+/* test_quine.c — a C quine: running it prints its own source.
+ *
+ * How it works: the file is a fixed point of a "quinate" function.
+ * The two strings below are that function's data; everything around
+ * them is code that re-emits the data verbatim, spliced back into the
+ * same program shape.  No argv, no /proc/self, no tricks — just two
+ * printf calls.
+ *
+ * Build:  musl-gcc -std=gnu11 -Oz -Wall -Wextra -o test_quine tests/test_quine.c
+ * Check:  ./test_quine | diff - tests/test_quine.c   (no output = quine) */
