The script was setting E=0x1B[ as a literal string instead of the actual ESC character (ASCII 27), causing color codes to display as text like "0x1B[33m[+]0x1B[97m" instead of rendering as colors. Changed the SetOnce subroutine to properly capture the ESC character using the 'prompt $E' technique before building the ANSI escape sequence prefix. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
