+## Archive module or extra-data
+
+A stack can be consumed either way, and the choice decides where the bytes live:
+
+- **`type: archive` build module** (`ayatana-stack`, `mpv-stack`, `libxdo`,
+  `opencv-imgproc`, `openssl-1.1-compat`, `wemeet-screenshare-hook`) — the tree is
+  copied into `/app` at build time, so it becomes part of the app's OSTree commit
+  and is stored in FlatPark's own repository. Content-addressed storage means a
+  stack shared by many apps is held once; `ayatana-stack` is one object set for
+  thirteen apps.
+- **`type: extra-data`** (`krb5-gss`) — the archive is downloaded from this
+  repository's release at install time and unpacked by the app's `apply_extra`
+  into `/app/extra/<stack>/`. FlatPark's repository holds nothing, and the
+  bandwidth is GitHub's. The consuming wrapper must put `/app/extra/<stack>/lib`
+  on `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, since that path is not on the loader's default search
+  path. Worth it for a large stack with a single consumer, where content
+  addressing has nothing to deduplicate.

+# MIT krb5, prebuilt as a runtime-only GSSAPI shim for FlatPark apps.
+#
+# Why this exists: some payloads bundle their own Qt, and a Qt built with the
+# GSSAPI feature enabled records a hard DT_NEEDED on libgssapi_krb5.so.2 in
+# libQt6Network. org.freedesktop.Platform//25.08 ships no krb5 at all — not the
+# GSSAPI library, not its dependencies — so the loader fails on libQt6Network
+# and the app never draws a window. The dependency is satisfied at load time
+# whether or not anything ever performs Kerberos authentication.
+# First consumer: com.interactivebrokers.ibkrdesktop (bundled Qt 6.8.3).
+#
+# Scope is deliberately runtime-only, and narrower than that: only the load-time
+# closure of libgssapi_krb5.so.2 is shipped —
+#
+#   libgssapi_krb5.so.2
+#    ├─ libkrb5.so.3
+#    ├─ libk5crypto.so.3
+#    ├─ libcom_err.so.3
+#    └─ libkrb5support.so.0
+#
+# and nothing else. A full `make install` also lays down the KDC and kadmin
+# side (libkdb5, libkadm5srv, libkadm5clnt, libgssrpc, libkrad, libverto), the
+# plugin tree under lib/krb5 (KDC database backends, preauth mechanisms), plus
+# headers, man pages, pkg-config files and translations — none of which a
+# client-side GSSAPI consumer ever opens. Dropping them takes the stack from
+# ~13 MB to ~6.5 MB.
+#
+# This stack is meant to be consumed as extra-data, not as a build-time archive
+# module: the archive then travels over GitHub's bandwidth at install time and
+# never enters FlatPark's own OSTree repository. The tarball carries a bare
+# lib/ so it unpacks under the app's private /app/extra/<stack>/ directory; put
+# that lib/ LAST on the app's LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so the libraries are reachable by
+# soname lookup without shadowing anything else in the sandbox.
