450 existed as two independent Rust constants (RPC gates vs boot
reconciler) linked only by a "keep in lockstep" comment — updating one
would reopen the disk-fill hole. Move it to crate::constants as the
single source of truth both paths import.
Also raise apps/cuprate/manifest.yml storage dependency and disk_limit
from 300Gi to 450Gi so manifest-driven surfaces (store size, pre-checks)
show the number the gate actually enforces — a user provisioning to the
displayed 300 was refused at an unexplained 450. Catalog regenerated
(cuprate entry re-embedded; still unsigned pending sign-catalog.sh).
Same companion shape as bitcoin-ui/electrs-ui: host-networked nginx
bound to 127.0.0.1:18091 (auth: gated + session_passthrough), serving
a dark glass status page that polls the node's restricted RPC via a
session-gated /cuprate-rpc/ proxy — sync height/target with progress
bar, peers, mempool, chain size and free disk (from get_info), plus a
wallet 'remote node' endpoint. The offline state explains the disk gate
so a refused node says why.
No secret rendering: the restricted RPC is Monero's safe-for-public
subset, so nginx.conf is baked into the image (no pre_start hook, no
bind mount). companion.rs auto-provisions archy-cuprate-ui alongside
cuprate and reaps it when cuprate goes.
Catalog regenerated (cuprate-ui entry + manifest embed, 18091 into the
mesh launch-port list). NOTE: releases/app-catalog.json is UNSIGNED as
committed — run scripts/sign-catalog.sh before publishing.
Cuprate has no pruning — verified against upstream main
(binaries/cuprated/src/config.rs): the 'pruning' crate is Monero's p2p
protocol pruning, not on-disk. Unlike the bitcoin apps, which branch on
DISK_GB in their entrypoint and self-prune, a disk-constrained cuprate
can only sync until the filesystem fills and take Archipelago down.
Translate the bitcoin disk-awareness into the only form cuprate can
honor — refuse rather than prune:
- install (sync + async RPC paths) and package.start fail with an
actionable message below CUPRATE_MIN_DISK_GB (450 GB total: chain
~250 GiB + headroom; allows 500 GB-class, refuses the 250 GB VPS)
- boot reconcile skips an already-installed cuprate on a shrunken disk,
recorded as Left("cuprate-insufficient-disk") before ensure_running
so desired-state recovery can never undo it (same shape as
requires-archival-bitcoin)
- df failure fail-opens at install (never block on an unreadable disk),
fail-closes at boot (never start a doomed sync)
prod_orchestrator also registers cuprate-ui in UI_APP_IDS (its
companion commit follows).
read_tor_address("bitcoin-core") was resolving through tor_service_name to
the shared "bitcoin" alias, but enrollment (install.rs auto-enroll and the
tor.create-service RPC) always names HiddenServiceDir/tor-hostnames entries
using the raw package_id verbatim — never canonicalized. On a real node
that's hidden_service_bitcoin-core, which the aliased lookup never found,
so the per-app UI Tor badge stayed empty even after the previous commit
made bitcoin-core auto-enrollable.
Give bitcoin-core its own identity-mapped arm instead of folding it into
the legacy bitcoin/bitcoin-knots/bitcoind alias, and pin all three lookup
tables (known_service_port, is_protocol_service, tor_service_name) with
regression tests so this alias-drift class of bug can't recur silently.

apps/bitcoin-core/manifest.yml uses id "bitcoin-core", but
known_service_port/is_protocol_service (tor/mod.rs) and
tor_service_name (docker_packages.rs) only matched "bitcoin" and
"bitcoin-knots", so the app silently never got auto-enrolled for a
P2P (8333) hidden service at install time, and the UI's Tor address
lookup for it always returned None.

