Implements a generic UNIX socket publisher/subscriber pattern for real-time event streaming. The LiveFeedPublisher broadcasts JSON events to connected subscribers, and LiveFeedSubscriber provides an iterator interface. This module is self-contained, with no imports from other internal modules beyond basic types, making it directly extractable as a small library for inter-process communication in any Linux application.

Provides shared curses UI primitives used by both the live top and historical TUI views. Includes a status bar, help popup, modal overlay, and safe text rendering with control character sanitization. The module demonstrates careful handling of terminal edge cases (cursor positioning, color pairs, Unicode width) and can be reused in any curses-based Python application with minimal adaptation.

Defines an abstract ToolAdapter base class with a lifecycle of install/start/pre_trial/collect/stop methods, enabling uniform benchmarking of any CLI or service-based network monitoring tool. Includes concrete adapters for 9 tools and reusable helper methods like _poll_cumulative() for monotonic bandwidth polling with plateau detection. This pattern is directly reusable for evaluating other command-line tools in controlled experiments.
