Module format and executor: 027's 4b-1, a record field holding bytes (type 5): held as a text is but for UTF-8, its default a constant; a function's bytes in a signature this type too (PURE_SIGNATURE_BYTES gone); no list keyed by bytes; replaced, a text field becomes a bytes field keeping its value (pure_cell_as, kinds_carry); images' headers take its kind; the JSON edge reads it from a string; pure-run shows it as hex; an append asks a record's fields held as bytes from a mask the load makes (record_held) instead of each field's type twice, so b32 runs fewer instructions than b30 (BFS without batches -1.05%, join -0.25%, BFS with batches -0.36%, the rest within 0.04%; the bank's queries s30 against s32 -0.01% to +0.30%); unit test bytes_fields (bytes not UTF-8, a text field replaced by a bytes field, three refused); server_trees with a bytes field; 008 and 027
