-# 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

 # Changelog
 
+## v1.7.96-alpha (2026-06-15)
+
+- The screen attached to your node now shows the normal Archipelago interface and your dashboard after you sign in, instead of a separate, stripped-down grid of app icons that could appear in its place. That extra screen has been removed so the attached display matches what you see everywhere else.
+- On a brand-new node, the attached screen now walks through the same welcome and setup steps you'd see on a phone or laptop, and shows the normal sign-in screen once the node is set up — so the on-device display always matches the rest of the interface.
+- When adding a FIPS network anchor, you can now choose whether it connects over TCP (for a public anchor reached across the internet) or UDP (for one on your local network), instead of it always assuming the local-network option.
+- Behind the scenes, a new automated two-node test now exercises real node-to-node features — browsing another node's shared files and handling a removed node — against live nodes before each release, so node-to-node problems are caught earlier.
+
+## v1.7.95-alpha (2026-06-15)
+
+- Browsing another node's shared files now works over the fast encrypted mesh. Opening a peer's cloud could fail with a generic "Operation failed" message because the request for their file list wasn't permitted over the mesh and came back as "not found" — and it never retried over Tor. The mesh now serves the file list directly, and if a peer can't answer over the mesh the node automatically falls back to Tor instead of giving up.
+- Nodes you remove from your federation now stay removed. Previously a deleted node could quietly come back the next time you synced with another node that still listed it. Removed nodes are now remembered as removed and won't reappear on their own — only if you add them back yourself.
+- The app credentials pop-up now appears as a normal centred box with a dimmed background over the whole screen, instead of stretching to fill the entire screen.
+
+## v1.7.94-alpha (2026-06-15)
+
+- Your node now joins the private encrypted mesh network on its own. A wrong built-in setting meant nodes were quietly never reaching the shared mesh meeting point, so everything between nodes fell back to the slower Tor network. Every node now connects to the mesh automatically on startup, so node-to-node features like file sharing use the faster encrypted mesh first and only fall back to Tor when a peer is genuinely offline. (Confirmed live: a node with its mesh setting wiped re-connected to the mesh by itself within a second of starting.)
+- You can now bring the mesh networking software up to the latest stable version straight from the node, with one action — it fetches the new version, checks it's genuine before installing, and restarts the mesh on its own. (Confirmed live end to end: a node on an older build was upgraded to the current stable release and rejoined the mesh automatically.)
+- The Lightning wallet screen connects again on nodes where it was showing a "failed to fetch" error instead of your balance and channels. The wallet app and the node now talk to each other correctly, and the connection quietly repairs itself if its details drift after a restart.
+
+## v1.7.93-alpha (2026-06-14)
+
+- Receiving Bitcoin and Lightning works again on nodes where the Lightning wallet was stuck locked. After some updates the wallet could come back locked with a password the node no longer had, so "generate a receive address" kept failing with a "wallet is locked" message that nothing could clear. The node now detects this and repairs itself automatically.
+- Each node now secures its Lightning wallet with its own unique, randomly generated password instead of a shared built-in one, and remembers it safely so the wallet unlocks on its own after every restart or update — no more getting stuck locked.
+- If a wallet is found locked with an unrecoverable password, the node rebuilds it cleanly so Bitcoin and Lightning start working again. (On these early-access nodes the wallet holds no funds, so nothing is lost — a wallet locked with an unknown password was already inaccessible.)
+- The self-repair was validated end to end on live nodes: a stuck, locked wallet was detected, rebuilt, and came back unlocked on its own, and stayed unlocked across restarts.
+
+## v1.7.92-alpha (2026-06-14)
+
+- The Electrum server app no longer flashes a "can't connect, try again" error over its loading screen while it's still catching up. If ElectrumX is building its index or waiting on the Bitcoin node, you now just see the sync progress, and the app opens on its own once it's ready.
+- Behind the scenes, the reboot-survival test now confirms the whole system is genuinely healthy after a restart — every app reachable, updates not stuck, core services answering — instead of only checking that containers came back, so update-related problems are caught before shipping.
+- Settings → What's New now lists the notes for every recent release again. The screen had quietly fallen several versions behind, so the last eight releases of changes weren't showing up there — they're all back now, and a release check keeps it from drifting again.
+
+## v1.7.91-alpha (2026-06-14)
+
+- Apps you've installed now reliably show their "Open" button again. Some apps — including Jellyfin, BTCPay Server, Fedimint, Gitea and Portainer — were running fine but their launch link sometimes went missing, so there was no way to open them from the home screen. They now open correctly.
+- Receiving Bitcoin is more dependable: if the wallet's internal connection details drift after a restart, it now repairs them on its own, and any error it does hit is reported clearly instead of as a generic failure or a misleading "wallet locked" message.
+- Installing Bitcoin now sets itself up correctly without manual help — a security credential that could previously be missing and stop Bitcoin from starting is created automatically before it launches.
+- The Electrum server app is back on the home screen and can be launched again.
