Code Lathe

A listing turned out line by line, the way an agent actually writes one — each line landing a beat behind the one above so the block builds at a readable pace instead of appearing whole. Highlighting is a single deterministic pass over comments, strings, numbers, and words: enough to read a snippet by, with no parser and nothing to load. In diff mode a leading plus or minus becomes a gutter marker and a tinted row, and is stripped from what gets copied.
