04 This site

The app's own code runs here.

The demos on this site run code vendored from the GHOSTSHELL source: the neon edge, the 61 theme packs, the GhostFX presets, renderer and ambient scenes, the host bar's ping statistics, and GhostLine's completion engine. The ML-KEM demo encapsulates with @noble/post-quantum 0.7.1, the library GhostVault uses, and decrypts with FIPS 203's K-PKE.Decrypt written out, checked against the library bit for bit over 1,000 runs.
