v0.3.0 - Root Helper Daemon

What's New

• Root helper daemon: Single credential prompt at startup via pkexec, eliminating per-build password prompts
• Graceful fallback: If root helper is unavailable, falls back to per-build pkexec calls
• Improved reliability: Fixed socket permission handling, race conditions, and connection management

Technical Details

• Root helper runs as a background daemon via Unix socket in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
• Handles mount/loop device operations without repeated auth prompts
• Fallback to shell-based pkexec if daemon is not available
• Full batch build support through root helper

Requirements

• mkfs.exfat (for EXFAT format) — install via your package manager
• sudo access (for root helper at startup)
• UFS2Tool (for FFPKG format) — download from SvenGDK/UFS2Tool releases
