Root causes found and fixed after live debugging on archi-dev-box (all
verified on real RNode hardware, archi-dev-box <-> archy-x250-dev E2E):
- probe_rnode raced the board's own boot: opening the port pulses DTR/RTS
through USB-UART bridges (CP2102/Heltec V3), the ESP32 power-cycles and
spends ~2.5-3s in boot ROM, and the KISS DETECT written 300ms after open
landed in the void — so an RNode could NEVER connect on these boards.
Now: immediate probe (fast path), then drain-until-quiet boot settle and
a second DETECT with a fresh response window.
- MeshService::configure() only restarted the listener on enable/disable —
device_kind/device_path/advert_name/RF-param changes were silent no-ops
until a full process restart (the setup modal's apply/keep-as-is did
nothing). Material config changes now bounce the listener; the open
sequence races the shutdown signal so stop() no longer burns the full
15s timeout mid-probe; mesh.configure applies in the background instead
of stalling every status poll behind the service write-lock.
- The mesh name was write-only: config.advert_name had no reader,
server.set-name never reached the mesh service, and Reticulum's
set_advert_name was a no-op (daemon display name fixed at spawn, and the
ARCHY:2 announce blob REPLACED the LXMF display name — every archy node
was anonymous on RNS). Now: advert_name > server name precedence feeds
the session, renames restart it live, the daemon gets --display-name at
spawn plus a set_name RPC verb, and announces carry the LXMF-standard
msgpack name with the identity blob appended as an extra list element
stock clients (Sideband/NomadNet) ignore.
- Dead reticulum-daemon was invisible for up to 30min (RX-stall watchdog):
child exit / RPC-EOF now fails try_recv_frame so the session reconnects.
- Setup modal re-trigger loop: plugged_at used the tty node's mtime, which
bumps on every open — each probe invalidated the dismissal key. Use
btime/ctime (only change on real plugs).
- ARCHY:2 identity adverts (re-emitted every 60s over Reticulum) stomped
the federation twin's real name with a synthetic Archy-… placeholder and
nulled its position; blob-only announces no longer assert a name, blob
strings can never become display names, and stale blob names are healed
at peers.json load.
- mesh.broadcast on Meshtastic sent heartbeat+time only (no identity);
SendAdvert now also fires a want_response NodeInfo broadcast.
- New mesh.refresh RPC: actively re-queries the radio contact table (the
UI Refresh button previously only re-read server caches).
- Reticulum peers now track last_advert (announce time) and mark existing
peers reachable on inbound traffic.
- Boot auto-enable no longer force-enables mesh when an operator
explicitly disabled it (only fires when no config file exists).

The QR mirrored the browser origin — an operator browsing over Tailscale
handed the phone a 100.x address it has no route to, so pairing silently
never connected (reported 2026-07-22; the 'random password' alongside it
was the device token working as designed). system.get-hostname now also
returns the default-route LAN IPv4; the QR substitutes it (or the mDNS
name) whenever the origin is localhost or a CGNAT/tailnet 100.64/10 IP.

system.kiosk-display.get/set RPCs write /etc/archipelago/kiosk-display.conf
(sourced by the kiosk launcher) and try-restart the kiosk so the choice
applies immediately. The Settings section only appears on nodes that have
the kiosk unit installed.

Chromium's SingletonLock is a symlink encoding <hostname>-<pid>. After a
node rename changes the OS hostname, the lock left from the previous
boot reads as "another computer" holding the profile; Chromium refuses
to start, --noerrdialogs hides the only dialog, and the kiosk
black-screens forever.
Two layers:
- kiosk launcher removes Singleton{Lock,Cookie,Socket} before every
Chromium start (any prior owner is dead at that point — pkill at
session start / loop respawn). Ships via ISO splice AND the binary's
include_str! self-heal, so existing nodes get it with the next OTA.
- the rename handler clears the lock immediately as a hostname
side-effect, covering nodes still running a pre-fix launcher.

server.set-name ran hostnamectl but left Debian's 127.0.1.1 line on the
old name (breaking sudo's 'unable to resolve host' and hostname -f) and
waited on avahi to notice the change by itself. Sync /etc/hosts and
avahi-set-host-name (fallback: try-restart avahi-daemon) right after a
successful rename, so http(s)://<hostname>.local works immediately —
best-effort, never blocks the rename.

Every production process spawn reachable from a tokio worker now uses
tokio::process: the install path's podman-port probe, the dependencies
disk check, factory-reset restart, config host-IP detection, the
orchestrator's host-facts helpers (resolve_dynamic_env and its call
sites made async to carry it through), and AutoRuntime's podman/docker
probes.
The FIPS transport probe is the special case: is_available() is a sync
trait method called from async route(), so instead of blocking ~50ms
on systemctl per stale-cache hit it now serves the cached value and
refreshes on a background thread (stale-while-revalidate) — bounded
staleness, zero stalled workers.
§C of the 1.8.0 hardening plan; container/transport/config/package
suites green.

Peers that opt in via a new "Share Location" toggle in Settings
(server.set-location RPC) get plotted on other trusted peers' Mesh Map
with a distinct Archy-logo marker, separate from raw LoRa radio peers.
Location is persisted locally, carried in NodeStateSnapshot, and
propagated through federation sync/delta like other node state.

