cuprate publishes only raw JSON RPC (18090 restricted, 18183 p2p), so
launches must land on the companion on :18091, never on the running
node's runtimeUrl — same root-path special-case bitcoin uses, with the
dev vite proxy for /app/cuprate-ui/. Alias cuprate -> cuprate-ui so the
port-auth lookup finds the gated launch port on HTTPS nodes; pin the
companion icon to the cuprate mark.
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.

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.

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.

v1.8.9's move to Router.SendPaymentV2 shipped without fee_limit_sat,
and the v2 route treats an ABSENT fee limit as zero allowed fees.
Every real route carries a routing fee (the 2-hop route here: 1.5
sats), so the pathfinder rejected them all and the wallet answered
"No route to the recipient" on EVERY send — all day, on healthy
channels with plenty of liquidity both ways.
The router debug log makes it unambiguous:
wallet payment (v1.8.9 backend): fee_limit=0 mSAT -> no route
same payment by hand (lncli --fee_limit=100): fee_limit=100000 mSAT -> settles in 0.65s
My earlier "pipeline verified" claim was wrong — the manual lncli
verification set a fee limit by hand and masked this exact bug. The
400k that succeeded this morning went through the pre-update backend
on the pre-update LND.
Payments now carry lncli's own default budget — the payment amount
(100%), preferring the payer-supplied amount for zero-value invoices
and the invoice's own amount otherwise, with a nominal floor so the
limit can never be zero. Unit-pinned so it cannot regress.
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.
"LND thinks I do not have a channel" while the wallet showed plenty of
liquidity (framework-pt, 2026-09-01): the send gate sums outbound over
FULLY-OPEN channels only, which is correct — a just-opened channel
sits in LND's pending list until it has ~3 confirmations, and an
open channel can have all its balance on the far side — but the modal
then claimed the node had NO channel at all, in every one of those
states, and pointed the user at opening another one.
The gate already fetched the full channel list; it now records WHY
liquidity is zero and the modal says the truth per state:
- pending channels -> "your new channel is waiting for on-chain
confirmations, it unlocks automatically, nothing is needed from you"
(and no "Open a channel" button — that would send the user to fix
a problem they don't have, possibly opening a second channel)
- open channels, zero on the needed side -> "balance is on the far
side — you can receive but there's nothing to send right now"
- payment refused with a routing/liquidity error -> says so, instead
of claiming no channels
- only a genuinely channel-less node keeps the open-one guidance
Eleven unit tests pin the state machine, including the regression
case (pending-only -> 'pending', not 'none') and fail-open on RPC
errors.
The release gate requires the freshly-built bundle to embed the new
version, and the version reaches the bundle through the What's New
modal in AccountInfoSection — there was no v1.8.9-alpha block yet, so
create-release.sh correctly refused to ship a bundle that looked stale.
This adds the block (the user-facing summary of today's LND/HTTPS/
launcher/NPM/Portainer fixes) and carries the version bumps the
aborted run had already written (Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, package.json,
package-lock), so the re-run starts from a clean tree.
Verified: npm run build now produces assets containing 1.8.9-alpha
(Settings chunk), i.e. the exact check the script runs passes.
Three launcher/bridge defects combined to make HTTPS dashboards look
broken while HTTP ones worked:
1. portAuth() looked the launch port up under the name the user clicks
('mempool-web', 'lnd', 'bitcoin-knots'…), but the signed catalog
declares those ports under the manifest id that owns them
(archy-mempool-web, lnd-ui, bitcoin-ui). The lookup missed,
portIsGateFronted answered false, and an HTTPS dashboard handed app
frames http:// URLs — blocked as mixed content: mempool and IndeeHub
'did not connect', bitcoin knots/core opened http:// in a new tab.
Resolution now follows launch aliases, then a port-wide catalog scan
that only answers when every declarer of that port agrees (a port
any app publishes as plain HTTP is never upgraded to https).
2. The signed-catalog cache was only warmed by the Store/Discover
views, so a user who went straight to My Apps launched apps with an
empty cache. Warmed at dashboard mount now — fetchAppCatalog()
already memoizes with a 1h TTL.
3. The NIP-07 bridge compared event.origin for strict equality with the
recorded (http) app URL and replied to the recorded URL as the
postMessage targetOrigin — both break the moment a frame is scheme-
upgraded (cached HSTS did exactly that): every nostr request was
silently dropped and replies to the stale origin threw. The bridge
now matches host+port (scheme deliberately ignored) and always
replies to event.origin — the frame's real origin.
Unit tests cover alias resolution (incl. bitcoin-knots→8334→https),
the conservative port-scan, and scheme-agnostic sender matching.
Converting Nginx Proxy Manager to a platform manifest (fc68c5b6) dropped
two things its image hard-requires, and the result was an endless
start/die loop — shorty-s watched it restart 3,176 times:
1. /etc/letsencrypt mount: NPM's s6 'prepare' service refuses to boot
without it ('ERROR: /etc/letsencrypt is not mounted!'). Mounted from
the same persistent app directory as before
(/var/lib/archipelago/nginx-proxy-manager/letsencrypt), so existing
certificates are preserved — no data moves, no migration.
2. NET_BIND_SERVICE: NPM's internal nginx listens on 80, 443 AND 81,
and the orchestrator runs --cap-drop=ALL. The legacy podman-run path
defaulted to the full capability set (and the legacy repair path in
package/config.rs always listed it), which is why this only broke
once the manifest became the source of truth.
The signed catalog embeds manifests with origin-wins semantics, so the
catalog carries the fix for every catalog-covered node — regenerate it
here (plus the generated store/launcher-port artifacts, which also pick
up drift from bf6ef964's retired apps). Catalog re-signing follows the
usual ceremony.
Upstream publishes no docker images; our v0.18.4 image was built in-house.
This pass: official v0.21.2-beta release binaries (sha256-verified against
the signed release manifest), static, on alpine with the same entrypoint
shape as our existing image, pushed to our registry and smoke-run.
LND 0.21 auto-migrates the channel DB on first start (keeping a backup) —
the Update button is user-initiated, never auto-applied.
First upstream sweep since v1.8.5: the safe patch/minor pins, mirrored
into our registry first (source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/*).
Held for their own careful passes: the majors (grafana 11, nextcloud,
uptime-kuma 2, bitcoin-core 29, the DBs) and consensus-sensitive apps
(fedimint, electrumx 2.0). LND 0.21.2 needs an in-house image build —
upstream publishes none.
Ollama's embedded manifest failed the typed parse (memory_limit wants a
string) so the catalog overlay was skipped for it; AdGuard Home's
conventional :3000 collided with Grafana's. The release gate now runs
the host-port collision test (repo_app_manifests_have_no_host_port_collisions)
so this class can never ship untested again.
