The solution was this: I had the coward's rescue pack installed, so I was able to ssh in just by rebooting the Kindle while it was plugged into my PC, and then by manually setting computer's IP to 192.168.15.202, subnet to /24, gateway to 192.168.15.244. I then drop in the contents of emergency-bridge-recovery.zip to root and ran it. That restored jb.
But, after that, the KUAL hotfix is still not installable from UYK for whatever reason--it still complains that the package is invalid as soon as you dismount your Kindle from your PC. So, you have to use mrpi. But to get mrpi to work without KUAL (if you don't have USBnet working--my guess is I did, but it didn't occur to me to check) you need to restore the shortcuts (mrpi looks like it's usable within the rescue pack environment for installing some hacks, but apparently? not for reinstalling KUAL--it fails when it can't find sqlite3). ED: It looks like whatever I did here was irrelevant and whatever reason the shortcuts weren't working for me at first, doing the following should not help. Running the emergency-bridge-recovery files should be enough. Kept here in spoiler tags for posterity/my own benefit, honestly
Spoiler:
From what I can tell,
the old script that did this won't work since the directory and files it thinks the shortcuts are in don't even exist. But you can
Code:
mntroot rw
mkdir -p /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow
while in rescue mode and then copy the json file inside the attached zip into it. After reboot, that'll get ;log mrpi to work again, at which point installing KUAL happens right away.
