The install dashboard shelled out to a full Python interpreter to read
four keys from the installer state JSON — including inside the render
loop, twice a second. jq is already on the ISO and does the same job
with plain bash arithmetic for the phase-weight interpolation.

Pairs with omarchy-pkgs' fold of omarchy-limine into omarchy-settings.
Changes:
- EARLY_BOOTSTRAP_PACKAGES in phases_impl.py drops omarchy-limine.
The limine configs it shipped (mkinitcpio hooks, entry-tool drop-ins,
snapper template, default/limine/, default/snapper/) now come with
omarchy-settings, which is already in the early bootstrap.
- builder/build-iso.sh's offline-mirror seed list and post-mirror filter
no longer reference omarchy-limine.
- builder/build-omarchy-packages.sh's build queue drops omarchy-limine.
- Test manifests (fresh-4.json, fresh-4-semantic.json) no longer expect
omarchy-limine in the installed-packages list. The /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
99-omarchy-limine.hook entry stays — that hook file is generated by the
orchestrator regardless, and the filename is descriptive, not tied to
the package name.
Pairs with omarchy-installer's rename of bin/omarchy-setup-user to
bin/omarchy-finalize-user. The orchestrator now invokes
omarchy-finalize-user --force --first-install in the run_chroot_finalizer
phase, and the phase-ordering docstring is updated to match.
archinstall's add_bootloader creates EFI/arch-limine/{BOOTX64.EFI, BOOTIA32.EFI}, writes a limine.conf with an Arch Linux entry, and registers an efibootmgr label "Arch Linux Limine Bootloader" — only for limine-snapper.sh to delete it all and rebuild with Omarchy branding via limine-mkinitcpio-hook.
Replace the add_bootloader call with _install_limine_omarchy, which does the same work archinstall's _add_limine_bootloader does (UEFI EFI binary copy + efibootmgr register, or BIOS limine-bios.sys + limine bios-install) but with Omarchy-owned paths and labels from the start:
- EFI subdir: EFI/limine (not EFI/arch-limine)
- efibootmgr: label "Limine" (not "Arch Linux Limine Bootloader")
- loader path: \EFI\limine\BOOTX64.EFI
Compute the kernel cmdline directly from disk_config instead of harvesting it from a file archinstall wrote (whose path keeps drifting across versions). Then write /etc/default/limine and /etc/kernel/cmdline, and stage /boot/limine.conf from our styling template — limine-mkinitcpio-hook will add the actual boot entries when it deploys.
Adds limine + efibootmgr to EARLY_PACKAGES (archinstall used to pacstrap these as a side effect of add_bootloader).
Does not modify limine-snapper.sh — its cleanup code will simply no-op because there are no arch-limine paths or "Arch Linux Limine Bootloader" entries to find. That code can be pruned in a follow-up.
archinstall 4.3 writes limine.conf to <target>/<esp_mount>/EFI/arch-limine/
limine.conf for UEFI non-removable installs (lib/installer.py:1487), not
to /mnt/boot/limine.conf as our code assumed. Older archinstall versions
used different paths.
Probe the 4.3 paths (arch-limine, BOOT, limine subdir) and the legacy
/boot/limine.conf in order; pick whichever exists. Error message now
lists everywhere it looked so future drift is easy to diagnose.
configure_protected_boot used to arch-chroot pacman -S limine
efibootmgr, but at that phase the live ISO's offline mirror is not
bind-mounted into the target yet (run_chroot_finalizer does that
later) and the target's pacman.conf points at network mirrors that
aren't reachable during an offline install.
Pacstrap these packages alongside the runtime package list in
arch_install_base, where archinstall is still pacstrapping against
the live ISO's offline mirror. Drop the now-redundant arch-chroot
pacman call from configure_protected_boot.
archinstall 4.3's Installer.__init__ types target as Path and uses it
directly (self.target / 'boot', etc.). Passing str(mountpoint) makes
self.target a str, so every internal path operation raises
'unsupported operand type(s) for /: str and str' — most visibly during
set_mirrors, which constructs target / MIRRORLIST.relative_to_root().
Drop the str() cast; pass the Path through as-is.
