fix(fips): P0 uptime fixes — open peer port 5679, allow /blob+/dwn, fix LAN anchor port, un-deaden direct peering, fast-fail budgets

Phase A1 of docs/FIPS-UPTIME-AND-UI-STATE-PLAN.md — the five changes that
made FIPS fall back to Tor even when a FIPS path existed:

- RC0: the fips.d drop-in now opens PEER_PORT 5679 (was 80+8443 only, so
  every hardened node firewalled peers' FIPS dials; 28k drops on .198)
- RC4: /blob/ and /dwn/ added to the peer-path allowlist — mesh file
  sharing and DWN sync were 404 → 100% Tor by construction
- RC2-G2: lan_fips_anchors dials PUBLISHED_UDP_PORT (2121) instead of the
  dead 8668, with a drift-guard test against the rendered daemon config
- RC2-G1: direct LAN peering actually runs now — mDNS TXT advertises the
  FIPS npub, discovery calls set_fips_npub, and the anchor tick hydrates
  npubs from federation storage for peers on older builds
- RC3: FIPS attempt budget is a hard cap (retry no longer doubles it) and
  the 12 hot call sites get explicit fips_timeout fast-fail so Tor keeps
  its full budget (browse-peer, preview, /blob, DWN, node-message,
  rotation notifies)

 # Changelog
 
-## v1.7.112-alpha (2026-07-22)
+## v1.7.117-alpha (2026-07-27)
 
+- FIPS startup is more reliable on nodes that have the packaged `fips.service` instead of Archipelago's `archipelago-fips.service`. Startup self-heal, onboarding, dashboard Start, and reconnect now use the systemd unit the node actually has, so FIPS no longer looks like it needs to be installed when it only needs to be started.
+- App screens over the FIPS mesh now bind their relay only to the node's FIPS address instead of reserving the same host ports Podman needs. This keeps apps such as FileBrowser and Botfights from restart-looping because the backend was already holding their published ports.
+- Companion WebView safe-area handling now also moves fixed and sticky top bars below the phone status bar, including headers mounted after page load by single-page apps.
+- Public-source preparation now includes a Nostr Git hosting plan using `ngit`, NIP-34, and GRASP: anyone can clone, fork, review, and propose changes from their Archipelago node, while canonical merge authority stays with a small signed maintainer set in the style of Bitcoin Core.
+- Node OS release notes for v1.7.117 are still open; add any installer, service, kernel, firewall, or package changes here before cutting the release.
+
+## v1.7.116-alpha (2026-07-27)
+
+- Nodes no longer get stuck on "server starting up" after an update or reboot. On a node running many apps, the backend used to spend minutes recovering containers before it told the system it was ready, and anything that touched it during that window could leave it down for good. It now reports ready immediately and recovers in the background, and it always restarts itself if it ever does go down.
+- Installing apps no longer crashes the node. A change that made app screens reachable over the mesh was accidentally holding onto every app's network port in advance — so installing an app like Grafana, Photoprism, Uptime Kuma, or Jellyfin collided with it and the port-cleanup step took the whole backend down, rolling the install back. Installs are now clean and the backend can never be caught by that cleanup.
+- Rolls up everything from v1.7.115: app screens and the dashboard load over the mesh out of the box (firewall openings shipped automatically, IPv6 support end to end), and nodes rejoin the mesh in seconds after their rendezvous point restarts.
+
+## v1.7.115-alpha (2026-07-26)
+
+- The companion app can reach your node's screen from anywhere again. The recent security hardening locked down the node's mesh interface so tightly that the dashboard itself was blocked — the phone would pair and connect, then sit on a blank screen. The node now explicitly opens its own web interface (and only that) through the mesh firewall on every install and upgrade, so the phone's view of your node works out of the box, on any network, and can't silently break in a future update.
+- The node's web interface also answers on IPv6 everywhere it answers on IPv4 — the mesh runs entirely on IPv6, and one v4-only listener was enough to make a working connection show nothing.
+- Nodes now come back onto the mesh in seconds instead of minutes after their rendezvous anchor restarts: the fast-reconnect tuning proven on the phone this week is now baked into every node's mesh configuration, and it survives upgrades.
+
+## v1.7.114-alpha (2026-07-26)
+
+- Plugging in a mesh radio no longer traps it in an endless reboot loop. The device detector itself was causing it: every scan pulsed the radio's reset line, the same board was probed twice under two names, and retries came so fast the radio never finished booting before the next reset hit. Detection now gives the board real time to boot, probes it once, backs off properly between attempts, and no longer fights the "device detected" popup for the port. Radios that could never connect now come up within a minute of being plugged in.
+- The Lightning channels screen now has All / Active / Pending / Closed tabs. Pending gathers everything in motion (opening, closing, force-closing — each with its own status dot and a link to the closing transaction), and Closed is a real history: how each channel ended, what settled back to you, and the closing transaction for each.
+- Sending bitcoin on-chain now puts you in charge of the network fee: pick Fast, Standard, or Slow (Standard is the default), or set your own target blocks or sats-per-vByte. The confirmation step shows the estimated fee for your chosen speed before any money moves.
+- Type on-chain amounts in whichever unit you think in — a sats/BTC switch on the amount field converts as you type.
+- Back up your seed by scanning it. Every recovery-phrase screen (onboarding, Settings, and the Lightning wallet seed) now has Words and QR code tabs — words always shown first. The QR for your node's recovery phrase uses the SeedQR standard, so hardware wallets like Passport Prime, SeedSigner, and Keystone can import it with a single scan (a plain-text option remains for wallets that read the phrase as text). The Lightning seed's QR is plain text with an honest note: it's an LND-format seed that restores into Lightning wallets like Zeus or Blixt, not into hardware wallets.
+
+## v1.7.113-alpha (2026-07-25)
+
+- Fixed a money bug in Cashu ecash sends: the token you handed a recipient could carry your own change proofs along with it, letting the same sats be credited twice. Change now stays in your wallet — only the amount you meant to send leaves it.
+- Closing a Lightning channel is no longer a leap of faith. The close used to hang (or time out with an error) even though it had actually gone through; it now comes back within seconds with the closing transaction ID. Channels mid-close appear in the channel list as Closing or Force-closing with their transaction attached, and a new closed-channels history keeps past closes visible instead of letting them vanish from the list.
+- The wallet card now leads with your total bitcoin across everything, and the on-chain balance gets its own chain icon so the rows read at a glance.
+- The companion phone app (0.5.15) connects dramatically faster away from home: a cold connect over 5G dropped from 40+ seconds to about 5. First connects no longer stall on unreachable mesh dial hints, fresh joins fail fast and retry instead of waiting out long timeouts, and the phone re-announces itself the moment the network around it changes. The node side's mesh-join handling was hardened to match.
+
+## v1.7.112-alpha (2026-07-23)
+
+- Sound works on TVs out of the box. Fresh installs were missing the audio system entirely, and even when present a boot-time race left HDMI silent until the cable was unplugged and replugged. Both are fixed: installer images now ship the full audio stack, and a small background helper detects the silent-HDMI state and heals it automatically.
+- Plug in a game controller and drive the whole TV interface with it — navigation, menus, and media playback all respond to the gamepad, and dialogs that pop up are controller-navigable too.
+- The companion phone app took a huge leap (0.5.9). Your node and its apps now work from anywhere — on 5G or any internet connection, the phone reaches the node over the encrypted mesh with zero port forwarding or VPN setup. Startup away from home is instant, apps on your node open inside the app, the phone's native camera handles QR scanning, and a branded full-screen loader shows while the mesh connects.
+- Mesh Party: two phones scan each other's QR and instantly get a direct encrypted chat and app sharing between them — plus a "Share this app" QR that anyone can scan with a normal camera to install the companion app.
+- Pairing a second phone no longer silently logs out the first. Every device now keeps its own named access credential, ending the mystery reconnects when a household paired more than one phone.
+- The companion pairing QR is scannable again (it had grown too dense for phone cameras) and now identifies your node by its identity key, so the app recognizes your node even after it moves or gets a new address.
+- Every app your node serves on your home network is now also reachable over the mesh — remote access covers the apps themselves, not just the dashboard.
+- Selling files: you now choose which payment methods you accept (Lightning, ecash, …) and buyers are only offered those — enforced by the node itself, not just the buttons. Paying twice for the same file is impossible now, purchases file themselves into a new Paid Files tab, purchased music always plays in the bottom-bar player, and videos get picture-in-picture.
+- Sending Lightning is invoice-first: paste or scan an invoice and the amount fills in and locks by itself. An expired invoice now tells you plainly to ask for a fresh one instead of failing cryptically, and payment errors always reach your screen.
+- Sending to a pasted address gets a confirmation step showing exactly what will happen before any money moves, and buying ecash is an explicit two-step — no more accidental purchases.
+- Apps keep running when you change how they're displayed. Switching an app between windowed and fullscreen used to reload it from scratch (stopping any playing media); the app now stays live through the switch, and each app remembers its own preferred display mode.
+- A watchdog notices when the Lightning (LND) node wedges and revives it before you do; Fedi ecash gets its own send option with scannable token QR codes.
+- Fedimint's Lightning gateway and guardian now follow whichever bitcoin version is actually running instead of pointing at a stale address — switching bitcoin versions no longer strands them.
+- If your router starts handing out different addresses, the Pine voice speaker re-links itself automatically instead of staying silent until someone re-configures it.
+- Polish: mesh radios never show garbled device names anymore, the TV kiosk uses slim overlay scrollbars instead of fat grey bars, and the AI chat's background artwork shows through again.
 - Your mesh messages now survive restarts. Chat history — channels and DMs alike — used to live only in memory, so a reboot or update wiped every conversation; worse, other nodes silently discarded the first messages you sent after a reboot. Everything is now saved on the node and restored on startup, and post-reboot messages deliver reliably.
 - Plug in any LoRa radio and the node walks you through it. A setup window appears every time a radio is connected, shows what firmware is already on it (MeshCore, Meshtastic, or Reticulum RNode — with its current name, region, and channels where available), and offers two honest choices: "Set Up with Archipelago Settings" (a preview screen shows exactly what will be written before anything touches the radio) or "Keep As Is" (the radio is used untouched, and you can hot-swap radios freely). Swapping sticks mid-session now just works — including Reticulum RNodes, which fresh installer images now support out of the box.
 - Incoming bitcoin appears in your wallet within seconds of being sent — balance and the yellow "unconfirmed" entry update live, no refresh, no waiting for the next poll.

 # Contributing to Archipelago
 
-Thank you for your interest in contributing to Archipelago! This document covers the process for contributing code, reporting bugs, and submitting apps.
+This project is preparing for public developer contribution. The highest-value
+contributions are focused fixes, tests, app manifests, documentation
+improvements, and clear bug reports with reproducible evidence.
 
