#### POSIX user account, group membership & process capability inspector

User and Group Identity Inspector is a desktop POSIX account directory, group
membership mapper, and process capability bitmask viewer for Linux workstations
and servers. An independent Linux alternative to command-line SID and account
lookup tools such as PsGetSid, id, and getent, it reads host /etc/passwd,
/etc/group, /etc/machine-id, and live /proc/<pid>/status records in real time.

Key Features:

* Host Account Directory (/etc/passwd): Separates human accounts (UID >= 1000),
  root (UID 0), and system service accounts (UID 1..999) with login shell
  classification, GECOS metadata, and host home directory status checks.
* Primary & Supplementary Group Mapping (/etc/group): Cross-references primary
  GIDs and supplementary group memberships for every user and group on the host.
* Machine Identity & Process Capability Decoder: Displays the host machine UUID
  alongside live /proc/<pid>/status Real/Effective/Saved UID/GID values and decodes
  64-bit CapInh, CapPrm, CapEff, CapBnd, and CapAmb bitmasks into named CAP\_\* flags.
* Visual Distribution Charts & Reports: Renders UID range and login shell charts
  and exports structured account, group, and capability reports to CSV and JSON.
