Pin bumps (all verified pullable from their public registries before
editing, so none can become an image-not-found on a node):
strfry 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2 (dockurr/strfry, direct pull)
btcpay-server 2.4.2 -> 2.4.3 (docker.io/btcpayserver, direct pull)
netbird (nginx) 1.31.3-alpine -> 1.31.4-alpine
pine (nginx) 1.31.3-alpine -> 1.31.4-alpine
image-versions.sh moved in lockstep for BTCPAY_IMAGE — it is the baseline
the update badge compares against. Held back deliberately, per the risk
policy from the Aug-17 pass: gitea (four minors of DB migrations),
portainer (six minors), filebrowser (2.27 -> 2.63), fedimint/gateway
(0.8 -> 0.12, real migrations), lnd (money-critical), netbird-server/
netbird-dashboard (0.x, must move in lockstep), and everything with a
major jump or a data migration.
Cuprate also gets its curated store entry (category money, tier optional,
icon, repo) — same shape as the Alby Hub / phoenixd entries — synced
through generate-app-catalog.py into both store catalogs and the
app-session config. The fips launch-port list is unchanged (Cuprate has
no UI port; the generated file round-trips to the committed bytes after
cargo fmt).
Three further bumps are prepared and parked on the
app-bumps-mirror-pending branch, blocked only on a registry-push token:
vaultwarden 1.37.2-alpine, archy-nbxplorer 2.6.11, home-assistant
2026.8.3 — all mirror-backed, and the push credential on record for the
lfg2025 namespace is dead.
Drift gate: check-app-catalog-drift.py --release --strict clean
(31 store entries, 0 drift, 0 missing). appSessionConfig tests 7/7.
Nodes offer an update when the signed catalog pins something newer than
what's running, and that machinery is fine. The missing step was the one
before it: nothing told *us* when upstream shipped. A pin could sit at
fedimintd v0.10.0 for months while every node in the fleet correctly and
confidently reported "up to date".
The reason nothing could tell us is that a manifest records only our
mirror — `source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/fedimintd:v0.10.0`
says nothing about the project it was mirrored from. So this adds an
optional `app.upstream` block naming the real source, and a script that
asks each one what it has released.
Running it answers the question that prompted this. Of 58 apps, 28 are
behind, including LND v0.18.4-beta against v0.21.2-beta, Bitcoin Core
28.4 against 31.1, and fedimintd/gatewayd v0.10.0 against v0.10.1.
Two choices worth stating. An app with no `upstream` block is reported
as UNTRACKED rather than skipped — a silent skip is how this stayed
invisible, and before this commit all 58 were silently skipped. And a
suggestion prefers our own tag variant: telling someone pinned to
`postgres:16.13-alpine` that the newest tag is `18.6-trixie` is true and
useless, because swapping the base image is a different decision from
bumping a version.
Five apps are deliberately left untracked (barkd, immich-postgres,
indeedhub-minio, lightning-stack, pine-whisper): I could not establish
their upstream with confidence, and a wrong `repo` produces a confident
wrong verdict, which is worse than an honest gap.

Some apps carry a complete account system and are broken by an upstream
challenge: git clients speak basic-auth (not browser cookies), and a
BTCPay checkout link handed to a customer must open for that customer.
Both were behind the gate's login page — the "non-browser clients need an
access token" gap disclosed in five consecutive releases.
- New manifest port policy `auth: open`: the daemon still fronts the port
exactly like `gated` (loopback pin, external binds, frame-header fixes,
app-down retry page, Tor upstream) but serves it without the login
challenge. Requires auth_rationale, same burden of proof as `none`.
Gitea 3001 and BTCPay 23000 declare it.
- Runtime operator override per app (security.set-app-gate → app-configs/
<id>.json "gateEnabled"), surfaced as Settings → app → Access control.
Wins over the manifest in both directions and applies on the next
request — no restart, and it works today on catalog-covered apps whose
signed manifest still says `gated`.
- The gate resolves policy per-request from the live port map, so a
toggle takes effect without waiting for the 60s rebind sweep. "Off"
never releases the port: gated apps are loopback-pinned, so releasing
would strand them, not open them.
- security.app-gate-status now reports gate_enabled + any override.
- New guard test pins the `auth: open` set (both entries reviewed); the
`auth: none` count moves 25 → 26, absorbing pre-existing drift from the
phoenixd onboarding (loopback JSON API with its own generated password).
- Docs: the manifest spec's ports row documented only host/container/
protocol — bind, auth, auth_rationale and session_passthrough were
undocumented. Added a full "Ports & the app gate" section plus a
developer-guide entry telling app authors to enforce their own auth
regardless, since the operator can flip the gate either way.
Verified live on archi-dev-box from an external address: gated → 401 gate
page; override off → Gitea 200 own page, BTCPay 302 to its own login,
git-over-HTTP info/refs 200; override on → 401 again; clear → default.
