phantomptrandClaude Fable 5.1 07c8d64211 Auto-redeploy waits for a booting console; README/DISCLAIMER note how the project is built
The unattended helper restore pushed the helper as soon as :9021 answered, which on a
cold boot is before kstuff loads (FW 11.40 report: crash 3/3). It now waits 90 s after
the loader first appears. SPEC.md: fs.write/fs.mkdir ignore mode (both are 0777).

# Disclaimer and Terms of Use
**Please read this before using ps5upload.**
## 1. Research and educational purpose only
ps5upload ("the Software") is provided solely for **research,
educational, interoperability, and homebrew development purposes**. It
is intended for use by developers, security researchers, and hobbyists
studying the architecture and behaviour of console systems they
personally own.
The Software is **not** a commercial product, is **not** affiliated
with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to
Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc., Sony Group Corporation, or any of
their subsidiaries or affiliates. "PlayStation", "PS4", "PS5", and all
related marks are trademarks of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.,
used here only for identification and descriptive purposes under
nominative fair use.
## 2. Modified consoles
The Software is designed to communicate with consoles running
user-supplied code ("jailbroken", "modified", or "homebrew-enabled"
consoles). **You are solely responsible** for the legality of modifying
your device in your jurisdiction, and for obtaining and running any
such modification. The Software does not provide, enable, distribute,
or assist in obtaining any exploit, jailbreak, or method of
circumventing technological protection measures.
## 3. No warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE
LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION
OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
## 4. Assumption of risk
Operating a modified console and running low-level code against it
carries real and material risk. These risks include, without
limitation:
- **permanent, unrecoverable damage to your console** ("bricking");
- **irreversible loss of saved games, screenshots, captures, licences,
and other data**;
- **system instability, crashes, forced restarts, and data corruption**;
- **suspension or permanent ban of your account and/or console** from
online services;
- **voiding of your manufacturer warranty**.
**You use the Software entirely at your own risk and accept full and
sole responsibility for all consequences of doing so.** By using the
Software you acknowledge that you understand these risks and accept
them. If you are not willing to lose your console, your data, and your
account access, do not use the Software.
**Back up anything you cannot afford to lose, before you begin.**
## 5. No piracy
The Software must **not** be used to copy, distribute, download,
install, or run any software, game, or content that you do not lawfully
own or are not lawfully licensed to use. Circumventing copy protection
for the purpose of infringing copyright is illegal in most
jurisdictions.
The authors do not condone, support, or provide assistance with piracy
in any form. Requests for such assistance will be refused. Using the
Software for infringing purposes is a violation of these terms and is
entirely the responsibility of the user who does so.
## 6. Your responsibility
By downloading, building, installing, or using the Software, you
represent and warrant that:
1. you own, or are otherwise fully authorised to modify and operate,
any device you use the Software with;
2. you will comply with all laws, regulations, and contractual terms
applicable to you, including any terms of service you have agreed to
with the device manufacturer or platform operator;
3. you accept sole and complete responsibility for all actions you take
using the Software and for all resulting consequences; and
4. you will not hold the authors, contributors, or distributors of the
Software liable for any loss or damage of any kind.
## 7. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the authors,
contributors, and distributors of the Software from and against any
claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including
reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your
use or misuse of the Software or your violation of these terms.
## 8. Development process
The Software is developed with AI coding tools ("vibe-coded"), directed
and tested by its maintainer. This is a deliberate choice to keep a fast
development cycle and a short turnaround on bug reports, feature
requests and enhancements. It also means the code has not received the
extended, line-by-line human review that a conventionally written
project of comparable size would. Releases are tested on real consoles
before publication, but defects may remain. You accept the Software on
that basis and use it at your own discretion.
## 9. Severability and governing terms
If any provision of this disclaimer is held to be unenforceable or
invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum
extent necessary so that the remainder of this disclaimer remains in
full force and effect.
This disclaimer supplements, and does not replace, the terms of the
GNU General Public License v3.0 under which the Software is
distributed. See [LICENSE](LICENSE). Where this disclaimer and the
licence differ on warranty and liability, the broader exclusion
applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
## 10. If you do not agree
If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, **do not
download, build, install, or use the Software**, and delete any copy in
your possession.
