Description

enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When debugging under unstable network conditions, requests often fail or the connection drops unexpectedly. This frequently interrupts the capture process and requires manual restarts, which is frustrating and inefficient.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the software to support automatic retries for failed requests, and automatically attempt to reconnect when the connection is lost. This would greatly improve the experience during long or unstable debugging sessions.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually restarting the capture or the whole application, but it's time-consuming and prone to missing important data during the downtime.

Additional context
This feature would be especially useful when capturing traffic over flaky Wi-Fi or remote devices where reconnection delays are common.
