v3.23.9: the CAP compatibility test suggestion on a failed install

A RAM install that fails at a LOAD step is typically the library-version
gate: the card verifies the CAP's import list when the Import component
completes (JC VM 4.5.2).  The failure hint now says so and points at the
CAP compatibility test (Set all 0.0, then restore the lines one at a time
to find the missing package and version), replacing the old "retry with a
smaller LOAD block" advice, which is a red herring for that gate.

The failure popup gains a one-click "Run the CAP compatibility test"
button: it closes the popup, switches the RAM operation selector to compat
and runs it with the same .cap (the file input still holds it and the probe
list is prefilled with its imports), so the diagnostic is one click away.

An INSTALL [for load] refusal now gets its own advice instead of the LOAD
hint: the card refused to open the load file - usually a duplicate load
file from an earlier run (delete the package first, Explore -> Delete), or
rejected load parameters.

Tests: the hint's wording and branches (LOAD vs INSTALL [for load]), the
button handler's op switch.  862 frontend + 842 Python; sw cache
simple-v422.

The compact listing carries the AID, life cycle and privileges (the legacy format has no version); if a card rejects it (<code class="font-mono text-sm">P2.b2=0</code>, deprecated by GP) the queries are retried in the expanded <code class="font-mono text-sm">E3</code> form, and the <strong>Fetch expanded registry details (load-file / SD associations)</strong> checkbox also requests it as an extra pass and merges the expanded-only fields: the Executable Load File version, Load File AID, Security Domain AID, module lists, the applet STK menu entries (SCP Registry Data, TS 102 226 8.2.1.6) and any other registry data objects the card returns (shown raw, never dropped) &mdash; it costs a few extra secured packets per Explore and is <strong>on by default</strong> (remembered per browser; untick to skip). Cards differ in what they accept, so the expanded query is tried in three forms &mdash; the reference tag list (with the TS 102 226 <code class="font-mono text-sm">EA</code>), the same list without <code class="font-mono text-sm">EA</code>, and no tag list at all (the GlobalPlatformPro form) &mdash; and the explorer reports which form worked and where the run fell back to the compact listing (package versions are then unavailable). When the ELF rows still carry no version, the tag-list forms are retried for both P1=10 and P1=20, skipping the combinations already refused, and the walk stops as soon as a version appears. Results appear in an explorer view (the success line stays minimal; the counts are in the section headings) with per-item <strong>Delete</strong> buttons and the detected RAM command format (hover for what compact vs expanded means).</td></tr>

<tr class="border-b border-gray-200 dark:border-slate-700"><td class="py-1 px-2">CAP compatibility test</td><td class="py-1 px-2">Answers one question without installing anything: <strong>can this card satisfy the CAP's import list?</strong> The server runs the format check, INSTALL[for load] and the LOAD blocks only up to the block that completes the <strong>Import</strong> component &mdash; the point where the JCRE verifies the import list &mdash; then stops: no last-block flag and no INSTALL[for install], so nothing is committed and nothing has to be deleted afterwards. The <strong>Import versions to test</strong> list is pre-filled from the CAP analysis: <code class="font-mono text-sm">AID=version</code> rewrites an import's requested version, <code class="font-mono text-sm">+AID=version</code> appends a synthetic import (a card-capability query: the LOAD passes only if the card exports that package at &ge; that version), and <strong>Set all 0.0</strong> drops every requirement. Two-step use: press Set all 0.0 &mdash; if the test passes, the import list was the blocker; then restore one line at a time to find the package and version the card lacks. The verdict states it covers the <strong>LOAD/import gate only</strong>: the link gate (whether the applet's actual API calls exist) is what a real install checks at INSTALL[for install]. The run and its result appear in a popup (like the install): the step lines, the verdict and a per-AID detail block &mdash; on a rejection it names the CAP section the failing block covers (load-file byte range and components, and whether that block completes <strong>Import</strong>), the remote status word with its meaning, the import list exactly as tested (CAP versions, probe rewrites, appended synthetic entries, unmatched lines) and what the probe state implies; on success it lists the import list that passed.</td></tr>