-## Code of Conduct
+## Development setup
 
-Be respectful. We follow the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/).
-
-## Getting Started
-
-1. Fork the repository on the project's Gitea instance
-2. Clone your fork: `git clone <your-fork-url>/archy.git`
-3. Set up the dev environment (see `docs/developer-guide.md`)
-4. Create a feature branch: `git checkout -b feature/your-feature`
-
-## Development Setup
-
-### Frontend (Vue.js)
+### Frontend
 
 ```bash
 cd neode-ui
 npm install
-npm start          # Dev server on :8100
-npm run type-check # TypeScript validation
-npm run build      # Production build
-npm test           # Run tests
+npm start
+npm run type-check
+npm test
 ```
 
-### Backend (Rust)
-
-Build on a Linux server (Debian 13), **not** macOS:
+### Backend
 
 ```bash
-cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features
-cargo fmt --all
+cd core
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
 cargo test --all-features
 ```
 
-### Deploy to dev server
+Linux is required for host integration work involving Podman, systemd,
+networking, or image builds. Frontend development works locally with the mock
+backend.
+
+## App manifests
+
+App packages live under `apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml` and use the schema
+documented in [docs/app-manifest-spec.md](docs/app-manifest-spec.md). Validate
+before submitting:
 
 ```bash
-./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live
+./scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml
+python3 scripts/generate-app-catalog.py
+python3 scripts/check-app-catalog-drift.py --release --strict
 ```
 
-## Code Style
+App submissions must:
 
-### Frontend (TypeScript + Vue)
+- pin container image versions;
+- avoid hardcoded secrets;
+- use `security.no_new_privileges: true`;
+- use `security.readonly_root: true` unless the manifest explains why writable
+  root is required;
+- request only necessary Linux capabilities;
+- store durable data under `/var/lib/archipelago/<app-id>/`;
+- define truthful health checks and launch interfaces for user-facing UIs.
 
-- `<script setup lang="ts">` — always Composition API
-- TypeScript strict mode — no `any`, use `unknown` or proper types
-- Global CSS classes in `src/style.css` — never inline Tailwind in components
-- Pinia for state management — focused single-purpose stores
-- Use `@/api/rpc-client.ts` for RPC calls

+- Rust: prefer `?` over `unwrap()`/`expect()` in production paths.
+- Rust: use `tracing` for structured logs.
+- TypeScript: avoid `any`; use explicit types or `unknown`.
+- Vue: prefer `<script setup lang="ts">`.
+- Keep changes scoped; do not mix drive-by refactors with behavioral changes.
+- Remove dead code rather than commenting it out.
+- Add tests for new behavior and regression tests for bug fixes.
 
-- No `unwrap()` or `expect()` in production code — use `?` operator
-- `thiserror` for library errors, `anyhow` for application errors
-- `tracing` for structured logging — never `println!`
-- Run `cargo clippy` and `cargo fmt` before commits
+## Pull requests
 
-### General
+1. Open one focused PR per behavior or documentation change.
+2. Explain what changed, why it changed, and how it was verified.
+3. Include screenshots for UI changes.
+4. Link relevant issues or docs.
+5. Keep generated catalog changes in sync with manifest changes.
 
-- Functions under 50 lines, single responsibility
-- Comment WHY not WHAT
-- Remove dead code — never comment it out
-- No `TODO`/`FIXME` in commits
+Suggested commit format:

-## Philosophy
+## What is here
 
-Archipelago is being built as a **developer-ready app platform**, not a fixed appliance:
+- `core/` - Rust workspace: backend API, container runtime, security, OpenWrt
+  helpers, and performance/resource management.
+- `neode-ui/` - Vue 3 + TypeScript frontend.
+- `apps/` - app manifests and custom app container sources.
+- `docker/` - supporting container build contexts for UI companion surfaces.
+- `image-recipe/` - bootable image/ISO build inputs.
+- `Android/` - Android companion app.
+- `scripts/` - development, release, deployment, and validation tooling.
+- `docs/` - architecture, app packaging, operations, API, and roadmap docs.
 
-- **Manifest-driven apps.** Every app is declared in a single `manifest.yml` — image, ports, volumes, secrets, health checks, security policy. The orchestrator owns the entire lifecycle; there is no per-app installer code and no host-level provisioning.
-- **Signed distribution.** App manifests ship inside an Ed25519-signed catalog verified against a pinned release-root key, not as loose files on disk. OTA release manifests are signed the same way.
-- **Decentralized marketplace.** Third-party developers publish apps via Nostr-based discovery (NIP-78) with DID-signed manifests and federation-weighted trust scoring — no gatekept central store.
-- **Rootless and secure by default.** Rootless Podman only. Read-only root, no-new-privileges, capability allow-list, secrets materialised 0600 and never logged. Never rootful, never a Docker socket mount.
-- **100%-uptime-capable.** Every container is a systemd Quadlet unit under `user.slice` that survives backend restarts; a level-triggered reconciler self-heals drift every 30 seconds; migrations never destroy data.
+## Platform model
 
-## Features
+Archipelago is built as a developer-ready app platform, not a fixed appliance:
 
-### Bitcoin Infrastructure
-- **Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots** full nodes with per-app version pinning and bulletproof version switching, automatic prune/full mode based on disk size
-- **LND** and **Core Lightning** with channel management
-- **ElectrumX** Electrum server for wallet connectivity
-- **BTCPay Server** for accepting Bitcoin payments
-- **Mempool** block explorer and fee estimator
-- **Fedimint** federation guardian, gateway, and client — plus Cashu ecash wallet support
+- Apps are declared in `apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml`.
+- The Rust parser in `core/container/src/manifest.rs` is the canonical schema.
+- The orchestrator compiles manifests to rootless Podman/Quadlet runtime state.
+- App data lives under `/var/lib/archipelago/<app-id>/`.
+- Secrets are generated or read from `/var/lib/archipelago/secrets/` and
+  injected through Podman secrets rather than static environment values.
+- Release and app catalogs are signed and verified against a pinned trust
+  anchor.
 
-### Self-Hosted Apps (50+)
-Storage (FileBrowser, Immich, Nextcloud), Productivity (Vaultwarden), Media (Jellyfin, PhotoPrism, IndeeHub), Search (SearXNG), Network (NetBird, Tailscale), Home (Home Assistant), Nostr (nostr-rs-relay, strfry), Dev/Ops (Gitea, Grafana, Portainer, Uptime Kuma), and more — 27 curated in the store UI, 50+ packaged as manifests.
+Start with:
 
-### Mesh Networking (tri-protocol)
-- **Meshtastic**, **MeshCore**, and **Reticulum (RNS/LXMF)** LoRa transports behind one mesh chat UI
-- End-to-end encryption with X3DH key agreement + double-ratchet
-- RNode radio support with an OS-level `archy-rnodeconf` tool; interop verified against Sideband
-- Image/voice attachments, mesh AI assistant (`!ai`), Bitcoin balance relay over mesh

-### Decentralized Identity
-- Ed25519 node identity with DID Documents (did:key)
-- Multi-identity management (Personal/Business/Anonymous)
-- W3C Verifiable Credentials issuance and verification
-- Nostr integration: NIP-33 node discovery, NIP-44/NIP-04 encryption, NIP-07 signer bridge for iframe apps, relay hosting
-- Decentralized Web Node (DWN) record sync between federated nodes over Tor
+## Quick start
 
-### Multi-Node Federation
-- Invite-based node joining over Tor hidden services
-- Trust levels (Trusted/Verified/Untrusted) with DID-based auth
-- State sync and app deployment across federated nodes
-- File sharing with access controls (free/peers-only/paid via Lightning, on-chain, or ecash)
-
-### System Updates
-- OTA updates from a self-hosted Gitea release server, Ed25519-signature-verified against a pinned release-root key
-- Resumable downloads, automatic pre-update backup, rollback with a post-update self-verify window
-- Manual, scheduled-check, and auto-apply modes (auto-apply refuses unsigned manifests)
-
-### Security
-- Argon2id password hashing (transparent upgrade from legacy hashes), ChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypted secrets at rest
-- Rootless Podman: read-only root, cap-drop ALL with a reviewed allow-list, no-new-privileges
-- Signed release manifests and signed app catalog (Ed25519, pinned trust anchor)
-- TOTP two-factor authentication, per-endpoint rate limiting, CSRF protection
-- AppArmor profiles for container confinement; Tor hidden services for inter-node traffic
-- Independent security audit of an early version archived in [`docs/archive/`](docs/archive/security-code-audit-2026-03.md); top findings since remediated
-
-## Roadmap
-
-**Done**
-- Single-node production gate **green** — install / stop / start / restart / reinstall / reboot-survive / uninstall, 5 consecutive full runs with zero failures on real hardware
-- Quadlet migration validated (all backends as `user.slice` services on the canary node)
-- Release signing ceremony completed — release-root key pinned, catalog and OTA manifests signed
-- Reticulum third mesh transport (real-RF LoRa gates passed), Bitcoin Core/Knots multi-version switching, decentralized marketplace backend, public demo
-
-**In progress**
-- Multinode pass: the same production gate across the whole test fleet ([`docs/multinode-testing-plan.md`](docs/multinode-testing-plan.md))
-- Quadlet default flip fleet-wide + container-flapping elimination
-- 1.8.0 release hardening tail ([`docs/1.8.0-RELEASE-HARDENING-PLAN.md`](docs/1.8.0-RELEASE-HARDENING-PLAN.md)): OTA upgrade soak on real hardware, ISO/image hardening (per-device keys, no default creds, signed ISO)
-
-**Planned**
-- Developer CLI (`archy app validate/render/install/test`) to open third-party app publishing
-- External marketplace trust UX + publishing tooling ([`docs/marketplace-protocol.md`](docs/marketplace-protocol.md))
-- DHT/P2P distribution of releases and app images ([`docs/dht-distribution-design.md`](docs/dht-distribution-design.md))
-- P2P encrypted voice/video over Tor, dual-ecash (Fedimint + Cashu) phases, paid streaming, hardware signer support
-
-The live, priority-ordered task list is [`docs/UNIFIED-TASK-TRACKER.md`](docs/UNIFIED-TASK-TRACKER.md); the full narrative plan is [`docs/PRODUCTION-MASTER-PLAN.md`](docs/PRODUCTION-MASTER-PLAN.md).
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Install from ISO
-
-1. Build or download the ISO for your architecture (x86_64 or ARM64) — see [`image-recipe/`](image-recipe/)
-2. Flash to USB drive with Balena Etcher or `dd`
-3. Boot from USB on target hardware and follow the automated installer
-4. Access the web UI at `http://<device-ip>`
-5. Set your password and complete the onboarding wizard (seed backup, DID identity)
-
-### Supported Hardware
-
-| Platform | Examples | Minimum |
-|----------|----------|---------|
-| **x86_64** | Intel NUC, mini PCs, any 64-bit PC | 4GB RAM, 32GB storage |
-| **ARM64** | Raspberry Pi 5, ARM64 SBCs | 4GB RAM, 32GB storage |
-
-**Recommended**: 8GB+ RAM, 1TB+ NVMe SSD (for a full Bitcoin node). Optional: an RNode-compatible LoRa radio for mesh networking.
-
-## Development
-
-### Prerequisites
-- macOS or Linux for frontend development
-- Linux dev server (Debian 13) for backend builds — **never build Rust on macOS for Linux**
-- Node.js 20+, Rust stable toolchain
-
-### Frontend Development
+### Frontend
 
 ```bash
 cd neode-ui
 npm install
-npm start          # Dev server on http://localhost:8100 (mock backend on :5959)
-npm run type-check # TypeScript validation
-npm run build      # Production build → web/dist/neode-ui/
+npm start
 ```
 
-### Backend Development
+The dev UI runs at `http://localhost:8100` with a mock backend on `:5959`.
+
+### Backend
 
 ```bash
-cd core            # Rust workspace root (no Cargo.toml at repo root)
+cd core
 cargo build
-cargo test
+cargo test --all-features
 ```
 
-### Deploy to a Test Node
+Linux is the supported backend runtime and release-build target. macOS is fine
+for frontend work and many Rust compile/test loops, but host integration tests
+that touch Podman, systemd, networking, or image build paths require Linux.
+
+### App manifests
 
 ```bash
-./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live   # Deploy to primary dev server
-./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --both   # Deploy to both LAN servers
+./scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh apps/filebrowser/manifest.yml
+python3 scripts/generate-app-catalog.py
+python3 scripts/check-app-catalog-drift.py --release --strict
 ```
 
-### Release (tarball-only)
+`scripts/generate-app-catalog.py` requires Python with PyYAML installed.
 
-Releases ship as a backend binary and a frontend tarball referenced by
-`releases/manifest.json`, published to the self-hosted Gitea release server.
-
-```bash
-./scripts/create-release.sh 1.2.3
-git push origin main --tags
-```

 ## Integration Checklist
 
-Adding a new app requires updates in multiple places. See the full checklist in [CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md) under "App Integration Checklist".
+Adding a new app requires updates in multiple places:
+
+- add `apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml`;
+- add a Dockerfile and source directory only when the app is built locally;
+- choose non-conflicting ports from [PORTS.md](./PORTS.md);
+- declare `interfaces.main` for user-facing web UIs;
+- declare generated secrets instead of hardcoding credentials;
+- run `./scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml`;
+- regenerate catalogs with `python3 scripts/generate-app-catalog.py`;
+- verify drift with `python3 scripts/check-app-catalog-drift.py --release --strict`;
+- test install, launch, stop, start, restart, uninstall, and reinstall.

+# FIPS near-100% uptime + optimistic UI state — implementation plan
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-27. **Status:** researched + root-caused live on the fleet; ready to
+implement for the next release. Two workstreams: (A) make node↔node FIPS transport
+succeed whenever a FIPS path physically exists, (B) stop the UI reloading everything
+on every navigation (optimistic/cached cards, stale-while-revalidate) while keeping
+data fresh.
+
+**Honesty note on "100%":** if a node's network blackholes every anchor (the .116
+WiFi case, `docs/HANDOFF-2026-07-20-fips-peer-files.md:117-133`), Tor fallback is
+*correct*. The achievable target is: **FIPS wins whenever a FIPS path exists, and
+fallback frequency is measured in-product so regressions are visible.** Today several
+paths are 0% FIPS *by construction* regardless of network health — that's the bug.
+
+---
+
+## Part A — why Cloud/FIPS "commonly falls back to Tor": ranked root causes
+
+All verified live on 2026-07-27 (.116 local, .198, .228, Framework PT, x250s) plus a
+full code audit of `core/archipelago/src/{fips,transport,federation,server.rs}`.
+
+### RC0 — 🔥 The hardening firewall drops the peer-API port on every hardened node (PROVEN)
+
+The fips0 default-deny baseline (`/etc/fips/fips.nft`) is opened by archipelago's
+drop-in `80-web-ui.nft` (`fips/config.rs:236-255`) for **80 + 8443 + app ports only**.
+The peer-API listener — which carries *all* federation sync, cloud browse/download,
+mesh envelopes, DWN, invoices — is **`PEER_PORT = 5679`** (`fips/dial.rs:35`).
+**5679 is not in the allowlist.** The drop-in's own comment claims "web UI + peer
+API" but the peer API port was never added.
+
+Live proof (2026-07-27):
+- .116 nft chain: 5,965 dropped packets; .198: **28,670 dropped packets** — that's
+  peers' FIPS dials dying at the firewall.
+- .198 → .116 `GET :5679/health`: **timeout (6s)** before; **HTTP 200 in 0.35s**
+  after `nft insert rule inet fips inbound iifname fips0 tcp dport 5679 accept`.
+  Same result in reverse direction (200 in 0.64s).
+- Explains the exact fleet split in `federation/nodes.json`: hardened-baseline nodes
+  (Framework PT, .198, .228, x250-dev, x250-mad2) = `last_transport: tor`;
+  non-hardened nodes (Austin Sapien, X250-Beta, X250-PA) answer :5679 (404 from the
+  path allowlist = listener reachable) = `last_transport: fips`.
+- Every dial to a hardened peer pays the 8s FIPS connect timeout
+  (`dial.rs:114`) ×2 (retry, `dial.rs:128-140`) → then Tor. That's the "Cloud takes
+  forever / shows Tor" experience.
+
+**Fix (one line + reload):** add `tcp dport 5679 accept` to the drop-in in
+`fips/config.rs` (use a constant shared with `dial.rs::PEER_PORT`, not a literal).
+The drop-in reinstalls on every daemon config install, so it heals fleet-wide on OTA.
+⚠️ Transient manual rules were inserted on .116 and .198 during diagnosis (2026-07-27)
+— they vanish on the next `nft -f /etc/fips/fips.nft` reload or reboot; the code fix
+makes them permanent.
+
+### RC1 — .228 (Shorty's) runs fips 0.3.0-dev; the 0.4.1 fleet can't reach it
+
+.228's daemon: `0.3.0-dev (rev 34e00b9f6e)`, both anchor links "connected", but its
+ULA is 100% unreachable from 0.4.1 nodes (ping loss 100%). FIPS wire format is not
+stable across revs (`docs/HANDOFF-2026-07-23-companion-apk-deploy.md:78`). Everything
+to/from .228 rides Tor no matter what else we fix.
+
+**Fix:** fleet fips-version audit + upgrade to v0.4.1 everywhere (in-product updater
+exists: `fips/update.rs`; .deb path per `reference_vps2_fips_anchor`). Add a version
+check to `fips.status` and surface a "peer daemon outdated" warning.
+
+### RC2 — Direct LAN/endpoint peering is dead code + wrong port + stale seed anchors
+
+Without direct links, all peer traffic hairpins through the vps2 anchor spanning
+tree (observed: .116→.198 cold RTT 1.5–3.5s on the same LAN; also the wedged-anchor
+latency-rot incident, `HANDOFF-2026-07-23:141-160`).
+
+- **G1 — `lan_fips_anchors()` has never run.** It needs `PeerRecord.fips_npub`, but
+  `PeerRegistry::set_fips_npub` (`transport/mod.rs:302`) has **zero callers** — mDNS
+  TXT records only carry `did`/`pubkey`/`version` (`transport/lan.rs:50-54`). So the
+  "co-located peers form a direct link" feature (`anchors.rs:294-305`,
+  `server.rs:761-766`) is a fleet-wide no-op.
+- **G2 — wrong UDP port.** `anchors.rs:293` dials `8668`, but the generated
+  fips.yaml binds UDP **2121** (`fips/config.rs:187`, `fips/mod.rs:130`). Even if G1
+  ran, it would dial a dead port. `.116`'s live `seed-anchors.json` still carries
+  `.198@192.168.1.198:8668` — **stale IP (LAN renumbered to 192.168.63.x) AND dead
+  port**; both manual entries are useless today.
+- No Tailscale/alternate endpoint fallback when LAN is unreachable (the .116↔.198
+  fix of 2026-07-20 was hand-applied per-node config, never productized).
+
+**Fix:** (a) `FIPS_UDP_PORT` → `crate::fips::PUBLISHED_UDP_PORT` + drift-guard test;
+(b) hydrate `fips_npub` into the registry from federation storage (did-keyed join) so
+`lan_fips_anchors` goes live with no wire change; (c) advertise the npub in the mDNS
+TXT + `set_fips_npub` on resolve as the proper fix; (d) teach the LAN-anchor tick to
+also try a peer's Tailscale/last-known-good endpoint when LAN fails (reviewed change
+— this area got handoffs wrong twice, per memory).
+
+### RC3 — No fast-fail on the hottest call sites; retry silently doubles every budget
+
+- `content.browse-peer` — **the Cloud page** — has NO `fips_timeout`
+  (`api/rpc/content.rs:363-366`): a cold FIPS path burns up to ~16.6s (8s connect +
+  600ms + 8s retry) before Tor even starts, against a UI deadline of 30s
+  (`Cloud.vue:720`) — and the frontend then retries ×3. Users see errors, not
+  fallback. 12 call sites total lack `fips_timeout` (browse/download/preview-peer,
+  `/blob`, DWN, node_message, rotation notifies).
+- `dial.rs:128-140` runs 2 full-budget attempts, so `fips_timeout(6s)` really means
+  ~12.6s everywhere.
+
+**Fix:** wrap `send_with_retry` in a single `tokio::time::timeout(fips_attempt_timeout())`
+(call sites `dial.rs:455`, `dial.rs:488`; halve per-attempt client timeout), then add
+`.fips_timeout(...)`: `content.rs:366` (6s), `content.rs:281` (8s), `content.rs:1139`
+(6s), `typed_messages.rs:822` (8s), `dwn_sync.rs:188/213/272` (6s),
+`node_message.rs:376` (8s), `node_message.rs:412` (4s), `tor/mod.rs:501` (6s),
+`federation/handlers.rs:869` (6s). **Skip the three 900s streaming downloads**
+(`content.rs:552/870/1061`, `proxy.rs:236`) — `dial.rs:311-319` documents why; the
+retry-budget wrap covers their connect phase.
+
+### RC4 — Two features are 100% Tor by construction (allowlist 404)
+
+The peer listener path allowlist (`server.rs:1219-1239`) omits `/blob/<cid>` (mesh
+file sharing, `typed_messages.rs:813-822`) and `/dwn/health` (step 1 of DWN sync,
+`dwn_sync.rs:186`) → deterministic 404 over FIPS (`dial.rs:44-46` treats 404 as
+fall-back) → deterministic Tor, after paying the full FIPS cost. Both endpoints are
+already cryptographically gated, so they meet the allowlist's stated criterion.
+
+**Fix:** add `|| path.starts_with("/blob/") || path.starts_with("/dwn/")`; extend the
+existing test block at `server.rs:1935-1945` (assert `/blob/abc` + `/dwn/health`
+allowed, `/blobber` + `/dwnx` denied).
+
+### RC5 — Inbound listener can't heal; anchor flap = 5-minute Tor window; probe overhead
+
+- `peer_late_bind_loop` returns after first successful bind (`server.rs:1203`) and
+  `accept_loop` `continue`s on errors forever (`server.rs:1249-1258`): a fips0
+  teardown/re-key leaves the node inbound-dead until process restart → **every peer**
+  falls back to Tor against it.
+- Nothing reacts to anchor-link drops: anchors re-apply only on the 300s tick
+  (`server.rs:731`); worst-case 5min Tor-only after a flap (the historic "link dead
+  timeout 30s" flapping made this chronic).
+- `is_service_active()` spawns up to 2 `systemctl` per FIPS attempt *and* per peer
+  per 25s warm tick (`dial.rs:284-294`); `warm_path` skips peers without
+  `fips_npub` in federation storage (`fips/mod.rs:88-95`); `anchors::apply` is
+  serial with unbounded subprocess waits (`anchors.rs:234-283`).
+
+**Fix:** rebindable listener; a ~25s connectivity watcher (reuse
+`service::peer_connectivity_summary`, `fips/service.rs:178-207`) that re-applies
+anchors immediately on a connected→disconnected edge with bounded backoff; 10s TTL
+cache for `is_service_active` (mirror `transport/fips.rs:24-107`); warm the union of
+federation+registry peers; make `apply()` concurrent with per-connect timeouts.
+
+### RC6 — Zero observability: fallbacks are invisible, so "uptime" is unfalsifiable
+
+Fallbacks log at `debug!` only (`dial.rs:458,491`); no counters; `last_transport` is
+written by only 7 of ~20 call sites and **never read** to influence anything
+(`storage.rs:120-147`). The parallel `TransportRouter` system can't even see FIPS
+(`FipsTransport` is never constructed — `server.rs:422-442` registers Tor/Mesh/LAN
+only).
+
+**Fix:** per-reason fallback counters (F1 no-npub / F2 service-inactive / F3
+DNS-fail / F4 connect-fail / F5 404 / F6 5xx) surfaced in `fips.status` + `info!`
+logs with a `reason` field; call `record_peer_transport` from all peer-dial sites;
+UI: per-peer transport badge on Cloud (the response already carries `transport` —
+`content.rs:392-400` — Cloud.vue currently throws it away at `:716-721`).
+
+---
+
+## Part A — execution phases
+
+### Phase A0 — fleet triage (no release needed; do first, validates everything)
+1. Fleet audit: `fipsctl --version` + `nft list table inet fips` + `ss -tlnp | grep 5679`
+   on every node (roster: `reference_test_deploy_roster`).
+2. Transient `nft insert rule inet fips inbound iifname fips0 tcp dport 5679 accept`
+   on hardened nodes (already done on .116 + .198, 2026-07-27) — instant fleet-wide
+   FIPS recovery while the code fix rides the OTA.
+3. Upgrade .228 (and any other 0.3.x) fips daemon to v0.4.1.
+4. Regenerate/clean stale `seed-anchors.json` on .116 (dead 192.168.1.x + :8668 entries).
+5. Baseline measurement: for each node pair, `content.browse-peer` time + transport.
+
+### Phase A1 — P0 code (one commit, mechanical, offline-testable)
+1. **nft drop-in: open 5679** — `fips/config.rs` (share the constant with
+   `dial.rs::PEER_PORT`). ← RC0
+2. **Allowlist `/blob/`, `/dwn/`** — `server.rs:1219-1239` + tests. ← RC4
+3. **`FIPS_UDP_PORT` = `PUBLISHED_UDP_PORT` (2121)** — `anchors.rs:293` + drift-guard
+   test against `render_config_yaml()`. ← RC2-G2
+4. **Un-deaden `lan_fips_anchors`** — hydrate `fips_npub` from federation storage in
+   `server.rs:761-766`; then mDNS TXT `fips` key + `set_fips_npub`
+   (`transport/lan.rs:50-54`, `lan.rs:96-108`, `LanTransport::new` 4th arg via
+   `crate::identity::fips_npub(&data_dir.join("identity"))`). ← RC2-G1
+5. **Retry-budget wrap + `fips_timeout` on 12 call sites** (list in RC3). ← RC3
+   Verify: `cd core && cargo test -p archipelago` — watch `test_rendered_yaml_exact_snapshot`
+   (`config.rs:419`) + `test_render_is_deterministic` (`config.rs:476`); item 3 must
+   not change rendered output.
+
+### Phase A2 — telemetry BEFORE tuning (second commit)
+6. Fallback counters by reason + `fips.status` exposure + `info!` reason logs;
+   `record_peer_transport` from all sites. ← RC6 (gives the baseline that makes A3
+   measurable and "100%" falsifiable)
+
+### Phase A3 — resilience (third commit, measured against A2 baseline)
+7. `is_service_active` 10s TTL cache; warm-path union + `warm_path_unchecked`.
+8. Link-state watcher → immediate anchor re-apply on drop (replaces waiting for the
+   300s tick); concurrent `apply()` with subprocess timeouts.
+9. Rebindable peer listener (`server.rs:1203`, `1249-1258`).
+10. (Reviewed, separate PR) endpoint-fallback for direct peering: LAN → Tailscale →
+    last-known-good, npub-keyed. Mesh-routing area — needs careful review per memory.
+
+### Phase A4 — verification gate (on nodes, before tag)
+- On .116/.198/framework-pt/.228: `content.browse-peer` to every peer must return
+  `transport: "fips"` with sub-second latency (LAN pairs) / <3s (WAN), 20/20 calls.
+- Kill the fips daemon on one node → calls fall back to Tor gracefully within the
+  fast-fail budget (<8s), UI shows partial results, no errors.
+- Restart daemon → FIPS recovers within one watcher tick (~25s), verified in
+  `fips.status` counters.
+- Flap the anchor link (drop vps2 route) → direct LAN pairs keep FIPS via their
+  direct link (G1 fix proof).
+- Add these as `tests/multinode/` cases per `docs/multinode-testing-plan.md`; also
+  fix the known `node_rpc()` missing `--max-time` (tracker item).
+
+---
+
+## Part B — optimistic loading + state management (frontend)
+
+Full audit: Pinia exists but pages fetch-on-mount with `loading=true` spinners;
+`Dashboard.vue:89` keys the router-view by `route.path`, so **every navigation
+unmounts and refetches everything**; no KeepAlive/onActivated anywhere; no dedup,
+no abort, no SWR layer. Four hand-rolled cache implementations already exist and
+prove the pattern (`useFleetData.ts:198-231` sessionStorage hydrate;
+`homeStatus.ts` sticky-ready loadState; `Home.vue:591-621` wallet localStorage
+snapshot; `curatedApps.ts:21-77` TTL cache). `SkeletonCard.vue` exists, imported by
+zero files.
+
+### B1 — one shared primitive: `useCachedResource` composable + `resources` Pinia store
+Semantics (generalize `homeStatus.ts` + `useFleetData.ts`):
+- Keyed resource: `{ data, loadState: idle|loading|ready|error|refreshing, fetchedAt, error }`.
+- **Hydrate synchronously** from memory (Pinia, survives navigation) → sessionStorage
+  snapshot (survives reload) → then revalidate in background.
+- Sticky-ready: once `ready`, never regress to `loading`
+  (`loadState = loadState==='ready' ? 'ready' : 'loading'` — the `homeStatus.ts:80` idiom);
+  keep-last-known-value on error with a stale badge (age from `fetchedAt`).
+- TTL per resource; `revalidateOnFocus` + on WS push (debounced, the
+  `Home.vue:539-542` pattern); explicit `invalidate(key)` for mutations.
+- Optimistic mutation helper: apply → RPC → rollback on error (generalize
+  `TransportPrefsCard.vue:112-127`).
+
+### B2 — rpc-client upgrades (`src/api/rpc-client.ts`)
+- `AbortSignal` in `RPCOptions` (today the AbortController at `:87` is timeout-only)
+  → abort-on-unmount for fan-outs.
+- In-flight dedup keyed `method+JSON(params)` — collapses duplicate concurrent calls.
+- Per-call `maxRetries` override; set `maxRetries: 1` for `content.browse-peer` /
+  `preview-peer` (retry×3 on a 30s timeout is why one slow peer = 90s spinner).
+
+### B3 — Cloud page conversion (worst offender, the marquee win)
+- Move `sectionCounts`, `peerNodes`, `myFiles`, `peerFiles`, `paidItems` out of
+  `Cloud.vue` component state (`:403,:476,:582,:689,:427`) into the cached store —
+  instant render on revisit, background refresh.
+- **Incremental per-peer fan-in**: render each peer's card as its
+  `content.browse-peer` resolves (today `Promise.allSettled` at `:708-747` blocks on
+  the slowest peer). Per-peer states: cached/fresh/loading/unreachable.
+- **Surface `transport` per peer** (already in the response, discarded at `:716-721`):
+  FIPS/Tor badge + latency — this is also the fleet-wide FIPS-uptime dashboard the
+  user asked for, for free.
+- Skeleton cards (revive `SkeletonCard.vue`, copy `FileGrid.vue:3-19` shimmer) instead
+  of spinners for counts/folders/peer grids.
+- Stop `CloudFolder.vue:307-319` calling `cloudStore.reset()` on every folder entry —
+  cache per-path listings, navigate renders cache + revalidates.
+- `PeerFiles.vue`: persist catalog + preview cache in the store; cap the
+  `preview-peer` fan-out (`:832-841`, currently unbounded) with a small concurrency
+  queue + abort-on-unmount.
+
+### B4 — roll out to remaining offenders (in audit order)
+PeerFiles → Web5 wallet/ecash/LND slices → Monitoring → Lightning channels
+(`LightningChannelsPanel.vue:650`) → Federation (already has `{showLoader:false}` —
+just adopt the store) → Server → Credentials/OpenWrtGateway/ContainerApps.
+`Apps.vue`/`Marketplace.vue`/`Fleet.vue` are already good; don't touch.
+
+### B5 — freshness via the existing push channel
+`/ws/db` firehose + `sync.ts` JSON-patch already exist. Wire `useCachedResource`
+revalidation to relevant WS pushes (debounced 800ms), keep the 30s staleness
+reconciliation as backstop. No new backend needed for v1; a per-topic subscribe can
+come later.
+
+### Part B verification (on nodes)
+- Navigate Cloud → Apps → Cloud: peer files render instantly from cache (0 spinner),
+  refresh indicator while revalidating, updated data lands without layout jump.
+- One unreachable peer: its card shows stale/unreachable state; other peers render
+  immediately (no 30s all-or-nothing).
+- Kill backend mid-view: stale data stays visible with age badge; recovery
+  revalidates automatically.
+- Hard reload: sessionStorage hydrate paints before first RPC completes.
+
+---
+
+## Sequencing for the next release
+
+1. **A0 now** (fleet triage + transient nft rules + .228 daemon upgrade + baseline).
+2. **A1 + A2** land together (P0 fixes + telemetry) → deploy to .116/.198 →
+   Phase A4 checks on the pair → framework-pt → full fleet.
+3. **B1 + B2 + B3** (composable + rpc-client + Cloud) in parallel with A-testing —
+   frontend-only, verifiable against .116 dev (`reference_neode_ui_dev_testing`).
+4. **A3** after telemetry baseline exists; **B4/B5** ride the same or next OTA.
+5. Gate: Phase A4 checklist green + Part B verification on-device + existing
+   single-node gate stays green → tag/OTA per ship ritual.
+
+## Success criteria
+- `content.browse-peer` transport = fips for ≥99% of calls between healthy 0.4.1
+  nodes over 24h (measured by the new counters), Tor reserved for genuinely
+  FIPS-unreachable peers (.116-WiFi-class networks).
+- Cloud revisit paints in <100ms from cache; fresh data within one revalidate.
+- Fallback counters visible in `fips.status` so regressions are caught on the
+  dashboard, not by users.

