docs: create GEMASTIK 2026 Warmup writeups (ch1-14) via MCP DB API
- Deleted all 14 dummy docs from DB + filesystem
- Created 14 Gemastik warmup writeups + index via create_document API (DB-first)
- ch1-ch12: encoding/stego/web/pwn basics
- ch13: RSA small factors
- ch14: RSA special integers via paper-search (GCD with paper appendix primes)
- All 15 docs indexed and live at wiki.asepharyana.my.id

# Back and Forth (500 pts) — Reversing / XOR
**File:** `chall.c`
Flag di-XOR dengan kunci 1-byte `0x42`. Balikkan dengan XOR lagi:
```python
enc = [0x05, 0x07, 0x0f, 0x03, 0x11, 0x16, 0x0b, 0x09, 0x73, 0x7b, 0x39, 0x3a,
0x72, 0x30, 0x1d, 0x2b, 0x36, 0x1d, 0x20, 0x23, 0x21, 0x29, 0x1d, 0x76,
0x25, 0x23, 0x2b, 0x2c, 0x3f]
flag = "".join(chr(b ^ 0x42) for b in enc)
print(flag)
# GEMASTIK19{x0r_it_back_4gain}
```
## Flag
`GEMASTIK19{x0r_it_back_4gain}`
