Minimal Home for LG webOS

Minimal Home v1.7.0

This release makes installation a single command: pass the TV address directly, get an automatic prerequisite check, and install on Windows without looking up shell paths. The README install section is trimmed to one path, with details kept in the installation guide.

Changes

• sh tools/install.sh mytv is now the whole install: the TV address can be passed as the first argument (it overrides TV_HOST), an interactive shell asks for it when neither is given, and a normal run repeats the read-only prerequisite check before changing anything, so a separate --check invocation is optional.
• New tools/install.cmd wrapper for Windows: tools\install.cmd mytv from the repository root finds Git Bash or WSL and forwards to the installer. The wrapper ships in release archives.
• README Get started collapses the competing IPK-only and full-install sections into one command plus pointers; desktop preview, contributor setup, and on-TV config editing are shortened to links to their guides.
• Installer regressions cover the positional host (including override and duplicate rejection), fast failure without a host in non-interactive use, and preflight-before-upload ordering.

Validation

Repository checks pass on this release commit: generated-output freshness, ESLint, Prettier, Python/JavaScript syntax, JSON/link checks, sh -n shell syntax, Python and JavaScript regression suites (including the new installer argument and preflight tests), per-file JavaScript coverage gates (100% lines/statements/functions, 85%+ branches), diff whitespace, and local deterministic packaging (python tools/package.py --tag v1.7.0).

On-device validation: the read-only prerequisite check with the new positional-host form was run against an LG TV over root SSH and passed. A full on-device install of the v1.7.0 installer flow (positional host, automatic preflight, deploy, elevation, launch) was not performed; the deploy path itself is unchanged apart from the added preflight. Linux ShellCheck and the hosted CI matrix run on tag push via the release workflow.

Updating

Use the attached org.minimal.home_1.7.0_all.ipk (plus checksum) for a direct install with webOS Dev Manager or ares-install, or the attached minimal-home-v1.7.0.tar.gz (plus checksum) with sh tools/install.sh mytv for the complete flow including the watcher hook, permission elevation, state preservation, and launch. The installer preserves installed configuration, preferences, usage history, and icons, and applies new schema defaults with the release version automatically. This does not install root access itself; it targets an already rooted TV. See installation and recovery.
