- Zero-width chars in the RE: line → key. Map \u200b=10, \u200c=00, \u200d=11, \u2060=01, decode → n1ghting4le_0v3rwatch.
- <w:del> / <w:delText> runs, keep only author J. Okafor (26 runs × 96 base64 chars). Sort by w:date ascending, concatenate, base64-decode → nightingale.zip.
- unzip -P 'n1ghting4le_0v3rwatch' nightingale.zip → notes.txt.
- Trailing whitespace of each notes.txt line (40 lines × 8 chars): space=1, tab=0, MSB-first → flag. Flag: XploitXβ{tr4ck3d_z3r0w1dth_sn0w_l4y3rs}
