Quadlet renders --rm, so every stop DELETES the container: a scan during
the stop->start window legitimately sees nothing where an installed app
lives. The state layer treated that as the app not existing — after three
absent scans it removed the entry entirely, so dashboard tiles vanished
mid-restart, gate waits read 'absent' (grafana, at load ~2, ruling out
contention), and under daemon-restart churn the FIRST scan could publish
a completely empty My Apps map (observed twice on 2026-08-09).
Two guards, both keyed to the durable installed-apps.json registry:
- Eviction: an id the registry says is installed, and the user has not
uninstalled, is held as Stopped (health/exit cleared) instead of being
removed. The next scan that sees the container restores live state;
desired-state recovery still recreates genuinely lost containers; a
deliberate uninstall clears the registry first and still disappears.
- Empty scans: the first-scan exemption no longer applies when the
registry is non-empty — better to keep saying "scanning" than "empty".
Verified: scan-merge/absence/registry test filters 34/34.
Also carries the v1.7.127-alpha changelog (user-benefit entries for the
Tor self-heal, trusted invites, the three-layer mempool fix, vanishing
apps, the Bitcoin version pin, and the smaller UI fixes).

Rotating LND's macaroons was an SSH-only script, which in practice meant it did
not happen — while a macaroon is a bearer token with no revocation and no expiry,
so anything that ever read one keeps the ability to spend until they are
replaced. Settings → Lightning credentials now does it behind the node password,
shows a step checklist, and refuses to report success unless it has confirmed the
node identity and channel census are unchanged.
Three findings from performing a real rotation on a dev node, each fixed here:
1. BTCPay was left holding a dead credential, silently. Its connection string
carries the macaroon INLINE (LND's datadir is owned by its container subuid,
so btcpay cannot bind-mount the file), and the daemon only regenerates that
secret when LND's TLS cert thumbprint changes — which macaroon rotation does
not touch. Result: btcpay up, LND up, both healthy, every Lightning payment
failing, nothing anywhere saying why.
2. Rewriting the secret is not enough to fix it. `secret_env_hash` makes the
change visible as env drift, but the reconcile loop runs `ExistingOnly` at
boot AND periodically, and there it deliberately leaves running
restart-sensitive apps untouched — observed once per tick for half an hour on
the dev node. So this reuses FED-07's `credential_rotated` carve-out via a new
default-no-op `ContainerOrchestrator::mark_credential_rotated`, on the same
reasoning: restart sensitivity protects apps that are working, and this one is
working only in appearance. The shell script cannot reach an in-process flag,
so it removes the container and lets desired-state recovery rebuild it.
3. LND stayed locked forever on a loaded node. The unlocker is only served after
channel.db/graph.db/wallet.db open, measured at 2m38s on a box running 30
containers; the unlock helper gave up at ~60s. That is not a harmless retry —
reconcile records the post-start hook as failed, restarts LND, and the slow
open begins again, so the wallet never opens and every LND-dependent app stays
broken. The not-ready budget is now ~10 minutes; a genuinely wrong password
still exits on the first pass via `all_rejected`.
Safety properties worth not regressing:
- No macaroon content in any response, error, log line or the polled progress
feed — digests and byte counts only.
- Rotation unlocks via a new `unlock_existing_wallet_no_wipe`, so there is no
code path from "rotate my credentials" to `recreate_wallet_destructively`. A
wallet whose password this node lacks fails the rotation with the wallet intact.
- Channels are compared as active+inactive totals, not `num_active_channels`,
which legitimately dips after any restart while peers reconnect.
- Backup verified by file count before anything is deleted.
Verified: cargo check + fmt clean, 6 new unit tests and the 6 existing
container::lnd tests pass, vue-tsc clean, and the built bundle contains the three
new RPC method names (the frontend build can silently no-op).