- reticulum.rs: send_text_msg was lossy-UTF8-mangling binary CBOR control
envelopes (ReadReceipt etc.) before sending as LXMF text; base64-encode
with a marker instead, decoded losslessly on receive.
- typed_messages.rs: mesh.send-read-receipt fired automatically on every
chat view with no is_archy_peer gate, so viewing a message from a stock
(non-archy) LXMF peer auto-sent it an undecodable control envelope,
surfacing as garbage text right after whatever it just sent. Now a no-op
for non-archy peers.
- mesh/listener/mod.rs: RX_STALL_TIMEOUT was 300s and forced a full
auto-detect reconnect on any otherwise-healthy but quiet mesh link
(visible as "Connecting..." flapping); this also wiped Reticulum's
in-memory peer-address table every cycle, breaking messaging with peers
who hadn't re-announced in the window. Bumped to 1800s.
- reticulum.rs: persist the peer prefix/dest-hash/display-name table to
disk so a restart doesn't force every peer back to "Anonymous Peer"
until they re-announce.
- decode.rs/frames.rs: Meshcore was discarding the SNR its wire format
carries; wire it onto the peer record. Mesh.vue's signalBars() now falls
back to SNR-based bars when RSSI is unavailable (always true for
Meshcore); Reticulum has neither and correctly stays at 0/"no data".
- system/handlers.rs, dispatcher.rs: new system.get-hostname RPC + cert
regeneration (with a proper SAN) whenever server.set-name changes the
hostname, so HTTPS doesn't add a mismatch warning on top of the
self-signed one after a rename.
- AccountInfoSection.vue: surface the mDNS hostname + http/https links in
Settings (HTTPS needed for mic/camera secure-context features) — never
forced, both keep working.
- build-auto-installer-iso.sh: ship avahi-daemon so .local names actually
resolve on the LAN, and give the self-signed cert a real SAN instead of
a bare CN, both at image-build and install-time-fallback.
- Mesh.vue/MediaLightbox.vue/mesh-styles.css: mic/attach-stack no longer
closes on a plain hover-past; mesh images open in the shared lightbox
and have a real download button; lightbox close button moves to
bottom-center on mobile instead of under the status bar; mesh device
panel gets the same height/padding as its sibling tabs.
Verified: 108/108 mesh unit tests, deployed + confirmed healthy on
.116/.198/.228 (matching binary hash across all three), live Reticulum
messaging confirmed working end-to-end post-deploy.

The .github/workflows/ci.yml Rust job runs cargo fmt --check, clippy
with -D warnings, and tests. All three were failing. This commit:
- Applies rustfmt across the tree (the bulk of the diff — untouched
since the last toolchain bump, so a wide sweep was unavoidable).
- Fixes the correctness-level clippy errors:
container/bitcoin_simulator.rs wildcard-in-or-pattern
container/manifest.rs from_str rename to parse (reserved name)
container/podman_client.rs .get(0) -> .first()
container/runtime.rs manual += collapse
archipelago/src/constants.rs doc-comment → module-doc
api/rpc/package/install.rs stray /// comment above a non-item
container/docker_packages.rs redundant field init
streaming/advertisement.rs missing Metric import in tests
tests/orchestration_tests.rs `vec!` in non-Vec contexts
mesh/listener/dispatch.rs unused store_plain_message import
api/rpc/tor/mod.rs and mesh/steganography.rs: push-after-new → vec!
- Quiets wide legacy surfaces with crate-level allows in main.rs for
stylistic lints (too_many_arguments, type_complexity, doc indent,
enum variant prefix, wildcard-in-or, assertions-on-constants,
drop_non_drop, unused_io_amount, ptr_arg) — these fired in dozens
of places with no correctness payoff and have been churning every
toolchain bump.
- Tags intentional-dead-code helpers: wallet/ and streaming/ modules
are WIP, mesh::send_chunked_payload and DM_V1_MARKER are kept for
rollback compatibility, vpn::get_nostr_vpn_status is surface-area
for a not-yet-landed RPC.
cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features
-- -D warnings, and cargo test --all-features now all pass locally.

Replace fragmented random key generation with a single 24-word BIP-39
mnemonic that deterministically derives all node keys: Ed25519 (DID),
secp256k1 (Nostr/Bitcoin), BIP-84 xprv (Bitcoin Core), and LND aezeed
entropy. New onboarding flow: seed generate → word verification → identity
naming. Restore path enabled via 24-word entry. Includes seed RPC handlers,
mock backend support, LND/Bitcoin Core wallet-from-seed integration, and
UI polish across settings and discover views.

system.stats (Home page) and monitoring collector both used df /
which shows the small 29GB root partition. Now prefers
/var/lib/archipelago (the LUKS encrypted data partition) when it
exists — showing the actual 1.8TB storage users care about.

Critical:
- fix: container installs fail with "statfs: no such file or directory"
Root cause: NoNewPrivileges=yes in systemd blocks sudo inside backend.
Fix: use std::fs::create_dir_all + podman unshare chown (no sudo needed)
- fix: Tor services.json never written — \$ARCHY_TOR_DIR escaping bug
- fix: kiosk white screen — increase health wait to 60s, add --disable-gpu
Improvements:
- feat: LUKS encryption badge in Server disk stats (backend detects dm-crypt)
- fix: GRUB theme text scaling on 4:3 monitors — explicit fonts, wider menu
- fix: suppress default Debian MOTD (custom profile.d welcome is enough)
- fix: install error messages now show "Failed to pull/start" instead of
generic "Operation failed" (middleware.rs allowlist expanded)
- fix: container-tests CI — source cargo env before running tests
- docs: interactive container architecture diagram (HTML)
