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
