release(v1.7.1-alpha): version bump for end-to-end OTA test

Trivial bump on top of df83163f. No code changes — this exists purely so
the fleet nodes now sitting on 1.7.0-alpha have a real target to exercise
the OTA pipeline against: check → download → apply → restart → state
reconciliation. The binary content differs only in the embedded
CARGO_PKG_VERSION string.

Frontend tarball reused from v1.7.0-alpha (same bytes, copied to a new
filename to match the manifest component name convention).

Artefacts:
  archipelago                                     7f7981bd…56eef0  40391760
  archipelago-frontend-1.7.1-alpha.tar.gz (dup of 1.7.0)  dc3b63af…e9a8370  76984288

Manifest changelog is a single plain-language sentence explaining that
this is the test release — per the saved feedback about keeping
fleet-facing strings readable.

-# Quick Build Guide - Archipelago Beta Release
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Make sure you have:
-- Docker or Podman installed
-- `xorriso` installed (for ISO creation)
-- Access to dev server: archipelago@192.168.1.228
-
-**Note**: When building on the target server with `sudo`, the script will automatically install missing dependencies (`xorriso`, `podman`).
-
-## Build Auto-Installer ISO
-
-### Option 1: Build on Target Server (Recommended)
-
-```bash
-# SSH to target server
-ssh archipelago@192.168.1.228
-
-# Navigate to project
-cd ~/archy/image-recipe
-
-# Run build (auto-installs missing deps)
-sudo ./build-auto-installer-iso.sh
-
-# Copy ISO back to your Mac
-# On your Mac:
-scp archipelago@192.168.1.228:~/archy/image-recipe/results/archipelago-auto-installer-*.iso .
-```
-
-### Option 2: Build from Mac (requires Docker)
-
-**Important**: This requires Docker Desktop installed on macOS.
-
-```bash
-cd /Users/dorian/Projects/archy/image-recipe
-
-# Capture current live server state
-DEV_SERVER=archipelago@192.168.1.228 ./build-auto-installer-iso.sh
-
-# ISO will be created in: results/archipelago-auto-installer-*.iso
-```
-
-## What the ISO Includes
-
-✅ Complete Debian 12 root filesystem  
-✅ Pre-built Archipelago backend  
-✅ Pre-built frontend (web UI)  
-✅ **Prepackaged container images** (Bitcoin Knots, LND, UIs, and other bundled apps), loaded on first boot  
-✅ Nginx configuration (HTTPS ready)  
-✅ Auto-installer that:
-  - Detects internal disk
-  - Creates partitions (EFI + root)
-  - Extracts pre-built system
-  - Installs bootloader
-  - Reboots to working system
-
-## What Users Need to Do Post-Install
-
-1. **Start apps from the Web UI** – Container images are prepackaged and loaded on first boot. Bitcoin Knots + UI, LND + UI, and other bundled apps are ready to start from the Web UI without manual `podman run`. No need to pull or deploy core containers.
-
-2. **Access Web UI** – Navigate to `http://[server-ip]`
-
-## Testing the ISO
-
-```bash
-# Use VirtualBox, QEMU, or real hardware
-qemu-system-x86_64 \
-  -m 4G \
-  -cdrom results/archipelago-auto-installer-*.iso \
-  -hda archipelago-test.qcow2 \
-  -boot d
-```
-
-## Important Notes
-
-⚠️ **The auto-installer will ERASE the target disk!**  
-⚠️ Make sure to test on a non-production machine first  
-⚠️ Minimum 20GB disk space required (500GB+ recommended for Bitcoin)
-
-## Build from Source (Alternative)
-
-If you want to build everything from scratch instead of capturing the live server:
-
-```bash
-BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=1 ./build-auto-installer-iso.sh
-```
-
-This will:
-- Build backend from Rust source
-- Build frontend with `npm run build`
-- Create fresh SSL certificates
-- Generate default configs
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-**ISO won't boot:**
-- Ensure UEFI mode is enabled
-- Try disabling Secure Boot
-
-**Installer hangs:**
-- Check the auto-start script fix is applied (see DEPLOYMENT.md)
-
-**Backend doesn't detect containers:**
-- Verify `/etc/sudoers.d/archipelago-podman` exists
-- Check backend can run `sudo podman ps`
-
-## Version Naming
-
-ISOs are automatically named with timestamp:
-```
-archipelago-auto-installer-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.iso
-```
-
-For releases, rename to:
-```
-archipelago-v0.1.0-beta.1.iso
-```
-
-## Next Steps After Building
-
-1. Test the ISO on VM
-2. Verify web UI loads
-3. Test container deployment
-4. Document any issues
-5. Tag the release in git
-6. Upload ISO to distribution point