+- Behind the scenes, the release now runs an expanded automated test suite before shipping, so these kinds of issues are caught earlier.
+
+## v1.7.90-alpha (2026-06-13)
+
+- Generating a Bitcoin receive address works again — the wallet now requests the correct address type, fixing the "400 Bad Request" error when creating an address.
+- In the companion app, the on-screen pointer can now click into apps and type — including the app store search box — instead of clicks and keystrokes not reaching app content.
+- "Open in a new tab" from the companion app now opens the app in your phone's browser, instead of doing nothing. The normal mobile browser keeps working as before.
+- The login/credentials pop-up on phones is once again a centered, properly sized window rather than stretching the full height of the screen.
+- The Electrum server now recovers on its own if its index ever gets corrupted, and shows a clear progress screen (with percent complete and block height) while it builds its index, instead of a blank or broken page.
+- Software updates are more reliable on slow internet connections — downloads are given much more time to finish before giving up.
+
+## v1.7.89-alpha (2026-06-12)
+
+- The AI assistant looks the way it always did again: no extra back button or close button on phones, and the desktop view fills the whole screen without a gap at the bottom.
+- System updates are much more reliable: updates that previously got stuck partway or failed to install now complete cleanly, and a failed update can no longer block all future updates.
+- After an update, the system now checks itself correctly on every node type, so working updates are no longer mistakenly undone.
+- Generating a Bitcoin receive address works again on nodes where a network proxy previously got in the way.
+- The Lightning wallet now recovers and unlocks itself properly after restarts.
+
+## v1.7.88-alpha (2026-06-12)
+
+- AIUI now loads immediately again instead of waiting on a production availability probe and cache-busted iframe URL, restoring the lighter launch behavior from before the regression.
+- Bitcoin receive now uses LND's GET-based newaddress flow with the native SegWit address type, fixing the `501 Method Not Allowed` response from the previous POST attempt.
+- Validation pending on the AIUI rollback; the rest of the release train remains unchanged.
+
+## v1.7.87-alpha (2026-06-12)
+
+- Bitcoin receive now calls LND's on-chain address endpoint with the correct REST method, and backend failures keep the specific address-generation error instead of collapsing into the generic operation-failed message.
+- App launch credential interstitials now render as true full-screen overlays, and the launcher loading indicator uses the neutral brand palette instead of a blue spinner.
+- Validation passed with `git diff --check`, `npm run type-check`, and the focused frontend tests for `bitcoinReceive` and `AppIconGrid`.
+
+## v1.7.86-alpha (2026-06-12)
+
+- Fleet now preserves the last known node list, alerts, and selection locally while telemetry refreshes in the background, so the dashboard no longer blanks on tab switches or update scans.
+- Connected nodes and identities now reuse their last loaded data instead of reloading the visible list every time the user revisits the tab.
+- The Fleet matrix and detail views now show actual node names and host information instead of raw node id prefixes.
+- The network map only redraws when its graph data actually changes, which stops the D3 scene from visually resetting on every refresh tick.
+- Mobile federation and system-update actions now stack full width, and the ElectrumX app health check allows a long startup window so slow sync nodes do not restart mid-index.
+- Validation passed with `git diff --check`, focused frontend tests, and `npm run type-check`.
+
+## v1.7.85-alpha (2026-06-12)
+
+- ElectrumX now runs with less cache pressure and more memory headroom, reducing the restart loop seen during sync catch-up.
+- Portainer is pinned to `2.19.4` instead of `latest`, avoiding schema-drift restarts from surprise image updates.
+- LND receive-address creation now asks for a native SegWit address and returns clearer wallet/readiness failures when an address is not available.
+- Fleet telemetry now carries server name, hostname, and server URL, and the Fleet dashboard shows those names instead of hashed node ids.
+- Trusted federation peers are still auto-added transitively, but the local node no longer imports itself back into the fleet list.
+- Validation passed locally for the touched frontend helpers, `git diff --check`, and Rust formatting.
+
+## v1.7.84-alpha (2026-06-11)
+
+- Bitcoin trusted-node relay approvals now generate restricted `txrelay` RPC credentials when needed and restart the active Bitcoin backend so bitcoind loads the new `rpcauth` whitelist.
+- Kiosk mode now includes a browser safe-area path for HDMI displays that crop edges, and self-update refreshes kiosk launcher/systemd files so display fixes ship to existing nodes. The experimental X11 scaling safe-area is opt-in to avoid stretching TV output.
+- Wi-Fi setup now reports scan errors instead of showing an empty network list, supports retrying scans from the modal, parses escaped `nmcli` SSIDs correctly, and can join open networks without forcing a WPA password.
+- Bitcoin Core now matches Bitcoin Knots for restricted relay RPC support, including the txrelay secret injection and transaction broadcast whitelist.
+- The restricted Bitcoin relay whitelist now includes `submitpackage` and `gettxout`, covering newer wallet/package-relay broadcast flows without opening wallet/admin RPC.
