Pk2 Extractor <INSTANT • 2025>

Ethics whisper through every extraction. Not every archive should be pried open. Licenses and intent matter. The extractor can be blunt and permissive, or it can include guardrails: warnings, metadata that documents provenance, and options to redact or to script-only dry-runs. Built without malice, it’s a preservationist; built without restraint, it’s an enabler. The tools decide the balance.
