Funnel o bytes through your < prompt, trigger an O override, and turn a pursuing # into a stopped * process.

Move continuously through five original terminal circuits with arrow keys or WASD. Routed bytes leave a visible trace, each quota opens a fixed exit, and later circuits add processes, matching override orbs, and more complex topologies.

Each circuit carries one override orb per pursuing process. An orb reverses pursuit long enough to squash a running process in place. It resumes where it stopped; it is never eaten or sent home. The server verifies the route budget, circuit progress, timing, life state, and score formula.
