+"""Curate the compressor key-derivation moduli baked into CompressorPrimes.cs.
+
+The compressor derives its key stream with  state = state * state % m  on both the
+obfuscator side (CompressorContext.Encrypt) and the injected runtime (Decrypt). The
+round-trip is correct for ANY modulus because both sides share it, so the historic
+fixed constants (0x143fc089 / 0x444d56fb / 0x8a5cb7 — which are not even prime) can be
+replaced per pack to kill the de4dot/AV fingerprint. This script selects the curated
+replacement sets, choosing values that preserve key-stream quality:
+
+  * prime and congruent to 3 mod 4  -> squaring permutes the quadratic residues, so the
+    stream cannot collapse to a fixed point for residue seeds;
+  * same bit-length as the original -> preserves value ranges (no (uint) truncation);
+  * mixing health at least as good as the original, measured by simulating the exact
+    ulong generator over thousands of random 32-bit seeds.
+
+Deterministic (seed 69) so the emitted set is reproducible. Run from the repo root:
