leviathan	347a9af832	banner: give the bit actual teeth release / build (arm64) (push) Waiting to run Details release / build (x86_64) (push) Waiting to run Details release / release (push) Blocked by required conditions Details Previous staircase pattern was just trailing decoration — not real key teeth. Redesigned the bit as a hanging rectangle with two clearly-projecting notch-teeth on its right edge (the part that engages a lock's wards). Switched to box-drawing chars for the bit since they make sharper notches than 8/b/d glyphs; bow stays ornate-ASCII style. Bump 0.4.3 → 0.4.4.	2026-05-16 23:04:14 -04:00
leviathan	023289a03a	banner: artwork is the focal point — plain SKELETONKEY text below release / build (arm64) (push) Waiting to run Details release / build (x86_64) (push) Waiting to run Details release / release (push) Blocked by required conditions Details Previous banner had a SKELETONKEY block-letter art that competed with the skeleton-key drawing for visual attention. Simplified: the key art is now the focal point, and SKELETONKEY is rendered as plain spaced text below the drawing. Slight refinement to the key art: bow is a bit larger (888 instead of 88) to feel more substantial. Bit/teeth pattern unchanged. Bump 0.4.2 → 0.4.3.	2026-05-16 23:01:14 -04:00
