public/novnc is unbundled noVNC source. The dynamic import pointed at rfb.js, so the browser walked
the module graph natively: fetch a file, parse it, discover its imports, fetch those, repeat. The
graph is 42 modules and six levels deep, so opening the desktop cost six SEQUENTIAL round trips and
42 requests before the VNC handshake could even start — and a hard refresh pays it in full every
time. Over the tailnet that is the "takes a long time to load", not the pixels.
Bundled with bun: 52 modules to one 190 KB file, 56 KB gzipped, one request. The regeneration
command is in a comment next to the constant so a future noVNC bump does not silently keep serving
a stale bundle.
The source tree stays: it is what gets bundled, and keeping it makes the diff of a version bump
readable.
