Write me a minimal one-file program that connects to a TikTok LIVE stream using the Tik.Tools API + WebSocket gateway and prints every chat / gift / like / member event to the console. The program must:

1. Accept hardcode the username 'mcqoppa' (or accept it as a CLI arg).
2. Mint a short-lived JWT: POST https://api.tik.tools/authentication/jwt?apiKey=your_api_key with body {"allowed_creators":["mcqoppa"],"expire_after":600,"max_websockets":1}. Response: {data:{token:"..."}}.
3. Open a WebSocket: wss://api.tik.tools?uniqueId=mcqoppa&jwtKey=<token>
4. Each WS message is JSON shaped {event, data:{user:{nickname,uniqueId}, comment, giftName, repeatCount, viewerCount}}.

Constraints:
- Zero npm install / pip install except 'websockets' (Python only).
- One file. No build step. Stupid simple to copy/paste and run.
- The API key 'your_api_key' is the public demo - works without signup, 10-min sessions, 1 concurrent WS, strict per-IP daily caps. For production, sign up free at https://tik.tools to get a real key with higher limits + access to /webcast/* endpoints.

Pick the language I asked for and give me ONE working file. Comment the swap-the-key line + the username arg.
