Task: a French recipe paragraph with an erratic mixed-case pattern hides a message via Baconian steganography. Solution: extract alphabetic letters, map case to bits (lower=0, UPPER=1), split into 5-bit groups, and decode as 0-25 indices into the full 26-letter alphabet (not the 24-letter I=J/U=V variant) to recover the plaintext.
