D082 - A package cannot produce a current-generation title, so native is a second delivery route rather than a second package format

A package cannot produce a current-generation title, so native is a second delivery route rather than a second package format.

The question was whether a package could be made to install as a current-generation title - whether the badge could be changed, or a package could be made to call the install API itself. Neither works, and the reasons are worth recording so this is not re-attempted:

• There is no package format to build. The previous generation's fake-package scene exists because its keyset is public - it is in data/pkg-keys.toml. No equivalent exists for this generation, so there is nothing to sign a native package with.
• A package cannot install itself out of the sandbox. The registration call is sceAppInstUtilAppInstallTitleDir, and the shipping native homebrew reaches it through kernel_dynlib_handle / kernel_dynlib_resolve - kernel read/write primitives. Code inside a compatibility-sandboxed application does not have them, so a package attempting this fails at the resolve, not at the call.
• The route that works needs no package. A payload with kernel privileges writes /user/app/<TITLE_ID>/sce_sys/{param.json,icon0.png} and registers it.

So selfish native and obSCEne's make native lay out that directory, and nothing installs anything - the copy and the call need privileges a build machine does not have.

What this does not buy, stated because it is the tempting misreading. It is a home-screen entry, not a title that runs native code. That would need a signed eboot.bin. The evidence is in the shipping native homebrew itself: it installs a param.json and an icon0.png and no executable, and its param.json carries a deeplinkUri pointing at a server its payload runs. obSCEne's own code already runs outside the compatibility sandbox - as a payload. This target gives that payload somewhere to be launched from.

The NID was confirmed with this project's own tooling: selfish nid sceAppInstUtilAppInstallTitleDir gives Wudg3Xe3heE, which is the identifier the shipping homebrew resolves.
