Subject: [PATCH] CRITICAL FIX: Resolve IFS modification and unprotected cd
 commands

CRITICAL BUG FIXES:
- [C1] IFS modification without restoration (line 390)
  Problem: Changed IFS to '|' but never restored, affecting all subsequent word splitting
  Fix: Save/restore IFS around read operation to prevent scope pollution

- [C2] Unprotected cd commands without error checking (5 instances)
  Lines: 545, 822, 830, 845, 986
  Problem: If cd fails, subsequent commands execute in wrong directory
  Impact: Could corrupt system, install to wrong location
  Fix: Added error checking: cd /tmp || return 1 (or handle gracefully)

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Word splitting now works correctly throughout script
- Directory changes are validated before proceeding
- Cleanup operations fail gracefully if cd fails

All syntax validated (bash -n: PASS)
