In the "Libre Barcode Project" discussion yesterday, 1bpp asked: "Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?"
Yes. I had some tokens to burn and was curious... turns out, it's possible. This was put together by a mix of Gemini, GPT, and Claude (depending on which usage limits kept running out).

That's a wonderfully cursed idea.

This is absolute black magic. I never realized OpenType rules were powerful enough to render something as complex as a QR matrix inline.
