No Adding Nintendo Switch 2 support to hactool depends on reverse-engineering new encrypted formats and key material, which requires specialized security research rather than vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A real version means reverse-engineering the Switch 2 (Ounce) file formats, key derivation, and container structures, then extending hactool's C codebase to parse them. This needs deep familiarity with console security, cryptography, and binary analysis, plus access to legitimately obtained key material and test files.
