feat(apps): package Cuprate, an alternative Monero node
Full-node daemon: P2P + Monero's own restricted RPC (the safe-for-public subset wallets use as a "remote node") are auth:none like bitcoin/electrumx's equivalents; unrestricted RPC (full node control) stays gated auth:local. readonly_root works cleanly since the upstream image is FROM scratch with ownership fixed at build time — no runtime chown/setuid needed, unlike bitcoin-knots/core. Verified locally end-to-end before committing: built the upstream Dockerfile, confirmed the generated Cuprated.toml against `cuprated --generate-config`/ `--dry-run`, and ran the real image with the manifest's exact ports/volumes — including discovering that cuprated's own 127.0.0.1-default RPC bind is unreachable through a published host port and needs to bind 0.0.0.0 internally with ports[].bind:127.0.0.1 doing the actual restriction, the same pattern bitcoin-knots' RPC port already uses in this repo. Bumps the unauthenticated_ports_are_all_accounted_for canary (26 -> 28) for cuprate's two auth:none ports, per that test's own review-before-updating contract.

# (verified against `cuprated --generate-config` and `--dry-run` locally,
|

# 2026-08-21):
|

# - target_max_memory: cuprated's own default auto-detects total *host*
|
||||
# RAM via sysinfo, which inside a memory-limited container would let
|
||||
# it size caches far past what resources.memory_limit above actually
|

# grants — same class of problem bitcoin-knots' -dbcache sizing
|
||||
# comment addresses. Set explicitly, comfortably under the 4Gi limit.
|
||||
# - rpc.restricted.enable: cuprated ships this off by default; flip on
|
||||
# so the auth:none host port above actually serves something instead
|

# of refusing every connection. port stays at its documented default
|
||||
# (canonical 18089), and advertise stays false — this node is not
|
||||
# opting in to being listed as a public remote node over the p2p
|
||||
# network, just reachable if someone points a wallet at it directly.
|
||||
# - rpc.unrestricted.address + the allow-public flag: cuprated's own
|

# default (127.0.0.1) looks like the obviously-correct choice for a
|
||||
# port meant to stay loopback-only, but verified live (2026-08-21)
|
||||
# that a service bound literally to 127.0.0.1 *inside* the container
|

# is unreachable through the host's published port — connections
|

# reset regardless of how long the daemon has been up. Binding
|

# 0.0.0.0 inside and letting ports[].bind: 127.0.0.1 below be the
|
||||
# actual restriction is the same pattern apps/bitcoin-knots already
|

# uses for its own RPC port (-rpcbind=0.0.0.0:8332 internally, gate
|
||||
# restricts it externally) — not a new risk, the same one already
|
||||
# reviewed and accepted for Bitcoin's RPC.