+# License Compliance Audit — Open-Source Release
+
+Audit date: 2026-07-22. Scope: entire repo (core Rust workspace, neode-ui, apps/*, Android companion, image-recipe ISO, docker/, app-catalog, reticulum-daemon, demo/) plus the external FIPS source and registry-mirrored images.
+
+**Verdict:** the dependency graph is almost entirely permissive (MIT/Apache/BSD) and compatible with a free open-source release. But the repo is not releasable as-is: it has **no license of its own**, one **LGPL Rust dependency**, several **non-redistributable committed assets** (proprietary fonts, unknown-rights media), and **missing attribution machinery**. Everything below is ordered by severity.
+
+---
+
+## STATUS UPDATE — 2026-07-23
+
+**DONE:**
+- MIT adopted. Root `LICENSE` + `NOTICE` added; `license = "MIT"` in all 5 workspace crates (archy-fips-core already had it); `"license": "MIT"` (+ `"private": true`) in all 4 package.json files.
+- Deleted: `Courier_New/`, `Benton_Sans/`, `Redacted/` fonts; `wireguard.apk`; `atob.s9pk`; obsolete `test-install.sh` (all git-rm'd; also removed from `web/dist`).
+- Media provenance resolved: all demo music/photos/posters, UI sfx, backgrounds, and intro video are the author's original work — recorded in `demo/content/README.md` and `NOTICE`.
+- Meshtastic device artwork attributed (`mesh-devices/ATTRIBUTION.md` + NOTICE); icon attribution added (`assets/icon/ATTRIBUTION.md`: game-icons.net CC BY 3.0, pixelarticons MIT).
+- Reticulum decision: include + disclose (NOTICE states the Reticulum License restrictions and that it applies only to the optional daemon).
+- indeedhub: deferred — partnership in place; license the submodule before/at public release.
+- License inventories generated: `core/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md` (649 crates) and `neode-ui/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md` (runtime deps + fonts + vendored).
+
+**REMAINING (code changes, awaiting review — see sections below for detail):**
+1. Replace `zbase32` (LGPL-3.0+) with `z32` or original impl — §2.
+2. Swap `redis:7.4.8` → Valkey in `scripts/image-versions.sh` and deploys — §3.
+3. Delete dead StartOS-derived crates `core/{js-engine,container-init,models,helpers}` — §4.
+4. Attribution build integration: cargo-about in CI → ship full license texts in ISO; vite/rollup license plugin (or UI licenses page) for the web bundle; Android OSS-licenses screen — §5.
+5. Release-checklist items: per-release Debian source pointer (snapshot.debian.org), catalog `license`/`sourceUrl` fields, restrict ISO image bundling to the audited list — §6.
+6. Before repo goes public: purge deleted fonts/APKs from git history (`git filter-repo`), and verify game-icons author credit.
+
+---
+
+## 1. BLOCKER — the project has no license
+
+There is no `LICENSE`/`COPYING` file anywhere in the repo. No crate in `core/` declares a `license` field; none of the four `package.json` files do either (and the three `apps/*` packages aren't even `private: true`). Until fixed, the code is "all rights reserved" — publicly visible, but legally not open source and not usable by anyone.
+
+**Do:**
+- [ ] Choose a license. **Recommendation: MIT** — the Bitcoin-ecosystem norm (Bitcoin Core, LND are MIT), maximally compatible with everything found in the graph. (Alternatives: Apache-2.0 adds a patent grant; GPLv3 if copyleft is desired — nothing in the deps prevents any of these.)
+- [ ] Add `LICENSE` at repo root with the year and copyright holder.
+- [ ] Add `license = "MIT"` to all five workspace member `Cargo.toml`s (archipelago, container, openwrt, performance, security) and `Android/rust/archy-fips-core` (declares MIT but ships no license file — add one).
+- [ ] Add `"license": "MIT"` to `neode-ui/package.json` and `apps/{morphos-server,router,did-wallet}/package.json`.
+
+## 2. BLOCKER — copyleft dependency that must be replaced
+
+- [ ] **`zbase32 0.1.2` — LGPL-3.0+** — the only hard copyleft blocker in all 649 resolved Rust crates. Direct dep of `archipelago`, used in `core/archipelago/src/network/did_dht.rs` for did:dht z-base-32 encoding. LGPL statically linked into a Rust binary requires shipping relinkable objects/source — impractical. **Replace with the MIT `z32` crate** or a ~30-line original alphabet-substitution implementation.
+
+No GPL, AGPL, SSPL, or unlicensed crates exist anywhere else in the Rust graph. (`r-efi` and `self_cell` list LGPL/GPL only as options in OR-expressions — elect MIT/Apache, no action.)
+
+## 3. BLOCKER — committed files we may not redistribute
+
+Remove from git (and **purge from history** before the repo goes public — they're in past commits):
+
+- [ ] `neode-ui/public/assets/fonts/Courier_New/` — Monotype proprietary font, no license, **unused in CSS**. Delete.
+- [ ] `neode-ui/public/assets/fonts/Benton_Sans/BentonSans-Regular.otf` — commercial Font Bureau typeface, no license, unused. Delete.
+- [ ] `neode-ui/public/packages/wireguard.apk` (17 MB) — official WireGuard Android APK containing GPL-2.0 `libwg` components; redistribution triggers GPL source-offer. **Unreferenced since the FIPS migration** — delete.
+- [ ] `neode-ui/public/packages/atob.s9pk` (24 MB) — Start9 service package, unknown license, referenced only by a test script. Delete.
+- [ ] `demo/content/music/` (18 full tracks, ~150 MB) and `demo/peer-media/` (17 photos/book covers/film posters) — no recorded rights. If they're your own/AI-generated work, document that in a `demo/content/README`; otherwise remove.
+- [ ] `neode-ui/public/assets/video/video-intro.mp4`, `Kratter.MP3`, photographic `bg-*.jpg` backgrounds, UI/arcade sound effects in `assets/audio/` — same: document provenance (user-made per project convention) or replace. `welcome-noderunner.mp3` is ElevenLabs TTS — their commercial-use terms allow this on paid plans; note it.
+- [ ] **Registry: `redis:7.4.8`** (`scripts/image-versions.sh` `REDIS_IMAGE`) — Redis ≥ 7.4 is RSALv2/SSPLv1, **not open source**; re-hosting it on your registry is redistribution under a restricted license. **Switch to Valkey** (BSD-3, already mirrored) everywhere.
+
+## 4. VERIFY — unknown/third-party provenance
+
+- [ ] **`neode-ui/public/assets/img/mesh-devices/` (36 SVGs)** — almost certainly Meshtastic project device artwork (meshtastic/web is GPL-3.0). Confirm source; either replace with original art or comply with the upstream license + attribution.
+- [ ] **`neode-ui/public/assets/icon/`** — `barbarian.svg`, `batteries.svg` match game-icons.net (**CC BY 3.0 — visible attribution required**); pixel-style icons match pixelarticons (MIT). Confirm and add attribution, or replace.
+- [ ] `Redacted/redacted.regular.ttf` — upstream is SIL OFL 1.1 but no license file is shipped. Add `OFL.txt` or delete (unused).
+- [ ] **indeedhub** — submodule (private gitea) not checked out; no known license, yet `indeedhub{,-api,-ffmpeg}:1.0.0` images are distributed via registry/ISO. `indeedhub-ffmpeg` implies a bundled FFmpeg (LGPL/GPL → source-offer obligations). Must license the project and audit the ffmpeg build before public release.
+- [ ] `minmoto/fmcd` v0.8.0 and `ark-bitcoin/bark` (barkd) — binaries redistributed in your images; verify upstream licenses (bark claims Apache-2.0/MIT dual) and include their notices.
+- [ ] **Start9/StartOS heritage** — `core/{js-engine,container-init,models,helpers}` are StartOS-derived (embassy paths, s9pk handling). start-os is MIT → attribution required if kept. **Better: delete these four crates** — they are not workspace members, cannot compile (broken `../../patch-db` path dep), and carry an unpinned `yajrc = "*"` git dep on a moving branch. Deleting removes both the attribution question and dead code.
+- [ ] **Reticulum (RNS 1.3.5 + LXMF)** — verified: custom "Reticulum License" — MIT-style **plus field-of-use restrictions** (no systems designed to harm humans; no AI/ML training-dataset use). Redistribution is permitted, so shipping the PyInstaller `archy-reticulum-daemon` binary is fine **if** the license text is included with it — but the OS cannot claim to be 100 % OSI-open-source while bundling it. Options: include + disclose (recommended, matches "plan for decentralization" honesty), or make the daemon an optional download.
+
+## 5. REQUIRED — attribution / notice machinery (currently absent)
+
+Nearly every permissive license (MIT/BSD/ISC/Apache) requires reproducing copyright + license text **in distributed binaries** — and right now every distribution channel strips them:
+
+- [ ] **Rust binaries** (649 crates, ~85 % MIT/Apache dual): generate `THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES` with `cargo-about` (or `cargo-license`) in CI; ship it in the ISO at e.g. `/usr/share/doc/archipelago/`. Include **ring's three license files** (LICENSE, LICENSE-BoringSSL, LICENSE-other-bits) and note the system OpenSSL (Apache-2.0) linked via `ssh2`.
+- [ ] **Web bundle**: Vite/esbuild strips all `@license` comments from `web/dist`. Add `rollup-plugin-license`/`vite-plugin-license` to emit a third-party attribution file, or add an "Open-source licenses" page in the UI. Runtime deps needing notices: vue/vue-router/pinia/vue-i18n (MIT), d3 (ISC), leaflet (BSD-2), dompurify (elect Apache-2.0 of its MPL/Apache dual), fuse.js (Apache-2.0), qrcode/qr-scanner/qrloop/buffer/fast-json-patch (MIT).
+- [ ] **Android APK**: `packaging.excludes` strips `META-INF` license texts and there is no licenses screen. Add an OSS-licenses screen or bundled `licenses.txt` covering AndroidX/Compose/OkHttp/ZXing (Apache-2.0), **fips © 2026 Johnathan Corgan (MIT — the core of the VPN feature)**, tokio/tracing (MIT), subtle (BSD-3), tun (WTFPL — permissive, just list it), secp256k1 family (CC0). Generate the Rust side from the committed `Cargo.lock` with cargo-about.
+- [ ] **AIUI demo bundle** (`demo/aiui/` — committed minified build): bundles Mermaid, Cytoscape, KaTeX, D3, Lodash, Workbox (all MIT/BSD). Add a `THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES` file next to it (or rebuild with a license plugin).
+- [ ] Keep the intact MIT headers in the two vendored `qrcode.js` copies (docker/lnd-ui, docker/electrs-ui) — already compliant, don't minify them.
+- [ ] Fonts kept: Montserrat (OFL.txt present ✓), Open Sans (Apache LICENSE.txt present ✓) — keep license files adjacent to the font files in dist.
+
+## 6. REQUIRED — distribution-level obligations (ISO & registry)
+
+The ISO redistributes a full Debian (trixie) system plus ~29 container image tarballs; the private registry re-hosts upstream images. Re-hosting = redistribution, same obligations as bundling.
+
+- [ ] **GPL source offer for the ISO** — kernel, GRUB, busybox/live-boot, coreutils, nftables, cryptsetup, wireguard-tools, SYSLINUX `isohdpfx.bin`, etc. Easiest compliance: keep `/usr/share/doc/*/copyright` (the build already does ✓) **and** publish, per release, either a mirror of the exact Debian source packages (`apt-get source` snapshot / snapshot.debian.org pointer) or a written offer in the docs. Add this to the release checklist.
+- [ ] **AGPLv3 images redistributed** (mempool, Grafana, Vaultwarden, SearXNG, PhotoPrism, Nextcloud, Immich, CryptPad, MinIO): AGPL compliance = make corresponding source available. You ship a **modified** mempool-frontend (`docker/mempool-frontend` entrypoint patch) — the patch is in-repo, so compliance is met once the repo is public; state this in docs. For unmodified images, link upstream sources in the app catalog.
+- [ ] **GPLv2/GPLv3 images** (MariaDB, Jellyfin, AdGuard Home, strfry): unmodified redistribution → provide license text + upstream source links (a `license` + `sourceUrl` field per `app-catalog/catalog.json` entry solves this catalog-wide).
+- [ ] **Non-free firmware** (firmware-realtek/iwlwifi/misc/linux-nonfree, intel/amd microcode): redistributable but proprietary — disclose in docs ("includes non-free firmware for hardware support"), like Debian's own non-free-firmware ISOs do.
+- [ ] The ISO build's live-server image capture (`podman save` of whatever matches on the dev server) is a compliance hazard — bundle only from the audited image list.
+- [ ] FIPS daemon (jmcorgan/fips v0.4.1, MIT ✓) and nostr-rs-relay binary (MIT ✓): include their license texts in the notices bundle.
+
+## 7. Housekeeping (supports compliance)
+
+- [ ] Add lockfiles + pinned versions in `apps/*` (currently floating `^` ranges, violating the project's own pinning rule) — reproducibility is also what makes license audits stay true.
+- [ ] `Android` fips dep is pinned to a personal fork rev (`9qeklajc/fips-native@46494a74`) — mirror or vendor it so outside contributors can build.
+- [ ] Move `@types/dompurify` to devDeps; refresh stale `neode-ui/node_modules`.
+- [ ] Add a `NOTICE` file at root naming: fips (Johnathan Corgan, MIT), Start9 start-os (if any derived code remains), Kazuhiko Arase qrcode.js, font licenses, icon attributions.
+- [ ] Consider CI license gating: `cargo-deny` (Rust) + `license-checker` (npm) with an allowlist, so new copyleft deps are caught at PR time.
+
+---
+
+## Quick reference: what's already clean
+
+- All 649 Rust crates except `zbase32`: permissive or dual-licensed.
+- All 833 npm packages in neode-ui: no GPL/AGPL anywhere; only dev-tool LGPL (sharp's libvips, never distributed).
+- Android Gradle deps: 100 % Apache-2.0, all pinned, no Play Services/telemetry.
+- FIPS mesh: MIT (© 2026 Johnathan Corgan) — keep notice.
+- js-engine binds deno_core (MIT) as a crate, nothing vendored — moot if dead crates are deleted.
+- reticulum-daemon Python is original code; obligations attach only to the PyInstaller binary (see §4).
+- Bitcoin Core/Knots, LND, BTCPay, Electrs, Fedimint, core-lightning, Gitea, Home Assistant, Tailscale, Portainer, Uptime-Kuma, filebrowser, ollama, penpot: MIT/Apache/BSD/Zlib/MPL — link + notice is enough.

