Third-party dependencies

Everything in this directory is maintained outside OnionHEN. Keeping external code here makes source/ exclusively first-party code.

Path	Form	Role in OnionHEN
7zip_sdk/	Vendored source	LZMA support used by the unpacker
cjson/	Vendored source	JSON parsing and serialization
cheat_support/	Vendored source	AES, base64, miniz and SHA-256 used by cheat parsers
keystone/	Headers + prebuilt archive	ShnExt assembly support
kstuff-lite/	Git submodule (v1.11)	Produces the optional embedded kstuff.elf; packaging prefers the matching GitHub release blob

Third-party file names retain their upstream spelling even when it differs from the project's snake_case convention. This keeps upstream updates easy to review.

Source-built or downloaded fallback dependency blobs are cached in .cache/dependencies/ and ignored by Git. scripts/sync_dependencies.sh stages the required bootstrapper input from that cache; generated blobs do not belong in source/.

Runtime-only external dependency

ps5-payload-dev/elfldr on port 9021 is supplied by the runtime environment for the initial bootstrap.

git submodule update --init --recursive
