Confirmed live 2026-09-08 against three real Lightning payments to a
registered @minibits.cash address: POST /claim (the only claim source
claim_and_redeem checked) always returned an empty array, no matter
how long or how often it was polled. Independently queried
wss://relay.minibits.cash and found all three payments sitting there
as NIP-04-encrypted kind-4 DMs, #p-tagged to the wallet's own Nostr
pubkey and authored by the Minibits service key — that is the actual
delivery channel for a payment made to the address, and this module
never looked at it.
fetch_relay_dms queries CLAIM_RELAY_URLS (the service's own relay plus
two public fallbacks) for kind-4 events tagged to our pubkey, feeding
matching content into the existing pending_claims retry pipeline
unchanged. A new last_dm_seen_at watermark stops the same (immutable,
never-expiring) relay event from being re-fetched and re-attempted on
every poll. The REST /claim call stays in place alongside it in case
it serves some other payment path — this only adds the missing one.
fix(ecash): trim stray whitespace before parsing a cashuA/cashuB token
Once the relay fix above surfaced the three real payments, all three
failed to redeem with "Invalid base64 in cashuB token" — the decrypted
NIP-04 content had a trailing space after the base64 payload (Minibits'
own encoding), which every base64 alphabet in decode_token_base64
rejects outright. CashuToken::deserialize now trims the whole token
string before touching the "cashuA"/"cashuB" prefix or payload. This is
a general robustness fix, not just a Minibits workaround — the same
stray-whitespace failure could hit a hand-pasted token from a clipboard
copy just as easily.
Both fixes verified end-to-end against production: all three stuck
payments (20 + 5 + 20 = 45 sats) redeemed cleanly on the first poll
after deploying this build to archy-x250-pa3.

Same class of bug as the Minibits address label
(settings.passwordNeedSpecial: "...(!@#$%^&* etc.)" — a bare @ vue-i18n
parses as linked-message syntax). This one is live in
ChangePasswordSection.vue's password-strength validator: typing a new
password with no special character throws this exact
SyntaxError the moment the message is rendered. Fixed the same way
({'@'} escaping).
Added locales/__tests__/i18nMessagesCompile.test.ts, which walks every
string in every locale file and asks the real vue-i18n compiler to
parse it — confirmed it fails on both bad strings before their fixes
and passes clean now, with no other landmines left in either locale
file. This closes the whole bug class rather than just these two
instances; a future bad interpolation string fails `npm test` instead
of only a live crash report.

Root cause of "click Receive, click Ecash, the modal disappears" (in
both the browser and the Android companion's WebView, since both host
the same neode-ui bundle): vue-i18n treats a bare @ as the start of
"linked message" syntax. receiveBitcoin.lnAddressLabel ("Your
@minibits.cash address:") isn't valid linked-message syntax, so
*compiling* that message throws a SyntaxError the instant it's first
rendered — i.e. the moment wallet.ecash-lnaddress resolves and the
address section becomes visible. The uncaught render-function error
blanks the whole teleported modal, which is indistinguishable from it
just closing.
Confirmed with a real (non-mocked) Vue app + real vue-i18n compiler in
a headless Chromium — a Vitest run with `t` mocked to a no-op, which is
how the existing component test suite covers this file, cannot catch a
bad message string at all. Fixed by escaping the @ as {'@'} — the same
pattern the codebase already uses for settings.domainNamePlaceholder
("user{'@'}example.com"). Added a regression test using the real
vue-i18n instance instead of the mocked one; verified it fails on the
old string and passes on the fix.

Operator report (2026-09-08): clicking the Ecash tab appeared to close
the whole Receive modal. Added a regression test simulating the exact
click, both for wallet.ecash-lnaddress succeeding and failing — the
tab switch alone never emits `close` or unmounts the dialog in either
case, so this isn't reproduced by a plain component-level click; the
investigation continues with the reporter for a browser-console repro.

archy-x250-pa3's data volume filled to 100% (cuprate at 125G, since
removed) while a client had the ecash receive tab open. save_state's
write landed mid-truncate, leaving wallet/minibits.json at 0 bytes.
load_state then hard-failed every wallet.ecash-lnaddress call with
"EOF while parsing a value", surfaced in the UI as "Lightning address
unavailable" — permanently, since nothing ever cleared the bad file.
Registration is idempotent per pubkey (re-registering returns the same
lud16 Minibits already assigned), so there's no reason a corrupt local
mirror of that state should be fatal. load_state now treats an empty
or unparseable state file the same as a missing one — re-register and
recover the same address — instead of erroring. Manually cleared the
stuck file on archy-x250-pa3 as an immediate fix; this closes the gap
so it self-heals next time.

