Description
The basic idea is that your phone could send an HTTP POST (SSH is Complicated) request to AltServer (todo: how find AltServer IP from bluetooth?) and that could trigger the refresh process
This'd free up a third app slot without needing to manually refresh/reinstall them on the computer
...Actually wouldn't a PWA be better for this?

Research direction
Start by clarifying whether the preferred approach is an HTTP POST from phone shortcuts or a PWA, and how the phone would find AltServer over Bluetooth. Done requires an agreed design for triggering refresh and resolving the AltServer discovery problem.
