"""Start a kernel from source without writing __pycache__. A script is compiled from source each time it starts; a module loads its cached bytecode. The kernel is long, so this keeps about 4 MB of compile work out of every kernel's memory. With `--run ` the daemon starts this file directly: it leaves the daemon's session and sends what it writes before its own output capture starts to `/kernel.log`.