+# Open-Source Readiness Plan — Archipelago public launch

+
+## Context
+
+The repo goes public in a few days, targeting bitcoin/bitcoin-level polish. Three deep
+exploration passes (docs/structure, code health, secrets sweep) found the repo is
+fundamentally strong — README, `apps/` manifest examples, ADRs, the bats lifecycle gate,
+1,104 Rust tests — but has hard blockers: **two live Anthropic API keys committed in
+tracked files**, node passwords in 7 tracked files, no LICENSE (README links a 404),
+5.5 GB `.git` (re-committed 27 MB APKs), ~290 hardcoded references to the private Gitea
+registry `146.59.87.168:3000` that make every app image unpullable for outsiders, and
+~28 internal AI-session/tracker docs mixed into `docs/`.
+
+**Decisions made by the user:**
+1. **Fresh-history publish** — new public repo with a clean initial commit; private repo keeps full history.
+2. **Registry: domain + parameterize** — real domain in front of the existing registry; host configurable everywhere.
+3. **Deep code cleanup** — orphan crates, dead_code lifts, clippy trims, legacy fallback deletion (sequenced, cut-line-friendly).
+4. **Internal docs: sanitize and keep public** — scrub creds/IPs/hostnames but publish plans/trackers for transparency.
+
+**Invariant throughout:** the single-node production gate (`tests/lifecycle/run-gate.sh`)
+is GREEN and must stay green. Re-run after any orchestrator/lifecycle change (Phase E
+especially). All cargo verification uses `--all-features` to match CI. Stage by explicit
+path, never `git add -A` (shared tree).
+
+## Current local pass status
+
+This branch is replayed on top of `origin/main` as `public-prelaunch`.
+
+Completed locally in this pass:
+
+- Redacted the two tracked Anthropic API key literals from
+  `scripts/setup-aiui-server.sh` and
+  `image-recipe/_archived/build-auto-installer-iso.sh`.
+- Removed `Android/app/debug.keystore` and `core/.env.production` from the
+  source tree; copies were preserved in
+  `~/Desktop/archipelago-sensitive-backup-2026-07-27/`.
+- Reworked `scripts/audit-secrets.sh` to scan tracked source more aggressively
+  and to catch non-example env files and credential file patterns.
+- Reworked `scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh` so the current `app:` manifest
+  schema can be audited without a Python `PyYAML` dependency.
+- Updated root/community docs, CI, PR template, app developer notes, and
+  container/deployment docs toward public contributor expectations.
+- Fixed native FIPS activation fallback: nodes that have the packaged
+  `fips.service` but not `archipelago-fips.service` now start the available
+  unit instead of repeatedly failing activation against a missing unit. This
+  now covers startup, supervisor self-heal, manual dashboard start/reconnect,
+  and post-onboarding activation. The UI now labels the action as `Start`
+  instead of making native FIPS look like an installable app.
+- Fixed the FIPS app-port relay design so it binds relays to the node's FIPS
+  ULA instead of wildcard `[::]`, avoiding collisions with Podman-published app
+  ports such as FileBrowser `8083` and Botfights `9100`.
+- Added `docs/nostr-git-source-hosting.md`, a NIP-34/ngit/GRASP source hosting
+  plan using a Bitcoin Core-style maintainer model: public review and easy
+  forks, with canonical merge rights held by a small signed maintainer set.
+
+Verified locally:
+
+- `./scripts/audit-secrets.sh` passes.
+- Full `apps/*/manifest.yml` repository audit passes with warnings only.
+- `bash -n` passes for the edited shell scripts.
+- Targeted FIPS dashboard vitest passes.
+- Targeted Rust tests for FIPS service unit detection and FIPS app relay
+  address selection pass.
+
+Verified on a Linux Archipelago verification node:
+
+- Native FIPS was restored by starting the already-installed packaged
+  `fips.service`; the daemon became active and joined the FIPS tree.
+- Correct local lifecycle API endpoint is HTTP, not HTTPS
+  (`ARCHY_HOST=127.0.0.1 ARCHY_SCHEME=http`).
+- Read-only lifecycle run progressed past login and confirmed required
+  containers, Bitcoin RPC, ElectrumX TCP, and manifest port-drift checks, but
+  did not complete cleanly: `botfights` and `filebrowser` remained in
+  `restarting` longer than the matrix window, and the LND `lncli getinfo`
+  probe hung. Do not run the destructive gate until those live-node issues are
+  understood.
+- After the node updated to `1.7.116-alpha`, `botfights`, `filebrowser`, and
+  `lnd` were active/running and ports `8083`/`9100` were held by Podman's
+  `rootlessport` as expected. The packaged `fips.service` remained installed
+  and enabled but inactive, so the native FIPS service fallback should still
+  ship before the public launch.
+
+Still required before public publish:
+
+- Rotate/revoke compromised credentials listed in Phase 0.
+- Finish Phase 1 password/node/token sanitization beyond the two API keys.
+- Publish from fresh history after the sanitized tree is final.
+- Run full Rust, frontend, Android, and lifecycle gate verification.
+- Resolve the live-node lifecycle blockers above, then rerun the read-only
+  suite followed by the destructive gate only on an approved verification node.
+- Decide the canonical Archipelago maintainer npub and merge-maintainer npub
+  list before publishing the Nostr Git source-hosting workflow.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0 — Credential rotation (immediate, independent of the repo)
+
+Treat all of these as already compromised; rotate even though we're doing fresh-history:
+
+- **Anthropic API key #1**: `image-recipe/_archived/build-auto-installer-iso.sh:2837` (the "intentional alpha" ISO key). Revoke + reissue; move the live key OUT of source into a build-time secret/env (`ISO_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`), keep the alpha-baking behavior if desired but never the literal in git.
+- **Anthropic API key #2**: `scripts/setup-aiui-server.sh:28` — a *different* live key, not covered by the documented alpha exception. Revoke; parameterize the script.
+- **The shared node SSH/sudo/UI password** (two variants) — in 7 tracked files + 24+ commits. Rotate fleet-wide (user task).
+- **Gitea `ai` account password + 2 Gitea tokens** — embedded in `.git/config` remote URLs (not tracked, but leaks in any directory copy/tarball). Rotate; switch remotes to credential-helper storage instead of URL-embedded creds.
+
+## Phase 1 — Secrets & sanitization of tracked files
+
+1. Strip the password/credential lines from the 7 files:
+   `docs/PRODUCTION-MASTER-PLAN.md` (lines ~428–429, 454–457, 483, 521–528, 886 — the fleet cred table),
+   `docs/archive/SESSION-1.8.0-OTA-PROGRESS.md`, `docs/archive/HANDOVER-2026-07-02-iso-feedback.md`,
+   `docs/bitcoin-version-bulletproof-rollout.md`, `tests/production-quality/TRACKER.md`,
+   `tests/multinode/meshtastic.sh:26`, `neode-ui/test-openwrt.mjs:4` (→ env var).
+2. `.gitea/workflows/post-install-tests.yml` — remove `sshpass -p '…'` + default target IP; use secrets/vars.
+3. Sanitize infra identifiers repo-wide (in the *sanitize-and-keep* docs and scripts):
+   replace Tailscale IPs (17 unique, 14 files), LAN IPs (`192.168.1.x`, 93 files), hostnames
+   (`tx1138`, `shorty-s`, `archy-x250`, `archy-dev-pa`) with placeholders like `<node-a>` /
+   `NODE_IP`. Key script targets: `scripts/deploy-config-defaults.sh`, `scripts/deploy-tailscale.sh`,
+   `docs/operations-runbook.md` (opens with real node IPs), `docs/developer-guide.md`, `docs/api-reference.md`, `docs/hotfix-process.md`.
+4. Fix the audit tool that let this happen: `scripts/audit-secrets.sh:28` — remove `\.md$` and
+   bare `test` from ALLOW_PATTERNS; add `sk-ant-` and password-table patterns; scan all
+   tracked files not just `*.env`. Run it clean as a Phase-1 exit check.
+5. `.gitignore` additions: `.claude/`, `*.key`, `*.pem`, `id_rsa*`, `*.sqlite`, `*.db`
+   (`.claude/settings.local.json` with creds is currently only ignored by a machine-global rule).
+6. Product-security note to raise (not fix now): `password123` is a shipped default (auth.rs, en.json, user-walkthrough) — file a public issue for forced first-run password change if not already enforced.
+
+## Phase 2 — Repo restructure: deletions, binaries, layout
+
+Delete (each its own commit):
+- `loop/` (AI overnight harness w/ node SSH lines), `.agents/`, `.codex`, `.githooks/pre-push`
+  (the hook that re-commits the 27 MB APK — root cause of the 5.5 GB history).
+- `indeedhub/` submodule + `.gitmodules` entry (points at private HTTP Gitea, breaks `--recursive`
+  clones); `indeedhub-demo/` (single Dockerfile — merge or drop).
+- `RELEASE-NOTES-v1.0.0.md` (superseded by CHANGELOG), `neode-ui/docs/GAMEPAD-NAV-MAP.md` (duplicate of `docs/GAMEPAD-NAV.md`).
+- Stray generated HTML: `docs/container-architecture.html` (311 KB), `docs/archive/architecture-review.html`, `docs/archive/lora-functionality.html`.
+- `Android/local.properties` from tracking (local absolute path); remove `Android/app/debug.keystore` (standard practice).
+
+Move out of git (→ release assets on the Releases page, referenced by URL):
+- `neode-ui/public/packages/archipelago-companion.apk` (27 MB), `wireguard.apk` (17 MB), `atob.s9pk` (23 MB).
+- `Android/archipelago-0.3.0-debug.apk.zip` (16 MB, stale).
+- `demo/content/music/*` + heavy `demo/aiui/assets` (~261 MB, third-party/unclear-licence media — MUST not ship publicly regardless of size).
+- `neode-ui/dev-dist/` (generated Workbox output) → gitignore.
+
+Rename/fix the naming lie: `image-recipe/_archived/` contains the *production* ISO builder
+(`build-auto-installer-iso.sh`, referenced by `.gitea/workflows/build-iso.yml`). Move live
+files up into `image-recipe/`, delete the genuinely archived rest.
+
+## Phase 3 — Registry domain + parameterization (functional blocker)
+
+Infra (user assists: DNS + TLS):
+- Put a domain (e.g. `registry.archipelago-os.org` / `git.archipelago-os.org`) with HTTPS in
+  front of the existing Gitea on vps2. OTA download URLs move from plain HTTP to HTTPS.
+
+Repo changes:
+- Introduce a single source of truth for the registry host (e.g. `REGISTRY_HOST` in
+  `scripts/lib/` + a default in the orchestrator config). Replace `146.59.87.168:3000` in:
+  all 56 `apps/*/manifest.yml`, `app-catalog/catalog.json`, `releases/manifest.json`,
+  `release-manifest.json`, the 11 scripts (`self-update.sh`, `create-release.sh`,
+  `generate-app-catalog.sh`, `validate-app-manifest.sh`, `first-boot-containers.sh`, …),
+  both `demo-images.yml` workflows, `demo-deploy/.env.example`, and the Android sources
+  (`FipsPreferences.kt`, `PartyScreen.kt`).
+- Because the catalog is signed: regenerate + re-sign + republish the app catalog after the
+  manifest host change (catalog-overlay supremacy — disk edits don't apply otherwise).
+  Signing needs the user's mnemonic → schedule one ceremony after manifests are final.
+- Verify: fresh machine with no LAN/tailnet access can `podman pull` one app image via the
