Bug: Threshold calculation used undefined 'hits' variable.
Code tried to use lifetime_hits at line 2622, but hits wasn't loaded until line 2652.
Result: Adaptive threshold never actually worked - always used default threshold.
Fix: Load IP data (score|hits|bot_type|attacks|ban_count|rep_score) from persistent
ip_data file BEFORE calculating threshold, so we have accurate lifetime hit count.
Now the flow is:
1. Load persistent IP data from ip_data (includes current lifetime hits)
2. Calculate threshold based on CURRENT lifetime hits
3. Check if count > threshold
4. If yes, increment hits and process
5. Write back to ip_data with incremented hits
Example: IP with 5 detections in 3 minutes
- Detection 1: hits=1, threshold=3, needs 3+ connections
- Detection 2: hits=2, threshold=2, needs 2+ connections
- Detection 3: hits=3, threshold=2, needs 2+ connections
- Detection 4: hits=4, threshold=2, needs 2+ connections
- Detection 5: hits=5, threshold=1, needs 1+ connection ✓
If IP has 2+ connections on each scan, detected on scans 2-5+.
If IP has 1+ connection on each scan, detected on scan 5+ (or earlier if more connections).
