The PROOF file contained a raw hexdump with no context, making it appear as an unexplained artifact.

Changes

  • PROOF: Prepended a plain-text explanation clarifying the two properties the hexdump demonstrates:
    1. The byte-offset labels (00000000:, 00000010:, 00000020:, …) form an inherent x: y: z: style hierarchical structure with meaning up to EOF.
    2. The encoded string terminates at offset 00000020 with single byte 2e (.), illustrating that long strings — particularly those rooted at 0 — typically end with a trivial hex reference.

The original hexdump is preserved intact below the explanation.

Pull request overview

Adds explanatory context to the PROOF artifact so the included hexdump is clearly intentional and interpretable, rather than appearing as an unexplained binary/hex blob.

Changes:

  • Prepended a plain-text explanation describing what the hexdump is meant to demonstrate.
  • Preserved the original hexdump content unchanged beneath the explanation.
