Research direction
Start by reproducing the extraction and immediate rebuild of tomato-RT-AC68U-ARM--122-AIO-64K.trx with fmk_099.tar.gz. Compare the rebuilt image with the original and investigate why stock ASUS firmware rejects it or recovery flashing soft-bricks the router. Done means an unchanged extraction/rebuild produces an image accepted by the router.
