Bloated Export

Hi all, just a quick question, Why does a file with just:

...turn into a 613,141-character bloated blob with embedded:

🧠 NLP fallback engines, 🌐 Cloudflare callouts, 🧾 Regex dictionaries, 🧩 Tag/ID trackers, 🤖 Language corpus logic, 📚 Word class classifiers (Plural, Ordinal, Comparative)

Is this intentional for runtime fallback purposes, or just bundled by default for safety? Genuinely curious if there's a flag to trim it down. Don't get me wrong i love the site and unique prompt building and design, It just feels a bit odd seeing all that baked into a blank export — especially when it includes tracking and a slimline corpus.

Cloudflare callouts

Good catch, thanks. Cloudflare seems to inject its DDoS/analytics stuff into any HTML page returned by the server, regardless of Content-Disposition header which seems like a bug on their end. I'm just manually stripping for now. You'll need to edit your generator to clear the download cache.

As for the others, yeah, it embeds the whole perchance engine, since it can't know in advance (in the general case, at least) whether your code will use any particular perchance engine feature at runtime (JavaScript is a very dynamic language). The v2 engine will be a lot more efficient both in terms of size and speed, but that's unfortunately not going to land any time soon.

Thanks for the tip 😁 yeah its nothing too troublesome if you view the code just when you create a local project and download its bloated and linked, but saving your project raw helps, see this audio player i made,
