docs: add FED-05 inter-node lightning channel-open UX to Phase 1

Research findings and a concrete split of work: web-side items for this
repo (pre-warm camera, torch toggle, continuous focus, keep-stream-
alive) and a native handover list for the companion dev (pre-warmed
CameraX + ML Kit, QR-only format, 720p keep-latest analysis, torch,
zoom nudge, haptic dismiss) with acceptance criteria and how to
measure. Quick win landed now: live scan runs at 10 scans/sec when the
platform has a native BarcodeDetector, keeping 4/s only for the
JS-worker fallback.

+[INFO] Overlapping locked ADRs on Nostr marketplace discovery — consistent, not contradictory
+  Found: docs/adr/003-nostr-for-discovery.md and docs/adr/006-nostr-marketplace-discovery.md are both locked and both decide "Nostr relays (NIP-78, kind 30078) for app manifest discovery" over the same scope
+  Note: The decisions agree; ADR-006 refines ADR-003 with concrete trust tiers (Verified/Community/Unverified), curated built-in app list, and pre-install signature verification. Both preserved as separate entries in intel/decisions.md; no resolution needed. Consider marking one as superseding/refining the other in the docs for hygiene.
+
+[INFO] SPEC security validation list narrower than ADR-009 mandatory defaults
+  Found: docs/adr/009-manifest-container-security.md (locked) mandates non-root UID (> 1000), pinned image tags (no `latest`), and a default seccomp profile as non-negotiable defaults; docs/app-manifest-spec.md's documented SecurityPolicy schema and AppManifest::validate() list do not mention these three (SecurityPolicy has apparmor_profile but no seccomp field)
+  Note: This is SPEC silence, not contradiction — no auto-resolution applied. ADR-009 governs by precedence (ADR > SPEC) and lock status. The SPEC itself declares `core/container/src/manifest.rs` canonical over the doc, so the gap may be documentation drift rather than implementation drift. Flagged for downstream verification, recorded as absent in intel/constraints.md.
+
+[INFO] ADR numbering gap — ADR-010 absent from ingest set
+  Found: Classified ADRs run 001–009 and 011; no classification exists for an ADR-010
+  Note: Either ADR-010 does not exist, was withdrawn, or was not included in the ingest. No action required for synthesis; noted for completeness of the decision record.
+
+[INFO] Cross-reference graph is acyclic
+  Found: cross_refs edges: ADR-007 → ADR-003; ADR-009 → docs/app-manifest-spec.md (+ code paths); SPEC → out-of-set docs and code only (app-developer-guide.md, manifest-hooks-design.md, marketplace-protocol.md, core/container/src/manifest.rs, api/rpc/package/stacks.rs)
+  Note: DFS cycle detection found no cycles; all 11 docs were synthesized. Several SPEC cross-refs point to documents not in the ingest set — they were not followed.

+# Archipelago
+
+## What This Is
+
+Archipelago is a self-hosted personal-server platform: a Rust daemon (workspace at `core/`)
+plus a Vue 3 frontend (`neode-ui/`, built to `web/dist/neode-ui/`) running on Debian nodes
+with rootless Podman, managing ~40 declarative, manifest-driven apps (Bitcoin, Lightning,
+mesh/LoRa, federation, media, and more). It ships as OTA-updated releases to a live fleet
+and is actively shipping v1.7.x alpha releases. This milestone drives it to the
+**developer-ready app platform** north star.
+
+## Core Value
+
+A third-party developer can publish an app via the signed/decentralized registry and a user
+can install it on their node — every app manifest-driven, manifests shipped via the signed
+registry (not OTA disk files), all rootless, secure, robust, and 100%-uptime-capable.
+
+## Current State (brownfield baseline, 2026-07-29)
+
+- Single-node production gate is **GREEN** (5/5 on .228, 2026-06-23) — that exit criterion is met.
+- ~40 apps are manifest-based and Quadlet-migrated; all multi-container stacks use the
+  orchestrator stack pattern; the legacy per-app installer anti-pattern is deleted.
+- Workstream B (registry-distributed manifests) phases 1+2 are code-complete; the signing
+  ceremony is done (release-root pinned in `anchor.rs`); the fleet flip is not yet authorized.
+- Workstream C (marketplace) is design-only (`docs/marketplace-protocol.md`); no tooling or
+  trust UX built. Developer CLI suite (`archy app …`) does not exist yet.
+- Phase-3 Quadlet default-flip is validated opt-in on .228/.198 but not default.
+- Declared next exit criteria: the multinode pass (`docs/multinode-testing-plan.md`) and the
+  remaining workstreams.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Validated
+
+- ✓ Single-node lifecycle gate green 5× on .228 (install/UI/stop/start/restart/reinstall/
+  reboot-survive/daemon-restart-survive/uninstall) — 2026-06-23
+- ✓ Manifest-driven app packaging for all ~40 apps incl. multi-container stacks (workstream A)
+- ✓ Signed catalog + release-root signing ceremony (workstream B phases 1+2, code-complete)
+
+### Active
+
+See `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` — 20 v1 requirements across MNODE / LIFE / REG / SEC / DEV / MKT,
+all mapped to phases in `.planning/ROADMAP.md`.
+
+### Out of Scope
+
+- Rootful containers, Docker, privileged containers — invariant (ADR-001/ADR-009)
+- Per-app Rust installers / OS-level provisioning — the anti-pattern being deleted
+- Centralized gatekept app store — decentralized Nostr marketplace instead (ADR-006)
+- Web5 DWN spec compliance — deprioritized after TBD shutdown (ADR-011)
+- Custom live voice-call protocol — deprioritized per user 2026-07-01; revisit later
+- DHT/iroh distribution backbone (workstream D) — design-only, tracker-marked backlog; v2
+
+## Context
+
+- Repo: `core/` Rust workspace (no root Cargo.toml), `neode-ui/` Vue frontend, `apps/` manifests,
+  `tests/lifecycle/` + `tests/multinode/` gates, `docs/` authoritative plans.
+- Authoritative narrative: `docs/PRODUCTION-MASTER-PLAN.md`; day-to-day open list:
+  `docs/UNIFIED-TASK-TRACKER.md`. Codebase map: `.planning/codebase/ARCHITECTURE.md` +
+  `.planning/codebase/CONCERNS.md`.
+- Known debt informing this milestone (from CONCERNS.md): federation tombstone-write errors
+  swallowed; reconciler has no flap observability and no failed-unit self-healing; generated
+  AppArmor profiles are never applied; multinode test harness curl calls lack timeouts;
+  SPEC validation is narrower than ADR-009's mandates (non-root UID, pinned tags, seccomp).
+- Fleet is live and OTA-updated; all destructive verification happens on designated test
+  nodes per the deploy roster — never uninvited on in-use nodes.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **Security**: Rootless Podman only; manifest-declared secrets (0600, never logged);
+  mandatory container security defaults enforced at manifest level (ADR-009)
+- **Data safety**: Migrations never destroy data — preserve `/var/lib/archipelago/<app>`,
+  secrets, credentials, ports, adoption container names; always a rollback path
+- **Verification**: Real-node verification before any tag; lifecycle gate runs ON the node,
+  not via RPC; mesh changes need real-RF E2E tests; re-run the gate after orchestrator changes
+- **Process**: Commit + push every unit of work (`git push gitea-ai main`); stage by explicit
+  path; deploy to the dev pair before any OTA; never commit secrets
+- **Tech stack**: Rust (Tokio/Hyper, JSON-RPC 2.0) backend; Vue 3 + Pinia frontend;
+  Quadlet/systemd-user container units; Ed25519-signed release artifacts
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+<decisions>
+
+All ten ADRs below are **locked** (Status: Accepted; ingest source `docs/adr/*.md`). They are
+non-negotiable inputs to planning and cannot be overridden without a new ADR.
+
+| ID | Decision | Scope |
+|----|----------|-------|
+| ADR-001 | Podman over Docker — rootless, daemonless, systemd-native; `archy-net` for inter-container DNS | Container runtime |
+| ADR-002 | `did:key` (Ed25519) node identity — self-contained, offline-capable; gaps mitigated via federation trust lists | Identity |
+| ADR-003 | Nostr relays (NIP-78, kind 30078) for node + app discovery — multi-relay query, 15-min cache, trust scoring, Tor-compatible | Discovery |
+| ADR-004 | Tor hidden services for inter-node RPC/control plane — bulk data via registries, not Tor | Federation transport |
+| ADR-005 | ChaCha20-Poly1305 + Argon2id (64MB, 3 iter) for backup encryption | Backups |
+| ADR-006 | Nostr relays for marketplace discovery — DID-signed manifests, trust tiers (Verified/Community/Unverified), signature verification before install | Marketplace |
+| ADR-007 | Bilateral DID federation trust via single-use invite codes; Trusted/Observer/Untrusted levels | Federation trust |
+| ADR-008 | Dual keys from one master seed — Ed25519 canonical identity, secp256k1 for Nostr/Bitcoin/Lightning, linked via NIP-05 | Keys |
+| ADR-009 | Manifest-level container security enforcement — readonly_root, no_new_privileges, non-root UID, drop-ALL caps, pinned tags, seccomp; overrides explicit + audited | Container security |
+| ADR-011 | DWN deprioritized — keep custom `dwn_store.rs`, stop branding as Web5, invest in Nostr + Tor federation instead | Peer data sync |
+
+(ADR-010 does not exist in the repo — numbering gap, noted in `.planning/INGEST-CONFLICTS.md`.)
+
+</decisions>
+
+Milestone-level decisions:
+
+| Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
+|----------|-----------|---------|
+| Milestone version = 1.8.0-alpha | Decided 2026-07-08 per tracker | — Pending ship |
+| Workstream D (DHT) deferred to v2 | Design-only, tracker-marked backlog; not needed for north-star metric | — Pending |
+| App manifest canonical schema = `core/container/src/manifest.rs` | SPEC self-declares code wins over doc | ✓ Good |

+# Requirements: Archipelago (v1.8.0 — Developer-Ready App Platform)
+
+**Defined:** 2026-07-29
+**Core Value:** A third-party developer can publish an app via the signed/decentralized registry and a user can install it on their node — manifest-driven, rootless, secure, robust.
+
+No PRDs existed in the ingest set; these requirements are derived from the master plan's
+declared exit criteria (multinode pass + workstreams B/C/F), `.planning/codebase/CONCERNS.md`,
+`docs/UNIFIED-TASK-TRACKER.md`, and the user-chosen success metric. Constraints from
+`docs/app-manifest-spec.md` and the locked ADRs (see PROJECT.md) bound how each is built.
+
+## v1 Requirements
+
+### Federation & Mesh Hardening (FED)
+
+- [ ] **FED-01**: Removing a federation node sticks — it disappears from every UI surface, tombstones propagate, it never reappears via later sync cycles, and a failed removal surfaces an error (never a silent no-op)
+- [ ] **FED-02**: Federation sync converges and is observable — after sync settles, fleet nodes agree on the node list with fresh status; stale entries, duplicates, and silent sync failures are eliminated and sync errors are operator-visible
+- [ ] **FED-03**: A structured code review of the federation/fleet area (`core/archipelago/src/federation`, node sync, FIPS/transport dial layer) and mesh area (`core/archipelago/src/mesh`, mesh RPC surface) is completed, with every finding fixed or explicitly deferred with a reason
+- [ ] **FED-04**: Mesh messaging parity — attachment send (and the rest of the mesh chat surface) behaves identically on the demo and on real nodes: the demo backend implements the same RPC surface the UI calls, transport decisions mirror the real size-based tier logic, and no demo-only modals exist
+- [ ] **FED-05**: Inter-node Lightning channel opening UX — the UI shows the node's shareable Lightning URI; lists trusted (federated) nodes by hostname for one-click channel opening; and lets the user browse/request channels with public nodes — using the existing design system and components, verified on the :8100 dev preview against archi-dev before deploy
+
+### UI Performance (PERF)
+
+- [ ] **PERF-01**: The slowest tab switches and secondary-screen opens are profiled with causes named (remount storms, serial RPC waterfalls, uncached fetches) — fixes are targeted, not guessed
+- [ ] **PERF-02**: Main-tab switches render immediately from cached state with background refresh — no blank screens or long spinners on tabs already visited this session
+- [ ] **PERF-03**: Secondary screens (screens reached from a tab's main page) open without a blocking full reload and are instant on repeat visits — verified on real node hardware, not just the dev box
+
+### Multinode Verification (MNODE)
+
+- [ ] **MNODE-01**: The 5× destructive lifecycle gate passes on a second fleet node (archy-x250-beta) with 0 failures, run on-node per gate policy
+- [ ] **MNODE-02**: Cross-node federation/mesh/transport suites (`tests/multinode/smoke.sh`, `meshtastic.sh`) pass between fleet nodes, with all harness RPC calls time-bounded (no indefinite curl hangs)
+- [ ] **MNODE-03**: Removing a federation peer sticks — tombstone-write failures are surfaced (not swallowed) and a removed peer never silently reappears after subsequent sync cycles
+
+### Lifecycle Perfection (LIFE)
+
+- [ ] **LIFE-01**: Quadlet backends are the default — restarting `archipelago.service` leaves every app container running (no SIGKILL-the-world, no multi-minute rebuild storm)
+- [ ] **LIFE-02**: The reconciler self-heals failed Quadlet units — a `.service` in `failed` state (and not user-stopped) is reset-failed + started automatically, with backoff against busy-looping
+- [ ] **LIFE-03**: Per-app restart/flap observability — restart counters, a threshold log line when an app restarts >N times in M minutes, and restart counts surfaced in health/status RPC output
+- [ ] **LIFE-04**: Cascade uninstall→reinstall is gate-verified for multi-container stacks and installed apps — no ghost entries, no orphan containers, data preserved per policy, reinstall returns healthy
+- [ ] **LIFE-05**: Install and uninstall report real, monotonic progress driven by backend progress events, always reaching a terminal success/failure state — asserted in the gate, never a fake or stuck bar
+
+### Registry-Distributed Manifests (REG)
+
+- [ ] **REG-01**: The published signed catalog embeds full app manifests; nodes install/update from signature-verified catalog manifests (disk manifests remain the fallback for build-source apps); tampered catalogs are rejected with safe fallback
+- [ ] **REG-02**: The fleet is flipped to registry-distributed manifests — adding or bumping an image-only app requires only a re-signed catalog publish, no binary OTA or disk rsync
+
+### Security Enforcement (SEC)
+
+- [ ] **SEC-01**: `AppManifest::validate()` enforces the full ADR-009 mandate set — non-root UID, pinned image tags (no `latest`), capability allow-list, seccomp — with explicit, documented, auditable overrides
+- [ ] **SEC-02**: Generated AppArmor/seccomp security profiles are actually applied at container creation (`--security-opt`) and verified effective on running apps
+
+### Developer Tooling (DEV)
+
+- [ ] **DEV-01**: `archy app validate` checks a manifest locally and returns the same pass/fail verdict the node enforces (schema + security rules)
+- [ ] **DEV-02**: `archy app render` previews the exact Quadlet/podman configuration a manifest produces
+- [ ] **DEV-03**: A developer can local-install and lifecycle-test an app against a dev node from the CLI (`archy app local-install` / `lifecycle-test`)
+- [ ] **DEV-04**: The developer guide walks a new third-party developer from an empty directory to an installed, running app using only the CLI and docs
+
+### Decentralized Marketplace (MKT)
+
+- [ ] **MKT-01**: A third-party developer can publish a DID-signed app manifest to public Nostr relays (NIP-78, kind 30078) via the tooling
+- [ ] **MKT-02**: A node discovers marketplace apps from multiple relays and displays each app's trust tier (Verified / Community / Unverified) per ADR-006 trust scoring
+- [ ] **MKT-03**: Manifest signatures are verified before installation; tampered or invalid marketplace manifests cannot be installed
+- [ ] **MKT-04**: End-to-end north star: a user installs a third-party marketplace-published app on their node and it runs healthy under the standard lifecycle guarantees
+
+## v2 Requirements
+
+Deferred to a future milestone. Tracked but not in the current roadmap.
+
+### Distribution Backbone (DIST)
+
+- **DIST-01**: BLAKE3 content-addressed catalog distribution via iroh swarm, origin-always-wins (workstream D — design-only today, tracker-marked backlog)
+
+### Fleet & Hardening (FLEET)
+
+- **FLEET-01**: Bitcoin multi-version fleet-wide OTA rollout (user-gated on timing per `docs/bitcoin-version-bulletproof-rollout.md`)
+- **FLEET-02**: App-specific health assertions for the ~34 apps with only baseline lifecycle coverage
+- **FLEET-03**: LUKS2 full-partition encryption for `/var/lib/archipelago/`
+- **FLEET-04**: Dynamic per-app resource rebalancing (cgroup-stats feedback loop)

+# Roadmap: Archipelago — v1.8.0 Developer-Ready App Platform
+
+## Overview
+
+Brownfield milestone starting from a green single-node production gate (5/5 on .228,
+2026-06-23). The journey: make federation and mesh rock-solid (node removal, sync,
+messaging parity), fix the UI slowness users feel on every tab switch, prove the platform
+across the fleet (multinode pass), make the container lifecycle bulletproof (Quadlet
+default, self-healing, honest progress, no ghosts), flip manifest distribution from OTA
+disk files to the signed registry, harden manifest security enforcement to the full
+ADR-009 bar, ship the `archy app` developer CLI, and land the decentralized Nostr
+marketplace — ending at the north star: a third-party developer publishes an app via the
+signed/decentralized registry and a user installs it on their node.
+
+## Phases
+
+**Phase Numbering:**
+- Integer phases (1, 2, 3): Planned milestone work
+- Decimal phases (2.1, 2.2): Urgent insertions (marked with INSERTED)
+
+- [ ] **Phase 1: Federation & Mesh Hardening** - Deep review of federation/fleet + mesh code; node removal sticks, sync converges, mesh messaging behaves identically on demo and real nodes
+- [ ] **Phase 2: UI Performance** - Tab switches and secondary screens render fast; worst transitions measured and fixed
+- [ ] **Phase 3: Multinode Verification Pass** - Lifecycle gate green on a second node; cross-node federation/mesh/transport suites pass; federation removal sticks
+- [ ] **Phase 4: Lifecycle Perfection & Quadlet Default** - Quadlet backends default, failed-unit self-healing, flap observability, cascade gate, truthful progress
+- [ ] **Phase 5: Registry-Distributed Manifests** - Signed catalog carries full manifests; fleet flipped off OTA disk-file distribution
+- [ ] **Phase 6: Manifest Security Enforcement** - Validation matches ADR-009 mandates; generated security profiles actually applied
+- [ ] **Phase 7: Developer Tooling CLI** - `archy app validate/render/local-install/lifecycle-test` + developer guide
+- [ ] **Phase 8: Decentralized Marketplace** - DID-signed publish to Nostr relays, trust-tier discovery, verified third-party install end-to-end
+
+## Phase Details
+
+### Phase 1: Federation & Mesh Hardening
+**Goal**: Federation and mesh are tight — a structured review of the fleet/federation and mesh code feeds fixes so node removal sticks, sync converges, and mesh messaging (including attachments) behaves identically everywhere it runs
+**Depends on**: Nothing (first phase)
+**Requirements**: FED-01, FED-02, FED-03, FED-04, FED-05
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. A structured code review of the federation/fleet area (`core/archipelago/src/federation`, node sync, FIPS/transport dial layer) and the mesh area (`core/archipelago/src/mesh`, mesh RPC surface) produces a findings list, and every finding is fixed or explicitly deferred with a reason
+  2. Removing a federation node removes it everywhere — it disappears from all UI surfaces, tombstones propagate, and it never reappears after later sync cycles; a failed removal surfaces an error instead of silently no-opping
+  3. Federation sync converges: after sync settles, fleet nodes agree on the node list and node status is fresh — stale entries, duplicates, and silent sync failures are gone, and sync errors are visible to the operator
+  4. Mesh attachment send works identically on the demo and on real nodes — same modals, same transport decisions, same success — with the demo backend implementing the same RPC surface the UI calls (no "Method not found", no demo-only chooser modal)
+  5. Channel-opening between nodes is first-class UI: a user can copy/share their node's Lightning URI; sees a list of trusted (federated) nodes by hostname to open a channel with in one flow; and can browse/request channels with public nodes — built with the existing design system (Teleport-to-body modals, house style), tested live on the :8100 dev preview against archi-dev, and fixed there before any deploy
+**Plans**: TBD
+**UI hint**: yes
+
+### Phase 2: UI Performance
+**Goal**: The UI feels fast — switching tabs and opening secondary screens (screens reached from a tab's main page) renders promptly instead of stalling on refetches and remounts
+**Depends on**: Nothing (frontend-focused; parallelizable with Phase 1)
+**Requirements**: PERF-01, PERF-02, PERF-03
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. The slowest tab switches and secondary-screen opens are profiled and the causes named (remount storms, serial RPC waterfalls, uncached fetches) before fixes land
+  2. Switching between main tabs renders the target view immediately from cached state, refreshing data in the background — no blank screens or long spinners on tabs already visited this session
+  3. Secondary screens open without a blocking full reload; repeat visits are instant
+  4. The fixes are verified on real node hardware (not just the dev box) — the sluggishness the user reported is gone on-device
+**Plans**: TBD
+**UI hint**: yes
+
+### Phase 3: Multinode Verification Pass
+**Goal**: The platform's lifecycle and federation guarantees are proven across the fleet, not just on .228 — the declared next exit criterion
+**Depends on**: Phase 1 (proves the federation/mesh fixes hold fleet-wide)
+**Requirements**: MNODE-01, MNODE-02, MNODE-03
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. The 5× destructive lifecycle gate reports 0 failures on a second fleet node (archy-x250-beta), run on-node
+  2. The cross-node smoke suite (federation pairing both directions, FIPS anchors, peer content browse) passes between two fleet nodes with every harness RPC time-bounded — a slow node produces a test failure, never an indefinite hang
+  3. An operator who removes a federation peer never sees it reappear in the peer list after later sync cycles; a tombstone-write failure is surfaced as an error instead of silently swallowed
+  4. The on-air mesh suite passes between two radio-equipped nodes over real RF
+**Plans**: TBD
+
+### Phase 4: Lifecycle Perfection & Quadlet Default
+**Goal**: An insanely-reliable container environment — every app installs, runs, restarts, uninstalls, and reinstalls cleanly with honest progress, no ghosts, and automatic recovery
+**Depends on**: Phase 3 (Quadlet default-flip is gated on the second-node gate reporting clean)
+**Requirements**: LIFE-01, LIFE-02, LIFE-03, LIFE-04, LIFE-05
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. Restarting `archipelago.service` on a fleet node leaves every app container running — no SIGKILL-the-world, no multi-minute reconciler rebuild
+  2. An app whose Quadlet unit enters `failed` state (and was not user-stopped) comes back automatically within a bounded window, with backoff on persistent failure — no operator intervention
+  3. An operator can see per-app restart counts in status output, and a flapping app (>N restarts in M minutes) is flagged in logs instead of being invisible
+  4. Uninstalling then reinstalling any gated app — including multi-container stacks like immich/btcpay — leaves no ghost My-Apps entries or orphan containers, preserves data per policy, and returns the app healthy, verified by the cascade gate tier
+  5. Install and uninstall progress bars move monotonically from real backend progress events and always land on a terminal success/failure state — asserted in the gate, and the single-node gate stays green after all orchestrator changes
+**Plans**: TBD
+**UI hint**: yes
+
+### Phase 5: Registry-Distributed Manifests
+**Goal**: Manifests ship via the signed registry, not OTA disk files — bumping or adding an app becomes a signed catalog change
+**Depends on**: Phase 4 (fleet lifecycle stable under Quadlet default before changing the distribution channel)
+**Requirements**: REG-01, REG-02
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. A fleet node installs and updates an image-only app from the full manifest embedded in the signed catalog, verified against the pinned release-root key, with no corresponding OTA disk file present (disk remains the fallback for build-source apps)
+  2. A tampered or unsigned catalog manifest is rejected and the node falls back safely — it never installs from an unverified manifest
+  3. Bumping an app version fleet-wide requires only regenerating, re-signing, and publishing the catalog — no binary OTA, no disk rsync — proven live on the fleet
+**Plans**: TBD
+
+### Phase 6: Manifest Security Enforcement
+**Goal**: A third-party manifest cannot weaken node security — declared security policy is fully validated and actually enforced at runtime
+**Depends on**: Phase 5 (enforcement guards the registry channel third-party manifests will arrive through)
+**Requirements**: SEC-01, SEC-02
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. A manifest violating ADR-009 mandates (root user, unpinned `latest` tag, capability outside the allow-list, disabled seccomp) is rejected at validation with a clear error naming the violation
+  2. Security overrides (`readonly_root: false`, extra capabilities) work only when explicitly listed in the manifest and leave an audit trail
+  3. Generated AppArmor/seccomp profiles are applied to containers at creation and verifiably effective on a running app — not just generated and ignored
+  4. The single-node lifecycle gate stays green with enforcement on — existing catalog apps all pass the strengthened validation (or carry documented overrides)
+**Plans**: TBD
+
+### Phase 7: Developer Tooling CLI
+**Goal**: A third-party developer can build, validate, and test an Archipelago app locally without reading platform internals
+**Depends on**: Phase 6 (CLI validation must mirror the final enforced rule set)
+**Requirements**: DEV-01, DEV-02, DEV-03, DEV-04
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. A developer runs `archy app validate` on a manifest directory and gets the same pass/fail verdict — including security rules — that a node would enforce at install
+  2. A developer runs `archy app render` and sees the exact Quadlet/podman configuration their manifest produces before ever touching a node
+  3. A developer can install their app onto a dev node and run its lifecycle test (install/UI/stop/start/restart/uninstall) from the CLI
+  4. A new developer following only the developer guide goes from an empty directory to a running app on a node — no tribal knowledge required
+**Plans**: TBD
+
+### Phase 8: Decentralized Marketplace
+**Goal**: The north star — third-party developers publish apps via the decentralized registry and users install them on their nodes
+**Depends on**: Phase 7 (publish rides the CLI; installs ride registry distribution from Phase 5 and enforcement from Phase 6)
+**Requirements**: MKT-01, MKT-02, MKT-03, MKT-04
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. A third-party developer publishes a DID-signed app manifest to public Nostr relays (NIP-78, kind 30078) using the tooling
+  2. A node discovers the published app from multiple relays and the app store UI shows its trust tier (Verified / Community / Unverified) per ADR-006 scoring
+  3. The node verifies the manifest signature before installation; a tampered or invalid marketplace manifest cannot be installed
+  4. A user installs the third-party marketplace-published app on their node and it runs healthy under the standard lifecycle guarantees — the user-chosen success metric, demonstrated end-to-end
+**Plans**: TBD
+**UI hint**: yes

+## Accumulated Context
+
+### Roadmap Evolution
+
+- Phase 1 added (2026-07-29): Federation & Mesh Hardening — user-directed top priority (node removal/sync issues, mesh attachment parity incl. demo); prior phases shifted down
+- Phase 2 added (2026-07-29): UI Performance — slow tab switches and secondary screens; prior phases shifted down
+- FED-05 added to Phase 1 (2026-07-29): inter-node Lightning channel-opening UX (share node URI, pick trusted/federated nodes by hostname, request channels with public nodes); UI tested on :8100 dev preview against archi-dev before deploy
+
+### Decisions
+
+Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md (10 locked ADRs in the `<decisions>` block + milestone decisions table). Recent decisions affecting current work:
+
+- Milestone version = 1.8.0-alpha (decided 2026-07-08)
+- Phase-3 Quadlet default-flip is gated on the second-node gate reporting clean (do fresh, never stage uncommitted)
+- Workstream D (DHT distribution) deferred to v2 — design-only backlog
+- Canonical manifest schema = `core/container/src/manifest.rs` (code wins over spec doc)
+
+### Pending Todos
+
+None yet.
+
+### Blockers/Concerns
+
+- [Phase 1] Federation tombstone fix touches trust code — fix carefully, re-verify with `tests/multinode/smoke.sh`, don't patch blind
+- [Phase 3] Multinode gate on archy-x250-beta was launched 2026-07-01 (log on-node); verify outcome before re-running
+- [Phase 5] Fleet registry flip awaits explicit user authorization + timing call
+- [Phase 6] Strengthened ADR-009 validation may reject existing catalog apps — audit manifests before enforcement lands
+- [Global] Live OTA fleet: deploy to the dev pair before any OTA; gate re-runs required after orchestrator changes; some verification is user/hardware-gated (radios, on-device tests)

+## Pattern Overview
+
+**Overall:** Multi-tier async architecture with centralized request dispatch and broadcast state synchronization.
+
+**Key Characteristics:**
+- **Async-first (Tokio)** - All I/O operations are non-blocking; task spawning for background work
+- **RPC-driven API** - Frontend communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 (not REST); single `/api/v0` WebSocket + HTTP endpoint
+- **State as broadcast** - Global state changes flow through Tokio broadcast channels to all connected WebSocket clients
+- **Manifest-driven containers** - App lifecycle controlled by declarative YAML manifests (Archipelago-specific extensions)
+- **Plugin architecture** - Apps are isolated Podman containers with declarative interfaces (web UI, ports, secrets)
+
+## Layers
+
+**HTTP/Transport Layer:**
+- Purpose: Accept inbound connections, handle TLS termination, demultiplex HTTP/WebSocket
+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/server.rs`
+- Contains: Hyper listener, TCP accept loop, connection state tracking
+- Depends on: Tokio, Hyper, TLS/mTLS libraries (rustls/openssl)
+- Used by: All external clients (web UI, companion app, API consumers)
+
+**Request Routing & Auth Layer:**
+- Purpose: Dispatch HTTP requests to handlers, validate sessions, enforce CSRF, rate-limit login
+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/api/` (handler + rpc submodules)
+- Contains: Route matching, middleware chain, cookie extraction, error formatting
+- Depends on: Server, StateManager, SessionStore
+- Used by: All request paths; gates API access
+
+**RPC Dispatch Layer:**
+- Purpose: Deserialize JSON-RPC 2.0 requests, call appropriate service method, serialize responses
+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mod.rs` + subdirectories (auth.rs, container.rs, bitcoin.rs, etc.)
+- Contains: Method table, parameter validation, response formatting, rate limit checks
+- Depends on: All service modules
+- Used by: Frontend (WebSocket + HTTP POST to /api/v0), internal tools
+
+**Service Layer:**
+- Purpose: Implement business logic — container lifecycle, identity, auth, content sync, mesh discovery
+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/*` (one RPC module per domain), plus `core/archipelago/src/` (background tasks)
+- Contains: ~40 RPC method modules + 50+ core service modules (bootstrap.rs, health_monitor.rs, crash_recovery.rs, etc.)
+- Depends on: StateManager, ContainerOrchestrator, config/secrets, external services (Bitcoin, Lightning, FIPS)
+- Used by: RPC layer; other services for cross-cutting concerns (mesh, federation, webhooks)
+

+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/state.rs` (StateManager + data_model.rs)
+- Contains: RwLock<DataModel>, broadcast channel, revision counter
+- Depends on: DataModel (serde-serializable struct tree)
+- Used by: All services that mutate state (container ops, auth, settings)
+
+**Container Orchestration Layer:**
+- Purpose: Podman lifecycle management, image verification, secret injection, crash recovery, adoption
+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs` (1M+ lines; split across boot_reconciler.rs, quadlet.rs, docker_packages.rs, etc.)
+- Contains: Manifest parsing, image pull/verify, container create/start/stop, volume mounts, networking
+- Depends on: Podman CLI + socket, config parser, image registries, local filesystem
+- Used by: RPC container.* methods, BootReconciler loop, crash recovery
+
+**Frontend Layer (Vue 3):**
+- Purpose: Render UI, dispatch RPC calls, maintain local UI state, handle user input
+- Location: `neode-ui/src/`
+- Contains: Views (pages), Components (reusable UI), Composables (logic hooks), Stores (Pinia), Router
+- Depends on: Vue 3, Vue Router, Pinia, RPC client library (custom), D3/Leaflet (charts/maps)
+- Used by: Browser clients (desktop, mobile, companion app via WebView)
+
+## Data Flow
+
+### Primary Request Path (User Action → Backend → State Sync)
+
+1. **Frontend user interaction** (click button, type input) → Vue component event handler
+   - Location: `neode-ui/src/views/*.vue` or `neode-ui/src/components/*.vue`
+
+2. **Composable dispatches RPC** (e.g., `useContainerInstall()` calls `rpc.container.install()`)
+   - Location: `neode-ui/src/composables/` (custom or imported from `api/rpc-client.ts`)
+
+3. **RPC client serializes → HTTP/WebSocket POST to /api/v0**
+   - Location: `neode-ui/src/api/rpc-client.ts`
+   - Payload: `{ jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "container.install", params: {...}, id: ... }`
+
+4. **HTTP Server receives, routes to ApiHandler**
+   - Location: `core/archipelago/src/server.rs` (listener) → `core/archipelago/src/api/handler/mod.rs` (dispatch)
+
+5. **ApiHandler checks auth**, extracts body, calls RpcHandler
+   - Location: `core/archipelago/src/api/handler/mod.rs:handle_request()`
+
+6. **RpcHandler dispatches by method name** to specific RPC module
+   - Location: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mod.rs:call()` → routing to `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/container.rs:install()`
+
+7. **Service method executes** (e.g., `container.rs:install()` calls orchestrator, updates state)
+   - Location: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/container.rs` (calls methods on ContainerOrchestrator)
+
+8. **StateManager.update_data()** broadcasts the new state to all WebSocket subscribers
+   - Location: `core/archipelago/src/state.rs:update_data()` → broadcast channel
+   - All connected WebSocket clients receive `{ rev: N, data: {...} }` update
+
+9. **Frontend receives state update**, updates Pinia stores, re-renders UI
+   - Location: `neode-ui/src/stores/` (Pinia stores mutate) → Vue reactivity chain → DOM update
+
+**State Management:**
+- All reads from `StateManager` go through `get_snapshot()` which acquires read-lock
+- All writes go through `update_data()` which acquires write-lock + increments revision
+- Broadcast channel has ~100-message buffer; slow subscribers may lose old updates (by design — UI only needs latest)
+- WebSocket clients re-sync on reconnect via `get_snapshot()` call (full state transfer)
+
+### Secondary Flow: Scheduled Reconciliation (Convergence Loop)
+
+1. **BootReconciler spawned at startup** in `main.rs`
+   - Location: `core/archipelago/src/main.rs` (line ~338-348)
+
+2. **Reconciler runs every `RECONCILER_DEFAULT_INTERVAL`** (~30s typical)
+   - Location: `core/archipelago/src/container/boot_reconciler.rs:run_forever()`
+
+3. **Compares desired manifests (disk + registry catalog) vs actual Podman state**
+   - Looks for: containers missing, containers orphaned, image updates, secret changes
+
+4. **Applies remediation** (create, delete, restart containers)
+   - Calls: orchestrator.reconcile_*() methods
+
+5. **Logs changes, broadcasts state update if anything changed**
+   - Frontend receives update, shows user the reconciled app state
+
+This ensures apps survive crashes, OTA updates, or manual Podman edits — the desired state always converges.
+
+## Key Abstractions
+
+**ContainerOrchestrator trait:**
+- Purpose: Abstract container lifecycle behind a trait so Prod (Podman-based) and Dev (in-memory) modes can coexist
+- Examples: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs`, `core/archipelago/src/container/dev_orchestrator.rs`
+- Pattern: Trait-based strategy; RpcHandler holds `Arc<dyn ContainerOrchestrator>`, switches at runtime
+- Methods: create, start, stop, delete, adopt, list, reconcile, install, upgrade
+
+**Manifest (YAML-based declarative app):**
+- Purpose: Fully describe an app's container, dependencies, secrets, ports, UI in one file
+- Examples: `/opt/archipelago/apps/*/manifest.yml` (on-disk) or registry-delivered catalogs
+- Pattern: Custom extensions over OCI/Docker Compose (e.g., `interfaces.main.ui`, `generated_secrets`)
+- Parsed into: `container::manifest::Manifest` struct, consumed by orchestrator
+
+**RPC Method Modules:**
+- Purpose: Group related JSON-RPC methods by domain (auth, container, bitcoin, mesh, etc.)
+- Examples: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/auth.rs`, `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/bitcoin.rs`
+- Pattern: Each module exports `pub async fn method_name(handler, params) -> Result<Response>`
+- Registration: Hardcoded dispatch in `RpcHandler::call()` (no reflection; methods are explicit)
+
+**BlobStore (Content-Addressed):**
+- Purpose: Store attachments/files by SHA-256 hash; issue time-limited capability tokens for access
+- Examples: Used by mesh.send-content, federation attachments, backup archives
+- Pattern: Capability-based access control (CBAC); tokens scoped to issuer pubkey + hash
+- Located: `core/archipelago/src/blobs.rs` + `core/archipelago/src/content_server.rs`
+
+**StateManager + DataModel:**
+- Purpose: Single source of truth for UI state; broadcast updates to all clients
+- Pattern: Read-write lock over a serde-serializable struct tree; broadcast channel for efficiency
+- Persistence: Most state is ephemeral (app listings, UI settings); durable state persists to disk separately
+- Clients: Frontend (WebSocket subscriber), internal services (read via get_snapshot), monitoring/debug
+
+**Session Store:**
+- Purpose: Track authenticated HTTP sessions (cookie → user identity mapping)
+- Examples: SQLite-backed or in-memory store
+- Pattern: Session token issued at login, validated on each request, expires after TTL
+- Used by: ApiHandler auth check, rate limiter (per IP + per user)
+
+## Entry Points
+
+**Backend Daemon (Binary):**
+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/main.rs`
+- Triggers: `systemd start archipelago.service` or manual `./archipelago` on development node
+- Responsibilities: Parse config, init tracing, load/reconcile containers, start HTTP server, spawn background tasks
+- Key setup: Load identity → setup auth → spawn orchestrator → load manifests → start reconciler → start server
+
+**Frontend SPA:**
+- Location: `neode-ui/src/main.ts`
+- Triggers: Browser loads `/index.html` (served by HTTP server from `/opt/archipelago/web-ui/`)
+- Responsibilities: Boot Vue app, setup Router, setup Pinia stores, establish WebSocket to backend
+- Key setup: Mount app → router ready → fetch initial state → subscribe to updates
+
+**RPC Endpoints (HTTP + WebSocket):**
+- Location: `core/archipelago/src/api/` (handler routes requests here)
+- Endpoint: `/api/v0` (JSON-RPC 2.0 POST or WebSocket upgrade)
+- Methods: ~200+ RPCs across domains (auth, container, bitcoin, mesh, federation, etc.)
+- Example: `POST /api/v0` with body `{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "auth.login", "params": {...}, "id": 1}`
+
+**Background Tasks (Spawned at startup):**
+- BootReconciler: Periodic manifest reconciliation loop
+- Health Monitor: Periodic app health checks + restart
+- Update Scheduler: Periodic app update checks
+- Mesh Service: P2P mesh listener + sender (federation, LoRa)
+- Webhook Relay: Listens for inbound webhooks, broadcasts to subscribers
+- WebSocket Listener: Upgraded HTTP connections → broadcast state subscriber
+- See: `core/archipelago/src/main.rs` (lines ~400-450 show the spawned tasks)
+
+## Architectural Constraints
+
+- **Single event loop** — All I/O-bound work runs on a single Tokio multi-threaded runtime; no worker threads by default (some container ops are blocking, run in tokio::task::spawn_blocking)
+- **Global state via broadcast** — StateManager broadcasts to all WebSocket clients; no request-response for state changes (async by design)
+- **Container state mutability** — Podman state can drift from manifest (manual edits, crashes); reconciler runs periodically to converge
+- **No in-process data consistency** — Multiple services can mutate StateManager concurrently; last write wins (fine for UI; critical ops use locks)
+- **Shared blob store** — All services that need to share content use the same BlobStore instance (single cap_key, single root directory)
+- **Rate limiting per IP + method** — Prevents brute-force login, but shared IPs see shared limits (edge case: family users, proxies)
+- **Session cookie same-site** — WebSocket + HTTP POST must be same-origin; CORS headers controlled by ApiHandler
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+### Circular RPC Dispatches
+
+**What happens:** An RPC method calls back into another RPC method, forming a cycle (e.g., auth.login → container.list → auth.check_permission → auth.login)
+**Why it's wrong:** Deadlocks on RwLocks, infinite loops on state broadcasts, unclear error messages, hard to debug
+**Do this instead:** Pass check result as a side-effect from the outer method; compute permissions once at the start. Use composable patterns in frontend instead (e.g., `useCanInstall()` checks perms once per component mount).
+
+### Synchronous blocking in RPC handlers
+
+**What happens:** RPC method calls `.unwrap()` on Podman command result, blocking the entire event loop
+**Why it's wrong:** One slow container op (e.g., large image pull) blocks all concurrent users
+**Do this instead:** Use `tokio::task::spawn_blocking()` for I/O that may take >100ms. See `core/archipelago/src/container/docker_packages.rs` for examples.
+
+### Hardcoding paths in app RPC modules
+
+**What happens:** `bitcoin.rs` hardcodes `/opt/archipelago/data/bitcoin.conf` instead of using `config.data_dir`
+**Why it's wrong:** Dev mode, tests, and alternate installs all fail with "not found"
+**Do this instead:** Read from `Config` struct, which is passed to every RPC method. See `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/bitcoin.rs:status()` for correct pattern.
+
+### Frontend state outside Pinia stores
+
+**What happens:** Components use component-local ref<> for app list, duplicate the StateManager's data
+**Why it's wrong:** Stale data after OTA updates, inconsistent with other users on the same node, race conditions on install/uninstall
+**Do this instead:** Always derive from Pinia stores (e.g., `useAppStore().apps`). Stores subscribe to WebSocket updates. See `neode-ui/src/stores/appStore.ts`.
+
+### Not handling WebSocket reconnection
+
+**What happens:** Frontend goes offline for 10s (network glitch), WebSocket closes, frontend doesn't re-sync state
+**Why it's wrong:** UI shows stale data (app still "installing" when actually done), user clicks again, double-action happens
+**Do this instead:** WebSocket reconnect handler should re-fetch full state (`node.status`, etc.), re-subscribe. See `neode-ui/src/api/rpc-client.ts` for the reconnect loop.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+**Strategy:** Defensive layering — errors are caught at each tier, logged, and converted to user-facing messages.
+
+**Patterns:**
+- HTTP layer: 4xx/5xx with JSON error (no 500s for logic errors; only for crashes)
+- RPC layer: Serialize error as `{ error: { code: N, message: "...", data: {...} } }` per JSON-RPC spec
+- Service layer: Use `anyhow::Result<T>` + `?` operator for early exit; convert to `RpcError` at handler boundary
+- Frontend: Catch RPC errors, show toast/modal, log to console (never crash the app)
+
+**Critical paths:**
+- Auth failure: 401 Unauthorized + "Invalid password" (no "user not found" to leak usernames)
+- Container ops: If reconciler sees drift, logs it but continues (never crashes the daemon)
+- Image pull failure: Fallback to last-cached version if network timeout (user is never blocked on external registries)
+- Podman socket unavailable: Return 503 Service Unavailable (user sees "Archipelago is starting")

+# Codebase Concerns
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2026-07-29
+
+## Tech Debt
+
+**Federation node removal tombstone gap:**
+- Issue: `federation::remove_node()` (`core/archipelago/src/federation/storage.rs:180-197`) calls `tombstone_did()` at line 193 but explicitly drops the error with `let _ = …`. If tombstone write fails (disk I/O, permission, transient), the peer is removed from `nodes.json` but never actually recorded as removed, so the next background sync/notify-join silently re-adds it.
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/federation/storage.rs:180-197`, `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/federation/handlers.rs:272-300`
+- Impact: Federation peers marked for removal can reappear after the next sync cycle, confusing the operator and potentially re-establishing unwanted connections.
+- Fix approach: Surface the tombstone-write failure instead of swallowing it; consider retry logic with backoff; add integration test via `tests/multinode/smoke.sh` to verify removal sticks across sync cycles.
+
+**Container reconciler observability gap:**
+- Issue: No metrics distinguish "settling after restart" from "flapping" — container thrashing is invisible until anecdotal reports. No per-app restart counter or log line when an app restarts >N times in M minutes.
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs` (reconciler loop), `core/archipelago/src/health_monitor.rs`
+- Impact: Silent restart storms go unnoticed; users see frequent service interruptions without diagnostics; operator can't distinguish normal convergence from a crash loop.
+- Fix approach: Add per-app restart counter + log line when threshold exceeded; emit metric on each restart; wire restart count into health/status RPC output.
+
+**Failed systemd unit self-healing gap:**
+- Issue: When a Quadlet-backed app's `.service` unit enters `failed` state (e.g., exit 255), the reconciler does not automatically `reset-failed` + `start` it. The unit sits failed until the operator manually intervenes or the service restarts.
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs` (reconcile loop)
+- Impact: Apps with transient failures go down and stay down; no automatic recovery; operator must manually reset or restart the orchestrator.
+- Fix approach: Add reconcile step: quadlet-backed app whose `.service` is `failed` and not user-stopped → call `systemctl --user reset-failed <unit>` + `start`; add backoff to avoid busy-loop on persistent failures.
+
+**Bitcoin RPC credentials not retrieved from config/secrets:**
+- Issue: `core/container/src/bitcoin_simulator.rs:158` has a TODO marking hardcoded (or missing) RPC credentials in the Bitcoin simulator real-mode path. Credentials should be fetched from the secret store.
+- Files: `core/container/src/bitcoin_simulator.rs:155-165`
+- Impact: Bitcoin simulator in real mode (Testnet/Mainnet) cannot authenticate to the node; RPC calls fail.
+- Fix approach: Inject `SecretsProvider` into `BitcoinSimulator::new()` or pass credentials as constructor args; fetch via `config/secrets` at runtime; handle credential rotation.
+
+**Container security policies not wired in:**
+- Issue: `core/security/src/container_policies.rs` generates AppArmor/SELinux profiles but the `apply_profile()` function has a TODO at line 71: "Configure Podman to use the profile" — the profiles are generated but never applied to running containers.
+- Files: `core/security/src/container_policies.rs:63-75`
+- Impact: Security profiles exist but provide zero protection; containers run without the intended isolation constraints.
+- Fix approach: Pass `--security-opt apparmor=<profile>` (or SELinux equivalent) to Podman at container creation; verify profile loads via `apparmor_status`; add CI check that profiles compile cleanly.
+
+**Dynamic resource adjustment not implemented:**
+- Issue: `core/performance/src/resource_manager.rs:86` has a TODO for dynamic resource adjustment based on usage. The allocator is static; no adaptive rebalancing when load patterns shift.
+- Files: `core/performance/src/resource_manager.rs:86-88`
+- Impact: Resource allocation is rigid; a node with skewed usage (e.g., one app consuming all memory) has no mechanism to rebalance dynamically.
+- Fix approach: Monitor per-app resource usage via cgroup stats; implement feedback loop to adjust limits; gate on production deployment (likely Phase 3+).
+
+## Known Bugs
+
+**Multinode RPC robustness gap:**
+- Symptoms: The `node_rpc()` function in `tests/multinode/lib/multinode.bash` lacks `--max-time` on curl calls — a slow server-side RPC can hang the test suite indefinitely with zero feedback.
+- Files: `tests/multinode/lib/multinode.bash` (exact line TBD; see grep for `node_rpc`)
+- Trigger: Run multinode federation/mesh test against a slow or overloaded node; curl will block forever.
+- Workaround: Manually kill the test process and diagnose the hanging RPC manually; no automatic timeout recovery.
+- Fix approach: Add `--max-time 30` to all curl calls in `node_rpc()`; re-run `tests/multinode/smoke.sh` to verify.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+**Secrets environment variable exposure risk:**
+- Risk: Bitcoin and other service credentials are materialized as env vars in `ARCHIPELAGO_*` (e.g., `BITCOIN_RPC_PASSWORD`). Env vars are visible via `/proc/<pid>/environ` and potentially logged.
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs`, `core/container/src/manifest.rs`, `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package/config.rs`
+- Current mitigation: Secrets are declared as `generated_secrets` in manifests and materialized 0600/rootless; the orchestrator avoids logging values.
+- Recommendations: Audit all env-var passing to containers; consider switching high-sensitivity secrets (bitcoin RPC, LND macaroons) to file-based secrets mounted read-only; add audit logging for secret access.
+
+**Federation DID validation incomplete:**
+- Risk: Federation peer DIDs are added via the RPC without cryptographic verification of ownership. A compromised peer could advertise arbitrary DIDs.
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/federation/handlers.rs` (add-node path), `core/archipelago/src/federation/storage.rs`
+- Current mitigation: DIDs are stored locally; transitive federation discovery uses the tombstone list to block removed peers.
+- Recommendations: Add DID-ownership proof (e.g., signed proof-of-identity) before accepting a peer's advertised DID; document the trust model; consider user warnings when adding peers.
+
+**AppArmor profiles overly permissive:**
+- Risk: Generated AppArmor profiles use blanket `network,` instead of per-port/protocol rules. Readonly flag is checkbox only, not enforced per actual app needs.
+- Files: `core/security/src/container_policies.rs:46-54`
+- Current mitigation: None (profiles not applied).
+- Recommendations: Refine per-app capabilities based on manifest's declared needs; add integration test verifying readonly mounts are enforced; apply profiles in development before prod.
+
+## Performance Bottlenecks
+
+**Container thrashing during reconcile:**
+- Problem: Restarting `archipelago.service` SIGKILLs every container, forcing a full rebuild over several minutes. Uninstall + reinstall loops can cascade-trigger restarts.
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs` (the reconciler's desired-state machine)
+- Cause: Pre-Phase-3 architecture: containers run in systemd cgroup, not as independent Quadlet units.
+- Improvement path: Phase-3 Quadlet default-flip (`config.rs:256`) — each app becomes an independent `.container` unit; restart only the affected app, not the entire cgroup.
+
+**Reconciler churn on boot:**
+- Problem: Boot reconciler makes multiple passes reconciling drift; during each pass, containers may be recreated. Post-OTA health checks deliberately skip per-app container assertions because of restart-storm unpredictability.
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs`, `core/archipelago/src/bootstrap.rs`
+- Cause: Multi-pass reconciliation + no incremental diff detection.
+- Improvement path: Consolidate reconciler into single pass for boot; cache manifest/config diffs to avoid redundant comparisons; add boot-only fast-path.
+
+**Bitcoin IBD on .198 stalled (disk I/O):**
+- Problem: .198 bitcoin is mid-IBD with only 21% progress; disk is 448GB (below 1TB archival threshold); load is high (~3–5).
+- Files: `tests/multinode-testing-plan.md` (documented issue)
+- Cause: Undersized/slow disk; concurrent workload.
+- Improvement path: User decision required: swap in a different node (already done for gate run, using .5 instead) or add storage + wait for sync. Not a code issue.
+
+## Fragile Areas
+
+**Uninstall + reinstall lifecycle:**
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package/install.rs`, `core/archipelago/src/container/quadlet.rs:disable_remove()`, `neode-ui/src/components/AppCard.vue`
+- Why fragile: Pre-2026-07-26, `quadlet::disable_remove()` called systemd + podman with no timeouts, causing hangs. Fixed by commit `71cc9ac4` (added `QUADLET_STOP_TIMEOUT`, SIGKILL escalation, reset-failed). AppCard was hardcoding uninstall bar to "stuck full-red" (fixed `9f17ba68`). Tests for reinstall/cascade are still opt-in.
+- Safe modification: Any changes to the uninstall path must be tested via `cascade-uninstall.bats` (7/7 on .228); extend coverage to multi-container stacks (immich, btcpay). Verify on .228 before fleet roll.
+- Test coverage: `tests/lifecycle/bats/cascade-uninstall.bats` exists but not in canonical gate; must opt-in with `ARCHY_GATE_CASCADE=1`.
+
+**Production orchestrator state machine:**
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs` (6291 lines)
+- Why fragile: Largest file in the codebase; owns install/start/stop/restart/remove/upgrade for every app; per-app mutex + RwLock concurrency model; complex dependency resolution, adoption scan, Quadlet rendering, and host-port-wait logic interleaved.
+- Safe modification: Understand the per-app mutex protocol before touching state mutation; test all changes via the lifecycle gate on .228; use the adoption scan + manifest merge logic for any new manifest evolution.
+- Test coverage: 667 unit tests green (2026-07-01); lifecycle gate covers ~8 core apps; ~30 apps untested in gate.
+
+**Mesh radio configuration + boot race:**
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/mesh/meshtastic.rs`, `core/archipelago/src/mesh/mod.rs`, tests at `tests/lifecycle/bats/meshtastic.bats`
+- Why fragile: Radio boot-race fixed (2026-07-28, `a8c4694c`/`3f76b496`); on-air config apply must finish before device is used. Earlier versions had probe-boot-race + live config propagation issues. Must verify on real hardware.
+- Safe modification: Any mesh changes require E2E test on real LoRa radios (dev-box ↔ x250-dev, or fleet broadcast); unit tests alone won't catch RF timing issues.
+- Test coverage: 8-stage on-air smoke test in `tests/multinode/meshtastic.sh` (run manually; not in canonical gate).
+
+**Lightning payment state machine:**
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/lnd/wallet.rs:payinvoice()`
+- Why fragile: Slow multi-hop payments (>15s) previously surfaced as "failed" while settling in background; client-side 15s timeout was aborting the wait. Fixed by commit `614a0f5a` (120s wait, pending status, lnd.paymentstatus poll). Must verify on Framework PT with real multi-hop.
+- Safe modification: Any lnd state changes must test full payment lifecycle: invoice creation, encoding, send, multi-hop wait, settlement confirmation. Verify on Framework PT before release.
+- Test coverage: Local LND payinvoice smoke test; no multinode lightning routing test in gate.
+
+## Scaling Limits
+
+**Uninstall progress bar truthfulness:**
+- Current capacity: Uninstall now has timeouts (fixed 2026-07-26) but progress-bar still reports fake stages (full-red full-opacity).
+- Limit: Long uninstalls (>30s) show no real progress; bar claims "uninstalling" for the full duration.
+- Scaling path: Backend must emit real progress events (% complete, stage name); UI must poll + display truthfully; integrate into all 5 gate iterations (not just 1 throw-away app).
+
+**Federation node list deduplication on disk bloat:**
+- Current capacity: `federation/storage.rs:dedup_nodes_by_onion()` reads entire nodes.json into memory each time a node is added/synced. At N federated peers, O(N) memory + O(N²) comparisons per operation.
+- Limit: No hard limit measured; scales fine up to hundreds of peers. Beyond 1000+ peers, memory/time may become visible.
+- Scaling path: Switch to a disk-backed database (e.g., rocksdb) for federation state if peer count grows; or implement incremental dedup on disk writes (preserve dedup state, only recompute on load).
+
+**Lifecycle gate iteration count:**
+- Current capacity: `ARCHY_ITERATIONS=5` runs 5 full cycles (stop/start/restart/survive per app). Entire run takes ~8–12 hours on .228.
+- Limit: Cannot easily scale to 10+ iterations without timeout risks; per-app timeout tuning is manual.
+- Scaling path: Add per-app timeout tuning (manifest field); parallelize per-app tests where safe (currently serial to avoid contention).
+
+## Dependencies at Risk
+
+**Reticulum transport daemon process group:**
+- Risk: Pre-fix (before `be50c886`), process group wasn't cleaned up on drop. Fork-bombs or dangling processes possible under error conditions.
+- Impact: Stale reticulum processes accumulating over time; resource leaks on node.
+- Migration plan: Code fix already deployed (commit `7a7fec21`); no active risk. Monitor fleet for stale python processes post-deployment.
+
+**Podman socket mount security model:**
+- Risk: Apps mounting `/run/podman/podman.sock` get full container-management access. Not restricted by the security policy (AppArmor profiles not applied).
+- Files: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs:135-137` (detection), manifests for apps with podman mounts (e.g., portainer)
+- Impact: A compromised app with podman socket access can start/stop/delete any container on the node.
+- Recommendation: Restrict podman socket mounts to admin-only apps (portainer, docker-api tools); document risk; consider socket filtering layer (selinux context, etc.) once AppArmor is wired.
+
+**Bitcoin version multi-version branch not fleet-wide:**
+- Risk: Branch `bitcoin-version-bulletproof` (base `095a76cd`) carries multi-version support but hasn't been deployed fleet-wide yet. .228 carries it; others still run single version.
+- Impact: Users on single-version nodes can't switch versions; version mismatch across fleet breaks federation.
+- Migration plan: Coordinated OTA + catalog publish + `:latest` repoint sequencing per `docs/bitcoin-version-bulletproof-rollout.md`. Awaiting user decision on timing.
+
+## Missing Critical Features
+
+**Developer tooling CLI suite:**
+- Problem: Third-party developers need `archy app validate/render/local-install/lifecycle-test` tooling before external registry launches.
+- Blocks: External marketplace (workstream C); external developer onboarding.
+- Status: Not yet built; documented in APP-PACKAGING-MIGRATION-PLAN.md step 5.
+
+**Manifest-distributed registry flip:**
+- Problem: Manifests still travel via OTA disk rsync. The signed catalog currently distributes only image overrides, not full manifests. Workstream B phases 1+2 done; not yet fleet-deployed.
+- Blocks: Cannot confidently add/bump apps without re-signing the catalog.
+- Status: Code ready; flip awaits authorization + timing call from user.
+
+**Phase-3 Quadlet default-flip:**
+- Problem: Orchestrator still uses legacy cgroup-based container management; Phase-3 `use_quadlet_backends` switch exists but is opt-in only.
+- Blocks: Resolves container thrashing; unlocks independent app restarts; unblocks lifecycle perfection (workstream F).
+- Status: Code validated on .228/.198 (commit pending); ready to flip when multinode gate passes.
+
+## Test Coverage Gaps
+
+**~30 apps with zero app-specific assertions:**
+- What's not tested: Apps like grafana, jellyfin, vaultwarden, penpot, nextcloud, photoprism, uptime-kuma, homeassistant, etc. have no app-specific health checks beyond "container running."
+- Files: `tests/lifecycle/bats/all-apps-matrix.bats`, `tests/lifecycle/bats/all-apps-lifecycle.bats` (generic baseline coverage)
+- Risk: App-specific bugs (API down, data corruption, dependency failure) go unnoticed until user encounters them.
+- Priority: Medium — baseline coverage is a real safety net; app-specific assertions are a "nice to harden" backlog item, not a gate blocker.
+- Approach: Add per-app health RPC endpoints or HTTP probes; wire into the gate as opt-in per-app test suites.
+
+**Progress UI assertions incomplete:**
+- What's not tested: Install + uninstall must report monotonic, truthful progress. No stage/percentage assertions in the gate.
+- Files: `neode-ui/src/components/AppCard.vue`, `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package/install.rs` (backend progress events)
+- Risk: Silent hangs or fake progress bars are invisible to the gate.
+- Priority: High — immich/grafana uninstall was stuck full-red (fixed); progress truthfulness is part of definition of done for workstream F.
+- Approach: Backend must emit real progress events; UI must display & test them; integrate into canonical gate (currently opt-in).
+
+**All-apps matrix in cascade gate:**
+- What's not tested: `ARCHY_GATE_CASCADE=1` runs ONE throwaway app's uninstall/reinstall. Must extend to multi-container stacks (immich, btcpay, mempool) and all ~40 installed apps.
+- Files: `tests/lifecycle/bats/cascade-uninstall.bats` (single-app variant)
+- Risk: Multi-container app uninstall bugs (e.g., orphan postgres container) go undetected.
+- Priority: High — part of workstream F definition of done.
+- Approach: Parametrize cascade test over all manifest IDs; run 5 cascades total (not 5 per app to save time); gate-pass requires zero ghost containers post-uninstall.

+# Coding Conventions
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2026-07-29
+
+## Naming Patterns
+
+**Files:**
+- TypeScript/Vue: PascalCase for components (e.g., `ToggleSwitch.vue`, `SendBitcoinModal.vue`), camelCase for composables and stores (e.g., `useFileType.ts`, `controller.ts`)
+- Rust: snake_case for modules and files (e.g., `bitcoin_rpc.rs`, `storage_crypto.rs`)
+- Test files: co-located with source in `__tests__/` subdirectories with `.test.ts` or `.spec.ts` suffix for Vitest, `.bats` for shell tests
+- Constants in TypeScript use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE within modules (e.g., `IMAGE_EXTS`, `CATEGORY_COLORS` in `useFileType.ts`)
+
+**Functions:**
+- TypeScript/Vue: camelCase for all functions (e.g., `getFileCategory`, `formatSize`, `useFileType`)
+- Composables: `use` prefix for Vue composables (e.g., `useFileType`, `useToast`, `useMessageToast`) — exported as named exports or default exports
+- Store functions (Pinia): defined with snake_case action names, exported from `defineStore` factory
+- Rust: snake_case for all functions and methods (e.g., `doesnt_reallocate`, following Rust conventions)
+
+**Variables:**
+- TypeScript: camelCase for local variables and reactive refs (e.g., `modelValue`, `isActive`, `gamepadCount`)
+- Refs (Vue 3): prefix not required, but convention is lowercase start (e.g., `const ext = ref('jpg')`)
+- Computed properties: camelCase, explicit `.value` suffix in templates when needed
+- Parameters: camelCase, typed explicitly in TypeScript (e.g., `password: string`, `isDir: Ref<boolean>`)
+
+**Types:**
+- TypeScript: PascalCase for type aliases and interfaces (e.g., `RPCOptions`, `FileCategory`, `CatalogVersionInfo`)
+- Union types: PascalCase (e.g., `PendingState = 'pending' | 'sent' | 'approved'`)
+- Component props: typed with `defineProps<{ ... }>()` syntax in `<script setup>`
+- Rust: PascalCase for structs and enums, snake_case for fields within them
+
+## Code Style
+
+**Formatting:**
+- No global Prettier config; code style follows project patterns incrementally
+- Vue components: single-file components (`.vue`) with `<template>`, `<script setup>`, optional `<style scoped>`
+- TypeScript: indentation is 2 spaces (visible in `vitest.config.ts`, Vue components, test files)
+- Line width: no strict enforcement observed; pragmatic wrapping around 80–100 characters
+- Arrow functions preferred for short callbacks: `(x) => x * 2`
+- Template strings for multi-line formatting
+
+**Linting:**
+- No `.eslintrc` detected at repo root or `neode-ui/` level
+- Rust: Clippy allowances declared at crate level in `main.rs` (`#![allow(...)]`) to suppress stylistic lints and focus CI on correctness issues
+- Examples of suppressed Clippy lints: `too_many_arguments`, `type_complexity`, `enum_variant_names`, `unused_io_amount`
+
+## Import Organization
+
+**Order:**
+1. Vue framework imports (`import { computed, ref, type Ref } from 'vue'`)
+2. Library imports (`import { defineStore } from 'pinia'`, `import { format } from 'date-fns'`)
+3. Local module imports (`import { useFileType } from '../useFileType'`, `import { rpcClient } from '../api/rpc-client'`)
+4. Types/interfaces (inline in import statements via `type` keyword when needed)
+5. No blank lines required between groups in practice
+
+**Path Aliases:**
+- TypeScript: `@` alias maps to `src/` (configured in `vitest.config.ts` and `tsconfig.json`)
+- Usage: `import { displayVersion } from '@/utils/version'`
+- Rust: crate-relative paths (`use crate::module::submodule`) and external crate paths
+
+## Error Handling
+
+**Patterns:**
+- TypeScript: explicit try-catch with error type narrowing (e.g., `if (error instanceof Error) { ... }`)
+- RPC client (`rpc-client.ts`): catches fetch errors, AbortError, and HTTP errors; distinguishes retryable (502, 503) from permanent (401, 403)
+- Rust: `anyhow::Result<T>` for fallible operations; `?` operator for error propagation; `.context("message")` for adding context
+- Backend error responses: JSON-RPC format with `error: { code, message, data? }` structure; UI catches and displays via toast system
+- Network errors: automatic retry with exponential backoff (600ms × (attempt + 1) with jitter); configurable `maxRetries` per call
+
+## Logging
+
+**Framework:** console object for frontend, `tracing` crate for Rust backend
+
+**Patterns:**
+- Frontend: `console.warn`, `console.error` used selectively (e.g., `[RPC]` prefixed logs in `rpc-client.ts` for session/CSRF events)
+- Rust: `tracing::info!`, `tracing::warn!` for structured logging; `println!` avoided in production code
+- No log levels enforced or documented; pragmatic use based on severity
+
+## Comments
+
+**When to Comment:**
+- Explain non-obvious retry logic, timeout decisions, CSRF handling (see `rpc-client.ts` lines 138–178 for example)
+- Clarify why a workaround exists (e.g., "Already on the login page: redirecting = a full reload")
+- Document integration points with backend RPC methods and their expected response shapes
+- Avoid redundant comments restating what the code obviously does
+
+**JSDoc/TSDoc:**
+- Function parameter types documented inline via TypeScript type annotations (e.g., `ext: Ref<string>`)
+- Minimal use of explicit JSDoc blocks; type signature is the primary documentation
+- Comments above exports explain purpose in one sentence (e.g., "// RPC Client for connecting to Archipelago backend")
+- Optional fields in interfaces documented via property-level comments (e.g., `/** Abort the call from the outside … */`)
+
+## Function Design
+
+**Size:** Functions are typically 5–50 lines; error-handling paths in `callInner<T>` (`rpc-client.ts`) stretch to 120 lines but remain single-responsibility (retry logic + error classification)
+
+**Parameters:**
+- Prefer object parameters for 3+ arguments (e.g., `RPCOptions` object over separate `method, params, timeout`)
+- Vue composables accept `Ref<T>` types to maintain reactivity (e.g., `useFileType(ext: Ref<string>, isDir: Ref<boolean>)`)
+- Store action functions accept only necessary parameters; broader state via closure
+
+**Return Values:**
+- Composables return object with properties (computed values + reactive refs): `{ category, isImage, isAudio, ... }`
+- Store actions return `void` or the modified state
+- Utilities return simple values or objects (e.g., `formatSize` returns string, `formatDate` returns string)
+- Async functions return `Promise<T>` with explicit type parameters (e.g., `async call<T>(options): Promise<T>`)
+
+## Module Design
+
+**Exports:**
+- Composables export a single named function and helper functions: `export function useFileType(...)`, `export function getFileCategory(...)`
+- Stores export the Pinia store factory: `export const useControllerStore = defineStore(...)`
+- RPC client exports as singleton instance: `export const rpcClient = new RPCClient()`
+- Utilities export multiple helpers from the same file (e.g., `formatSize`, `formatDate` from same module)
+
+**Barrel Files:**
+- Not observed as a primary pattern; each file self-documents its exports
+- Imports use direct paths (e.g., `from '../composables/useFileType'`) rather than barrel `index.ts`
+- Test files import specific utilities directly to minimize test setup complexity
+
+## Type Safety
+
+**Vue 3 with TypeScript:**
+- Components use `<script setup lang="ts">` with `defineProps<{ ... }>()` and `defineEmits<{ ... }>()`
+- Props explicitly typed as interfaces/objects with required/optional fields marked
+- Events typed as call signatures (e.g., `'update:modelValue': [value: boolean]`)
+- Reactive variables typed at declaration: `const isActive = ref<boolean>(false)`, or via inference when obvious
+
+**Rust:**
+- Explicit type annotations on public APIs; inference acceptable inside functions
+- Generic parameters used to encode interface contracts (e.g., `struct DataUrl<'a>`)
+- Pattern matching to handle enums and `Option<T>` / `Result<T, E>` types safely
+
+## Component Architecture (Vue)
+
+**File structure:**
+- Single-file components with template → script → (optional) style
+- Props come first, emits second, internal state/computed/methods follow
+- One component per file (naming matches the file name)
+- Slots used minimally; prefer explicit prop configuration over slot forwarding
+
+**Reactivity:**
+- `ref()` for primitive/object state; `computed()` for derived values
+- `watch()` used for side effects on ref changes (not extensively shown in samples but implied)
+- Pinia stores used for global state (authentication, app list, mesh status, etc.)
+
+## Constants and Enums
+
+**Pattern:** Constants are module-level `const` with UPPER_SNAKE_CASE names and immutable type annotations:
+
+```typescript
+const IMAGE_EXTS = new Set(['jpg', 'jpeg', ...])
+const CATEGORY_COLORS: Record<FileCategory, string> = { ... }
+```
+
+**Enums:** Type aliases preferred over TypeScript `enum` keyword (e.g., `type FileCategory = 'folder' | 'image' | ...`)

+## Key File Locations
+
+**Entry Points:**
+- Backend daemon: `core/archipelago/src/main.rs` (spawns HTTP server, tasks, orchestrator)
+- Frontend app: `neode-ui/src/main.ts` (Vue app, router, WebSocket init)
+- App manifest: `apps/*/manifest.yml` (Archipelago-specific; controls container, secrets, UI)
+- Production gate: `tests/lifecycle/run-gate.sh` (exit criterion for releases)
+
+**Configuration:**
+- Backend config: `core/archipelago/src/config.rs` (data dir, bind port, dev mode flag)
+- Frontend config: `neode-ui/vite.config.ts` (build settings, env vars)
+- App registries: `/var/lib/archipelago/registries.json` (user-configured Gitea mirrors)
+- Secrets location: `/var/lib/archipelago/secrets/` (encrypted ChaCha20 files)
+
+**Core Logic:**
+- Container orchestration: `core/archipelago/src/container/prod_orchestrator.rs` (300KB+ main logic)
+- RPC dispatch: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mod.rs` (method routing, ~200 RPCs)

+- Path aliases (neode-ui): `@/` = `src/`, `@components/` = `src/components/`
+
+## Where to Add New Code
+
+**New RPC Method (Backend):**
+1. Determine domain (auth, container, bitcoin, mesh, wallet, etc.)
+2. Add async fn to `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/[domain].rs`
+3. Function signature: `pub async fn [action](handler: &RpcHandler, params: [ParamType]) -> Result<[ResponseType]>`
+4. Register in `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mod.rs` dispatcher (line ~350+, search for `match method_name`)
+5. Test: Unit test in same file with `#[tokio::test]`, or E2E in `tests/`
+
+**New Frontend View (Page):**
+1. Create `neode-ui/src/views/[ViewName].vue` (PascalCase)
+2. Import Router in `neode-ui/src/router/index.ts`, add route
+3. Add navigation link in `neode-ui/src/components/Nav.vue` (if public-facing)
+4. State: Use or create Pinia store in `neode-ui/src/stores/`
+5. Test: Add E2E test in `neode-ui/e2e/` if user-facing flow
+
+**New Container App:**
+1. Create directory `apps/[app-name]/`
+2. Write `manifest.yml` (copy structure from existing app; define interfaces.main.ui, health check, secrets)
+3. Write `Dockerfile` (base image, deps, entrypoint)
+4. Add to `app-catalog/catalog.json` with entry (id, version, url to manifest)
+5. Test: `archipelago container.install { manifest_url: "..." }` on dev node
+
+**New Component (Frontend):**
+1. Create `neode-ui/src/components/[ComponentName].vue`
+2. If reusable logic, extract to `neode-ui/src/composables/use[Logic].ts`
+3. If shared state, use Pinia store (don't create component-local state)
+4. Example: `components/AppCard.vue` displays one app (reused in Apps.vue listing)
+
+**New Utility Function:**
+- Backend service logic: Add to `core/archipelago/src/[domain].rs` or new file if it's cross-cutting
+- Frontend helper: Add to `neode-ui/src/utils/` (e.g., `format.ts`, `validate.ts`)
+- Example: Lightning address validation → `neode-ui/src/utils/validate.ts:validateLightningAddress()`
+
+**New Test:**
+- Rust unit test: Inline in source file (`#[test]` or `#[tokio::test]`)
+- Frontend unit test: `neode-ui/src/composables/__tests__/use[Logic].test.ts`
+- E2E test: `neode-ui/e2e/[feature].spec.ts` (Playwright)
+- Integration test: `tests/[feature].sh` (shell script running node commands)

