In theory we should be able to yeet the tarball of assets we create manually and then copy to local storage. This would involve loading a special Core::Resource backend that uses AAssetManager instead of the standard unix file-based one.
The backend would maintain a handle to however you're supposed to access assets that are within the apk, and vend out resources by path on request. Then we can stop archiving the assets and remove the java code that transfers them to the SD card/local storage
This also lets us remove the tar utility implementation from the repo.
