Hats off! It's like watching someone tie shoelaces with their teeth
while juggling plates. Today a flip-flop, tomorrow the NSO emulating a
LISP machine to crack your phone passwords in situ.
It reminds me when I was working in the defence sector in an airgapped building with no windows and a 12 month purchase order lead time on anything actually usable. We used to do stuff like this just to not be bored or frustrated.
I wrote a full bytecode runtime in VBA inside MS Word that generated dynamic documents on the fly and a high level language and compiler for it that our test systems could emit stuff to. I did this because I was bored writing up test results by hand. I dread to thing of the poor guy who inherited it when I quit.

Nice. Creativity rules against constraints.
