v0.1.7: collapse flat-rate zones to one option; add DL capture script

- Start-session: when the single-estimate fallback finds the same price at the
  min and max duration (a flat-rate zone like DL), show ONE option — "$X flat,
  parked until <end>" — instead of a wall of identical-price rungs. No reason to
  offer shorter durations when the price doesn't change.
- capture-dl.mjs: dumps the DL zone's live requests+responses (tokens redacted)
  to ~/Downloads/dl-capture/ for a durable record.
