[cost: free (pure CPU, no network) | read-only] Parse a raw SIP trace (PCAP-decoded text, sngrep export, syslog, or pasted INVITE/200 dialog) and emit a Mermaid `sequenceDiagram` block visualizing the call flow. Most chat hosts (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub) render Mermaid inline. Lane keying: by default participants are keyed by IP, not `ip:port`, so an endpoint that sends from an ephemeral source port and listens on 5060 collapses into one column. Multi-port IPs list their ports in the participant label (e.g. `10.0.0.1 :5060,:53412`) and arrows touching them get a `(:srcPort→:dstPort)` suffix. Pass `groupByIp: false` to restore the legacy one-column-per-`ip:port` layout. Lane labeling: aliases are matched against (in order) `${ip}:${port}` from message source/dest, then bare `${ip}`, then top-Via host, then Contact host. The most-specific match wins. When no alias matches the renderer falls back to the peer's address rather than emitting `unknown:5060`. Pair with: `minimize_sip_trace` first to compact a noisy trace; `diff_sip_messages` when two adjacent INVITEs in the ladder differ unexpectedly; `lint_sip_request` to validate a single message you pulled from the ladder.
