Developer installation

Putting a NebulaOS build onto real hardware is documented in NebulaOS-firmware, not here — see Developer Install From Stock for the full walkthrough.

Short version: build (or grab the nightly) → transfer the artifacts to the printer → check their hashes against build-manifest.txtflash-spare-slot.sh --check-only → real flash (always targets the spare slot, refuses if that's the one you're running from) → flip the boot marker → reboot.

You'll need root/SSH on the printer's stock firmware already — that part's out of scope for this project, same as every other Creality K1/KE mod.

One honest caveat: every install we've tested started from a slot that already had something on it. We haven't specifically verified a printer whose custom slot has literally never been written — no reason to expect different behavior, but it's the one case we haven't directly confirmed.
