Description

### Summary

Display information such as:
- few library functions recognized via FLIRT (memset, strlen, etc.) -> results may include FPs
- no/few API calls
- sample has file limitation
- I think we should still show the capability table by default, as almost always this triggers re-running capa

### Motivation

Provide more useful context to (novice) users.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing capability-table output and the analysis paths that detect FLIRT-recognized functions, API-call counts, and file limitations. Done means novice users see this context by default, including the stated capability-table behavior, with coverage for the relevant cases.
