"""Turn 1-bpp source rows into framed strip packets for the VT1200 stream.
A *strip* frame is *N* unique rows of 1280 pixels, each row 160 bytes packed MSB
first. The terminal blits row *n* to destination row ``n * stretch`` with the
blitter's vertical stretch, so each source row is reused ``stretch`` times and
the whole screen is repainted from *N* = 1024 / stretch rows. That is the whole
scheme: 128 rows is a full-screen frame at 20,480 B of payload, 8 rows is a
16th of the screen at 1,280 B.
The wire form is the 16-byte header from :mod:`harness.udpstream.frame` followed
by the packed rows, split into datagrams of at most :data:`CHUNK` bytes. The
header travels **once, in the first packet**, and the body continues immediately
after it -- the terminal reassembles the datagrams in order and then checks the
header against the whole payload, exactly as the C receiver does:
[ header | body ... ][ body ... ][ body ]
The header CRC covers header[0:12] **only** (ruling R14): the body bytes are
covered by each datagram's Ethernet FCS, and a payload-wide CRC is far too slow
on the terminal's CPU. ``pack_header`` is still called with
``payload=rows_1bpp`` as an advisory check that the body is exactly
``payload_len`` bytes -- it does not change the CRC.
Pure standard library; no dependency on any host-side capture stack.
