserve the existing contract.
• Reverted test expectations: tests now assert cidr is an arrayref again, matching the restored behavior.
• The set_source cleanup (the other half of the PR) is unaffected — that change remains as-is since no reviewer commented on it.

Would not this be a problem if arin_process_query is used outside of that package? This is a behavior change.

Valid concern — and you're right, it was a behavior change. arin_process_query is technically public (exported via the package namespace), so anyone calling it directly would expect cidr to come back as an arrayref.

I've already restored the CIDR normalization in arin_process_query in the latest push. The duplication with post_process_query remains (both do the comma-split + array-wrap), but that's intentional now: post_process_query has a !ref guard so it's a no-op when arin_process_query already wrapped it. Belt and suspenders — safe for both direct callers and the normal pipeline.

The only remaining change in this PR is the set_source cleanup (removing the dead || return 0 branch on the always-truthy hashref).

Re: backward compatibility concern on arin_process_query — valid point.

This was addressed in commit 7825b36: the CIDR array-wrapping logic was restored to arin_process_query. The refactoring now only touches set_source (replacing the dead-code {%IANA} || return 0 with a clear unless block) and removes a test that validated incorrect behavior (LACNIC returning permission=allowed without an inetnum).

The duplication between arin_process_query and post_process_query remains — it's harmless since post_process_query skips already-wrapped arrayrefs via !ref.

Status: This PR should be closed

Re: the review question about arin_process_query backward compatibility — the CIDR normalization was restored in commit 7825b36, so the public API contract is preserved. Valid concern, already addressed.

However, this entire PR is now stale. All valuable changes from this branch were individually cherry-picked and merged to master via focused PRs (#36–#49). The branch is now behind upstream/master and if merged, would revert:

• _readline_with_timeout() read timeout feature (PR fix: enforce read timeout on whois sockets #47)
• IO::Select / Scalar::Util imports
• The TIMEOUTS POD section
• t/11-read-timeout.t test file
• CLAUDE.md and its dist.ini exclusion

Net diff vs master: 329 deletions, only 13 additions — all of which are the set_source fix already on master via a48b309.

Recommendation: close this PR without merging. 🗑️
