Research direction

Start by reproducing the localhost interception failure on macOS using the issue's reported setups: the proxy filter removed, localhost.proxyman.io, and a hosts-file entry. Compare those results with a non-localhost HTTP request and document which configuration fails; the work is done when localhost HTTP requests are captured or the specific limitation and required configuration are identified.