A Minibits /claim response consumes the payment server-side the instant
it's returned — it can never be re-fetched. claim_and_redeem previously
decrypted/redeemed each claim inline and just warn!-logged any failure,
so a mint-unreachable blip, a stale cached server key, or an operator
who'd edited their accepted-mints list to drop the default mint (via
streaming.configure-mints) could make a real payment vanish with
nothing but a log line to show for it — claimed_count/received_sats
still came back as a clean 0, identical to "nothing arrived."
Now: every fetched claim is persisted to MinibitsState.pending_claims
before decrypt/redeem is attempted, survives failures across polls
instead of being dropped, and claim_and_redeem no longer bails out on a
fetch error without first retrying whatever was already pending.
ensure_mint_accepted self-heals the accepted-mints allow-list so the
Minibits mint (the address is inherently backed by it) can't be
excluded out from under a claim. ClaimOutcome gains failed_count,
threaded through wallet.ecash-lnaddress-claim and shown in
ReceiveBitcoinModal so a stuck claim is visible instead of silent.
Also fixes the server_nostur_pubkey field-name typo (no live state to
migrate — this feature hasn't shipped yet).

The wallet used Minibits only as a Cashu mint, so the node could hold and
swap ecash there but had no addressable name at it. This derives a LUD-16
Lightning address (name@minibits.cash) from the node's own ecash wallet and
surfaces it in the ecash Receive tab above the existing paste-token box.
Identity reuses the NUT-13 ecash phrase, so there is no second secret:
- seedHash = sha256(mnemonic.to_seed("")) — the exact hash the Minibits app
stores, so restoring the same phrase recovers the same address both ways;
- Nostr keys via NIP-06 at m/44'/1237'/0'/0/0 (nostr-sdk Keys::from_mnemonic,
pinned by a unit test against the NIP-06 vector so a bump cannot silently
move the derivation and orphan the profile).
Backend (wallet/minibits.rs) implements the verified live /v3 flow: NIP-42
challenge/verify -> JWT, idempotent /profile registration with collision
retry, and /claim polling that NIP-04-decrypts each token (service pubkey read
from the address's own LUD-16 metadata, constant fallback) and redeems it
through ecash::receive_token. Mainnet-only; state cached 0600 in
wallet/minibits.json.
New RPC: wallet.ecash-lnaddress (register-or-read, idempotent) and
wallet.ecash-lnaddress-claim (sweep Lightning payments into ecash). The modal
fetches the address on tab open, renders QR + copy, and sweeps claims while
open; a registration failure is non-fatal so paste-token still works.
Verified end-to-end against production: registered a disposable
@minibits.cash address, confirmed it resolves via /.well-known/lnurlp, and the
claim poll returns cleanly.
Archipelago never touched /etc/tollgate/identities.json — the "owner"
payout identity was whatever the router's TollGate install happened to
default to. Confirmed live against archy-x250-pa3: an unmodified upstream
placeholder (tollgate@minibits.cash), meaning 79% of every customer payment
would auto-payout to an address the operator never chose and doesn't
control.
Adds TollGateConfig.payout_address (opt-in — None leaves the router
untouched), config::apply_payout_identity() to merge it into the "owner"
entry of identities.json without disturbing the merchant keypair or the
other profit-share identities, an RPC param on openwrt.provision-tollgate,
and a status field + reconfigure-form input in the OpenWrt Gateway panel.

sweep_once() has never actually swept anything: `tollgate wallet drain
cashu` (no flags) blocks on an interactive y/N confirmation that Router::run
can never answer over a non-PTY SSH exec (empty stdin -> EOF -> defaults to
N -> "Operation cancelled." with exit code 0), so the drain_code != 0 check
can't catch it and every tick silently no-ops.
The obvious fix isn't safe either: `--json` skips the prompt, but confirmed
live against archy-x250-pa3 that on a wallet.db with a stale duplicate
per-mint entry (trailing-slash leftover from before the mint_url fix), it
completes a real swap against the good entry, then aborts on the second
(empty, stale) entry and reports "success": false without ever printing or
persisting the resulting token anywhere. 50 sats went from spendable balance
to gone in that one call. Documented so nobody "fixes" this by wiring in
--json before upstream fixes the partial-failure data loss.

