README: mark the SIMtrace2 USB prerequisites as conditional
The prerequisites read as if PyUSB, libusb and SIMtrace2 hardware were needed generally. They are only for `--capture direct` (and the bundled `simtrace2-pysniff` utility): the analyser starts and captures GSMTAP with just Python 3.9+ - verified in a fresh venv without PyUSB, where the server served the PWA and a GSMTAP ATR+APDU landed in the session (2 messages). Both READMEs split the list into "Required" (Python 3.9+) and "Only for capturing from Osmocom SIMtrace2 hardware", and state that GSMTAP capture (the source may even run on another machine), --capture disabled and PCAP imports need none of it. No code change; 557 Python + 80 Node tests.

## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- **Python 3.9+**
|
||||
- **PyUSB** — `pip install pyusb` (needed only for capture from SIMtrace2
|
||||
hardware; GSMTAP/UDP capture and PCAP import work without it)
|
||||
**Required**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Python 3.9+** — GSMTAP capture, PCAP import and browsing use only the
|
||||
standard library.
|
||||
|
||||
**Only for capturing from Osmocom SIMtrace2 hardware** (`--capture direct`, and
|
||||
the bundled `simtrace2-pysniff` capture utility):
|
||||
|
||||
- **PyUSB** — `pip install pyusb`
|
||||
- **libusb** — system library, present by default on Linux; on Windows the
|
||||
SIMtrace2 driver must be swapped (see [USB Device Access](#usb-device-access))
|
||||
- **SIMtrace2 hardware** running firmware in *trace* mode (only for direct
|
||||
capture; VID `1d50`, PID `60e3`, USB class `ff`, subclass `01`). For
|
||||
building and flashing trace firmware, see the
|
||||
- **SIMtrace2 hardware** running firmware in *trace* mode (VID `1d50`, PID
|
||||
`60e3`, USB class `ff`, subclass `01`); building and flashing trace firmware
|
||||
is described in the
|
||||
[upstream SIMtrace2 project](https://gitea.osmocom.org/sim-card/simtrace2).
|
||||
|
||||
No other dependencies. PCAP, GSMTAP, and hex dump output use only Python stdlib.
|
||||
The analyser needs none of this for `--capture gsmtap` (the GSMTAP source may
|
||||
even run on another machine), `--capture disabled`, or PCAP imports.
