All decompress-and-write one-liners now share the same form:
xz -dc ...img.xz | of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync && sync
- sudo removed (operator runs as root on USB stick)
- && sync appended to all image-write commands
- /dev/zero wipe commands unchanged
- build.sh echo updated to match
Smaller downloads that Rufus/balenaEtcher/RPi-Imager still read directly (zstd
would break Windows flashers). Switches the image artifact, flashing commands
(xz -dc | dd, xz -t, unxz), publish flow (xz -T0 -c), the artifact-manifest
script, and all skills + docs to .img.xz. Adds a Windows (Rufus/Etcher) flashing
section + README pointer. Source tarballs (clawdie-ai *.tar.gz) unchanged.
