The `display_as` field in an `.entry_json` file must match the regex `^[a-z][0-9a-z]*$` now. This is needed to reduce errors during the final round while converting a potential submission to entry form. Modify `1992/buzzard.2/.entry.json` and `1993/rince/.entry.json` to change `display_as` field to use lower case. Correct `2012/omoikane/.entry.json` to correctly reflect changes made by commit2955e5d07eand commit2955e5d07e. Change `bin/cvt-submission.sh` to verify that the `display_as` matches the above regex. Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.2.2 2025-06-30" to "2.3.0 2025-07-02". Rebuild all tarballs, both at the entry and the year level due recent changes to `var.mk`, `1337.mk`, and `ioccc.css`. Rebuild sitemap due to the changes above. Ran `make update` to test and perform the above.

STATUS: INABIAF - please DO NOT fix
For more detailed information see 1989/fubar in bugs.html.
To use:
./fubar <number>
Try:
./try.sh # run on 1 - 7
./fubar.sh 2 # run via script
./fubar 2 # run directly
Judges' remarks:
Run this with a single digit argument (or wait a long time and risk an infinite loop and compilation error as described in the 1989/fubar in bugs.html file). This is, however, a feature, not a bug.
The blank line at the beginning of the source is mandatory. Do you know why?
NOTE: the file ouroboros.c is created by the program itself so this is why it
is not in the repository.
Author's remarks:
In a nutshell, this is probably the slowest and most
obnoxious factorial program ever written. Unfortunately,
the name of the C source must be ouroboros.c; the name is
hard-coded into the program.
The source is a legal shell script and a legal C program. The shell script compiles itself, and then executes the resulting binary, giving the source as input. The program works by successively modifying #define lines each pass through.
Both indent and cb will damage the program, indent
much more so.
