"""canary-notify: pages your phone when anything touches the decoy NAS.

Runs inside the decoy's network namespace (systemd unit canary-notify), Python standard library only. Two sources:
  - the tripwire: the nftables set(s) in table inet canary collect every source address that sends anything to a
    decoy address (polled every 2 s; catches silent SYN scans that OpenCanary never sees);
  - OpenCanary's log, as JSON lines (logins, page requests, banners).
Per source it sends one raw alert to ntfy at once and holds repeats for 10 minutes; a credential attempt gets its own
raw alert. After ~20 s of collecting, the events go to a small local model (Ollama, optional) and its plain-language
explanation follows as a second, quieter message. The model never decides whether an alert goes out, and everything
the visitor typed is passed to it as untrusted data. A global cap switches to one summary per minute in a flood
(ntfy allows a burst of 60, then 12 a minute per address).

Config: JSON file given as the first argument (default /etc/canary/notify.json).
