On clean PS5 systems with no prior apps or games installed, /user/app does not exist yet, causing direct mkdir() on /user/app/<title_id> to fail with ENOENT (errno: 2).
Use recursive mkdir_p to create the required directory tree (/user/app/<title_id>/sce_sys).

- Included i18n keys for the new settings labels
This addresses the issue where dashboard payloads lacked icons.
Instead of passing the icon through the C backend's payload list, this leverages the existing `RepositoryContext` remote catalog.
- Wrapped the root `App` in `RepositoryProvider` inside `main.jsx`.
- Added `filenameMap` to `RepositoryContext` to build a fast O(1) lookup map of all payload metadata across sources.
- Injected the map data directly into Dashboard `PayloadButton` cards.
This addresses the top two critical issues identified in ISSUES.md.
Backend C Fixes:
- Added `skip_top_level_wrapper()` and `find_next_object_start()` to `repository.c` to correctly parse payloads even when wrapped in a top-level JSON object or containing stringified braces.
- Updated `repository_check_self_update` and `repository_check_repo_update` to return full version, filename, and source metadata required by the frontend.
Frontend React Fixes:
- Updated the `App.jsx` update banner to properly consume the API contract.
- Added a functional `handleApplyUpdate` to load the downloaded self-update elf.
- Added a functional `handleInstallUpdate` to trigger repository installation when a new version is available.
- Removed heavy CSS shadows from payload icons for smoother scrolling
- Implemented dual-element approach for payload name marquee animations
- Re-labeled manage view to 'Remove Payload' when active
This commit completely redesigns how users browse, view, and install payloads.
Backend C Changes:
- Updated C structures to support multiple concurrent payload sources (config.h, repository.h).
- Modified repository.c and config.c to parse and retain multi-source JSON payloads.
- Allowed the HTTP server to serve the dynamically merged JSON sources.
Frontend React Changes:
- Converted StorageHub.jsx into a grid-based "App Shop" catalog layout.
- Replaced the modal payload view with a seamless full-page PayloadDetailPanel.jsx component for extended markdown reading and details.
- Added RepositoryContext.jsx to unify repository fetching across views.
- Styled payload cards with a dynamic marquee animation for overflowing text names (PayloadName.jsx).
- Allowed external icons, with a fallback placeholder for payloads without one.
- Polished padding, margins, and transition effects for spatial controller navigation.
- Removed duplicate versioning strings in payload titles and tweaked dashboard header text.
Introduces a visual indicator to help track payloads launched during the current session.
Backend:
- Create history_mgr.c to track the last 20 launched payload paths
- Log payloads in ps5_launcher.c upon successful launch
- Add /history_list API endpoint to expose the launch history
- Update Makefile
Frontend:
- Fetch and poll /history_list in App.jsx to maintain launch history state
- Add isLaunched prop to PayloadButton.jsx to render a checkmark indicator
Closes#44
- Update `frontend/src/locales` submodule to pull in the latest translations from Crowdin
- Add translators for newly supported languages: German, Persian, and Ukrainian to README
- Fix Crowdin badge URLs for Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Russian which shifted after adding Persian
The app will now automatically detect and use the user's browser language on first load. We can safely do this since only high-quality languages (70%+ translated) are enabled anyway.
Introduces a complete localization system using i18next, enabling the application to be translated into multiple languages by the community via Crowdin.
Key additions:
- Core i18next integration with English as the default base language.
- A language selector in the Settings menu for users to easily switch languages.
- Full UI localization, including support for complex grammar rules (e.g., dynamic pluralization) and responsive text layouts.
- A dedicated `locales` git submodule to seamlessly sync community-driven translations.
- Automatic filtering of incomplete languages (under 70% translated) to ensure a high-quality user experience.
Note:
This implementation currently applies exclusively to the frontend web UI. Native PS5 system notifications (triggered by the backend C code) remain in English and are not yet covered by this localization system.
When a repository payload explicitly defines a version, use it instead of trying to guess the version out of the filename.

Sets applicationCategoryType to 65536 so the app appears in the Media tab rather than the Games tab on the PS5 home screen.

After suspend/resume, the listening socket becomes stale but the
watchdog only checked for IP changes — if WiFi was already off,
no restart happened and 127.0.0.1:8084 became unreachable.
Force a full MHD stop/start on SIGCONT and also when network is
lost, so loopback access always works.
- Added a dropdown to sort repository payloads by Category (default), Update Time, or Name
- Sorting by Update Time or Name automatically flattens the list (disables category grouping)
- Sort preference is persisted across sessions via `localStorage`
Resolves#47
- Added a search input to the repository view that filters payloads by name, filename, and description
- Searching automatically un-collapses all sources
- Searching automatically disables category grouping to show a flat list of matching results
- Increased MAX_SOURCES to 50 and refactored SourceEntry allocations to the heap
- Added `category` field to payload schema (defaults to "Uncategorized")
- Updated repository UI to group payloads into collapsible category sections
- Auto-expand categories if 10 or fewer payloads are available
- Updated CUSTOM_REPOSITORIES.md
Resolves#30
Fixes#42
If github.com (Sectigo ECC) or its redirects cause mbedTLS to fail
verification due to cross-signed certificate chains or unsupported
ECC curves in the PS5 SDK, curl will now catch CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION
and automatically retry the download without SSL verification.
This is completely safe because repository.c securely verifies the
SHA256 checksum of the downloaded ELF against the trusted payloads.json
metadata before installing it.
Older versions of curl using the mbedTLS backend require the PEM buffer
passed via CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB to be explicitly NUL-terminated, with the
length field including the NUL byte. Since the auto-generated
assets_cacert_pem array lacked this terminator, mbedTLS would read past
the buffer bounds, causing sporadic 'SSL peer certificate or SSH remote
key was not OK' errors depending on the memory layout.
This commit dynamically allocates a slightly larger buffer to append the
missing NUL terminator before passing it to curl, ensuring deterministic
certificate parsing across all environments.
Also bumped version to 0.3.2.
Updates the USB import flow to provide explicit buttons for 'Copy to Internal' and 'Move to Internal'. The backend route now accepts a keep_original flag to optionally skip removing the source file.
The `payload_mgr_usb_move` function was only copying the file and leaving the original on the USB drive, despite returning a 'Moved successfully' message. It now correctly deletes the source file to complete the move operation.
The big refactor in 2189ee9 accidentally removed the max_depth constraint on the recursive scanner. This caused SCAN_USB_PAYLOADS to exhaustively scan the entire drive rather than just the root folder, resulting in infinite loading states on the dashboard.
During the recent storage refactoring, `payload_mgr_check_existing` was updated to return a simplified `{"exists": true}` structure. However, the frontend (`App.jsx`) still relied on the `file_exists` and `folder_exists` boolean flags to display the overwrite confirmation modal when a duplicate payload is uploaded. Because those fields were missing, the frontend silently fell through and overwrote the files without asking.
This change restores the original JSON output format for the `/manage:check` endpoint (`file_exists`, `folder_exists`, and `folder_name`), ensuring the overwrite prompt appears again when an uploaded ELF already exists.
The sidebar's expanded/collapsed state is now saved in `localStorage`. This ensures that if the user collapses the sidebar, it stays collapsed after reloading the page or returning to the app later.
Implemented via a `useState` lazy initializer and `useEffect` hook in `App.jsx`.
