Subject: [PATCH] prompt.ac is nine bytes shorter, and this address exists to
 be scanned
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Same runtime as aesthetic.computer behind a leaner shell — it loads the same
boot.mjs and honours the same autorun — but nine bytes shorter, which is a
whole version of the code once a phone camera's `https://` goes back on. The
scan payload drops from 61 bytes to 52, landing inside a version-3 symbol
instead of spilling into version 4: 29 modules where there were 33, so every
module gets bigger at the same size on screen.
