Groundwork for the app gate (item 1): before anything can enforce
authentication on app ports, the node has to know which ports are
*supposed* to be reachable without it.
`PortMapping` grows `auth` (PortAuth::Session | None, defaulting to
Session) and `auth_rationale`. The default is deliberately the protected
one. Every app port on this node answered with no credential at all over
LAN, Tailscale, Tor and the FIPS mesh alike — reproduced 2026-08-03 —
precisely because exposure was what you got by saying nothing. Inverting
the default means a new app is protected unless its manifest argues for
an exemption.
Validation makes the argument mandatory: `auth: none` without a
rationale is rejected, and so is a rationale without `auth: none` (that
combination means the author wrote an exemption and did not get one —
shipping it silently would leave them believing otherwise).
17 ports across 12 apps are declared exempt, each with its reason. They
are the ports that cannot sit behind an HTTP login page at all: Lightning
p2p (BOLT-8 noise), LND gRPC/REST and CLN gRPC (macaroon / mutual TLS —
Zeus and remote wallets dial these directly), Bitcoin p2p gossip,
electrum wire protocol, Wyoming voice streams, git-over-SSH, and the UDP
discovery protocols (mDNS, SSDP, STUN). Everything else — 39 published
ports — now defaults to gated.
Bitcoin's RPC 8332 is deliberately NOT exempted: it is already
`bind: 127.0.0.1`, so the gate never sees it, and claiming an exemption
it does not need would put a line in the audit list that means nothing.
If the loopback bind is ever dropped, it fails closed.
Two corpus tests keep this honest: every shipped manifest must parse
under the new rules, and the exempt set is pinned at 17 so any change to
the node's unauthenticated surface has to be a deliberate edit.
Tests: 73/73 archipelago-container, workspace builds clean.

Image default is beam 5 on x86 (1 on ARM). Benchmarked on framework-pt
(i5-1135G7, base-int8, real speech): beam 1 transcribes identical text
~45% faster; extra CPU threads made it slower, so only the beam changes.
App revision 3.4.2 > image 3.4.1 so catalog-driven nodes roll the args
change; a 3.4.1-1 suffix would semver-compare LOWER and never ship.

Package the PineVoice/Wyoming local voice assistant as ONE store app "Pine"
that runs three rootless containers:
- pine-whisper — Wyoming faster-whisper STT (docker.io/rhasspy/wyoming-whisper
3.4.1, model base-int8/en), publishes :10300
- pine-piper — Wyoming Piper TTS (2.2.2, voice en_GB-alba-medium),
publishes :10200
- pine — nginx launcher serving a self-contained setup/status page
(WiFi provisioning + Home Assistant wiring instructions), the Open target
The two engines publish their Wyoming ports so Home Assistant reaches them via
host.containers.internal. All rootless (cap-drop=ALL, no_new_privileges),
manifest-driven — no hardcoded podman/installer. The engines are internal stack
members (added to the drift-check INTERNAL_MANIFEST_IDS allowlist); only "pine"
carries a catalog entry.
