Hi everyone.

Firstly: Thanks for this wonderful (!) piece of art and wizardry.
Being an old rock in the OSS-world myself, I am grateful for a sensible prompt on the iPad.

Now to the issue: iPad Pro 12.9, 5th Gen, iOS 18.2.1

I have apparently introduced a typo into my .bash_profile or .bashrc.

Startup shows the echo from the bashrc and immediately closes down again.

Sadly, I found not the slightest pointer to anything resembling a fail-safe mode or override for the boot process.

ALL attempts to somehow access the dot-files failed and after one of the startup-attempts something went south and now the FileProvider hogs the CPU and gets terminated (Log attached)...

I fear most that there might be an FS-issue due to the repeated crashes, however I can access ONE directory in iSH from "Recent Files" ... but sadly, that's not /root ... So it appears as if the FileProvider folds in / or ~ ...

What I'd hope for is:

a) a method to preserve the FS (installed a "few things" have some data in there, too, and obviously neither want to recompile the whole toolchain for rebuild nor lose the data)

b) a method to select a user or allow a drop to shell from init (basically that would be sufficient, as sh/busybox would be there

While I will make a backup and try to extract the data from there, the programs, etc. can't be transferred by these means with reasonable time/effort.

So ... "HELP!"

Update:
Accessing the ISH-Folders via Shortcut or from the filehistory in Apps works. Access only fails in the root (/) when tapping the iSH-FileProvider in the iOS Files-App.

Q: How can I manually create, duplicate, and/or edit a shortcut?
