Shared _sanitize_ctl (unconditional, nc-document) and _sanitize_ctl_tty
(strips only when stdout is a terminal) now live in cygwin-safe.sh. nc-msgs,
nc-parse, and the hl7-* tools route stdout through the tty-gated variant, so a
terminal is protected from raw HL7/NetConfig control bytes while pipes and
redirects stay byte-exact (the 0x1c framing route_test needs is preserved).
Exit codes propagate via PIPESTATUS. ssh-helper _read_hidden installs its
restore trap before stty -echo on every path and saves/restores the prior trap.

nc-parse.sh
+ chain <name> [--depth N] [--direction both|up|down]
BFS over sources+destinations from a starting thread; returns the
reachable cluster as TSV (depth, direction, thread).
nc-msgs.sh
+ Filter operator additions:
> >= < <= numeric or lexical (works for HL7 YYYYMMDDHHMMSS timestamps)
>< range "LO..HI" inclusive
+ Filter group additions:
--field AND group (must match; existing behavior)
--or-field OR group (at least one must match)
--not-field NOT group (none may match)
All three groups combine; bug fixed where empty AND group bypassed
OR/NOT checks in the count format.
+ SmatHistory walk:
--include-history also walks $HCISITEDIR/exec/processes/*/SmatHistory/
--all cheat-sheet alias for --include-history
Confirmed working against the real ancout test data:
- chain IB_ADT_muxS finds all 7 downstream destinations
- event=A08 OR event=A03 → 20 (19+1 of 22)
- visit>400000000 → 22 (all numeric in range)
- visit><400000000..400450000 → 22 (range inclusive)
- --include-history → 22 active + 34 history rows = 56 total

Field path improvements (hl7-field.sh + every tool that uses it):
- Accept both `.` and `-` as separators:
PID.3 == PID-3
PV1.3.4 == PV1-3.4 == PV1-3-4 == PV1.3-4
- Field-name aliases (case-insensitive):
mrn → PID.3
account / account_number → PID.18
name / patient_name → PID.5
dob / birthdate → PID.7
ssn → PID.19
visit / encounter / csn → PV1.19
attending → PV1.7
event → MSH.9.2
control_id / msgid → MSH.10
...and ~40 more covering MSH/PID/PV1/EVN/NK1/GT1/IN1/OBR/OBX/DG1/ORC
- Aliases also accept component/subcomponent suffixes:
name.2 → PID.5.2
mrn.1 → PID.3.1
Filter operators (nc-msgs.sh --field):
PATH=VALUE exact equality
PATH!=VALUE not equal
PATH~VALUE contains (case-insensitive)
PATH!~VALUE does not contain (case-insensitive)
PATH=NULL /= null / empty / absent
PATH!=NULL present (any non-empty rep)
PATH=* wildcard — any non-empty value
Multiple --field flags AND; for OR, run two queries.
New output formats for nc-msgs.sh:
text (default) segments per line + metadata header per message
oneline one message per line, segments joined with a ⏎ marker
fields each non-empty field on its own line: "SEG.N: value"
mp alias for fields (matches v1 `mp` semantic)
labeled fields with friendly aliases: "MSH.9 (msg_type): ADT^A08"
raw, json, count — unchanged
MANUAL.md updated with the full operator + format reference.
