NetWatch v0.29.0 — a new “dense” view: your whole network on one screen

NetWatch is a terminal network monitor in Rust. v0.29.0 adds a third view for when you have a big terminal.

Dense view — netwatch --view dense

• Four boxes filling the terminal. No header bar, no menu bar, no status bar — identity, sort state, paging and every keybind live inside the box borders, so every row carries data.
• Mirrored throughput graph: download grows up from a shared time axis, upload grows down from it. Traffic symmetry is a shape you recognise before you read a number. Braille at two samples per character cell, and colour encodes magnitude, not which series it belongs to.
• Per-interface rates with 60-second sparklines, four-hop latency budgets (gateway / DNS / internet / slowest peer), and a connection table whose selected row expands in place — no second screen.
• Wants 130×44 and grows into whatever you give it; falls back to 80×24.

Kernel TCP state per connection — cwnd, ssthresh, mss, rwnd read straight from the kernel (list64` on macOS) and normalised so the numbers mean the same thing on both. Throughput tells you what happened; cwnd agains.

Saturation against real e negotiated link rate (sysfs on Linux, getifaddrs on macOS) instead of guessing.

V cycles full → lite → dense, sharing the same live capture — no restart, no lost history.
