v3.1.0 — Stability & Cross-Platform Release

What's New

20 bug fixes focused on stability, correctness, and wider platform support.

Bug Fixes

• Kill logic rewritten — proper SIGTERM → wait → SIGKILL escalation
• Silent exit crashes fixed — set -e no longer kills the script on arithmetic operations
• Config file security — replaced source with safe key=value parser
• JSON output — properly escapes quotes, backslashes, and control characters
• macOS Bash 3.2 compatibility — removed mapfile dependency
• Process detection — added ss as fallback; netstat no longer required
• netstat parsing — platform-specific column extraction (was broken on Linux)
• Docker return codes — kill_docker_container_by_port no longer returns error on success
• lsof cache — consistent PID extraction between cached and fresh paths
• Whitelist parsing — fixed operator precedence bug
• Monitor display — dynamic line count instead of hardcoded 20
• Benchmark math — fallback path no longer requires bc
• Security scan — removed duplicate port entry

New Features

• --no-color flag for piped/scripted output
• Automatic TTY detection (colors disabled when piping)
• All global variables properly initialized

Improvements

• Script reorganized into 10 labeled sections with table of contents
• History file only trimmed when exceeding threshold (was every write)
• Terminal scrollback preserved (no more clear)
• Help text includes NOTES section
• Version synced across all 20 packaging/documentation files

Packaging

• All packaging updated: Homebrew, DEB, RPM, AUR
• netstat moved from required to optional dependency
