Both scripts now detect and install msitools if missing, supporting
apt-get (Debian/Ubuntu), dnf (Fedora), and pacman (Arch). Falls back
to a clear error if the package manager is not recognised.
Remove msitools from manual prerequisites in the doc.

Both scripts now download and install GE-Proton10-34 if not already present:
- setup-swbf2-linux.sh: installs to ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/
- setup-swbf2-wolf.sh: installs into the WolfSteam container via docker cp + tar
Both pause after install and prompt the user to set GE-Proton in Steam
(Compatibility → Force) before continuing, since that step requires the GUI.
Update docs to reflect GE-Proton is now handled automatically.

- Remove editorial content (EA server speculation, 2005 alternative, opinions)
- Add native Linux Steam section covering all six setup steps
- Add separate key paths tables for Wolf and native
- Add native Linux troubleshooting commands alongside Wolf equivalents
- Rename title to reflect both platforms
- Fresh install table rewritten as factual survival matrix

Long-form document tracing the actual discovery process: the wrong turns,
the aha moments, and the reasoning behind each step. Covers:
- Why EA is involved in a Steam game at all (link2ea:// architecture)
- JunoConfigureRegistry failure and why DISABLEROLLBACK was a dead end
- msiextract bypass as the actual solution
- Why direct system.reg edits don't survive reboots (wineserver ownership)
- The launch wrapper approach for registry persistence
- RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE and EALocalHostSvc
- Wolf-specific bwrap capabilities mismatch
- localconfig.vdf atomic rename problem and chmod 555 fix
Written for sharing — no identifying information, explains the "why"
for each fix so readers can adapt if EA changes their MSI structure.

Documents the EA account requirement, first-time login flow, credential
caching for machine transfers, community server options if EA shuts down,
and the SWBF2 2005 alternative for a launcher-free experience.

Revised approach: skip link2ea:// and EA App account requirement entirely.
Launch starwarsbattlefrontii.exe directly via the wrapper, spoof Origin
registry entries so the game's built-in launcher check passes. Documents
what doesn't work and why (msiexec/bwrap/EA account issues).

Documents the EA App installation workaround for Star Wars Battlefront II
(2017) running under Wolf/WolfSteam with GE-Proton10-34. Covers the bwrap
capability problem, Steam launch wrapper trick, msiextract bypass for the
JunoConfigureRegistry Wine incompatibility, and correct EA Desktop file layout.

- Swaps image from filebrowser/filebrowser to gtstef/filebrowser:stable
- Uses ./data:/home/filebrowser/data volume layout (Quantum convention)
- Generates data/config.yaml instead of settings.json + database.db
- Mounts primary path as /files with defaultEnabled: true
- Deploys fbq-add-source.sh for adding extra directories post-install
- Updates README with Quantum-specific instructions
docs: save standalone bootstrap as docs/standalone-template.sh
Preserves the full standalone pattern from filebrowser.sh as the
reference template for adding standalone support to other services.
