I think I may have run into a bug, tell me if I'm wrong. I tried putting the paper into the bucket before solving the code on the computer. The paper disappeared from my inventory but it showed me the "invisible ink" message, the same one you get from cracking the computer code. Subsequently clicking on the bucket says "But what's that at the bottom?" but no longer shows the close-up. Is that how the puzzle is supposed to work, or am I doing something wrong?

Not a bug! Note that the message isnt entirely the same! There's an additional adenda that gives you the next clue :)

Ah, OK.

The reason it felt like an error is that presumably the paper and the notecard both also have ink on them, and so it seems like the effect should be caused by submerging them in the bucket.
