Add brighter white ANSI constant and update console messages to use consistent color/styling. Simplify print_missing_pages (remove per-page reasons) and make the recovery instruction more explicit. In the live capture runner introduce active_gap_notices to suppress repeated missing-page alerts per pool kind and clear the flag when the gap is recovered. These changes reduce duplicate noise and improve visibility of the guidance shown to users.
Introduce automatic user UID extraction and optional --user-uid override, include user_uid and capture_source in exported JSON, and prepend UID to export filenames (falls back to unknown). Propagate detected protocol (tcp/udp) through live/libpcap parsing and accept TCP packets for UID detection; adjust libpcap filter to capture TCP as well. Update CLI flags (--copy-clipboard semantics, --user-uid), prompt user when UID is missing, and wire UID through mitmproxy and live capture flows. Bump package/exporter version to 0.1.3 and add tests for UID extraction and filename behavior.
Introduce a cross-platform libpcap/Npcap capture backend with a Windows raw-socket fallback and plumbing to select backends via --capture-backend. Add ctypes-based libpcap wrapper (open_libpcap_capture, CaptureStats, LibpcapUnavailable) and a backend factory; refactor live capture runner to use the new backend, StopKeyMonitor, and improved clipboard handling. Make session and protocol decoders resilient to pipelined/multi-page responses and non-byte-aligned streams (alignment iterator, alignment-aware decoding, embedded-record trimming, slice support). Update mitmproxy flows adapter to reuse LiveHistorySession. Expand console messages and docs/README to explain cross-platform requirements, usage, and capture diagnostics. Minor: update package description in pyproject and adjust ARC/response handling and row bookkeeping to record row indices.
Stop treating partially-captured oldest timestamp groups (including Arc 10-pulls) as a special "incomplete" case. All decoded rows are now exported and marked with stable UIDs; the previous INCOMPLETE_* warnings and related console hint logic were removed. annotate_groups and annotate_arc_groups were simplified to always set uid_status="stable" and export_record=True, and arc_stability_warnings was deleted. CLI, live capture runner, console, tests, docs and mappings were updated to reflect the new behavior and to remove emission/handling of those informational warnings.
Anchor page-run selection to start at page 1 (select_continuous_run_from_page_1) instead of picking the longest run, so newest pages are preserved and the newest timestamp ordinal 0 is always captured. Change boundary logic to always assign stable UIDs and export the captured prefix of an oldest timestamp group even when it may be an unfinished 10-pull, emitting informational warnings (INCOMPLETE_TIMESTAMP_GROUP_EXPORTED / INCOMPLETE_ARC_10_PULL_EXPORTED) instead of dropping rows. Apply the same policy to Arc groups and update arc group annotation and warnings accordingly. Add a new console module for improved CLI output and update cli, live_capture, adapters, and session code to use the new run selection and console helpers. Update docs, mappings, and tests to reflect the new boundary/export behavior and messaging.