Two bugs found live against archy-x250-pa3: TollGate-3458 (the upstream
tollgate-module-basic-go installer's own default AP, rebranded from
OpenWrt's factory default wireless.default_radioN sections) was left
bound to `network=lan` — wide open, unmetered, and sharing the router's
admin LAN — because install_ipk() runs the upstream package's own
uci-defaults scripts but nothing reconciled the AP they create with the
separate `tollgate` network/bridge/firewall this project's own
provision_ssid() sets up for the "archipelago" SSID. Fixed by folding any
default_radioN section left on `lan` onto the `tollgate` network right
after it's created.
Separately, a caller-supplied mint_url with a trailing slash
(https://mint.minibits.cash/Bitcoin/) got written byte-for-byte into
accepted_mints[0].url, which tollgate-wrt string-compares exactly against
a token's embedded (slash-less) mint URL — rejecting every otherwise-valid
token as an "untrusted mint". Fixed by trimming trailing slashes before
the value is used anywhere.

Adds a verification checklist (service running, nodogsplash bound to
br-tollgate not br-lan via the rendered config not just UCI, LAN/SSH
untouched, mint probes succeeding) plus notes on the dev-build test-mint
injection and the default-route race between a router's LAN interface
and the node's other uplinks before the router's own WAN/WISP is live.

Archipelago's Connect form only authenticates with an existing password;
it has no flow for setting one on a fresh, passwordless router. On the
node's kiosk display there's no visible tab bar, so Ctrl+T to open a new
tab to LuCI is the way to set it before Connect will work.

The install code was hardcoded to the Oct 2025 v0.2.0 release —
nine releases behind. Its changelog covers exactly the failures hit
live against archy-x250-pa3: a mint with an empty/broken keyset
crash-looped tollgate-wrt forever (v0.5.0 adds "graceful degradation
when Cashu mints fail"), and the bundled captive-portal JS had zero
CBOR support, hard-rejecting the cashuB (NUT-00 V4) tokens modern
wallets like Minibits generate by default.
Also: v0.5.0 publishes native .apk packages for aarch64_cortex-a53
and x86_64. install_tollgate_apk_native now prefers those directly
(apk add handles deps/postinst/uci-defaults itself) instead of always
falling back to the manual ar/tar .ipk extraction dance, which only
exists because earlier releases had no native apk build at all.

Observed live on archy-x250-pa3: right after WAN reconnects (fresh
boot or WAN reconfigure), the first Install attempt can fail with
"apk update failed ... router may have no internet access" purely
because the WiFi-uplink STA association hasn't finished yet — it's
not a real error, just retry a few seconds later. Also cross-referenced
the now-fixed /usr/bin/opkg hardcoding bug for anyone hitting it on an
older build.

provisionTollgate/saveTollgateConfig/scanWifi/configureWan all fell
back to the Connect form's local refs (host/sshUser/sshPassword) when
connectedParams was null. Those refs only get populated if the form
was actually submitted this session — on a normal page load the
router reconnects via the server-persisted config instead, leaving
sshPassword at its default ''. Sending that as an explicit
(empty-but-present) ssh_password overrides the backend's saved-config
fallback, so every action auths with a blank password instead of the
real saved one.
Added authParams(): omit host/ssh_user/ssh_password entirely unless
connectedParams is actually set, same as the status poll already does.
Caught live: dropbear on archy-x250-pa3's router logged a single bad
password attempt at the exact moment "Install TollGate" was clicked,
sandwiched between periodic status-poll connections succeeding with
the real saved password.

opkg_check() and every opkg/apk invocation hardcoded /usr/bin/opkg and
/usr/bin/apk. Official OpenWrt images don't all symlink /bin into
/usr/bin — the glinet_gl-mt3000 24.10.2 build keeps them as separate
real directories with opkg living in /bin — so the check silently
missed a perfectly normal install and TollGate provisioning failed
with "this router's firmware may not support package management".
Switched every call to resolve through the router's own $PATH
(command -v / bare opkg / apk) instead. Reproduced and fixed live
against archy-x250-pa3, 2026-09-05.

Step 4 described a single "Provision TollGate" action that prompts for
price/step/mint upfront. The real UI (OpenWrtGateway.vue) doesn't work
that way: "Install TollGate" is a one-click action with no config form
that installs with defaults, and price/step/mint/enabled are only
editable afterward via a separate "Edit" panel. Caught while walking
through a live install.