LND normally reconnects channel peers after a restart, but not reliably:
after long or repeated downtime (an app update, a node reboot,
reconciler churn) the peer link can stay down for hours while BOTH
endpoints keep the channel flagged disabled in the routing graph. The
node looks perfectly healthy, the wallet shows balance, and every
payment in either direction fails "no route to the recipient" —
observed live on framework-pt (2026-09-01): its only channel sat
disabled on both policy sides for ~17 hours after the LND 0.21.2
update, while shorty had 583k spendable and the user was told, by a
mis-mapped modal, that they had 'no payment channel'.
The channel graph is desired state — every open channel should have a
live peer connection. A daemon-side watchdog now enforces it:
- every 2 minutes, list channels + peers over LND REST
- for each channel whose remote peer is not connected, look the peer's
advertised addresses up in the public graph and dial one
- per-peer retries throttled to 10 minutes so an unreachable peer is
not hammered; 'already connected' counts as done; a peer with no
advertised address is logged once per pass (cannot be dialed)
- no-ops quietly on nodes without LND (missing macaroon) and while a
wallet is locked (503 body has no channels)
Unit tests pin the selection against the live REST shapes
(remote_pubkey in /v1/channels vs pub_key in /v1/peers).
v1.8.10 CHANGELOG + What's New entries staged so the next release run
is clean first time.
fips/ssh_mesh.rs owns the 90-ssh.nft drop-in lifecycle: off by default,
any-peer scope behind the UI's danger confirmation or an explicit mesh
address list, reconciled on every daemon config install. The scanner now
takes installed apps' icons from their real manifest metadata (Cuprate's
Services tile) and classifies manifest-declared UI apps as launchable
even when the address probe misses (Alby Hub).
Store-listing components are filtered via the shared serviceNames canon;
these four never earn a tile: MorphOS server is old, the Web5 DID wallet
and CryptPad are untested, Lightning Stack is an untracked upstream
bundle (LND covers it).
Nginx Proxy Manager, Tailscale, Ollama, CryptPad, and AdGuard Home now
carry full manifests: the app gate fronts their web ports (TLS on the
same port, node login where appropriate), installs run through the
orchestrator, and pins live in the signed catalog. Tailscale mirrors its
legacy shape exactly (userspace networking, web console on 8240, plain
HTTP for the gate to front). Ollama stays loopback-only — the
assistant's local model backend, not a web app.
Retires the four already-removed apps for good (FIPS, Nostr VPN,
Routstr, Penpot pins dropped from image-versions.sh, the generator map,
and image_versions.rs), fixes Cuprate's duplicated metadata block that
strict YAML parsers reject, and updates the port-inventory review gates
for the new open (3 own-login consoles) and exempt (2 DNS) ports.
The release gate's first real stage is `cargo fmt --check`, and it had
44 diffs across 15 files — enough to abort `create-release.sh` at step 0
before it touched a version number. Some of that drift is mine from the
last two days, some predates it in files I never opened
(bootstrap.rs, ghost_reaper.rs, openwrt/router.rs), and one is the
regenerated fips/app_ports.rs.
No behaviour change — rustfmt only.
Gate now: 8 of 9 green. The remaining red is cargo-test-weekly exiting
124, which is the 25-minute `timeout` expiring during a cold
CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 rebuild on a loaded node — the tests never started.
Not a test failure.

A ghost is a container whose process tree is still running while podman
has no record of it: the exit-command's `cleanup --rm` deletes the record,
conmon and the payload survive. It keeps owning exactly what the app needs
— the published host port and the file locks in its data dir — so the
replacement container either fails to bind ("address already in use") or
starts and dies on the lock, and Restart=always loops it there forever.
Nothing in the stack could see it: every podman-level stop/rm/recreate
misses a container podman lost.
Seen twice now: 752 restarts on a fleet node (2026-08-10) and again on the
dev box today, where Gitea flapped until it fell out of My Apps. Both were
cleared by hand; container-doctor.sh has the same logic but is an
out-of-band script the daemon never calls.
- New container::ghost_reaper: finds conmon processes whose 64-hex
container id is absent from `podman ps -a --no-trunc -q`, then kills the
payload's children and conmon (TERM, 5s grace, then KILL — the Gitea
ghost ignored TERM). Id-based, never name-based: killing by name would
hit the live managed container. A failed `podman ps` reaps nothing
rather than treating every container as a ghost.
- Hooked at repair_before_package_start (covers package.start,
package.restart and the orchestrator start path) and in the boot
reconciler's 30s tick, so ghosts are cleared before an app is asked to
start and swept for every app continuously.
Restart feedback: the lifecycle RPCs return {"status":"restarting"} in
milliseconds and work in the background, so "Restarting..." flashed for a
few frames and the buttons went idle while the app was still down — the
click read as a no-op. The hero buttons now show a spinner and hold it off
the node's own state (starting/stopping/restarting/updating, plus running
+ health=starting), and the just-clicked action is held until the backend
confirms it picked the work up, with a 12s cap so an unresponsive node
still releases the controls.

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.
