Owner

Problem

furt uses hardcoded require('cjson') but Arch Linux provides lua51-dkjson.

Platform Status

OpenBSD: lua-cjson ✅
Debian: lua-cjson ✅
Arch: lua51-dkjson only ❌

Current Workaround

Manual sed replacement in start.sh and Lua source files.

Solution Needed

Flexible JSON library detection:

local ok, json = pcall(require, 'cjson')
if not ok then
    json = require('dkjson')
end

Files to Change

src/main.lua
src/routes/mail.lua
scripts/start.sh

Success Criteria

furt runs on all platforms without manual JSON library patches.