+# Testing Patterns
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2026-07-29
+
+## Test Framework
+
+**Frontend:**
+- Runner: Vitest 3.1.1
+- Config: `neode-ui/vitest.config.ts`
+- Environment: jsdom (DOM testing in Node.js)
+- Globals: enabled (`globals: true`) — `describe`, `it`, `expect` available without imports
+- Assertion library: built-in Vitest assertions (compatible with Jest)
+
+**Backend (Rust):**
+- Framework: built-in `#[test]` attribute and `cargo test`
+- Command: `cd core && cargo test --workspace --bins`
+
+**E2E (Browser):**
+- Framework: Playwright 1.58.2
+- Config: implicit (tests in `neode-ui/e2e/` directory)
+
+**Shell Integration Tests:**
+- Framework: Bats (Bash Automated Testing System)
+- Location: `tests/lifecycle/bats/`
+- Config files: `tests/lifecycle/lib/rpc.bash` (RPC wrapper helpers)
+
+**Run Commands:**
+```bash
+# Unit tests (Vitest)
+npm run test                 # Run all tests once
+npm run test:watch          # Watch mode, re-run on file changes
+
+# Rust tests
+cd core && cargo test --workspace --bins
+
+# Specific Vitest suite
+npm run test -- src/composables/__tests__/useFileType.test.ts
+
+# Shell lifecycle tests (from repo root)
+ARCHY_PASSWORD=password123 tests/lifecycle/run.sh              # Read-only tests
+ARCHY_PASSWORD=password123 ARCHY_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=1 tests/lifecycle/run.sh  # Include destructive
+
+# Release gate (5× iterations, must run ON the target node)
+ARCHY_PASSWORD=password123 ARCHY_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=1 ARCHY_ITERATIONS=5 \
+  tests/lifecycle/run-gate.sh
+```
+
+## Test File Organization
+
+**Location:**
+- Frontend: co-located with source in `__tests__/` subdirectories
+  - Example: `src/composables/useFileType.ts` → `src/composables/__tests__/useFileType.test.ts`
+  - Example: `src/api/rpc-client.ts` → `src/api/__tests__/rpc-client.test.ts`
+- E2E: separate `e2e/` directory at root of frontend
+- Shell: `tests/lifecycle/bats/` directory
+
+**Naming:**
+- Vitest: `*.test.ts` or `*.spec.ts` suffix (`.test.ts` preferred)
+- Playwright: `*.spec.ts` suffix
+- Bats: `*.bats` suffix
+- Rust unit: same file with `#[test]` functions at the bottom or in submodules
+
+**Structure:**
+```
+neode-ui/
+├── src/
+│   ├── composables/
+│   │   ├── useFileType.ts
+│   │   └── __tests__/
+│   │       ├── useFileType.test.ts
+│   │       ├── useNavSounds.test.ts
+│   │       └── ... (other composable tests)
+│   ├── api/
+│   │   ├── rpc-client.ts
+│   │   └── __tests__/
+│   │       └── rpc-client.test.ts
+│   └── stores/
+│       ├── controller.ts
+│       └── (no tests found for stores in exploration)
+├── e2e/
+│   ├── app-launch.spec.ts
+│   ├── intro-experience.spec.ts
+│   └── visual-regression.spec.ts
+```
+
+## Test Structure
+
+**Vitest Suite Organization:**
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest'
+import { ref } from 'vue'
+import { getFileCategory, useFileType, formatSize, formatDate } from '../useFileType'
+
+describe('getFileCategory', () => {
+  it('returns folder for directories', () => {
+    expect(getFileCategory('', true)).toBe('folder')
+    expect(getFileCategory('jpg', true)).toBe('folder')
+  })
+
+  it('identifies image extensions', () => {
+    expect(getFileCategory('jpg', false)).toBe('image')
+    expect(getFileCategory('png', false)).toBe('image')
+  })
+})
+
+describe('useFileType', () => {
+  it('returns correct category and computed values for an image', () => {
+    const ext = ref('jpg')
+    const isDir = ref(false)
+    const result = useFileType(ext, isDir)
+
+    expect(result.category.value).toBe('image')
+    expect(result.isImage.value).toBe(true)
+  })
+
+  it('reacts to ref changes', () => {
+    const ext = ref('jpg')
+    const isDir = ref(false)
+    const result = useFileType(ext, isDir)
+
+    expect(result.category.value).toBe('image')
+    ext.value = 'mp3'
+    expect(result.category.value).toBe('audio')
+  })
+})
+```
+
+**Patterns:**
+- `describe()` blocks group related tests by function or component
+- `it()` blocks test a single behavior (flat structure, no nesting of describe blocks observed)
+- `beforeEach()` / `afterEach()` hooks for setup/teardown per test
+- `beforeAll()` / `afterAll()` hooks for suite-level setup (e.g., login in bats tests)
+- Assertions use `expect(actual).toBe(expected)` or `expect(actual).toEqual(object)`
+
+**Playwright E2E Structure:**
+
+```typescript
+import { expect, test, type Page } from '@playwright/test'
+
+async function login(page: Page) {
+  await page.goto('/login', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' })
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    localStorage.setItem('neode_intro_seen', '1')
+  })
+  // ... fill form, submit
+  await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard**', { timeout: 20_000 })
+}
+
+test('installed app launch opens reachable app URL', async ({ page, context, baseURL }) => {
+  test.skip(!EXPECTED_URL, 'Set ARCHY_EXPECTED_LAUNCH_URL for launch qualification')
+
+  await login(page)
+  await page.goto('/dashboard/apps', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' })
+  
+  const appCard = page.locator('[data-controller-container]', {
+    has: page.getByRole('heading', { name: APP_CARD_TITLE, exact: true }),
+  }).first()
+  
+  await appCard.waitFor({ timeout: 30_000 })
+  await expect(appCard.locator('button')).toBeVisible()
+})
+```
+
+**Bats Shell Test Structure:**
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bats
+# tests/lifecycle/bats/bitcoin-knots.bats
+
+load '../lib/rpc.bash'
+
+setup_file() {
+  : "${ARCHY_PASSWORD:?Set ARCHY_PASSWORD env var to the UI password}"
+  export ARCHY_FORCE_LOGIN=1
+  rpc_login
+  unset ARCHY_FORCE_LOGIN
+}
+
+teardown_file() {
+  rpc_logout_local
+}
+
+@test "container-list includes bitcoin-knots" {
+  run rpc_result container-list
+  [ "$status" -eq 0 ]
+  echo "$output" | jq -e '.[] | select(.name == "bitcoin-knots")' >/dev/null
+}
+
+@test "container-status returns a valid status object" {
+  run rpc_call container-status '{"app_id":"bitcoin-knots"}'
+  [ "$status" -eq 0 ]
+}
+```
+
+## Mocking
+
+**Framework (Vitest):** `vi` from Vitest; global stub support
+
+**Patterns:**
+
+```typescript
+const mockFetch = vi.fn()
+vi.stubGlobal('fetch', mockFetch)
+
+// Import after stubbing
+const { rpcClient } = await import('../rpc-client')
+
+// In tests:
+mockFetch.mockResolvedValueOnce(jsonResponse({ result: { did: 'did:key:z123' } }))
+mockFetch.mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error('fetch failed'))
+
+// Assertions on mock calls:
+expect(mockFetch).toHaveBeenCalledOnce()
+const [url, init] = mockFetch.mock.calls[0]!
+expect(url).toBe('/rpc/v1')
+expect(init.method).toBe('POST')
+```
+
+**Vue Test Utils:**
+- Component mounting: `mount(Component, { global: { mocks: { $ver: displayVersion } } })`
+- Props tested by passing to mount options
+- Events tested by listening to emitted events
+
+**What to Mock:**
+- External HTTP requests (fetch, axios)
+- Timers (for timeout logic; `vi.useFakeTimers()`)
+- Global objects (localStorage, console, window.location)
+
+**What NOT to Mock:**
+- Vue reactivity (ref, computed) — these are core to component behavior
+- RPC client methods in component tests — prefer integration-style testing
+- Built-in assertions (expect) — always available
+- Pinia stores in unit tests of composables that use them — store directly if needed
+
+## Fixtures and Factories
+
+**Test Data:**
+
+```typescript
+function jsonResponse(body: unknown, status = 200, statusText = 'OK'): Response {
+  return {
+    ok: status >= 200 && status < 300,
+    status,
+    statusText,
+    json: () => Promise.resolve(body),
+    // ... other Response properties
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage:
+mockFetch.mockResolvedValueOnce(jsonResponse({ result: { did: 'did:key:z123' } }))
+mockFetch.mockResolvedValueOnce(jsonResponse(null, 502, 'Bad Gateway'))
+```
+
+**Location:**
+- Fixtures (test data, helper functions) defined inline in test files or in small helper modules
+- No central fixture factory observed; each test file is self-contained
+- Shell test helpers in `tests/lifecycle/lib/rpc.bash` (RPC wrapper for bats)
+
+## Coverage
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Frontend: 80% branch coverage (set in `vitest.config.ts` thresholds)
+- Rust: no explicit threshold; pragmatic testing of public APIs
+- Shell: coverage tracked per app in `tests/lifecycle/TESTING.md` (lifecycle matrix)
+
+**View Coverage:**
+
+```bash
+# Generate coverage report
+npm run test -- --coverage
+
+# Output formats: text, text-summary, html
+# Config in vitest.config.ts: reporter: ['text', 'text-summary']
+```
+
+**Coverage Scope (Frontend):**
+- Included: `src/api/*.ts`, `src/stores/*.ts`, `src/composables/*.ts`, `src/utils/*.ts`, `src/services/*.ts`, `src/router/*.ts`
+- Excluded: test files (`src/**/__tests__/**`), type definitions (`*.d.ts`), entry point (`src/main.ts`)
+
+## Test Types
+
+**Unit Tests (Vitest):**
+- Scope: individual functions, composables, utility modules
+- Approach: fast, isolated, mock external dependencies
+- Example: `useFileType.test.ts` tests `getFileCategory`, `useFileType`, `formatSize`, `formatDate` independently
+- Latency: ~5s for full suite; individual tests <1s
+
+**Integration Tests (Vitest + RPCClient):**
+- Scope: RPC client with mocked fetch, authentication flows, retry logic
+- Approach: more complex setup, test interactions between layers
+- Example: `rpc-client.test.ts` tests 70+ scenarios (login, TOTP, federation, package operations)
+- Latency: ~30s for full suite
+
+**E2E Tests (Playwright):**
+- Scope: real browser, real app instance, user journeys (login → navigate → interact)
+- Approach: full app stack running; no mocks of UI layer
+- Example: `app-launch.spec.ts` tests app card discovery and launch via button click
+- Latency: 30–120s per test depending on app startup time
+
+**Lifecycle Tests (Bats):**
+- Scope: container operations (install, start, stop, restart, uninstall) on a live node
+- Approach: RPC calls to backend, shell commands for verification, destructive operations tier-gated
+- Tiers:
+  - L0 unit: Rust unit tests (cargo test)
+  - L1 RPC: JSON-RPC API responses (bats + rpc.bash)
+  - L2 UI: HTTP probe of app URLs (bats + ui-probes.bash)
+  - L3 lifecycle survival: container restart/reboot survival (bats, gated)
+- Latency: 30–120s per suite depending on tier and container startup
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+**Async Testing (Vitest):**
+
+```typescript
+it('makes a successful RPC call and returns the result', async () => {
+  mockFetch.mockResolvedValueOnce(jsonResponse({ result: { did: 'did:key:z123' } }))
+
+  const result = await rpcClient.call<{ did: string }>({
+    method: 'node.did',
+    params: {},
+  })
+
+  expect(result).toEqual({ did: 'did:key:z123' })
+  expect(mockFetch).toHaveBeenCalledOnce()
+})
+```
+
+- `async` keyword on test function
+- `await` for async operations
+- No explicit promise handling; expect called after `await` completes
+- Timeouts set via test config or `{ timeout: N }` in individual tests
+
+**Error Testing (Vitest):**
+
+```typescript
+it('throws after max retries on persistent 502', async () => {
+  mockFetch.mockResolvedValue(jsonResponse(null, 502, 'Bad Gateway'))
+
+  await expect(rpcClient.call({ method: 'test' })).rejects.toThrow('HTTP 502: Bad Gateway')
+  expect(mockFetch).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(3)
+})
+
+it('throws immediately on non-retryable HTTP errors', async () => {
+  mockFetch.mockResolvedValueOnce(jsonResponse(null, 401, 'Unauthorized'))
+
+  await expect(rpcClient.call({ method: 'test' })).rejects.toThrow('Session expired')
+  expect(mockFetch).toHaveBeenCalledOnce()
+})
+```
+
+- `expect(...).rejects.toThrow(message)` for expected rejections
+- Mock returns set per-call (`mockResolvedValueOnce`, `mockResolvedValue`)
+- Retry logic verified via call count assertions (`toHaveBeenCalledTimes`)
+
+**Timer Mocking (Vitest):**
+
+```typescript
+beforeEach(() => {
+  vi.useFakeTimers({ shouldAdvanceTime: true })
+})
+
+afterEach(() => {
+  vi.useRealTimers()
+})
+
+it('retries on 502 Bad Gateway and eventually succeeds', async () => {
+  mockFetch
+    .mockResolvedValueOnce(jsonResponse(null, 502, 'Bad Gateway'))
+    .mockResolvedValueOnce(jsonResponse({ result: 'ok' }))
+
+  const result = await rpcClient.call({ method: 'test' })
+
+  expect(result).toBe('ok')
+  expect(mockFetch).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(2)
+})
+```
+
+- Fake timers enable testing of timeout/retry delays without blocking real time
+- `shouldAdvanceTime: true` auto-advances clock for non-blocking tests
+- Clean up with `vi.useRealTimers()` after each test
+
+**Vue Component Testing (Vue Test Utils):**
+
+```typescript
+it('returns correct values for audio', () => {
+  const ext = ref('mp3')
+  const isDir = ref(false)
+  const result = useFileType(ext, isDir)
+
+  expect(result.category.value).toBe('audio')
+  expect(result.isAudio.value).toBe(true)
+  expect(result.isImage.value).toBe(false)
+  expect(result.iconColor.value).toBe('text-orange-400')
+})
+```
+
+- Refs created with `ref()` passed as test inputs
+- Computed values accessed via `.value`
+- No mount overhead for pure composable logic
+
+**Playwright Browser Testing:**
+
+```typescript
+test('installed app launch opens reachable app URL', async ({ page, context, baseURL }) => {
+  await login(page)
+  await page.goto('/dashboard/apps', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' })
+
+  const appCard = page.locator('[data-controller-container]', {
+    has: page.getByRole('heading', { name: APP_CARD_TITLE, exact: true }),
+  }).first()
+
+  await appCard.waitFor({ timeout: 30_000 })
+  await expect(appCard.locator('button')).toBeVisible()
+})
+```
+
+- Locators used to find elements (CSS selector, role, text)
+- Wait timeouts on slow networks (30s for app startup)
+- `waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded'` or `'networkidle'` for page load
+- Screenshots and video recording available via config
+
+## Test Configuration Details
+
+**Vitest Config (`vitest.config.ts`):**
+- Environment: jsdom
+- Globals: enabled (no imports needed)
+- Setup file: `vitest.setup.ts` (mocks global Vue config like `$ver`)
+- Coverage provider: v8
+- Coverage threshold: 80% branches
+- Excluded from coverage: tests, types, main.ts
+
+**Playwright Config (implicit, environment variables used):**
+- Base URL: derived from `VITE_*` env vars in dev
+- Timeouts: per-test overrides via `{ timeout: N }`
+- Retry: 0 (no automatic retries; explicit in tests via polling)
+- Config environment variables: `ARCHY_PASSWORD`, `ARCHY_APP_ID`, `ARCHY_EXPECTED_LAUNCH_URL`
+
+**Shell Test Config (environment variables):**
+- `ARCHY_PASSWORD`: login password (required)
+- `ARCHY_ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE`: enable stop/start/restart/uninstall tests
+- `ARCHY_ALLOW_CASCADE_DESTRUCTIVE`: enable uninstall/reinstall on throwaway app
+- `ARCHY_ITERATIONS`: loop count for release gate (5× for production readiness)
+- `ARCHY_FORCE_LOGIN`: fresh RPC token per test file

+# Constraints (from SPECs)
+
+Extracted from 1 classified SPEC: `docs/app-manifest-spec.md` (accurate as of 2026-07-08). The SPEC self-declares that the canonical schema is the Rust parser in `core/container/src/manifest.rs` — if doc and code disagree, the code wins.
+
+## App manifest top-level schema (`app:` block)
+- source: docs/app-manifest-spec.md
+- type: schema
+- content: Every app is a directory `apps/<id>/` with a `manifest.yml` containing a single top-level `app:` block. Apps are purely declarative — the orchestrator owns the entire lifecycle; no per-app installer code. Required fields: `id` (lowercase alphanumeric + `-`/`_`, must match directory name), `name`, `version`. Optional fields: `description`, `container` (ContainerConfig), `dependencies` (storage/app_id+version/bare string), `resources` (cpu_limit, memory_limit, disk_limit), `security` (SecurityPolicy), `ports` (host/container/protocol), `volumes`, `files` (GeneratedFile: path/content/overwrite; path must sit under a declared bind mount), `environment` (static KEY=value), `health_check` (type/endpoint/path/interval/timeout/retries; `http` is what the monitor exercises), `devices` (must start with `/dev/`), `interfaces` (launch surfaces keyed by name), `hooks` (LifecycleHooks). Unknown keys are absorbed into an `extensions` map (serde flatten) as transitional metadata — not typed schema, not validated.
+
+## ContainerConfig schema
+- source: docs/app-manifest-spec.md
+- type: schema
+- content: Exactly one of `image` or `build` must be present (image XOR build). Fields: `image` (registry reference), `image_signature` (optional), `pull_policy` (default `if-not-present`), `build` ({context, dockerfile default "Dockerfile", tag, build_args}), `network` (literal podman `--network` value; omitted = rootless default isolated network), `network_aliases` (extra DNS names on the network), `entrypoint`, `custom_args`, `derived_env` ({key, template} rendered against host facts at apply time; allowed placeholders only: {{HOST_IP}}, {{HOST_MDNS}}, {{DISK_GB}} plus dependency-resolved facts — never hard-code host specifics), `secret_env` ({key, secret_file} read from /var/lib/archipelago/secrets/<secret_file>, injected as a podman secret so it never appears in `podman inspect` or unit files; secret_file must be a bare filename, no `/` or `..`), `generated_secrets` ({name, kind} materialised by the orchestrator on first use, 0600, rootless service user, idempotent + self-healing; kind ∈ hex16|hex32|base64|bcrypt; bcrypt writes <name>=hash and <name>.pw=plaintext), `generated_certs` ({crt, key, common_name?, sans?} self-signed TLS materialised before create), `data_uid` ("UID:GID" applied to the app's bind-mounted data dir before create).
+
+## SecurityPolicy schema and validation rules
+- source: docs/app-manifest-spec.md
+- type: schema
+- content: Security block defaults: `readonly_root: true`, `no_new_privileges: true`, `capabilities: []` (cap-drop ALL, add back only listed), `network_policy: isolated` (isolated | bridge | host), `apparmor_profile: null` (optional). Validation enforced at `AppManifest::validate()`: capabilities must come from the reviewed allow-list (CHOWN, DAC_OVERRIDE, FOWNER, NET_ADMIN, NET_BIND_SERVICE, NET_RAW, SETGID, SETUID, SYS_ADMIN); `network_policy` must be exactly isolated/bridge/host; no `container:`/`ns:` network modes; devices must be `/dev/*`; bind-mount sources confined to `/var/lib/archipelago` (reviewed exceptions: rootless podman socket and dbus); `derived_env` templates limited to the placeholder allow-list; `secret_env`/`generated_secrets` names must be bare filenames; hook steps validated against the hook allow-list. (Note: the SPEC's documented validation list does not mention ADR-009's non-root UID, pinned-image-tag, or seccomp mandates — see INGEST-CONFLICTS.md INFO entry.)
+
+## Volumes schema
+- source: docs/app-manifest-spec.md
+- type: schema
+- content: Volume entries: `type` ∈ bind | volume | tmpfs; bind entries take `source` (confined to /var/lib/archipelago per validation), `target`, `options` from an allow-list (rw, ro, z, Z, shared, …); tmpfs entries take `target` and `tmpfs_options` (e.g. "rw,noexec,nosuid,size=256m").
+
+## Lifecycle hooks contract
+- source: docs/app-manifest-spec.md
+- type: api-contract
+- content: Hooks are declarative, allow-listed operations that run against the app's own container — never the host (design: manifest-hooks-design.md). `post_install` runs once after install with the container running; supported steps: `copy_from_host` (src relative to an allow-listed root — data dir / web-ui; no absolute paths, no '..') and `exec` (podman exec inside the container). `pre_start` is reserved in the schema; its executor is not yet wired.
+
+## Installation semantics (Quadlet + reconciler)
+- source: docs/app-manifest-spec.md
+- type: protocol
+- content: The orchestrator compiles the manifest into a rootless Podman Quadlet unit under `user.slice` — the container survives backend restarts and reboots. A level-triggered reconciler converges drift every 30 seconds. Multi-container apps are sets of per-member manifests installed together via the stack orchestrator (`api/rpc/package/stacks.rs`) on an app-local network.
+
+## Manifest distribution channels
+- source: docs/app-manifest-spec.md
+- type: protocol
+- content: Manifests ship two ways. (1) Signed catalog (primary): `releases/app-catalog.json` embeds the full manifest per app with an Ed25519 detached signature verified against the pinned release-root anchor; nodes overlay catalog manifests over disk files — catalog wins for image-only apps; `apps/<id>/manifest.yml` on disk remains the fallback and is still required for build-source apps. (2) Decentralized marketplace: Nostr NIP-78 discovery with DID-signed manifests (marketplace-protocol.md); the marketplace uses its own flatter manifest schema, not this one. Tooling: validate with `scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh`, regenerate catalog with `scripts/generate-app-catalog.py`, drift-checked in CI by `scripts/check-app-catalog-drift.py`.