Open-source readiness plan, Phase 1 items 3 and 5.
Item 3 turned out to be far narrower than the plan's "93 files" once each hit
was classified rather than bulk-replaced. Sanitized only genuine operator
identifiers:
- FIPS test fixtures and a pine_ha comment carried real node LAN addresses ->
RFC 5737 TEST-NET-1, the convention already used elsewhere in this repo.
- Real tailnet addresses in fips/endpoints.rs, mock-backend.js and the mesh
test runner -> the base of the CGNAT range, obviously synthetic.
- Incident comments in appgate/mod.rs and apps/fedimint/manifest.yml named a
specific node; the role is what carries the meaning, so the address is gone.
- CHANGELOG.md held five real addresses in published release notes — the most
exposed of the lot.
Deliberately NOT touched, because the plan's item-3 list is over-broad and
following it literally would break working code:
- 192.168.1.1 / .254, 192.168.0.0/16 and 100.64.0.0/10 are generic router
defaults, RFC1918 classification in backup_rpc, and CGNAT range logic in
pine_ha / CompanionIntroOverlay. Not leaked infra.
- `tx1138` is listed as a hostname to scrub but is two live things: the
user-facing default block explorer (`DEFAULT_TX_EXPLORER`) and
`RETIRED_TX1138_HOST`, the migration constant whose entire job is stripping
that retired registry from existing nodes' saved mirror lists. Scrubbing
either breaks a feature. The plan needs this correction.
- Android's `192.168.1.100` strings are UI placeholder text.
Item 5: added *.key, *.pem, id_rsa*, *.sqlite, *.db to .gitignore, with a
negation for core/archipelago/src/appgate/testdata/*.key. Checked those first —
they are documented throwaway TLS fixtures compiled in via include_bytes!, not
node identity — and the negation stops the new rule silently dropping them if
they are ever regenerated. Verified both directions: fixtures not ignored, a
stray key elsewhere caught.
Verified: residual grep for real infra addresses is clean; audit-secrets.sh
still 5/5; app-catalog drift 0 (the fedimint edit is a YAML comment, which does
not survive parsing into the signed catalog); 44/44 fips tests pass with the
rewritten assertion fixtures.
Note: these test runs shared the working tree with another agent's in-flight
LND work, which was present but unstaged and is not part of this commit.

create-release.sh builds the frontend at step 4 and validates the curated
changelog at step 5, then requires the freshly built bundle to contain the new
version. The version reaches the bundle only through the hand-written What's
New list, so on a fresh release that check can only pass if the changelog and
What's New entries are written BEFORE the script runs. Writing them after is
what aborted the first attempt.
Leads with the downgrade bug, since that is the one users saw: an Update button
offering the release withdrawn for an actively exploited 2FA bypass.

Operations docs move out of git entirely rather than being sanitized. They
stay on disk for local use and are gitignored, so the Phase 6 export (which
takes HEAD) can never carry them. 15 files: the fleet runbook, hotfix
process, node inventories, internal trackers, session handoffs, the key
rotation/signing-posture records, and the open-source plan itself.
For the docs that remain public, infra identifiers are replaced with things
that are better documentation rather than placeholders: curl examples now
use `archipelago.local`, the product's own mDNS name, so a reader can run
them as-is instead of substituting an address that was never theirs.
Deliberately NOT scrubbed, both verified as functional rather than leaked:
- `tx1138.com` is the shipped default block explorer (DEFAULT_TX_EXPLORER in
useTxExplorer.ts, surfaced in WalletSettingsModal). Product behavior.
- `git.tx1138.com` in core/container/{image_policy,registry}.rs is a retired-
registry constant the code matches on to strip stale entries from legacy
node configs. Removing it would break migration for older nodes.
- `192.168.1.254` in bulletproof-containers.md is the LAN gateway in a podman
bug description, and `192.168.1.x` in user-walkthrough.md is already generic.
Whether a personal domain should be the shipped explorer default in a public
product is a separate product question, not a security one.

Leads with the update that switched nodes off and left them unable to
switch back on — the one an operator most needs to understand, and the
reason to take this release promptly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Leads with the honest version: five screens were open and the previous
release's own audit reported them as fine, found by scanning from another
machine rather than asking the node. States plainly that what leaked was
the page, not credentials — the macaroon path was verified, not assumed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Leads with what changes for the operator: app screens now require the node
password across LAN, Tailscale, mesh and Tor; the wallet/protocol ports that
must stay open stayed open; the mesh leak found during on-node verification;
nodes repairing their own legacy containers; and the signing-key rotation.
Known gaps disclosed, including the eleven still-undeclared ports and that
non-browser clients will now meet the login page.
The new block uses <strong> rather than the literal ** markers in earlier
entries, which render as asterisks in the modal.

