I like how you nicely run things on the device, very interesting. That gives a better understanding of Kobo internals. But I also like to run things outside the device because I feel more comfortable.
If you want current KHD database returns a new format for your needs to patch directly on the reader, I can add. Normally, I prefer to write code than to read, no problem ;-)
I had troubles connecting to my home hidden wi-fi, so I disabled it because all my ebooks are side-loaded and don't need it. And I never tried Kobo browser, I don't know if KHD website with bootstrap/jquery is rendered ok and if login, editing and downloading is possible.
If a Mod were only a collection of patches, it could be already done with KHD website. A user profile is like that, a collection of (de)select patches that can also be edited. Editing patch code from Kobo is probably not too much comfortable, but you can have your profiles updated once from pc and only select them from device.
