Research direction

Start with the linked capa-rules pull request discussion, especially the comments about the `bytes` feature, to determine whether hex values should use lowercase or uppercase. Define the chosen convention, enforce it through CI linting, and update the relevant documentation; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
