Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Inspect HTTP(S) requests and responses in a local debugging proxy after Charles’s 30-day trial. Compare each tool’s interception, editing and export limits separately. Requires proxy and HTTPS certificate configuration. Terminal or mitmweb interface rather than Charles’s desktop UI; certificate-pinned clients need additional setup. This is HTTP debugging, not a general network packet analyser.
