clmystery: A command-line murder mystery

I came across this the other day and spent about an hour working through it. I found it to be a fun exercise which required a good combination of reasoning and programming in bash.
It's a little confusing that there's random text in a bunch of places. I ended up stumbling upon an important detail that led me to the correct solution. Going back and looking at the hints, I skipped a step or two in the intended investigation.
Still fun, thanks!
Edit to add: there's a "murder mystery in a crash dump", too: https://lobste.rs/s/rxtnpg/fatal_core_dump_debugging_murder_mystery
