+"""Capture terminal key sequences in raw mode and print them as hex.
+
+Usage:
+ python3 scripts/capture_keys.py
+
+Behavior:
+- Switches stdin to raw mode
+- Coalesces bytes until input goes idle for 20ms
+- Prints each coalesced sequence as hex + escaped text
+- Exit with Ctrl+G (0x07)
+
+This is meant for collecting real terminal fixtures from Ghostty, GNOME Terminal,
+kitty, iTerm2, Terminal.app, tmux, etc.
