SDK and dependency build sources: https://github.com/ps5-payload-dev/pacbrew-repo
The upstream build uses an unpinned SDK. Byte-for-byte rebuilding is not established.

Botty changes only installation, configuration and launch orchestration. Neither
engine fixes nor firmware compatibility changes are included. The known 4.0.6
HTTP tracker announce bug remains; upstream 4.1.0 fixes it.

The temporary websrv helper listens on LAN port 8080 without authentication
while starting the daemon, then is terminated. Use a trusted LAN. The helper
may register the upstream Homebrew Launcher icon; it is not removed by Botty.
If cleanup fails, the portal reports failure and asks for a PS5 restart.
Transmission on port 9091 requires the locally generated password and permits
localhost and 192.168.x.x clients. HTTP does not encrypt LAN credentials.
Secrets are saved only under /data/botty/transmission/state on the console,
with mode 0600 in directories created with mode 0700. No secrets are sent to
the VPS or stored in browser localStorage. Other root-capable console services
(such as FTP or Prospero) may still read console files.

Downloads: /data/botty/downloads/incomplete -> /data/botty/downloads/complete.
Existing torrent/resume state is preserved. Completed files are not automatically
moved into ShadowMount's library; use a console file manager after completion.
Do not remove/move files still being seeded unless updating Transmission's location.

Not hardware-validated on firmware 13.00. Sustained 70 GB downloads, crash recovery,
rest mode, playing games concurrently and memory/throughput limits remain untested.
Keep the console awake. Use Stop safely before shutdown. Check free storage in the
web interface before large downloads. This preview is not a production guarantee.
