A manager-run 'update apply' refreshes code/apps/WebUI but CANNOT rewrite the
root-owned footprint (helpers/wrapper/uninstall/unit/sudoers) — that immutability
is the de-sudo boundary. Previously a release that changed those would silently
leave them stale. Make it explicit:
- init.sh: footprint_version=1 constant, baked at install into
/usr/local/lib/libreportal/.footprint_version (root:root 0644) by initRootHelpers.
Bump it whenever a root component changes.
- make_release.sh: publishes footprint_version in latest.json.
- fetch.sh: lpInstalledFootprintVersion (marker) + lpReleaseLatestFootprint (manifest).
- check_update.sh: 'update apply' REFUSES when the release's footprint_version
exceeds the installed one, directing to a root re-install (which fetches +
re-bakes everything atomically). No half-applied updates.
- webui_system_update.sh: badge sets footprint_update_needed + clears can_update so
the WebUI won't offer a one-click apply for a footprint-bumping release.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: the bump rule + the footprint exception explained.
Verified: manifest carries footprint_version; drift decision correct both ways
(no marker/older -> needs re-install; equal -> no drift).

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.
