histsdk/scripts/decode-runtime-param-capture.py

"""Decode the GetRuntimeParameter WCF request/response (HCAL R1.2).

Reads the chained WriteMessage+ReadMessage capture produced by
scripts/Capture-RuntimeParam.ps1 and locates the GetRuntimeParameter exchange by
searching every MDAS body for the parameter name (UTF-16) on the request side and the
returned value on the response side. Dumps the surrounding bytes so the op name, the
leading handle parameter, and the btRequest/btResponse buffer layout can be read off.

Output is diagnostic. Sanitize before copying into docs/.
