abrown38andClaude Opus 5.5 5ee324c588 Zone matrix: partly, what is let through, hits; hc matrix aligned
A cell reads allow, block or partly (some new connections let through,
the rest not), with its exceptions counted by what they do (+3 -1), and
what they let through: services with the addresses they are limited to,
under the grid in hc matrix and in each cell on the Matrix page. A zone
to itself is marked: only traffic routed between its interfaces passes
the firewall. The details list each rule's hits. hc matrix pads the
grid by visible width: the colours' escape codes had thrown it out of
line.