States plainly that the speed is unchanged — the fix gates the teleported
chrome, not the KeepAlive caching that made tab switching instant.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Leads with the reason to take the update: two ports handed anyone who
could reach them full control of the node's money. Written for an
operator, not a developer — what was exposed, who could reach it, and
what to treat as compromised.
Includes the gaps rather than burying them: the 5x lifecycle gate was not
run, two fleet nodes still share SSH host keys (rotation is a deliberate
operator decision, not an oversight), and Core can now reach Tor but is
not yet routed through it.
create-release.sh hard-fails without this section, so it lands before the
release run rather than during it.

create-release-manifest.sh's changelog extraction pulls every non-blank
line between the version header and the next "## ", not just "- "
bullets — so the previous commit's "### Known gap" markdown heading and
its paragraph leaked into releases/manifest.json (and, via
sync-whats-new.py, the Settings "What's New" modal) as a malformed,
truncated entry (the closing clarification sentence was cut by the
extractor's 10-line cap).
Rewritten as a single "- " bullet, matching every other CHANGELOG entry,
so it renders cleanly and completely in both the OTA manifest and the
in-app modal instead of showing raw "### " syntax to node operators.
Also folds in core/Cargo.lock's version bump, which create-release.sh's
own commit step omits from its `git add` list.
Same binary/frontend artifacts as the prior commit (identical sha256/
size in the regenerated manifest) — only the changelog text changed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
scripts/sync-whats-new.py --check (part of the release gate) requires
every CHANGELOG version to have a matching block in the Settings
"What's New" modal. Also strips CHANGELOG markdown bold/italic markup
from the v1.7.119-alpha bullets first — the modal renderer only
strips backticks, not **/* emphasis, so it would have leaked literal
asterisks into the user-facing modal text.

Written ahead of create-release.sh, which validates a curated
CHANGELOG.md section already exists rather than generating one.
Leads with FED-08 (private-channel invoice route hints) and FED-09
(doctor/Tor setgid restart-loop fix), covers phase-02 sessionStorage
security hardening and the PWA auto-update decision, and records the
5x lifecycle gate omission (node .228 unreachable) as a known gap
rather than a footnote.

Rewrites the prepared 1.7.117 section to include the mesh flash flow,
first-class Reticulum fixes, radio-first routing, mesh chat polish, the
transactions-modal phone fixes, services-vs-apps classification, the
lightning slow-payment fix, cached-resource page loads, load-shedding,
FIPS uptime hardening, and companion 0.5.25. What's New modal block
regenerated from the new bullets (sync-whats-new --check passes).

Bundles all post-115 fixes into an OTA release: boot READY-before-recovery

fips::config::install() now writes /etc/fips/fips.d/80-web-ui.nft
(tcp 80/8443 accept) and reloads the baseline on every install/upgrade —
the hardening firewall default-denies inbound on fips0 and the UI was
unreachable over the mesh without it (root-caused live 2026-07-26).

The release gate requires ≥3 curated changelog bullets; the Pine app is
user-facing and deserved one anyway. Carries the version bumps and manifest

Supersedes the unpublished v1.7.107. Covers the multi-anchor FIPS fix, WiFi
self-heal, mesh fast-rejoin, kiosk TV-scaling, kiosk dark theme / VT hints /
UTF-8 logo / power-button hardening, and the ISO build fixes.

The ISO built FIPS from an unpinned --depth 1 clone of upstream main, so
every build shipped whatever happened to be on main that day. Pin to
v0.4.1 via a FIPS_VERSION build arg — the version fips/config.rs renders
its typed config against, and the one validated in the field on .198 and
the thinkpad. The pin lands inside the STEP 1 recipe-hash range, so the
cached rootfs correctly invalidates on the next build.

The v1.8.00-alpha changelog section never shipped as an OTA (no tag, live

The kiosk attached-display showed a separate app-tile launcher grid
(Kiosk.vue at /kiosk) instead of the normal onboarding/login/dashboard.
The grid is auth-gated, so it only surfaced once the kiosk browser held a
persisted session; otherwise it bounced to login — masking the issue.
Remove the grid entirely. /kiosk now just persists kiosk mode + safe-area
insets and redirects to the root app. The launcher keeps pointing at
/kiosk (not directly at /) so the 'kiosk' localStorage flag is still set —
App.vue uses it to skip the remote relay, which would otherwise double
xdotool input on the kiosk display. Route made public so the auth guard
doesn't bounce it before the redirect runs.
