The build was failing at verify-overlay-integrity.sh with:
ERROR: dangling patch symlink: recipes/core/base/redox.patch -> .../local/patches/base/redox.patch
ERROR: missing critical patch: local/patches/base/redox.patch
The mega-patch (100MB+) was gitignored and got lost, while the
dangling symlink at recipes/core/base/ is leftover infrastructure.
The base recipe (recipes/core/base/recipe.toml) does NOT reference
redox.patch - it uses individual P*.patch files (P0-P9). The mega-patch
was abandoned 2026-04-30 in favor of ~100 individual patches.
Changes:
- Remove dangling recipes/core/base/redox.patch symlink
- Update verify-overlay-integrity.sh to drop obsolete references
(redox.patch in base) and consolidate redbear-live-full into the
current critical configs list
- Remove 'local/patches/base/redox.patch' from .gitignore (it is gone
for good; never resurrect the mega-patch approach)
- Document NEVER-GITIGNORE-CRITICAL-INFRASTRUCTURE policy in AGENTS.md
(replaces the obsolete 'Large Patch Files' section that described
the now-removed chunks/reassembly approach)
- Add Linux reference tree migration note (2.1GB tree should eventually
be tracked via sparse submodule or gitea mirror)
