encrypt (lib/encrypt.py)

Not for cryptography or security. This pipeline is deterministic in structure but powered by pseudo-randomness; it hides text for fun/obfuscation only. Do not use for passwords, tokens, regulated data, or anything requiring confidentiality or integrity guarantees.

Exact algorithm (encrypt.obfuscate)

  1. Whitespace strip. Drop every Unicode whitespace character (str.isspace()), including spaces and newlines—not only ASCII space U+0020. If the result is empty, return "" immediately. null/None argument returns null.
  2. Random casing. Independently per character: if char.isalpha(), flip case with probability 50%; otherwise leave unchanged.
  3. Character substitution (every surviving character). Translate all characters whose code points lie in this bidirectional mapping (others unchanged): 1↔l (also L→1), i↔! (I→!), e↔3 (E→3), 0↔o (O→0), S,s↔5, 5→S.
  4. Shuffle. Treat the current string as a list of characters and apply Fisher–Yates with Python’s standard random module (not cryptographically secure).
  5. Random punctuation inserts. Choose an insertion count count uniformly from randint(max(3, ⌊n/4⌋), max(6, ⌊n/2⌋+5)) where n is the string length before inserts. Repeat count times: pick random index from 0..len (inclusive insertion points) and splice in one symbol chosen uniformly from ?///\/"/'/!/./,/:/;/-/[/{/]/}/(/).
  6. Concatenated decimal ASCII ordinals. Emit ''.join(str(ord(ch)) for ch in …) with no separators: e.g. ab → 9798 (97 immediately followed by 98, not spaced). Non-ASCII code points lengthen the digits segment for that character; decoders cannot infer boundaries from spacing because there are none—this encoder is intentionally one-way for casual use only.
