LOLWUT prints a HotKV text banner followed by the server version. It is a light-hearted command kept for compatibility. Any arguments, including VERSION, are accepted and ignored.

The banner as text: a bulk string in RESP2, a verbatim string (txt) in RESP3.

Redis 7 and Valkey 8 draw generative art that depends on the VERSION argument. HotKV always prints the same banner.
