Behavior

• work() records the current frame count and resets the elapsed timer.
• drawMiddle() compares the current frame count to the last-used frame. If flow arrived within the last 5 frames, displays a green filled checkbox icon; otherwise shows an empty checkbox.
• drawTooltip() shows the computed flow FPS (1 / lastTime).

Notes

• Known issue: may randomly bug out when first starting execution.
