HashBox recordsbytes/hexpairs andletters(mapped0..255to65..90). Graf builds Spot objects then slices to31 nodes (although32byteheader).

Publication QA: direct generator iframe remained blank. The standard AB5D loader fetches official renderer HTML at viewing time into an isolated sandbox. No artist script is stored in the public repository.
