A kits step after the zip is chosen, laid out as the Manage Kits panel:
installed kits (what the app needs, greyed), installed but not used, kits
available on the computer, not supported; the Action cell offers Keep at /
Upgrade to / Downgrade to / Add at / REMOVE; Upgrade all kits to latest
version. Kits not in the backup can be added, with their dependencies.
The ticked kits make app.sab's schema (encode_sax takes the kit list, as
Ontrol's PutApp rewrites it). When they are not the device's kits, or
Rebuild kits.scode is ticked, kits.scode is built for them with Ontrol's
sedonac from the Niagara install, after checking the natives the kits call
against the device's platform manifest (PutApp.checkNativeCompatibility).
- kit_build.py: platform manifest lookup, native check, sedonac run
- palette.kit_versions: a checksum released more than once stands for its
highest version (ontrolPlatform 1.0.1, not 1.0.0)
- palette.unsupported_kits takes the kit list to judge against
- sab_app: a type from a kit the app does not list is a clear error
Tested on a P-ION: a rebuild for its own kits is byte-identical to the one
it runs; adding and then removing the logic kit both come back running.

Follows Ontrol's Workbench tool (BPutWithFilesTool / PutApp): the backup's
app.sax is encoded for the device's kits and put as app.sab.writing, renamed
to app.sab.stage; the platform service's deleteFile clears fonts/* and
images/*, then images, fonts (from Sedona home's bank, in the device's cut)
and the boot logo go. The zip is checked against the device first: same
platform (Orion, Rion or P-ION, from the platform id), and kits the device
can load. Falls back to the backup's app.sab, with its kits.scode if needed.
- sab_app.encode_sax: .sax -> .sab, ported from Py_sab2sax with Java's value
parsing (fromLiteral, nullbool/nullfloat, Integer.decode); byte-identical
to sedonac on the saved backups
- app_backup.native_image: port of OntOxImageUtil's png -> native .bin
- sox.put_file / rename_file
- Get with Files: Orion's boot logo is system/logo.jpg
- A restart that goes unanswered is taken as the device going down

The save and file-open requests used their own fixed resend intervals
(5 s / 15 s) and the hello asked for 256-byte packets. Ontrol's Sedona
Java stack does neither and works with the P-ION: the standard backoff
(1, 2, 4, 8 s) sends a busy device a few copies with the same seqNum,
which its receive window drops. Both are removed.
Also fixes a race in SendWindow.send(): the packet entered the window
before its payload and sent_time were set, so housekeeping could resend
it with an empty payload, and the device would then drop the real one
as a duplicate.
Tested on a P-ION at 192.168.1.252, App > Get with File: save 3.2 s
(2 resends), app.sab + kits.scode in 11.3 s with 500-byte chunks
(was 14.6 s at 256), device stayed up, files identical to a 256-byte
backup.

A real P-ION (fw 1.32) restarted on every Sox file get. Ontrol's Niagara 4
driver gets app.sab from the same device, so its settings are copied:
- DASP hello asks for 256-byte packets (idealMax/absMax), so file chunks
are 238 bytes
- the message-length header (0x81) goes to Orion only, decided once the
platform id is read
- the app is saved on the device before app.sab is read, the save resent
every 5 s rather than 1 s (a P-ION save takes 2-3+ s)
- the file open is resent every 15 s; DASP gains a per-packet resend
interval for this
Tested on a P-ION at 192.168.1.252: save 3.2 s, app.sab + kits.scode +
app.sax in 15.8 s, no resends, device stayed up. The unsaved-changes
question became a notice, since the app is now always saved first.

Reads app.sab and kits.scode over Sox file transfer, decodes app.sab to
app.sax (byte-identical to sedonac), and on Orion/Rion also fetches the
images and fonts the app names, with their sources from Sedona home's
banks. Offers to save the app on the device first when it is dirty, and
asks where to save with <Sedona home>/store/apps and
app-<device>-<app>-<timestamp>.zip filled in.
DASP trace lines are now printed by their own thread: printing from the
network threads to an unread stdout pipe blocked the receiver and made
file transfers time out.
