The sha256 only proves a download is intact; a compromised host could swap the
tarball + its checksum. Add minisign signatures, which prove authenticity (the host
can't forge them without the offline secret key). Ships INACTIVE behind a REPLACE_ME
placeholder, so installs work until a real key is generated; then it's REQUIRED.
- make_release.sh: signs the tarball when LP_MINISIGN_SECKEY is set -> <tarball>.minisig.
- libreportal.pub: the public key (placeholder), ships in the tarball and is installed
to the ROOT-OWNED footprint (/usr/local/lib/libreportal/libreportal.pub) by init.sh
-> the manager can't swap it to accept forged updates. footprint_version -> 2.
- install.sh: LP_MINISIGN_PUBKEY constant; once non-placeholder, downloads + verifies
the .minisig (minisign -P) and REFUSES on invalid/missing (auto-installs minisign if
needed). --no-verify-signature is a dev-only escape hatch.
- fetch.sh (update path): verifies against the footprint .pub (minisign -p), refuses on
invalid/missing.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: keygen (minisign -G), paste pubkey into libreportal.pub +
install.sh, keep the secret key offline, sign builds via LP_MINISIGN_SECKEY, bump
footprint_version on key rotation.
Verified end-to-end with a real throwaway key: good signature accepted; tampered,
wrong-key, and missing-signature all refused; placeholder skips (sha256 still enforced).

scripts/source/fetch.sh (sourced at runtime via files_source.sh):
- lpFetchRelease [ver]: resolve channel manifest -> download tarball -> VERIFY
sha256 (refuse on mismatch/absence) -> replace the install tree ( is
code-only now; configs/logs live in the separate system tree, so no backup
dance). Host/channel from LP_RELEASE_BASE_URL/CFG_RELEASE_BASE_URL + channel.
- lpFetchSource: dispatch release|git|local.
- lpVersionGt: numeric dotted semver compare (used by the updater + badge).
init.sh initGIT is now release-aware: the bootstrap (install.sh) stages+verifies
the code and sets LP_ALREADY_FETCHED=1 (skip re-fetch); a direct release run sources
fetch.sh; a bare /root reinstall is directed to install.sh. install.sh exports
LP_ALREADY_FETCHED + LP_RELEASE_BASE_URL on hand-off. validateUnattended already
accepts release (git-url is gated on git mode).
Config: CFG_INSTALL_MODE default -> release, + CFG_RELEASE_BASE_URL / CFG_RELEASE_CHANNEL
(add-only reconcile preserves existing installs' git/local mode).
Verified: lpVersionGt across cases; lpFetchRelease downloads+verifies+extracts a
clean tree against a local server. The updater + reset/reinstall release paths are
phase D.

curl -fsSL https://get.libreportal.org/install.sh | sudo bash [-s -- FLAGS]
Self-contained bootstrap (downloaded and run before any LibrePortal code exists):
resolves the channel manifest (<base>/<channel>/latest.json), downloads the
release tarball, VERIFIES the sha256 (manifest or .sha256 sidecar) and refuses on
mismatch, extracts to <system>/install, then hands off to init.sh unattended with
the relocatable flags (--system-dir/--containers-dir/--backups-dir/--manager-user/
--allow-home). curl-or-wget, sha256sum-or-shasum; honours LP_RELEASE_BASE_URL for
testing against a local/file server.
Dev modes preserved: --local=PATH and --git-url= (with --git-user/--git-token).
Generates a random manager/WebUI password if none given. --dry-run stages + verifies
without installing.
Verified against a local http server: dry-run resolves→downloads→verifies→extracts
and reports the correct init.sh handoff; a corrupted tarball is refused. The
end-to-end exec needs init.sh release-mode awareness (phase C) + a throwaway box.
