phases

1. split the file into chunks after the UNCLEJACKIE header
2. transform payloads (see hint 3 in the 256 challenge readme)
3. reconstruct what we can from structure: math sequences, images, waves, prngs, and the rest
4. compress anything left with lzma

the source could be minified for a better score, but this repo keeps it readable and maintainable instead.
