1//! Stateful conversation extraction and flow tracking.
2//!
3//! This module provides Wireshark-inspired bidirectional conversation tracking
4//! with TCP state machine analysis, stream reassembly, and UDP timeout-based
5//! pseudo-conversation tracking.
6//!
7//! # Architecture
8//!
9//! - **Canonical Key**: Bidirectional 5-tuple with deterministic IP/port ordering
10//! - **Conversation Table**: DashMap-backed concurrent hash table
11//! - **TCP State Machine**: RFC 793 connection states with per-endpoint sequence tracking
12//! - **TCP Reassembly**: BTreeMap-based out-of-order segment management
13//! - **UDP Tracking**: Timeout-based pseudo-conversations
14//!
15//! # Usage
16//!
17//! ```rust,no_run
18//! use stackforge_core::flow::{extract_flows, FlowConfig};
19//! use stackforge_core::pcap::rdpcap;
20//!
21//! let packets = rdpcap("capture.pcap").unwrap();
22//! let conversations = extract_flows(&packets).unwrap();
23//! for conv in &conversations {
24//!     println!("{}: {} packets", conv.key, conv.total_packets());
25//! }
26//! ```
