Research direction

Reproduce the installation failure using the linked master.zip on LibreELEC 12.2.1 with Kodi 21.3.0, and capture the complete invalid-zip message. Inspect the archive layout and the add-on packaging metadata to identify why Kodi rejects it; done means the archive installs successfully through Kodi on the reported setup.
