Well, the technical decisions I have made are all towards minimal maintenance, no eternal compatibility chasing, yet still being compatible with all but the most broken AppImages shipped on the web.
e.g. Avoiding musl libc; using glibc. (Based on: Void Linux. I like it and it is easy to change.)
So giving up on the IronFox AppImage as-is would mean the project has failed.

Scrolling through endless commits and trying to convince myself GenAI was not used in their production is not fun.
But I'll do it. Eventually.
For now, I just want to get the basics sorted, so I can reboot into this system properly without feeling like I'm missing out.