-# CLAUDE.md — Archipelago (Archy)
-
-## Overview
-
-Archipelago is a **Bitcoin Node OS** — bootable, self-sovereign personal server. Flash to USB, install on hardware, manage via web UI.
-
-**Stack**: Rust backend + Vue 3 + TypeScript (strict) + Vite 7 + Tailwind + Pinia + Podman on Debian 12
-**Version**: 1.3.0 | **Target**: x86_64 and ARM64
-
----
-
-## Beta Freeze (2026-03-18)
-
-**Phase 1: Feature Testing (internal) — WE ARE HERE**
-
-Feature set is LOCKED. Only: bug fixes, security hardening, ISO build fixes, UI polish, testing.
-No new features, no new apps, no new deps, no scope creep.
-
-Track: `docs/BETA-PROGRESS.md` | Checklist: `docs/BETA-RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md`
-
----
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-```bash
-cd neode-ui && npm start          # Local dev (mock backend :5959, Vite :8100)
-cd neode-ui && npm run build      # Build (outputs to web/dist/neode-ui/)
-./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live  # Deploy to live server (.228)
-```
-
-## Infrastructure
-
-| What | Where |
-|------|-------|
-| Dev server | `192.168.1.228` (SSH key: `~/.ssh/archipelago-deploy`) |
-| Secondary | `192.168.1.198` |
-| Git remote | `git.tx1138.com` (remote name: `tx1138`) |
-| App registry | `80.71.235.15:3000/archipelago/` (HTTP, insecure) |
-| CI runner | act_runner on .228, workflow: `.gitea/workflows/build-iso.yml` |
-| ISO builds | FileBrowser at `http://192.168.1.228:8083` → Builds/ |
-| SSH creds | Gitignored `scripts/deploy-config.sh` |
-| Web password | `password123` |
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-Debian 12
-  ├── Podman (rootless, user archipelago)
-  ├── Nginx (80/443 → backend, app proxies)
-  ├── Rust Backend (core/) on 127.0.0.1:5678
-  │     ├── core/archipelago/     — Binary, RPC, auth, sessions
-  │     └── core/container/       — PodmanClient, manifests, health
-  └── Vue.js UI (neode-ui/)
-        ├── src/api/rpc-client.ts — All backend communication
-        ├── src/stores/           — Pinia state
-        ├── src/views/            — Pages
-        └── src/style.css         — ALL styling (global classes only)
-```
-
-**Data paths**: `/var/lib/archipelago/{app-id}/` (data), `/opt/archipelago/web-ui/` (frontend), `/usr/local/bin/archipelago` (binary)
-
-## Critical Rules
-
-1. **Never build Rust on macOS** — deploy script handles cross-compilation via rsync + remote build
-2. **Always deploy after changes** — `./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live`
-3. **Frontend builds to `web/dist/neode-ui/`** — not `neode-ui/dist/`
-4. **Container images**: `scripts/image-versions.sh` is the single source of truth. All scripts use `$*_IMAGE` variables, never hardcoded registry paths.
-5. **Type-check before committing** — `cd neode-ui && npx vue-tsc -b --noEmit`
-
-## Frontend
-
-- `<script setup lang="ts">` always — no Options API
-- Global CSS in `style.css` — **never inline Tailwind**
-- `.glass-button` for ALL buttons — `.gradient-button` is BANNED
-- `.glass-card` for containers, `.path-option-card` for interactive cards
-- `translateZ(0)` + `isolation: isolate` on glass elements (Chromium compositor fix)
-- Pinia for state, typed RPC client, handle loading/error/empty states
-
-## Backend (Rust)
-
-- No `unwrap()`/`expect()` — use `?` with `.context()`
-- `tracing` for logging, never `println!` or log secrets
-- Backend binds `127.0.0.1` only — nginx handles external access
-- Validate all input before path construction — reject `..`, `/`, null bytes
-- `tokio` runtime, timeouts on all external ops
-
-## Security (Post-Pentest)
-
-- RBAC: explicit method allowlists, never prefix matching
-- Session cookies: `SameSite=Lax; HttpOnly; Path=/`
-- Rate-limit auth endpoints, rotate tokens after privilege escalation
-- Validate redirect URLs with `isLocalRedirect()`, never `v-html` with user input
-- Container security: drop ALL caps, add only required, `no-new-privileges`, memory limits, health checks
-- See `.claude/rules/` for detailed crypto, API, container, and Bitcoin rules
-
-## ISO Build & CI
-
-CI builds on every push to `main` via git.tx1138.com Actions.
-
-```bash
-# Manual build on .228:
-ssh archipelago@192.168.1.228
-cd ~/archy/image-recipe
-sudo UNBUNDLED=1 DEV_SERVER=localhost BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=0 ./build-auto-installer-iso.sh
-```
-
-**Debugging fresh installs** — SSH in and check:
-```bash
-cat /var/log/archipelago-install.log              # Full installer output
-cat /var/log/archipelago-first-boot-diagnostics.log  # Service status, nginx, LUKS, etc.
-sudo archipelago-diagnostics                       # Re-run diagnostics anytime
-```
-
-**Kiosk**: X11 on VT7, console on VT1. `Ctrl+Alt+F1` for terminal, `Ctrl+Alt+F7` for kiosk.
-Toggle: `sudo archipelago-kiosk enable|disable|toggle`
-
-## App Integration Checklist
-
-When adding/fixing apps, check ALL of these:
-- `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package/` — config, capabilities, deps
-- `neode-ui/src/views/marketplace/marketplaceData.ts` — marketplace entry
-- `image-recipe/configs/nginx-archipelago.conf` — proxy rules (HTTP + HTTPS)
-- `scripts/image-versions.sh` — pinned image version
-- `scripts/first-boot-containers.sh` — first boot creation
-- `scripts/deploy-to-target.sh` — deploy logic

