Live Traffic

Why we did this

Earlier cycles replayed a fixed log. Real traffic is fluid: new senders and destinations keep appearing, and some get much busier than others.

What happened

Dots now appear as traffic arrives and grow with activity, and the view zooms itself to fit. Pulse lines can be straight, angled or curved.

Made qflow behave like live traffic

Commits in the qflow repo are all by Mark Parson; the record names nobody, so git authorship is the source.
