Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 82180f45f7 feat: the mock can drop and invert packets, and carries a noisy channel
--drop-every/--drop-burst withhold datagrams the counter and stream clock
have already advanced over, and --reorder-every inverts a pair on the
wire; both are deterministic for the reason --glitch-at is, since a probe
asserts the spacing of what it finds and a random count is not a figure.
A `noise` signal gives the dense-trace and intensity-floor paths a input
that is not piecewise smooth.

verification.md records the measured readings, including the one that is
a finding rather than a baseline: a burst past kGlitchPackets (256) is
read as a producer clock glitch, each bridge advances the anchor by one
packet span against a timeline 300 ahead, and four consecutive failures
then throw the stream onto the arrival clock.

"""A minimal UDPStreamer (UDPS) producer, for exercising udpscope without MARTe2.
Unicast only: binds `--port`, waits for a CONNECT datagram, then streams CONFIG
once and DATA packets to whoever connected. Publish mode is Accumulate, so each
packet carries `--batch` consecutive samples per (scalar) signal -- the shape the
viewer's per-sample path expects.
Signals: `time` (the stream's own clock, seconds), `sine`, `square`, `ramp`.
Everything is float64 and unquantised.
