+// Minimal, in-order-only TCP stream reassembly: tracks each flow's two
+// directions separately, accumulating payload bytes as segments arrive
+// exactly in sequence order. Out-of-order segments and retransmissions
+// are dropped rather than buffered for later reordering - a real
+// limitation, but a reasonable one for a learning-focused reassembler
+// capturing directly on an endpoint (this project's demonstrated use
+// all session: lo, wlp1s0, tailscale0), where segments mostly do
+// arrive in order. A capture point far from either endpoint (e.g. a
+// middlebox) would need real out-of-order buffering this doesn't do.
+//
+// The point: HTTP's dissector (wireframe/l7/http.hpp) only ever sees
+// one segment at a time, so a request/response split across TCP
+// segments - a Host: header landing in the second packet of a
+// request, say - is invisible to it. Feeding the *reassembled* stream
+// back through the same parse_http() lets it see what single-segment
+// dissection structurally can't.
