GTC / generative text codec

image in, editable text out, image back. The JTM file below is the actual transmission.

JTM -- THE FILE ITSELF (EDIT ME)

Try it: change a hex value in "palette", or edit a number in a rect op, then press Decode edited text. Panel 03 re-renders from your edit. This is the whole pitch -- the image is text, so you (or Claude) can edit it like text.
