Research direction

Start with extract-firmware.sh and trace the extraction path reached for the JFFS2 filesystem shown in the report. Identify where the unsupported-filesystem failure is emitted and how existing filesystem handlers are structured. Done means the reported firmware can proceed past JFFS2 detection without the unsupported-filesystem error.
