+// createMint builds and submits the two-instruction transaction that
+// creates a new SPL Token mint on devnet:
+//
+//  1. system.CreateAccount — allocates a 82-byte account funded with
+//     the rent-exempt minimum, owned by the Token program.
+//  2. token.InitializeMint2 — writes the mint state (decimals, mint
+//     authority, freeze authority). Prefer Mint2 over Mint: v1.1+ of
+//     the Token program dropped the Rent sysvar account that the
+//     original instruction required.
+//
+// Swap token.ProgramID for token2022.ProgramID (and import the sibling
+// package) to create a Token-2022 mint. Extensions must be initialized
+// between CreateAccount and InitializeMint2, and the account allocated
+// larger than MINT_SIZE accordingly.
