LiveArea NoLimits
livearea_nolimits.suprx is a taiHEN user plugin for the PlayStation Vita retail FW 3.60 and FW 3.65 SceShell, with a separate PTEL/testkit 3.60 profile. It changes the home-screen limits to:
50 pages;
10 top-level icons per page, unchanged from the firmware;
500 top-level icons in total;
1,000 counted application/content icons instead of 500.
The plugin validates every original instruction before applying any injection. It selects a patch profile by the loaded SceShell module NID and verifies its text-segment size and the expected code at every patch site. HENkaku version spoofing can remain enabled: the plugin does not use the system-version API. This protects unsupported firmware versions and already-modified shells from blind writes. Version 1.6.0 is built in Release mode with runtime logging disabled, including when the icon-cache correction is enabled.

Fix the recovery allocator's stack-guard validation so correctly loaded firmware can receive the hidden-application recovery patches.
In v1.4.0/v1.5.0, validation incorrectly expected the guard address inside SceDbRecovery's text segment. The loader resolves it to the imported SceLibKernel __stack_chk_guard variable instead. The old check could therefore silently skip the allocator hook and all seven recovery patches, leaving the native 500-application limit active.
Changes
Compare the full operand with the plugin's own loader-resolved guard import; retain module identity, instruction, register and address validation.
Correct the test fixture's relocation assumption and add rejection tests for altered operands and the old placeholders.
Verify the actual retail firmware import records and the reported 510-visible/one-hidden recovery-planning case.
Retain feature parity for retail 3.60, retail 3.65 and PTEL 3.60, including the complete icon-cache correction.
Build and validation
The published plugin is built in Release mode, optimized with -O2, with runtime logging disabled. Diagnostic file-operation symbols and log strings are absent. Existing log files from older versions are left untouched.
Both Release variants passed fresh sanitizer, firmware-byte, lifecycle/rollback, cache and hook-relocation tests, plus 33,942 native ARM shell checks per variant. Native recovery tests use the supplied database's counts without modifying that database: the stock planner returns -10 and the patched planner returns 1.
Validation limitation: this fixes a confirmed recovery-patch activation defect. The shutdown during database updating reported in issue #2 and successful restoration have not yet been retested on the affected Vita. Offline tests do not establish end-to-end hardware resolution.
Limits remain 500 top-level icons, 50 pages, 10 icons per page and 1,000 counted application/content icons. No database-format change is introduced.
