v3.6.4 — Apple Silicon restore (Asahi installer, then restore over it) verified on an M1 Pro

An Apple Silicon restore is never bare metal: m1n1, U-Boot and the partitions the Mac's firmware boots from are Apple-managed and cannot be backed up or recreated from Linux. The order is: Asahi installer from macOS to get a fresh Fedora Asahi Remix booting, then this backup restored over it. The README status table, the Restore section, the Apple Silicon FAQ, ABOUT and backup-verify.sh section 6 all say so.

That row is ✅: in September 2026 a MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) was reinstalled with the Asahi installer and this suite's backup restored over the fresh install, and it boots — done with an earlier 3.x release; the restore path has not changed since in a way that affects it. A report from an M2 or later, or with the current release, is still welcome.
