Add `lpRegen` (scripts/webui/webui_regen.sh) — one entry point that rebuilds the
file-derived artifacts whose sources changed, so callers don't have to know which
generator owns what. Self-heal is a cheap `find -newer` mtime compare (no watcher
/ daemon): a stage runs only when a source is newer than its artifact, or --force.
- `libreportal regen [all|webui|arrays] [--force]` CLI command (new category).
- Task processor idle tick runs a throttled `regen webui` poll, so an app dropped
in out-of-band (drag-drop / marketplace) appears on its own — no manual command,
no inotify (works on the relocatable/external-drive roots where inotify can't).
- make_release.sh guards against shipping stale source arrays (regenerate; abort
if the committed tree was out of date), killing the "forgot generate_arrays" bug
class at the build boundary.
- Document the front door in DEVELOPMENT.md.
webui scope rebuilds from containers/<app>/{*.config,tools/*.tools.json}; arrays
scope from scripts/** (a dev/build concern — a no-op on a normal install). Gate
logic verified in a sandbox (clean/config-newer/tools-newer/force/missing).

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).

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/release/make_release.sh builds a versioned, checksum-verified release
artifact from the committed tree via 'git archive' — the basis for installing
LibrePortal without git/auth. Output lands in dist/<channel>/ laid out as the
hosting will serve it (libreportal-<ver>.tar.gz + .sha256 + latest.json), so it
can be served locally for testing via LP_RELEASE_BASE_URL.
.gitattributes marks dev-only trees export-ignore (scripts/unused, scripts/release,
site, .claude, CONTRIBUTING.md, the git meta files) so they never ship; validated
the archive includes init.sh/start.sh/scripts/configs/containers/VERSION and
excludes all of the above. dist/ gitignored.
