Installer (Setup PKG, `ORPC00001`)

Status: design + code exist in installer/, but no PKG ships with test builds — testers install the .elf directly (see repo README). The PKG arrives with the official release and will also set up autorun and the nanoDNS exception.

What it does

One linear flow, forward-only (every No skips ahead, nothing loops back): confirm → evict old daemon (via sceKernelLoadStartModule) → copy evict.elf + orbisrpc.bin to /data/payloads/ (mkdir -p + byte-count + FNV hash read-back) → pre-saved config with token (skips entry when valid) → done. Read-only status screen available via decline.

There is no WiFi check. The installer runs sandboxed, so its socket probe measures the app's network stack, not the payload's — and a FAILED line reads like a verdict on Discord itself. The daemon reports real reachability in its own log once started.

The installer never boots anything directly. Starting the daemon is the /data/payloads/ directory — pick evict.elf first (removes old orbisrpc instance), then pick orbisrpc.bin. No loopback ports, no injection, no boot proof to go wrong.

Install flow

confirm → sceKernelLoadStartModule(evict.elf) — kills old daemon
        → copy evict.elf to /data/payloads/evict.elf
        → copy orbisrpc.bin to /data/payloads/orbisrpc.bin
        → save config.json with Discord token (pre-populated)
        → (token entry skipped if already valid)
        → done

The evict.elf is launched via sceKernelLoadStartModule during install — it reads daemon.lock, kills the running daemon, exits. evict.elf stays in /data/payloads/ for future manual use.

No branch ever returns to start. Cancel/skip always moves forward. The only exits are Done, explicit close, or a payload write failure.

Buttons: X = enter, O = back. The confirm dialog uses YESNO focused on Yes — the OpenOrbis default YESNO_FOCUS_NO puts the console's confirm button on No, which inverts the whole wizard.

Console facts encoded

Splash is hidden first thing in main() so module loading in ui_init() happens with the splash already gone — no visible delay between splash hide and first dialog.
Dialog/IME/IME-backend sysmodules + internal SYSTEM/USER/COMMON/PAD modules load before use (order matters — sceCommonDialogInitialize() precedes external module loads; PAD is unloaded on exit).
stat()/fstat() lie about sizes inside the sandbox (observed 4096/4160 for a 2071552-byte file), so install proof is byte count + FNV hash on read-back, and status uses open-existence, never stat.
Config writes are atomic (tmp+fsync+rename) with read-back proof.
IME wait is bounded; asset key charset validated (bad keys blank the activity).
evict.elf is loaded via sceKernelLoadStartModule because kill() is blocked by the sandbox (EPERM).

Auto-start

GoldHEN AutoRun: enable it for orbisrpc once and the daemon starts on every jailbreak. The queue is menu-managed; the installer shows where, it can't write the queue itself.

Building

make -f installer/Makefile (OO_PS4_TOOLCHAIN, llvmshim). Staged assets: daemon.elf, evict.elf, config.json. The PKG ships all three — the installer copies both payloads, launches evict.elf to kill the old daemon, and pre-saves the config token. Output: IV0000-ORPC00001_00-ORBISRPCSETUP000.pkg.
