fix(wallet): the Lightning funding gate states the node's real channel state
Demo images / Build & push demo images (push) Successful in 3m38s

"LND thinks I do not have a channel" while the wallet showed plenty of
liquidity (framework-pt, 2026-09-01): the send gate sums outbound over
FULLY-OPEN channels only, which is correct — a just-opened channel
sits in LND's pending list until it has ~3 confirmations, and an
open channel can have all its balance on the far side — but the modal
then claimed the node had NO channel at all, in every one of those
states, and pointed the user at opening another one.

The gate already fetched the full channel list; it now records WHY
liquidity is zero and the modal says the truth per state:
- pending channels -> "your new channel is waiting for on-chain
  confirmations, it unlocks automatically, nothing is needed from you"
  (and no "Open a channel" button — that would send the user to fix
  a problem they don't have, possibly opening a second channel)
- open channels, zero on the needed side -> "balance is on the far
  side — you can receive but there's nothing to send right now"
- payment refused with a routing/liquidity error -> says so, instead
  of claiming no channels
- only a genuinely channel-less node keeps the open-one guidance

Eleven unit tests pin the state machine, including the regression
case (pending-only -> 'pending', not 'none') and fail-open on RPC
errors.

<p><strong>Apps open over HTTPS again, including Mempool, Bitcoin and IndeeHub.</strong> The launcher looked each app's port policy up in the signed catalog under the name you click, but the catalog lists that port under the app that owns it — so Mempool "did not connect", Bitcoin opened a plain-http tab, and Nostr sign-in on IndeeHub silently did nothing over HTTPS. Launches now follow the alias to the owning manifest, the catalog is loaded before the first app you open (not just in the App Store), and the Nostr bridge replies to the app frame's real origin instead of a stale recorded address.</p>
<p><strong>Nginx Proxy Manager starts again.</strong> Its manifest was missing two things its image requires — the LetsEncrypt folder mount and the permission to bind low ports — leaving it in an endless restart loop on nodes that had it installed. Both are declared now; your existing certificates are untouched, and the fix arrives via the signed catalog without waiting for this release.</p>
<p><strong>Portainer's first-run token is on the app page, not buried in "server logs".</strong> New Portainer versions hand the first admin a one-time setup token that was only printed in the container logs — on this box, that token now appears with your app's other credentials, with a copy button, and disappears once setup is done.</p>
<p><strong>The Lightning wallet says what's actually wrong, instead of "you have no channel".</strong> Trying to send while a channel you just opened was still confirming — or when all its balance sits on the far side — produced a modal claiming you had no channel at all. The gate now looks at your real channel list: a confirming channel gets "it unlocks automatically once confirmed, nothing needed from you", a far-side balance gets "you can receive but there's nothing to send right now", and only a genuinely channel-less node is sent to open one.</p>
