feat: Peak-hour ISP throttling detection and alerts #15

Description

@ajithakdev

Summary

Analyze test history to detect if the user's ISP is throttling speeds during peak hours (typically 7 PM – 10 PM) and surface this insight prominently.

Feature

  • Analyze stored history (200 entries) for time-of-day patterns
  • Detect if speeds consistently drop >40% during evening hours
  • Show a "Throttling Detected" badge/alert in the popup
  • Include throttling analysis in the PDF health report
  • Optional notification: "Your speed drops by 60% most evenings between 8-10 PM"

Why

This is the #1 complaint from ISP customers on Reddit. Having timestamped evidence of throttling is powerful for:

  • Calling ISP support with data
  • Filing FCC/regulatory complaints
  • Deciding whether to switch providers

Implementation

  • Add analyzeThrottling() in a new analytics.ts module
  • Group history entries by hour-of-day
  • Compare peak (7-10 PM) vs off-peak averages
  • Surface results in side panel dashboard
