Because this SVG is just the same two paths rendered over and over again on a perfect terminal grid, we can massively shrink the inlined size of the SVG by rendering it with JavaScript using RLE (Run Length Encoding). Before: 89,023 bytes (484,749 until recently) After: 3,816 bytes

e.g.
10A212.9A|= "10 × 1, 212 × space, 9 × 1, newline"Before: 89,023 bytes (484,749 until recently)
After: 3,816 bytes
Despite the smaller size, I left alone the code that conditionally skips rendering this decoration inside unit tests and console.
The SVG has no
idand the JS targets it by looking at the previous element sibling, so the "double render" trick for the hover effect is still fine.
