v1.7.117 broke Reticulum mesh on OTA-only fleet nodes two ways: the update swaps only the backend binary and frontend tarball, so nodes kept a stale archy-reticulum-daemon whose argparse exits on the new --enable-transport flag (mesh session died on every spawn — confirmed on framework-pt), and they never had archy-rnodeconf at all, so the in-app Flash LoRa flow failed with a bare "No such file or directory". Four-part fix: - The Rust supervisor probes `daemon --help` and only passes --enable-transport when the daemon advertises it; unsupported daemons run edge-only exactly as pre-1.7.117 (tested against stub daemons both ways + missing-binary fail-safe). - Both PyInstaller tools ride the frontend tarball's runtime payload (radio-tools/) and bootstrap.rs promotes them to /usr/local/bin on startup when bytes differ — the first OTA path that ever updates them. create-release.sh now rebuilds them every release and the manifest script hard-fails if they're missing. - The ISO bundles archy-rnodeconf alongside the daemon (it never did). - Flash LoRa reports "tool not installed — update the node" instead of the bare spawn error when rnodeconf is absent everywhere.

Archived ISO build recipes
These scripts built the Archipelago auto-installer ISO (bundled and
unbundled variants). As of v1.7.43-alpha, ISOs are no longer part of the
release deliverable. Releases ship as tarballs consumed by
scripts/self-update.sh on existing nodes.
Archived here rather than deleted so they can be resurrected if ISO distribution is reintroduced.

Why archived
The release flow is simpler and faster as tarball-only:
releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago(backend binary)releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago-frontend-X.Y.Z-alpha.tar.gz(frontend + AIUI + filebrowser UI assets)releases/manifest.json(pointers + changelog)
Nodes pull these via scripts/self-update.sh from either Gitea mirror.
Filebrowser and AIUI remain bundled inside the frontend tarball and deployed
atomically by self-update.sh.
