SOLVED!

Thank you all for the helpful suggestions. Although it has turned out to be
something totally different, and a teachable lesson in web app design...

This go tool of mine has a very simple web interface with controls for a
set of jobs on the main page.
The jobs on this list can be run, viewed, and most importantly, cancelled
via an endpoint of the form "/cancel/?id=nnnnnnn" ...
I have had the site up in a "demo" mode on the public internet at various
times, including recently -- it turns out that very recently some crawl
bots must have found it, and they are following those /cancel/ links on the
dashboard almost as soon as they appear -- they must be scanning at <5sec
intervals to find the new unique jobIDs encoded in each 'cancel' link. Oops
:)

The app's usually behind an auth page, but this time it wasn't. I'm not a
web dev so rookie mistake I suppose!
I guess I really should have a 'robots.txt' file served out by my go app to
prevent this, and perhaps consider other client session ids to prevent
outside crawlers from accidentally activating my app's link endpoints.

Thank you again, all.
