Serial monitor: bounded for you, persistent for the user

Opening a serial port serves two different purposes, and one script covers both.

	You debugging	The user watching
Goal	capture output, act on it	keep a window open all session
Command	`mon.ps1 -Seconds 10`	`mon.ps1`
Ends	on its own	on Ctrl+C

Read the board yourself whenever you need to verify something — that is what bounded mode is for, and it returns a normal exit code.

The rule that matters most

Bounded when you run it; hand over the interactive one with a note.
