A release downloads straight into the inactive slot through the existing
install path: the signature is checked after 160 bytes, before anything
is written, the hash at the end. Tried on the device against the real
server: a download cut short, a flipped byte in the signature and one in
the image are each refused with the running firmware untouched; the real
v0.10.0 installed, restarted, and confirmed itself on Probation.
A TLS connection to Gitea peaks at about 52 KB of heap whether or not the
certificate is verified. With IRC connected (66 KB free) a check left 3 KB
and a download 836 bytes. A check, list or install a person asks for now
makes IRC step aside (holdForUpdate) and come back after: the lowest free
heap during a full download with IRC connected is 38 KB. The daily check
never interrupts IRC; with IRC up it waits. A TLS connection starts with
80 KB free (it was 55).
Debug Builds get test knobs: update probe <host>, update damage cut|flip,
update pretend <version>.
