Changes

• Machines we've already solved build right the first time. When your board and CPU match a machine whose own boots showed what it needs, 1401 builds with those settings straight away instead of waiting for a failed start and a rebuild. The list grows as people report what works.
• "Format-Volume: Invalid property" / "format.com: Required parameter missing" fixed. When Windows had not given the new stick a drive letter yet, 1401 read Windows' empty-letter marker as a letter and formatted nothing. It now waits for a real letter.
• "FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2]" at the erase step fixed. 1401 now starts Windows' own PowerShell and diskpart by their full path, so a PC with a changed PATH still writes.
• Sticks that refuse direct writes ("Windows error 5") are erased with Windows' own diskpart instead of stopping.
• Apple's recovery server answering 502 or timing out is retried longer before giving up.
• Everything from 1.7, 1.6, 1.5, 1.4 and 1.3 still applies.

Keep the whole 1401 folder together and run 1401.exe.
