erase dtbo + flash userdata + RAM-boot + dd boot_a from Linux + verify
modem NV and report honestly. Shipped in dist/ with every release; README
points at it. The one believed-safe-but-unisolated step (userdata flash)
is self-verified by the script's final check.

Proven 2026-08-09: RAM-booting writes nothing (modemst byte-identical
after), so a fresh install that dd's boot_a and userdata from the booted
Linux never triggers the ABL's boot-flash NV wipe. Classic flash flow
documented as the wiping alternative. Details in journal/modem.

Isolated by experiment (2026-08-09, journal/modem): flash boot alone
zeroes modem NV; erase dtbo and idle fastboot visits are safe; on-device
boot-deploy (incl. apk kernel upgrades) never trips it. Likely ABL
anti-tamper on boot-image overwrite under an unlocked bootloader.

Two device-critical pieces previously applied only by the dev restore
script: masked sleep targets (idle-suspend resets the WCN combo firmware
and kills wifi ~40min - a device defect, not personalization) and imsd
enabled at boot, gated on /etc/imsd.env existing so unconfigured systems
don't boot a failing unit. A stranger now needs exactly: flash, wifi via
UI, write imsd.env, restart imsd.

libqmi: the upstream-merged (!470, in no release yet) LOC Register Events
client-identification TLVs, taken verbatim from upstream main (532de37e).
modemmanager: the AFW engine unlock + Position Report derivation (!1463,
still draft upstream, review-hardened and verified on device). Both as
patches on Alpine's git-snapshot aports, pkgrel=100.

imsd turns out to be fully public already (0.2.7 snapshot + emergency
stage 1 + the make build path) - no tag needed, same git-archive dance as
the kernel. callaudioshim was a load-bearing unpackaged home-dir script on
the phone (callaudiod replacement, working in-call mic mute); now an aport
autostarted at phase 1. kde-telephony's modem daemon autostart is hidden
via /etc/skel from the imsd package, mirroring the phone's user override.

Files copied byte-identical from the tested dev phone; installed to the
exact deployed paths (the spaced tplg/UCM filenames come from the machine
driver's card name). Wired into the image via extra_packages.

Learned from the pmbootstrap 3.11 source: aports overlays must replace
upstream dirs in one tree (duplicate pkgnames are a hard error), pmbootstrap
refuses root (drop to a sudo-capable build user), and export symlinks are
boot.img + fairphone-fp6.img. Stage 1 builds without imsd until the v0.3.0
tag exists. Temporary push trigger for bring-up.

Kernel aport forked from pmaports 7.1.2-r0, repointed at milos-linux
combined-stable with the tested FP6 config (+EFI_ZBOOT for packaging);
imsd + nftables aports from the pending pmaports submission. build.sh
carries TODO(validate) markers - not yet run end-to-end.
