Replaced the sparse-noise-specks static effect with a jagged horizontal glitch band (plus scattered specks), still procedurally generated with Pillow -- no source footage involved. Tried deriving this look from a real, explicitly free-to-use "VHS glitch" stock clip first, but dropped that approach: even downsampled to 32x32 and thresholded for transparency, recognizable footage content showed through at any opacity that read as an actual band rather than noise, and it compressed noticeably worse than procedural noise. Verified payload stays well under the 460KB limit against the live station.
