Unknown Core 0.8.3

Unknown Core 0.8.3

Fixes protection recovery so a module reporting PROTECTION_UNVERIFIED retains its requested settings and existing blocks. Core persists a visible warning and failure record, retries during maintenance, and checks health in dependency order. Explicit OFF and emergency cleanup remain available. Runtime version reporting now follows the installed package.

Verified build

This attached package is byte-for-byte the build tested on one owner-controlled LG C4 running webOS 25. Independent checks verified 19 known LG service executable blocks, including acr2, and 11 detected ALSA capture-node blocks. A live process-read failure caused zero disable calls and left existing blocks intact. Its warning persisted and recovered after a real reboot. Multiple automatic maintenance cycles and eight declared module health checks passed. Backend/browser regression checks and standalone source rebuild checks passed.

Coverage is limited to the known service and detected capture paths. Early boot, proprietary driver paths, app tracking and complete network isolation are not certified covered. Other TV models and firmware are unverified.

Upgrade order

Install/update Core 0.8.3 first, then Privacy Protection 1.1.1 and Microphone Protection 1.1.1. If an older release already quarantined the modules, clear the old recovery state using Disable and restore for Microphone Protection first, then Privacy Protection. Apply the updates, enable Privacy Protection before Microphone Protection, and verify the saved options and health. An unverified warning is not proof of protection.

Requires an already-rooted TV you own, independent recovery access and backups. Review root modules before enabling them. Use the attached IPK, not GitHub's automatic source-code archive. Check SHA256SUMS.txt. Retain MIT attribution and third-party notices.

Unknown Core 0.8.2

Unknown Core 0.8.2

Adds the Updates page for Core and installed modules, reviewed settings-preserving module upgrades, and a detached Core updater with service-readiness verification. Fixes update lock contention and inherited LS2 sockets. Development 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 builds are not published.

Install this IPK using existing owner-controlled root and complete Core's explicit companion setup. Future Core updates can be reviewed in Updates. See README and docs/Updates.md.

Verification and prerequisites

Standalone source rebuilt and matched to the installable payload. Integration coverage is one owner-controlled LG C4 / webOS 25 TV; other models are unverified. Requires an already-rooted TV you own and independent recovery access. No firmware, rooting exploit, LG credentials or private TV data is included. Backups do not guarantee recovery from arbitrary root-code effects or power loss.
