* Fix repeated SMB scans and add manual package browsing
* Run package installs in fresh helper processes
Launch an embedded helper through elfldr for each install and exchange requests over loopback IPC. Link the helper with the same system service dependencies as pkgmgr so AppInstUtil starts on supported firmware.
* Reduce installer log memory and diagnostic noise
* Test real helper ELF launcher handoff
* Prepare 1.3.0 release documentation
* Add large catalog mode to frontend mock
* Update docs
* Fix dirty build metadata in releases
* Include changelog section in release notes
* Fix base and update batch handoff
* Improve PKG Manager startup diagnostics and scan ordering
* Update development and release ELF names
* bump version to 1.2.3
* Trim PS5 startup imports and add early stdout markers
* Add guided Samba share/folder picker with credential-aware browse APIs
Frontend no longer requires typing share names or paths: the share
modal offers Select share / Browse folder picker dialogs backed by new
POST /api/smb/shares and /api/smb/browse endpoints (IPC$ share enum
plus directory listing in smb_client). Browse requests reuse the stored
password when the form resends it blank, avoiding guest-logon
STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED while editing saved shares.
* Update SMB management and client behavior
* fix frontend browser history navigation
* docs: prepare v1.2.3 release notes
