# Changelog
## [2.3.0] - 2026-07-24
**✨ New**
- Guided setup wizard, now the default command: *lim* with no *--type* (or
*lim --type guided*) asks everything up front — distribution, target device,
hostname, login user + SSH key, password — then builds an encrypted,
Tor-remote-unlockable image unattended.
- Debian / Raspberry Pi OS remote LUKS unlock. The initramfs unlock stack is
now distro-agnostic behind an *InitramfsBackend* abstraction: *mkinitcpio*
for Arch/Manjaro, *initramfs-tools* (cryptsetup-initramfs + dropbear-initramfs
+ a Tor onion) for Raspberry Pi OS / moode / RetroPie.
- Flash full disk images into LUKS. Distributions that ship a *.img* rather
than a rootfs tarball (Raspberry Pi OS, moode, RetroPie, Manjaro ARM) are
loop-mounted and their boot + root partitions copied into a fresh LUKS
container. New Raspberry Pi OS catalog (*lite64* / *desktop64* / *lite32*).
- New *remote-unlock* command: reach a waiting initramfs over Tor (onion, via
*torsocks*) or plain SSH (host/IP), running *cryptroot-unlock* or presenting
the passphrase prompt. The wizard saves a target record under
*~/.config/lim/unlocks* so *lim --type remote-unlock* offers it directly.
- Cross-architecture builds. Building a foreign-arch image (e.g. arm64
Raspberry Pi OS on an x86 host) auto-installs *qemu-user-static* and registers
binfmt, or aborts before the target is erased with per-distro instructions.
- RTC-less clock hardening. A clock floor (build epoch baked into the initramfs)
plus a numeric *tor_ntp=* cmdline let the clock sync without DNS, so the Tor
onion still publishes on boards without a real-time clock (which boot at 1970).
- Numbered selection menus for distribution and version prompts; typing the
name still works.
- CI: a full Debian *build → boot → LUKS-unlock* QEMU end-to-end job runs on
push (*make test-qemu-debian*).
**🐛 Fixes**
- Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm boots the encrypted image: the initramfs is placed on
the */boot/firmware* FAT partition instead of the ext4 root, so cryptsetup is
present at boot (no more *(initramfs)* emergency shell).
- Chroot package installs are robust cross-host: a Debian-safe *PATH* (so
*update-initramfs* / *useradd* resolve) and *apt-get update* before install
(stock images ship stale lists whose superseded *.deb* URLs 404).
- Stock-image *fstab* is normalized (the existing */* line is replaced, not
duplicated) when copying a distro image into LUKS.
- Large copies show progress (*rsync --info=progress2*, *cp* fallback).
**💥 Breaking / behavior**
- *lim* with no *--type* now runs the guided wizard (previously *--type* was
required).
- The long-deprecated *--extra* argument is removed.
## [2.2.0] - 2026-07-21
- Optional remote LUKS unlock via a Tor onion service in the initramfs.