-# Demo Deployment via Portainer
-
-Deploy Archipelago with the **mock backend** for demos. No real node required.
-
-## Quick Deploy (Portainer)
-
-1. In Portainer: **Stacks** → **Add stack**
-2. Name: `archy-demo`
-3. **Web editor** → paste contents of `docker-compose.demo.yml`
-4. Or **Build from repository**: use this repo URL and set Compose path to `docker-compose.demo.yml`
-5. Deploy
-
-**Access:** http://your-host:4848
-
-## Mock Backend
-
-- Uses the Node.js mock backend (not the Rust backend)
-- Pre-loaded apps, fake data, simulated install/start/stop
-- **Login password:** `password123`
-
-## Port
-
-Default: **4848**. To change, edit the ports mapping in `docker-compose.demo.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-ports:
-  - "YOUR_PORT:80"
-```
-
-## Chat (Claude AI)
-
-Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in the Portainer stack environment to enable real AI chat:
-
-1. In the stack editor, add under **Environment variables**:
-   - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` = your Anthropic API key (starts with `sk-ant-api...`)
-2. Redeploy the stack
-
-Without this key, chat shows a "not configured" error. The key is passed to the `neode-backend` container which proxies requests to `api.anthropic.com`.
-
-## Dev Mode
-
-`VITE_DEV_MODE=existing` skips setup/onboarding and goes straight to login. For other flows:
-
-- `setup` – Password setup screen first
-- `onboarding` – Experimental onboarding flow
-- `existing` – Login only (default for demo)

+# Archipelago App Catalog
+
+Dynamic app catalog for the Archipelago marketplace. Nodes fetch this catalog to discover available apps.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. The Archipelago frontend fetches `catalog.json` from this repo
+2. Apps listed here appear in every node's app store automatically
+3. When a user installs an app, the backend pulls the Docker image and creates the container
+
+## Adding a new app
+
+Add an entry to `catalog.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "my-app",
+  "title": "My App",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "description": "What it does",
+  "icon": "/assets/img/app-icons/my-app.svg",
+  "author": "Author",
+  "category": "data",
+  "dockerImage": "git.tx1138.com/lfg2025/my-app:1.0.0",
+  "repoUrl": "https://github.com/...",
+  "containerConfig": {
+    "ports": ["8080:8080"],
+    "volumes": ["/var/lib/archipelago/my-app:/data"],
+    "env": ["NODE_ENV=production"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For apps with hardcoded backend configs (Bitcoin, LND, etc.), `containerConfig` is optional.
+For new apps, include `containerConfig` so the backend knows how to create the container.
