- Extracted hardware detection logic from firmware.sh into new modules/hw_detect.sh. Declares shared arrays (PCI_NET_DEVS, USB_WIFI_DEVS, etc) and _detect_all_network_devices() function. The main script now sources hw_detect.sh immediately after utils.sh. firmware.sh retains only _DETECTED_FW_PKGS and _FW_PLAN_PKG_LINES plus installation logic — the detection loop is fully removed, eliminating the circular dependency with bluetooth.sh.
- Fixed interrupt safety in main script: removed pkill -f "apt.*install" and pkill -f "dpkg.*configure" from _on_interrupt(); updated exit message to "Temp files cleaned." Only the signal handler (trap _on_interrupt INT TERM) remains.
- Added strict URL validation to modules/gaming/heroic.sh and modules/gaming/tools.sh using regex ^https://[A-Za-z0-9./_-]+\.deb$ before passing $deb_url to _run_cmd. Blocks command substitution, non-https URLs, and path traversal attempts that could bypass shell quoting.
- Implemented real Bullseye Archive rewrite in modules/bullseye/legacy.sh: adds idempotency check (grep -q archive.debian.org && return 0), creates timestamped backup of /etc/apt/sources.list with sudo cp, writes exact archive Debian sources via sudo tee heredoc, and runs sudo apt-get update || true on failure.
- Added local scope to modules/bluetooth.sh variable service_enable_only=false before the conditional assignment, preventing state bleed from the previous global-only declaration.
- Applied safe array pattern (while IFS= read -r _pkg; do ...) across 32+ files in modules/extras/* and modules/bullseye/legacy.sh, replacing all vulnerable for pkg in $cleaned / for pkg in $install_list loops. Eliminates word-splitting and command-injection risks.
- Fixed command injection in desktop_display.sh by converting word-splitting loops to safe array-based iteration for LightDM/GDM3 configuration and XFCE package installation.
- Added symlink detection guard before repository file operations in repos.sh to prevent TOCTOU attacks during restore_previous_repos().
- Hardened SUDO_USER resolution with awk validation against /etc/passwd to prevent root fallback and ensure real login users are targeted for sudoers configuration.
- Implemented algorithm (lz4/zstd) and size validation before ZRAM configuration writes in zram.sh to reject invalid inputs.
- Protected grep MemTotal read from /proc/meminfo with 2>/dev/null and default assignment under set -u.
- Added || true guards around apt-cache madison pipelines in firmware.sh, kernel.sh, gpu.sh, and utils.sh to prevent pipefail aborts when backports unavailable.
- Wrapped whiptail installation in if/else blocks to allow offline error messages instead of script termination under set -e.
- Fixed grep -c output duplication in swap.sh with proper || true pattern and default variable assignment.
- Replaced unquoted $cleaned loops with array conversion using while read for secure package iteration across gaming, desktop_display, firmware, and kernel modules.
- Anchored sed regex patterns to space-delimited "main" components to prevent mirror URL corruption in sources.list editing.
- Escaped % characters in _msg() function before passing to whiptail to prevent printf format interpretation crashes.
- Consolidated package version helpers into canonical wrappers: _get_pkg_version, _get_installed_version, _get_backports_version for consistent apt/dpkg queries.
- Created _install_if_missing() and _install_pkg() with proper error handling that respects set -e while providing user feedback on installation failures.
- Removed 6 dead code functions (~51 lines): check_system_time, sync_system_time, get_cpu_summary, get_ram_summary, pkg_versions, get_backports_kernel_version.
- Added detect_displayserver and detect_audio_server to refresh_system_state() for complete state refresh when returning from menus.
- Enhanced _on_interrupt() trap handler to kill lingering apt/dpkg child processes and clean /tmp/debianito.* temporary files on Ctrl+C or TERM.
- Improved restore_previous_repos() with manifest-based backup verification (.backed_up_* markers) to prevent destructive repository file deletion.
- Added mktemp usage for secure temporary deb file downloads in nvidia.sh, heroic.sh, and tools.sh to eliminate TOCTOU vulnerabilities in /tmp.
- Fixed Bluetooth USB dongle misclassification as WiFi devices by excluding "bluetooth" strings from USB_WIFI_DEVS detection in firmware.sh.
- Properly utilized the need array for selective package installation in internet.sh instead of hardcoding full package list.
- Corrected fwupdmgr duplicate execution and grep false positives in system.sh with strict pattern matching for available updates.
- update docs and added quickstart guide
