Description
I frequently want as many traces of $CONDITION as I can get. Right now I build a command line, watch it go, wait til it fires, _wait for it to decode_, and rerun.
I _can_ write a shell loop around this, but you know what sounds great? A flag to "once you're done, re-arm and do it again with a fresh filename".
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the command-line option handling and the trace capture flow for the existing $CONDITION command. Define the re-arm behavior, including fresh filenames and waiting for decoding, then add coverage for repeated captures and verify that the command can collect multiple traces without manual reruns.
