- **Node.js upgrade:** 20 LTS → 22 LTS
- **Electron upgrade:** v39/41 → v42.x
**Previous (v1.0.0):**
- **Upgrade fix:** file extraction now correctly verifies written files on Ubuntu 22.04+ systems where the kiosk home directory has restrictive permissions (750)
- **Install fix:** sudo credentials primed upfront before the long apt install step, preventing cache expiry at the timezone prompt
- **Timezone fix:** fallback to direct `/etc/localtime` symlink when `timedatectl` fails via D-Bus
