## v0.13.0 — 2026-05-01
### Fixed
- **SUB 5A bulk waveform stream — over-read bug for events ≥ 2 sec.**
`read_bulk_waveform_stream` was walking the chunk counter past the actual
end of the event, picking up post-event circular-buffer garbage that
corrupted reconstructed Blastware files for any waveform > ~1 sec. The
loop now extracts the event's `end_offset` from the STRT record at
`data[23:27]` of the probe response and stops the chunk walk when the next
counter would step past it. Verified against three BW MITM captures
(4-27-26 + 5-1-26): 2-sec event drops from 37 over-read chunks to 7
bounded chunks; 3-sec drops to 9; non-zero-start "event 2" drops to 9.
### Added
- `framing.bulk_waveform_term_v2(key4, end_offset, last_chunk_counter)` —
computes the corrected SUB 5A TERM frame's `(offset_word, params)` per the
formula confirmed across all 3 BW captures. Not yet wired into
`read_bulk_waveform_stream` (the legacy TERM is still used to preserve the
existing `blastware_file.write_blastware_file` frame-structure expectations);
available for the next iteration that switches to BW's 0x0200 chunk step.
- `framing.parse_strt_end_offset(a5_data)` — extracts the event-end pointer
from the STRT record in an A5 response payload.
Adds a new CapturingTransport wrapper in minimateplus.transport that mirrors
every TX/RX byte to two raw .bin files using the same on-wire format as
bridges/ach_mitm.py, so the resulting captures are byte-for-byte compatible
with the existing Blastware MITM captures and load directly in the Analyzer.
A new "Download" tab in seismo_lab.py lets the user connect to a device over
TCP or serial and run connect / list-keys / download-events while the wrapper
saves raw_bw_<ts>.bin (our TX) and raw_s3_<ts>.bin (device TX) into a
seismo_dl_<ts>[_<label>]/ session directory. On completion, the panel hands
both files to the Analyzer and switches tabs, mirroring the UX of the
existing Bridge capture flow.
Previously every Blastware connection auto-created files.
Now TCP mode works the same as serial mode:
- Start Bridge: proxy listens and forwards silently, no files written
- New Capture: opens raw_bw/raw_s3 files; pipe threads write to them
- Stop Capture: flushes and closes files, fires Analyzer callback
- No connection = no file; multiple captures per bridge session work correctly

Brings back the protocol-exp BridgePanel design:
- Single bridge session stays up; New Capture / Stop Capture create
labelled raw-file segments on demand (no files created at bridge start)
- Capture history listbox shows all segments; double-click reloads in Analyzer
- On capture complete: Analyzer auto-populates and runs analysis
TCP mode integrated into same tab (Serial/TCP radio toggle):
- Each incoming Blastware connection is automatically a capture segment
- Session appears in history list; Analyzer wires up live on connect
- Stop Capture disconnects current TCP session

Removes the separate 'TCP Capture' tab and folds TCP MITM capture directly
into the existing Bridge tab. A Serial/TCP radio selector at the top swaps
the connection fields (COM ports vs. listen port + device host:port) while
keeping the same Start Bridge / Stop Bridge / Add Mark buttons, capture
checkboxes, log dir, and live log — identical UX for both modes.

New 'TCP Capture' tab in seismo_lab.py: listens on a configurable local
port for an incoming Blastware connection, transparently forwards all
traffic to the real seismograph device, and saves both directions to
raw_bw_<ts>.bin / raw_s3_<ts>.bin in the same format the Analyzer already
understands. Session start wires up Analyzer live mode automatically via
the same on_bridge_started callback as the COM-port bridge.

Add 0x5A (BULK_WAVEFORM_STREAM) and 0xA5 (BULK_WAVEFORM_RESPONSE) to
SUB_TABLE so they display with real names instead of UNKNOWN_5A/A5.
Revert S3 checksum validation to checksum_valid=None (the original
intentional behavior). Large S3 frames (A5 bulk waveform, E5 compliance
config) embed inner DLE+ETX sub-frame delimiters; the trailing 0x03 of
the last inner delimiter can land where the parser expects the SUM8
checksum byte, causing false BAD CHK on every valid A5 frame.
protocol.py _validate_frame documents and ignores exactly this issue.

parse_s3 had the S3 terminator logic inverted vs the real S3FrameParser
in framing.py. It was terminating on DLE+ETX and treating bare ETX as
payload, which caused every bare 0x03 to be swallowed — bundling multiple
real S3 frames into one giant body until a DLE+ETX sequence happened to
appear. Result: 583-byte POLL_RESPONSE 'frames' containing many real
frames concatenated, all showing BAD CHK.
Fix: mirror S3FrameParser exactly —
- Bare ETX (0x03) = real frame terminator
- DLE+ETX (0x10 0x03) = inner-frame literal data (A4/E5 sub-frames),
appended to body and parsing continues

Frame 0 is always the probe; frames 1+ are always data (waveform ADC
chunks, compliance config, compliance continuation). Gating on
classify_frame() at fi>0 produces false positives: ADC binary data
can coincidentally contain b"STRT\xff\xfe", causing frames 1 and 5
to be silently dropped from the body (confirmed from live capture on
event key=01110000). Remove all type-based filtering; include every
frame unconditionally with the standard index-based skip amounts.
Add classify_frame() which categorises each A5 frame by content:
terminator — page_key == 0x0000
probe_or_strt — contains b"STRT"
metadata — contains compliance-config ASCII markers
(Project:, Client:, Standard Recording Setup, …)
waveform — binary-heavy (< 20% printable ASCII), i.e. raw ADC data
unknown — fallback
Update write_blastware_file() body loop: frame 0 (probe) is still
always processed; frames 1+ are only included when classify_frame
returns "waveform". Metadata frames (compliance config block with
Project:/Client:/etc.) and any stray STRT-bearing frames are skipped
with a warning/debug log. Terminator frame handling is unchanged.
Adds temporary print() diagnostics so each frame's classification is
visible in the server log to aid debugging.

For 2-second events at 1024 sps the "Project:" metadata frame appears
beyond chunk 32 (the old default cap), causing the safety limit to be
hit and ~34 KB of waveform data to be downloaded instead of stopping
at the metadata frame. Raising max_chunks to 128 ensures
stop_after_metadata=True can locate the metadata frame for record
times up to ~4 seconds.

- Update `s3_bridge.py` to default raw capture file paths to "auto" for timestamped naming.
- Modify `gui_bridge.py` to pre-check raw capture options and streamline path handling.
- Extend `ach_server.py` to save both incoming and outgoing raw bytes for analysis.
- Revise `CHANGELOG.md` and `instantel_protocol_reference.md` to reflect changes in recording mode handling and compliance data encoding.
