-⚠️  ATTENTION: ARP flux protection not enabled.
-
-    NetAlertX relies on ARP for device detection. Your system currently allows
-    ARP replies from incorrect interfaces (ARP flux), which may result in:
-
-      • False devices being detected
-      • IP/MAC mismatches
-      • Flapping device states
-      • Incorrect network topology
-
-    This is common when running in Docker or multi-interface environments.
-
-    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-    Recommended fix (Docker Compose):
-
-    sysctls:
-      net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore: 1
-      net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce: 2
-
-    ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-    Alternatively, apply on the host:
+⚠️  WARNING: ARP flux sysctls are not set.
 
+    Expected values:
       net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore=1
       net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2
 
-    Detection accuracy may be reduced until this is configured.
+    Detection accuracy may be reduced until configured.