+  domain and the gate node still installs apps after the re-signed catalog lands.
+
+## Phase 4 — Documentation overhaul
+
+### 4a. Community/legal files (missing today)
+- `LICENSE` — MIT (matches existing README badge). Add `[workspace.package] license` +
+  `license.workspace = true` in the 5 member Cargo.tomls (also see Phase A4).
+- `SECURITY.md` — disclosure address, PGP key, supported-versions; cite the March 2026 audit (`docs/archive/security-code-audit-2026-03.md`).
+- `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` — Contributor Covenant (CONTRIBUTING.md already links to it, 404 today).
+- `CONTRIBUTING.md` edits: Gitea→GitHub fork flow, remove private deploy instructions, absorb
+  the public-worthy CLAUDE.md invariants (rootless podman, manifest-driven, secrets model,
+  non-destructive migrations), versioning policy note for the `-alpha` scheme.
+- `CLAUDE.md` — rewrite: keep invariants/build-verify (public-worthy), remove status banner,
+  node numbers, `gitea-ai` push mechanics, MEMORY references (those move to private notes).
+
+### 4b. New developer docs (the three real gaps for app developers)
+1. **`docs/quadlet-compilation.md`** — how a manifest becomes a Quadlet/systemd unit: naming,
+   `systemctl --user` lifecycle, where units land, how to inspect/debug one. (Source:
+   `core/archipelago/src/container/quadlet*.rs`, prod_orchestrator.)
+2. **`docs/container-lifecycle.md`** — the 30 s level-triggered reconciler, install/adopt/
+   restart/uninstall state machine, health checks, crash recovery. (Replaces the plan-shaped
+   `docs/bulletproof-containers.md` as the current description; salvage its content.)
+3. **`docs/secrets.md`** — `generated_secrets` declaration → materialisation by
+   `container::secrets` (0600, rootless) → injection; what developers must never do.
+- Also: make every example in `docs/app-developer-guide.md` + `apps/*/manifest.yml` copy-paste
+  work against the new public registry host; add an end-to-end "write your first app" walkthrough
+  that a stranger can follow with only the public repo + an Archipelago node.
+
+### 4c. Sanitize-and-keep internal docs (user's transparency choice)
+- Keep, after Phase-1 scrubbing: `docs/PRODUCTION-MASTER-PLAN.md`, `docs/UNIFIED-TASK-TRACKER.md`,
+  `docs/1.8.0-RELEASE-HARDENING-PLAN.md`, `docs/RETICULUM-TRANSPORT-PROGRESS.md`, HANDOFF-*, test
+  plans, `docs/archive/*` — but **move all session/handoff/tracker material under
+  `docs/history/`** (extending the existing honest `docs/archive/README.md` pattern) so the
+  top-level `docs/` reads as current reference only. Add a banner to each: "historical working
+  document, sanitized; not maintained."
+- Remove dangling agent-memory references in tracked docs (`docs/bulletproof-containers.md`,
+  `docs/RETICULUM-TRANSPORT-PROGRESS.md`, `docs/registry-manifest-design.md`,
+  `docs/bitcoin-multi-version-design.md` progress block).
+- De-status the 14 design docs (strip "Status/RESUME POINT" headers into a one-line status
+  field; e.g. `docs/APP-PACKAGING-MIGRATION-PLAN.md` → public app-platform design doc).
+- Extract North-Star narrative from PRODUCTION-MASTER-PLAN into `docs/ROADMAP.md`; extract
+  the "run the gate ON the node" philosophy from `docs/multinode-testing-plan.md` into
+  `tests/lifecycle/TESTING.md`.
+- Add `docs/README.md` index (bitcoin/bitcoin `doc/` style): Getting started / Architecture /
+  App development / Operations / Design docs (ADRs) / History.
+- README fixes: LICENSE link becomes real, Documentation table repointed at the reorganized
+  docs, remove "Deploy to a Test Node" private-LAN section, point Contributing at
+  CONTRIBUTING.md only.
+
+## Phase 5 — Deep code cleanup (ordered zero-risk → highest-risk; cut-line after any commit)
+
+### A. Zero-risk deletions & metadata (S each, own commits)
+- **A1** Delete orphan non-compiling StartOS crates: `core/models`, `core/helpers`,
+  `core/js-engine` (incl. 2 committed `JS_SNAPSHOT.*.bin`), `core/container-init` (~4,100 LOC,
+  zero references). Verify: `cargo build --workspace && cargo test --all-features`.
+- **A2** Delete unreferenced Vue components: `neode-ui/src/components/{AppSwitcher,EmptyState,SkeletonCard}.vue`. Verify: `npm run type-check && npm run build`.
+- **A3** Fix `.gitignore` lockfile lines (7: `Cargo.lock`, 15: `package-lock.json`) — lockfiles are intentionally tracked; the rules are misleading and swallow future lockfiles.
+- **A4** LICENSE + Cargo license fields (see 4a). Verify with `cargo metadata`.
+- **A5** `core/rust-toolchain.toml` pinning `1.95.0`; align `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (remove explicit `toolchain: stable` input so the file wins). Upgrades become deliberate PRs.
+- **A6** `core/rustfmt.toml` codifying **defaults only** (`edition = "2021"` + comment) — do NOT add style options days before launch (whole-tree reformat churn). Verify `cargo fmt --all -- --check` yields no diff.
+
+### B. CI guards (zero runtime risk)
+- **B1** Enable vitest in CI: run `cd neode-ui && npm run test` locally; fix trivial failures, `.skip`+issue flaky ones; add step to the frontend job. Playwright → tracked issue only (needs browsers + mock backend orchestration).
+- **B2** Raw podman/systemctl **ratchet, not migration**: the 132 raw `Command::new("podman"/"systemctl")` sites use subcommands the `core/container/src/podman_client.rs` wrapper doesn't expose (network/inspect/ps/port), 43 sites are in gate-critical `install.rs`, and the prod path intentionally uses Quadlet+systemctl. Add `scripts/ci/raw-podman-ratchet.sh` (count vs committed baseline, fail on increase) as a CI step + tracked issue for wrapper API design.
+
+### C. Clippy suppression trim (`core/archipelago/src/main.rs:8-18`, per-lint commits)
+- Remove cheaply: `assertions_on_constants`, `drop_non_drop`, `wildcard_in_or_patterns`, `doc_lazy_continuation`, `enum_variant_names` (targeted allows on serde enums — never rename wire variants).
+- Own careful commit: `unused_io_amount` — a **correctness** lint; fix sites with `read_exact`/`write_all` or documented targeted allows (`mesh/serial.rs:456,496` has raw partial reads; serial framing may be intentional). Full test suite + gate after.
+- Keep crate-wide with justifying comment: `too_many_arguments`, `type_complexity`; attempt `ptr_arg` (`&Vec<T>`→`&[T]`, mechanical) if time allows — first to cut.
+- Verify each: `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings && cargo test --all-features`.
+
+### D. dead_code lift — Tiers 1–2 pre-launch, Tier 3 → commented allows + issues
+Per-module procedure (one file per commit): remove `#![allow(dead_code)]` → `cargo check
+--all-targets --all-features` → triage each warning: (a) genuinely dead → delete;
+(b) future-feature/protocol-mandated → targeted `#[allow(dead_code)] // TODO(#NNN): …`;
+(c) missing wiring → keep + targeted allow + issue (don't fix wiring in this workstream) →
+clippy `-D warnings` + tests → commit.
+- **Tier 1 (small/leaf, S each):** `swarm/seed_advert.rs`, `transport/{mesh_transport,lan,chunking,delta}.rs`, `mesh/{crypto,alerts,types,outbox}.rs`, `streaming/mod.rs`, `wallet/mod.rs`.
+- **Tier 2 (M each):** `fips/{mod,iface,dial}.rs` (41 external refs → little residual deadness), `mesh/{x3dh,ratchet,steganography,message_types}.rs` — for crypto files bias to (b) with roadmap comments (unused crypto attracts auditor noise; every kept item needs its why).
+- **Tier 3 (defer, riskiest):** `mesh/{mod,reticulum,protocol,serial,bitcoin_relay}.rs`, `transport/mod.rs` — change each blanket allow to `#![allow(dead_code)] // Hardware-mesh surface partially wired; triage tracked in #NNN`.
+- Optional S/M win: move `prod_orchestrator.rs`'s 5,034-line `#[cfg(test)]` module to a sibling file via `#[path]` (pure move, halves the 6,291-line file).
+
+### E. stacks.rs legacy fallbacks (highest risk — LAST, evidence-gated)
+Legacy installers for immich/btcpay/mempool/indeedhub (`core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package/stacks.rs:838/1047/1267/1498`, ~1,000 LOC with hardcoded registry IPs) fire only on "unknown app_id, zero members installed", logging `INSTALL ORCH SKIP` (stacks.rs:673). Netbird already uses the hard-error replacement (stacks.rs:1898-1920).
+1. Run the full gate on the node; grep install logs for `INSTALL ORCH SKIP`.
+2. Zero SKIPs → replace each legacy body with the netbird-style hard error (keep orchestrator call + `adopt_stack_if_exists`; satisfies migrations-never-destroy-data). Re-run gate; any red → revert + issue.
+3. Any SKIP → don't delete; issue: "deploy manifests fleet-wide, then delete legacy installers".
+
+### Explicitly deferred → public tracked issues at launch
+PodmanClient API extension + call-site migration; god-module splits (`install.rs`, `update.rs`, `mesh/mod.rs`); Playwright in CI; Tier-3 dead_code triage; `password123` default hardening.
+
+## Phase 6 — Fresh-history publish
+
+1. Freeze: all phases merged on internal `main`, gate green, catalog re-signed.
+2. Build the public tree: `git archive`-style export of HEAD (never copy `.git/` — it holds
+   credentialed remotes) → new repo, single initial commit ("Initial public release, vX.Y.Z"),
+   optionally preserving CHANGELOG.md as the human-readable history.
+3. Pre-publish gate on the export: `scripts/audit-secrets.sh` (fixed version) clean; grep-zero for
+   `sk-ant-`, rotated-password strings, `146.59.87.168`, tailnet `100.` IPs, `192.168.1.`,
+   internal hostnames; `du -sh .git` sanity (< ~100 MB); fresh `git clone` + `cd core && cargo build`
+   + `cd neode-ui && npm ci && npm run build` on a clean machine/container; one app image pull
+   from the public domain.
+4. Publish to GitHub; enable issue templates (already present in `.github/`); file the deferred-work
+   issues (from Phase 5's issue list) as the initial public issue set — honest and gives contributors entry points.
+5. Internal repo remains the private full-history remote; decide sync direction post-launch
+   (recommend: public repo becomes canonical, private keeps only ops/infra notes).
+
+## Verification (end-to-end)
+
+- `tests/lifecycle/run-gate.sh` green on the node after Phases 3 + 5E (and after any lifecycle-touching commit).
+- CI green on every phase commit: `cargo fmt --check`, `clippy -D warnings`, `cargo test --all-features`, frontend type-check + build + (new) vitest.
+- Phase-6 clean-machine clone/build/pull test is the final acceptance test — it simulates the first outside developer.
+- Docs acceptance: a reader following `docs/app-developer-guide.md` + the new quadlet/lifecycle/secrets docs can build and install an app manifest without any private infra.
+
+## Sequencing / cut-line
+
+Order: 0 → 1 → 2 → (3 ∥ 4) → 5 (A→E) → 6. Phases 0–2 are non-negotiable security; Phase 3 is the
+functional blocker; Phase 4 is the developer-experience payload; Phase 5 can be cut after any
+commit (minimum viable: A1–A6, B1–B2, unused_io_amount fix); Phase 6 last. If the timeline
+compresses, Tier-2 dead_code and Phase E move to public issues — everything else holds.

+# Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
+
+This plan describes how Archipelago can publish and accept contributions to its
+source code through `ngit`, NIP-34, and GRASP while keeping the developer
+experience inside Archipelago.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Publish Archipelago source from a sanitized, fresh-history repository.
+- Make the in-app registry the primary onboarding path for contributors.
+- Let contributors clone, branch, push PR branches, open PRs, and discuss issues
+  with a Nostr identity from their Archipelago node.
+- Follow the Bitcoin Core development model: broad public review and easy forks,
+  with canonical merge authority held by a small maintainer set.
+- Give contributors full read, fork, and proposal rights, but no direct merge
+  rights on the canonical repository.
+- Keep the official maintainer identity and merge authority separate from user
+  node identities.
+
+## Current Building Blocks
+
+Archipelago already has most of the primitives needed for this:
+
+- App manifests and the app registry already install developer tooling as
+  rootless Podman apps.
+- The `gitea` app provides a conventional fallback Git UI and package registry.
+- The app launcher already exposes a consent-gated NIP-07 bridge for launched
+  apps using `getPublicKey`, `signEvent`, NIP-04, and NIP-44 requests.
+- The backend exposes node and identity Nostr signing RPC methods.
+- FIPS gives nodes a stable mesh identity and private transport path, but repo
+  announcements and PRs should remain NIP-34 compatible on normal Nostr relays.
+- DWN protocol registration exists and can be used later for local contribution
+  metadata/cache, but should not be required for the first public workflow.
+
+## Protocol Basis
+
+Use existing Nostr Git conventions rather than inventing an Archipelago-only
+protocol:
+
+- NIP-34 repository announcement events identify repositories with kind `30617`.
+- NIP-34 repository state events publish branch/tag refs with kind `30618`.
+- NIP-34 patches, pull requests, PR updates, issues, and status events use kinds
+  `1617`, `1618`, `1619`, `1621`, and `1630`-`1633`.
+- `ngit` provides the `git-remote-nostr` helper for `nostr://` clone URLs and PR
+  branches.
+- GRASP servers provide Git Smart HTTP storage while Nostr events remain the
+  authority for repository identity, refs, PRs, issues, and maintainer state.
+
+Primary references:
+
+- https://nips.nostr.com/34
+- https://docs.rs/crate/ngit/latest/source/README.md
+- https://ngit.dev/grasp/
+
+## Recommended Architecture
+
+### Apps
+
+Create two first-party apps:
+
+- `ngit`: CLI/runtime package containing `ngit` and `git-remote-nostr`.
+- `archipelago-source`: web UI for cloning Archipelago source, viewing NIP-34
+  issues/PRs, opening branches, and submitting PR events.
+
+The `archipelago-source` app should depend on `ngit`. It can also recommend
+Gitea for users who want a conventional local web Git UI, but Gitea should not
+be the source of truth for public contribution permissions.
+
+### Contributor Onboarding
+
+When the user installs `archipelago-source` from the registry:
+
+1. Show a modal before first launch: "Contribute to Archipelago".
+2. Explain that the app will use their Archipelago Nostr identity to clone and
+   sign contribution events.
+3. Display the maintainer repository announcement, clone URL, maintainer npub,
+   and relay/GRASP endpoints.
+4. Ask for consent to:
+   - fetch repository metadata from configured relays,
+   - clone source through `nostr://`,
+   - create local branches,
+   - sign NIP-34 issue/PR/comment events,
+   - push PR branches to approved GRASP servers.
+5. Store approval per app origin, identity id, repository id, and relay set.
+
+This should build on the existing NIP-07 app-launcher bridge, but use a more
+specific permission scope than the generic sign-event approval.
+
+### Identity And Permissions
+
+Use four identity classes:
+
+- `archipelago-maintainer`: an offline or tightly controlled Nostr key that
+  signs the canonical kind `30617` repo announcement and status/merge events.
+- `archipelago-merge-maintainer`: one of the small set of maintainer npubs
+  allowed to advance canonical refs and publish valid merged/applied status.
+- `archipelago-build`: release automation key for signed release artifacts and
+  CI status events. It must not have merge authority.
+- `contributor`: user node or app-specific identity used for PRs, issues, and
+  comments.
+
+Contributor rights:
+
+- Clone the repository.
+- Open issues.
+- Push proposal branches using `pr/<npub>/<short-topic>` or `pr/<event-id>`.
+- Publish NIP-34 PR/update/comment events.
+- Rebase and update their own PR branch.
+- Run local validation and attach status evidence.
+
+Contributor restrictions:
+
+- Cannot update `refs/heads/main` or release branches in canonical state.
+- Cannot publish maintainer-valid merge/applied status.
+- Cannot alter the canonical repository announcement.
+- Cannot publish release catalog signatures.
+
+Maintainer rights:
+
+- Publish/update the canonical repo announcement.
+- Publish canonical `refs/heads/main` state.
+- Mark PRs merged/closed/draft via NIP-34 status events.
+- Sign release tags and catalog updates.
+
+Fork rights:
+
+- Any contributor can create their own NIP-34 kind `30617` repository
+  announcement for a fork.
+- Fork announcements should use the NIP-34 `u` tag to point back to the
+  canonical `archy` repository.
+- The source app should make forking a first-class path: "Fork on Nostr", clone
+  the fork locally, push branches to the contributor's GRASP list, and open PRs
+  back to canonical Archipelago when they want review.
+- Forks can have their own maintainer npubs, relays, policies, and release
+  cadence, but the app should clearly label them as forks unless signed by the
+  canonical maintainer set.
+
+The GRASP server policy should enforce this by accepting pushes to maintainer
+refs only when backed by signed maintainer state, while allowing contributor PR
+refs from their own npubs.
+
+## Repository Layout
+
+Canonical repo announcement:
+
+- repo id: `archy`
+- display name: `Archipelago`
+- clone URLs:
+  - `nostr://<maintainer-npub>/<relay-hint>/archy`
+  - `https://<grasp-host>/<maintainer-npub>/archy.git`
+- relays:
+  - Archipelago-operated relay
+  - at least two public Nostr relays that support the event load
+- GRASP servers:
+  - Archipelago-operated GRASP instance
+  - one public GRASP-compatible mirror
+
+Keep the existing HTTP Git remote as a mirror during launch. The docs can
+present `nostr://` as the preferred contribution path once the workflow is
+proven.
+
+## UI Requirements
+
+The source app should provide:
+
+- A first-run contribution modal with a real Archipelago source graphic, not a
+  generic text-only dialog.
+- Current clone status and local path.
+- Branch list, changed files, commit form, and push/open-PR flow.
+- PR inbox, issue list, maintainer status, and relay health.
+- Explicit identity indicator showing which npub will sign events.
+- A merge rights indicator that clearly says contributors can propose changes
+  but cannot merge them.
+- A fork flow that creates a user-owned NIP-34 repo announcement and remote,
+  then offers "Open PR to Archipelago" from any fork branch.
+- Maintainer badges based only on pinned canonical maintainer npubs, not relay
+  metadata or server-side account names.
+- Links to container docs, deployment docs, manifest spec, and open-source
+  readiness tasks.
+
+## Backend Work
+
+Add an RPC module for source contribution workflow:
+
+- `source.repo-info`: returns canonical announcement, clone URL, relay set,
+  maintainer npubs, and local clone state.
+- `source.ensure-ngit`: verifies the `ngit` app/runtime is installed.
+- `source.clone`: clones or updates the local source checkout.
+- `source.status`: returns branch, dirty files, ahead/behind, and PR state.
+- `source.commit`: creates a local commit from selected files.
+- `source.fork`: creates a contributor-owned NIP-34 fork announcement and local
+  remote.
+- `source.open-pr`: pushes a PR branch and publishes a kind `1618` event.
+- `source.update-pr`: updates the branch and publishes kind `1619`.
+- `source.issue`: publishes a kind `1621` event.
+
+Backend must shell out through a narrow command wrapper, never arbitrary user
+commands. The wrapper should set an isolated working tree under
+`/var/lib/archipelago/source/archy`, run as the Archipelago service user, and
+deny operations outside that path.
+
+## Security Model
+
+- Never expose maintainer private keys to an Archipelago node.
+- Prefer app-specific contributor identities over the node's default identity.
+- Require per-action consent for first PR push, issue creation, and signing any
+  event that tags the canonical repository.
+- Pin the canonical maintainer npub in the app manifest and backend config.
+- Keep the canonical merge-maintainer allow list signed by the
+  `archipelago-maintainer` key; never infer merge rights from GRASP server
+  accounts.
+- Verify the canonical kind `30617` event signature before displaying clone
+  instructions.
+- Treat GRASP servers as untrusted storage; verify Git refs against signed
+  Nostr state.
+- Do not use destructive git operations from the UI without an explicit modal.
+- Store local clones and generated patches outside app container writable roots
+  unless the user exports them.
+
+## MVP
+
+1. Package `ngit` as a first-party app.
+2. Stand up one Archipelago-operated GRASP server and one Nostr relay.
+3. Publish sanitized fresh-history `archy` through `ngit init`.
+4. Add a simple `archipelago-source` app that clones source and links out to the
+   preferred Nostr Git browser.
+5. Add app-launcher consent scopes for repository-specific NIP-34 signing.
+6. Allow issues and PR branch submission from contributor npubs.
+7. Add a one-click fork flow that publishes a contributor-owned fork
+   announcement referencing canonical Archipelago.
+8. Keep maintainer merge/status publication manual.
+
+## Later
+
+- Native PR review UI with file diffs and inline comments.
+- CI status events signed by the build identity.
+- FIPS-first source sync between trusted Archipelago nodes.
+- Private prerelease repositories using NIP-42 allow lists and/or protected
+  events if the ecosystem support is mature enough.
+- Multi-maintainer policy with threshold signatures or explicit maintainer-list
+  rotation events.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Which maintainer npub should become canonical for `archy`?
+- Should contributor identities be node-default or app-specific by default?
+- Which GRASP implementation should be deployed first: `ngit-grasp` or another
+  NIP-34/GRASP-compatible relay?
+- Should the source app include a full web Git UI in v1, or launch Gitea/ngit
+  browser links for review while keeping signing/submission native?
+- What exact license and contribution certificate should contributors accept
+  before submitting PR events?
