2. Workaround sandbox mitigations not taking place on apps' first launch (coolstar)
3. Improve reliability of amfid patch so it doesn't hang on malformed requests (e.g. SysSecInfo)

6. Make rejailbreaking significantly faster

1. Use host special port #4 to get tfp0 in jailbreakd (thanks n_triangle_dev)

1. Fix kernel memory leak in entitlement injector

1. Add a working launchctl for loading launch daemons (thanks nullpixel)
2. Load dropbear as a launch daemon & fix zombie process issue (thanks nullpixel)
3. Set kernel task as host special port #4 (thanks stek29)

1. Fix an issue in the substrate shim where substitute could crash if tweaks tried hooking nonexistent selectors
2. Fix an issue with the dylib loader dragging UIKit (and all its tweaks) into every single daemon
3. Make jailbreakd more robust with input struct size check enforcement

1. Fix a symlink that would prevent some substrate extensions from working with libsubstitute

1. Disable NVRAM patching as it still appears to be unstable
2. Make amfid patch more reliable so that more dylibs can be run properly
3. Add a "shim" so existing substrate tweaks can use libsubstitute without modifications

1. Don't unlock NVRAM variables due to the patch crashing some devices.

1. Unlock all NVRAM variables (including setting boot-nonce) [thanks stek29]
