Code golfing is the act of finding ever and ever smaller, but functionally equivalent, expressions of a specific piece of code. Usually involves a lot of tricks specific to the language the golfing is done in.

So yes, it would contain the PortableSecret minimized to such an extent that the whole thing fits in a QR-code (which has a practical upperlimit of a few KB?)

Gotcha. Thank you.

IDK about including a full HTML into a QR code (how would you even open it? Wouldn't a reader get confused expecting a URL or plain string?)

But...

You can publish portable secrets on your website (just make sure they aren't advertised/linked/crawled) and then create a QR code of the (secret-by-obscurity) URL.