+# Decisions (from ADRs)
+
+Extracted from 10 classified ADRs. All are `locked: true` (Status: Accepted) and cannot be auto-overridden by any lower-precedence source.
+
+## ADR-001: Podman Over Docker
+- source: docs/adr/001-podman-over-docker.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Use Podman as the container runtime instead of Docker. Rootless by default, daemonless, Docker-compatible, native systemd integration, OCI-compliant. Use `archy-net` custom network for inter-container DNS.
+- scope: container runtime, rootless containers, systemd integration, archy-net network
+
+## ADR-002: DID Key Method for Node Identity
+- source: docs/adr/002-did-key-method.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Use `did:key` (Ed25519) as the primary DID method for node identity. Self-contained, offline-capable, local resolution. Known gaps (no rotation, no service endpoints, no revocation) mitigated via federation trust lists and separately-stored service endpoints; future migration to did:peer/did:web possible if rotation is needed.
+- scope: node identity, DID methods, Ed25519 keys, peer authentication, federation trust lists, verifiable credentials
+
+## ADR-003: Nostr Relays for Node and App Discovery
+- source: docs/adr/003-nostr-for-discovery.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Use Nostr relays (NIP-78, kind 30078) for both node discovery and marketplace app manifests. Query multiple relays in parallel with dedupe; local cache with 15-minute TTL; trust scoring (DID verification, relay consensus, federation trust); hashtag filtering (`archipelago-marketplace`); NIP-33 replaceable events for updates; Tor-compatible via SOCKS proxy.
+- scope: node discovery, app discovery, marketplace app manifests, NIP-78, NIP-33 replaceable events, trust scoring, relay caching
+
+## ADR-004: Tor Hidden Services for Peer Communication
+- source: docs/adr/004-tor-for-peer-communication.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Use Tor hidden services (.onion addresses) for all inter-node communication. Scoped to RPC/control plane only — bulk data (container images) pulled from registries. Retry with backoff; `archy-tor` container runs automatically with host networking; federation sync interval (5 min) tolerates occasional failures.
+- scope: inter-node communication, federation sync, archy-tor container, RPC/control plane, NAT traversal
+
+## ADR-005: ChaCha20-Poly1305 for Backup Encryption
+- source: docs/adr/005-chacha20-backup-encryption.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Use ChaCha20-Poly1305 (AEAD) with Argon2id key derivation for backup encryption at rest, chosen over AES-256-GCM and XChaCha20-Poly1305. Random nonce per backup stored alongside ciphertext; Argon2id with 64MB memory cost and 3 iterations for password-to-key derivation.
+- scope: backup encryption, AEAD, Argon2id key derivation, nonce handling
+
+## ADR-006: Nostr Relays for Marketplace Discovery
+- source: docs/adr/006-nostr-marketplace-discovery.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Use Nostr relays (NIP-78, kind 30078 events) for decentralized app manifest discovery instead of a centralized marketplace server. Developers publish signed manifests to public relays; nodes query multiple relays; trust scoring via cross-relay verification count, DID-linked developer reputation, optional community endorsements. Trust tiers: Verified (known developer, 3+ relays, DID-verified), Community (2+ relays, valid manifest, unsigned/new developer), Unverified (single relay, new developer). Local relay-response caching; built-in curated list for essential apps; manifest signature verification before installation.
+- scope: marketplace, app manifest discovery, trust scoring, trust tiers, manifest signature verification
+
+## ADR-007: DID-Based Federation Trust
+- source: docs/adr/007-did-federation-trust.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Use bilateral DID-based verification with single-use invite codes for federation trust establishment. Invite code carries DID, .onion address, and shared secret; exchanged out-of-band; both nodes verify DIDs via signed challenges over Tor; ongoing communication is DID-authenticated over Tor hidden services. Trust levels: Trusted (full access), Observer (read-only), Untrusted (blocked). Discovery (ADR-003) finds nodes; federation trusts them.
+- scope: federation, DID verification, invite codes, trust levels, Tor hidden services, Ed25519 keys
+- cross-refs: ADR-003
+
+## ADR-008: Dual Key Strategy (Ed25519 + Secp256k1)
+- source: docs/adr/008-dual-key-strategy.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Maintain two key pairs per node identity, both derived from one master seed: Ed25519 as canonical identity (DID documents, verifiable credentials, federation auth, backup encryption via X25519 DH) and secp256k1 for Nostr/Bitcoin/Lightning (event publishing, node discovery, Lightning channel auth). Secp256k1 key linked to the DID via Nostr profile (NIP-05). Backup captures the master seed; DID document includes both verification methods.
+- scope: node identity, key derivation, master seed, Ed25519, secp256k1, DID documents, federation authentication, backup encryption, Nostr event publishing, node discovery, Lightning Network
+
+## ADR-009: Manifest-Level Container Security Enforcement
+- source: docs/adr/009-manifest-container-security.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Enforce mandatory container security defaults at the manifest level, applied automatically during container creation. Non-negotiable defaults: `readonly_root: true`, `no_new_privileges: true`, non-root user (UID > 1000), drop ALL capabilities (add back only required), pinned image tags (no `latest`), default seccomp profile. `core/container/` validates manifests (parse → validate → reject violations → apply security context at `podman create`). Optional overrides (`readonly_root: false`, extra capabilities like NET_ADMIN) require explicit listing and documented justification, with audit trail.
+- scope: container security, app manifests, manifest validation, podman container creation, security defaults, capability restrictions, seccomp
+- cross-refs: docs/app-manifest-spec.md, core/container/src/, core/security/src/
+
+## ADR-011: DWN Deprioritization
+- source: docs/adr/011-dwn-deprioritization.md
+- status: locked (Accepted)
+- decision: Deprioritize Web5 DWN spec compliance following TBD's November 2024 shutdown. Keep existing custom DWN store code (`core/archipelago/src/network/dwn_store.rs`) for peer file catalogs and federation state; stop calling it "Web5 DWN" in user-facing text; do not invest in DWN spec compliance; prioritize Nostr + Tor federation for peer discovery and data exchange; re-evaluate only if DIF produces a viable Rust SDK or the spec regains maintainers.

 # Changelog
 
-## v1.7.112-alpha (2026-07-22)
+## v1.7.118-alpha (2026-07-29)
 
+- Fixes mesh radios dropping off on nodes that took the v1.7.117 update. Updates only ever replaced the main program, never the packaged radio helpers — so updated nodes were left running an older radio daemon that didn't understand a new option and quietly gave up, showing "device not connected" with a Connect button that did nothing. The node now checks what its radio daemon supports before using new options, and updates finally carry the radio helpers themselves, so every node gets current radio support with the update instead of only from a fresh install.
+- The in-app "Flash LoRa" flow works on updated nodes. The RNode flashing tool was only ever included on freshly installed nodes; everywhere else flashing failed with a cryptic "No such file or directory". The tool now ships with updates and is included on new install images, and if it's somehow still missing the error says exactly what to do instead.
+- Message notification badges finally remember what you've read. Unread counts were only kept in memory, so every visit re-counted old messages as new — including a phantom badge for chats with nothing new in them. Read-state is now saved on the device, opening a chat marks all its linked conversations read, and history no longer re-badges after a reload.
+- Every mesh message now has a visible "⋯" button that opens the route view: watch the path your message took animate — sender and receiver appear, a pulse travels the link, and each relay hop lights up in order — with signal quality for radio links and delivery status. (Tapping the transport pill still works too.)
+
+## v1.7.117-alpha (2026-07-29)
+
+- Flash your LoRa radio from inside the app. The Mesh page now has a "Flash LoRa" button that opens a guided flow: pick the firmware family (MeshCore, Meshtastic, or Reticulum RNode) and your board, and the node downloads the latest release and flashes it with live progress — no external flasher website, no cables to a computer. The same flow appears when a freshly plugged-in radio is detected, and a long list of flashing pitfalls was fixed along the way: radios no longer boot-loop after a flash, failures show the real error instead of silently bouncing back, wedged flash jobs can't get stuck forever, and board auto-detection no longer misidentifies Heltec boards.
+- Every Archipelago node now acts as a Reticulum relay. Nodes forward mesh traffic and re-broadcast peer announcements, so two radios that can't hear each other directly can still discover and message each other through any Archipelago node in between — your nodes become infrastructure for the whole neighbourhood mesh, including non-Archipelago apps like Sideband.
+- Reticulum (RNode) radios are now first-class mesh citizens. Radios are reliably detected on node startup (a boot-timing race used to leave them unclaimed), settings changes apply live without a restart, your node's name propagates over the Reticulum network so other apps like Sideband see it properly, and a crashed Reticulum daemon is detected and restarted automatically. Photo and file attachments sent over Reticulum now actually arrive — four separate delivery bugs were found and fixed, verified end-to-end over real radio hardware.
+- Messages to contacts that exist on both the internet mesh and a LoRa radio now prefer the radio when it's live, and attachments follow the same path — so co-located nodes talk over the air even when the internet path exists.
+- Mesh chat polish: each message in the image viewer shows which transport carried it, a new hop-route view shows the path a message took, reactions moved into a tidy dropdown, and read-tracking now reflects what you've actually seen. The Refresh and Broadcast buttons give real feedback, and the radio-setup modal shows honest probe progress instead of freezing.
+- The wallet transactions list works properly on phones now: it scrolls (it silently couldn't on touch screens before), and the All / On-chain / Lightning / Ecash filter tabs stay pinned at the top with a subtle blur while the list scrolls underneath.
+- Backend services no longer masquerade as launchable apps. Anything without a real web interface — databases, APIs, background workers, including stacks you deploy by hand for testing — now files under Services with no Launch button. Apps declare their interface in their manifest; for everything else the node checks the port itself to see whether a browser page actually lives there.
+- Lightning payments that take a while (slow multi-hop routes) are no longer reported as failed while they're still in flight. The wallet now waits properly, shows an honest "pending" state, and reports the true final outcome.
+- Server pages feel instant: Server, Federation, Lightning channels, Monitoring, wallet, Cloud, and Credentials screens now render immediately from a shared cache and refresh live in the background (including push updates over the node's websocket), instead of blanking while every panel refetches.
+- The node stays responsive under heavy load: the connection handler now sheds excess load instead of stalling everything behind it, and companion-app probes no longer trigger container builds during routine checks.
+- FIPS mesh uptime hardening continues: the node's peer port is opened explicitly everywhere, LAN anchors use the right port, direct peering between co-located nodes works again, dials fail fast instead of hanging, and a connectivity watcher re-applies anchors immediately when the network comes back.
+- 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 app 0.5.25: a redesigned settings hub (three-finger tap opens it over the dashboard), seamless transport handoff with FIPS mesh settings, the wallet scanner reads dense invoice QR codes, app webviews clear the phone status bar with an HTTPS toggle on add/edit, and off-LAN loads fall back to the mesh URL instead of a dead LAN address.
+- 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.
+
+## 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
+## Code style
 
-### Backend (Rust)
+- 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.
