## What is actually patched
**Nothing in TrueNAS's persistent database or configuration is modified.**
The patch operates on two files that live in `/usr/` (which TrueNAS replaces
on every update) and are therefore re-applied automatically on every boot.
On every boot, `patch/apply.sh` runs as a PREINIT script before middlewared
starts. It mounts a writable
[overlayfs](https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/overlayfs.html) over the
relevant directories in `/usr/` (upper layer in `/run` tmpfs), then patches
`b2.py` and `restic.py` inside that overlay. The overlay is volatile — it
exists only for the current boot — but the PREINIT script recreates it
automatically on every subsequent boot. Nothing in `/usr/` is written to
directly.
| Layer | What changes | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| **Backend** | `B2RcloneRemote` gains `get_restic_config()` — skipped automatically if TrueNAS already provides one on the class. `restic.py` URL builder is fixed: strips the stray leading slash and converts the slash separator to a colon (`b2:bucket:path`), which is the format restic 0.16.x expects. URL wrapper is a no-op if the URL is already correctly formed. | Direct file patch in the overlay |
| **UI** | The Angular bundle's `filterByProviders` binding is widened from `["STORJ_IX"]` to `["STORJ_IX","S3","B2"]` | In-place text replacement in the compiled JS chunk; original is backed up |

Both changes are **fail-safe**: if a patch cannot be applied (e.g. TrueNAS
restructured the relevant code), middlewared starts normally with Storj-only
