Oleksandr Shyshatskyi 4415905fb3 Initial commit: USB-installable custom firmware builder for Creator 5
Builds a modified FlashForge update package that the printer installs by
itself from a USB stick, reusing FlashForge's own updater rather than a
parallel one.

Integration is a single file: /usr/prog/PROGRAM/software/firmwareExe is
replaced with a shell script. Everything funnels through that binary, so
app_startup.sh, rcS and the init chain stay completely stock. The genuine
binary is kept as firmwareExe.stock and remains the default UI.

Key findings from the stock firmware, each enforced by a test:
- components named *.tar.xz are PLAIN tar; the installer runs bare `tar -xvf`
- the .tgz is DES3-encrypted plain tar, not gzip
- nothing in init starts Klipper -- firmwareExe runs start.sh, so replacing
  the UI without S70klipper leaves a printer that cannot move
- the installer wipes the software dir before run.sh, so an uninstall package
  must ship the genuine firmwareExe rather than back one up
- ssh already works: stock ships dropbear + an enabled S50dropbear, only the
  root password is missing

Brick-safety is designed in, not bolted on: a five-rung profile ladder
starting with a probe that changes nothing, a container-based simulation that
actually runs the installer and asserts the printer would still boot, an
uninstall round-trip test, and a SAFE-MODE latch for UI crash loops.

75 checks pass. Not yet run on hardware.

# STAGE 0 -- the first thing you should ever flash.

# Changes NOTHING on the printer. It reinstalls the stock software component

# stick, then reboot.
#
# Purpose: prove the whole chain works on YOUR machine -- the filename glob,
# the DES3 key, the md5 gate, run.sh execution -- and learn the real partition
# sizes BEFORE you commit to a package that modifies anything.
#
# Pull the stick afterwards and read anvil-report.txt.
