Kpa-clawbot 78dabd5bda feat(filter): timestamp predicates (after/before/between/age) — #289 (#1070)
Fixes #289.

Adds Wireshark-style timestamp predicates to the client-side packet
filter
engine (`public/packet-filter.js`).

## New syntax

| Form | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `time after "2024-01-01"` | packets with timestamp strictly after the
given datetime |
| `time before "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"` | packets strictly before |
| `time between "2024-01-01" "2024-02-01"` | inclusive range
(order-insensitive) |
| `age < 1h` | packets newer than 1 hour |
| `age > 24h` | packets older than 24 hours |
| `age < 7d && type == ADVERT` | composes with existing predicates |

Duration units: `s` / `m` / `h` / `d` / `w`. Datetime values use
`Date.parse`
(ISO 8601 + bare `YYYY-MM-DD`). `time` is also accepted as `timestamp`.

## Implementation

- `OP_WORDS` extended with `after`, `before`, `between`.
- New `TK.DURATION` token: lexer recognises `<number><unit>` and
pre-converts
  to seconds at lex time (no per-evaluation parsing cost).
- `between` is a two-value op handled in `parseComparison`.
- Field resolver:
- `time` / `timestamp` → epoch-ms; falls back to `first_seen` then
`latest`
    so grouped rows from `/api/packets?groupByHash=true` work.
  - `age` → seconds since `Date.now()`.
- Parse-time validation rejects invalid datetimes and unknown duration
units
(silent-fail would have been a footgun — every packet would just
disappear).
- Null/missing timestamps → predicate returns `false`, consistent with
the
  existing null-field behaviour for `snr` / `rssi`.

## Open questions from the issue

- **UTC vs local**: defaults to whatever `Date.parse` returns. Bare
dates like
`"2024-01-01"` are interpreted as UTC midnight by the spec. Tying this
to
  the #286 timestamp display setting can be a follow-up.
- **URL query string**: out of scope for this PR.

## Tests

- New `test-packet-filter-time.js`: 20 tests covering
`after`/`before`/`between`,
ISO datetimes, all duration units, composition with `&&`, null-timestamp
safety,
  invalid-datetime / invalid-unit errors, and `first_seen` fallback.
- Wired into `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` JS unit-test step.
- Existing `test-packet-filter.js` (69 tests) and inline self-tests
still pass.

## Commits

- Red: `5ccfad3` — failing tests + lexer-only stub (compiles, asserts
fail)
- Green: `976d50f` — implementation
