13- **Fallback initramfs warning**: `configureMkinitcpio` now checks for `initramfs-<kernel>-fallback.img` after `mkinitcpio -P` and emits a structured warning if absent, surfacing the root cause of `limine-snapper-notify` failures on first boot

15
16### Removed
17- **archup-cli post-boot install**: Removed `archup-cli.sh` and its invocation from `all.sh`; the post-boot model is barebone or Dank Linux only
