got code to halfway working state: https://bolt.new/~/sb1-7aeavyjz

Using seed phrase from: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/#english

it converted those 24 words to 8 words, but when converting back from 8 words to 24 words, only the first 11 words are correct, & I ran out of time to debug why. My theory is it is not using BIP39 for the rest of the words in the conversion.
