Readiness review found ten defects. Two would have had a reader run the wrong program, and one would have had them install a .deb over a live app. Install ordering was reversed. The page said "run it, then quit and reopen Orca"; the ref this is gated to land with says the opposite in four places (linux-package-downloaded-status.ts LINUX_PACKAGE_MANUAL_INSTALL_MESSAGE, "Quit Orca before running the system package install command", plus the recovery card's title, summary and explainer). That wording came from main's older run-then-quit card, which the stack deliberately reversed when it retitled the card to "Manual Install Required". Now: quit first. CLI verification put the Linux caveat *below* `command -v orca`. That check succeeds on any GNOME desktop and resolves to the screen reader, so the reader got a confident hit from the page's own verification step and then invoked the wrong program. Caveat moved above, and the block now spells `orca-ide` literally instead of asking the reader to substitute. The serve bootstrap was circular: the bare-`orca` dispatcher is written *during* serve startup (main-process-runtime-launch.ts), so it can never be the command that starts serve. First launch is `orca-ide serve`. Fixed here and in the two pages this links to. Accuracy: the install command now matches what the code emits -- absolute paths resolved from the trusted directories and a POSIX-single-quoted package path, as pinned by linux-package-install-command.test.ts -- and names the manager fallbacks (dpkg; zypper/dnf/yum/rpm) rather than presenting apt as the only form. The pending path honours XDG_CACHE_HOME. rpm arch tokens are x86_64 and aarch64, not deb's amd64/arm64. arm64 AppImage is linked. Dropped the container example: isExternallyManagedLinuxInstall() needs a root marker AND no trusted package manager, and a Debian-based container has apt, so it is not flagged.