+- The Bitcoin UI companion image is pinned to `1.7.84-alpha` across release metadata and the Quadlet fallback path, avoiding stale `latest` detection during OTA updates.
+- Container scanning now uses an RAII in-flight guard so timeout and error paths cannot leave the scanner stuck in a permanently busy state.
+- Validation passed with `cargo fmt`, `cargo check -p archipelago`, `git diff --check`, and focused source review of the relay message/approval path.
+
+## v1.7.83-alpha (2026-06-11)
+
+- App launch metadata now derives more consistently from app manifests, with typed launch interfaces and catalog generation updates that keep packaged apps aligned with their runtime ports and launch surfaces.
+- Revoked or unsupported app surfaces were removed from the catalog and release path, including OnlyOffice and the unvalidated Saleor surface, so the Marketplace no longer exposes apps that cannot be safely supported in this release.
+- The frontend production build now passes strict TypeScript checks after tightening app details, Web5, cloud refresh, and credential test typing.
+- Mobile and desktop app surfaces received release polish: improved mobile app layout, safer mesh desktop/tablet scrolling, and the Home system card now routes directly to monitoring.
+- Bitcoin UI status rendering now avoids false stale/reconnecting states when fresh block snapshots advance, and guards optional DOM updates so the standalone Bitcoin UI is more resilient.
+- Deploy tooling now excludes local Codex scratch output, archived image-build artifacts, and upload screenshots from target syncs, and bounded optional IndeedHub fixups so a stuck Podman helper cannot hold the deploy.
+- Validation passed with `npm run type-check`, production `npm run build`, backend `cargo build --release`, catalog/release manifest checks, focused frontend tests, and live `.198` deploy verification through the frontend/service restart phase.
+
+## v1.7.82-alpha (2026-05-22)
+
+- Saleor storefront proxying now forwards `X-Forwarded-Host`, fixing Next.js Server Actions requests that compared the browser origin with the internal `storefront-app:3000` upstream host.
+- Saleor storefront media now routes `/thumbnail/` and `/media/` through the same `9011` proxy to the Saleor API, fixing product image optimizer failures caused by `localhost:8000` media URLs.
+- The Saleor storefront container receives an explicit internal media origin so rewritten media URLs resolve inside the Podman network without exposing private API ports to browsers.
+- Validation passed with `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and live checks on `100.114.134.21` for storefront HTML, static assets, GraphQL, media redirects, and optimized product images.
+
+## v1.7.81-alpha (2026-05-21)
+
+- Saleor storefront installs now use the prebuilt registry image instead of building the Next.js app on-device, avoiding Podman build failures during stack installation.
+- Existing Saleor stacks are repaired on adoption by recreating missing storefront containers, forcing the storefront app to bind `0.0.0.0:3000`, and resolving nginx upstreams dynamically after container restarts.
+- The shipped Saleor storefront image now includes public assets and omits Vercel-only Speed Insights injection, fixing broken static asset responses and the local `/_vercel/speed-insights/script.js` browser warning.
+- Validation passed with `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and live checks on `100.114.134.21` for `9011` storefront, static assets, and proxied GraphQL.
+
+## v1.7.80-alpha (2026-05-21)
+
+- Saleor storefront proxying now falls back to the direct request scheme when no forwarded protocol header is present, fixing direct `http://node:9011` launches that could generate an invalid same-origin GraphQL URL.
+- The Saleor storefront release path keeps public proxy support intact by still honoring forwarded HTTPS headers for Nginx Proxy Manager domains while repairing local/direct port launches.
+- Validation passed with `cargo fmt --check` and `cargo check` for the Archipelago backend before release staging.
+
+## v1.7.79-alpha (2026-05-20)
+
+- Saleor now installs the official Saleor Storefront as part of the stack, built from the pinned `saleor/storefront` source and served as the customer-facing shop on port `9011`.
+- Saleor app launches now open the storefront while the admin dashboard remains available on port `9010` with the generated `admin@example.com` credentials shown in Archipelago.
+- Public Nginx Proxy Manager hosts forwarding to the Saleor storefront also expose same-origin `/graphql/`, so public storefront domains can talk to the local Saleor API without mixed-content or private-LAN reachability failures.
+- Saleor stack metadata, marketplace descriptions, catalog ports, scanner exclusions, and app-session routing now describe the storefront/dashboard/API split explicitly.
+
+## v1.7.78-alpha (2026-05-20)
+
+- Public Nginx Proxy Manager hosts for Saleor now keep browser GraphQL calls same-origin at `/graphql/` and proxy them to the local API on `8000`, fixing `Failed to fetch` when a public domain such as `noderunner.shop` was loaded from devices that cannot reach the node's private LAN/tailnet API address.
+- Saleor's validated stack changes are now release-ready: dashboard origins on port `9010` are explicitly allowed for dashboard/API calls, preserving the working test-node install path for production nodes.
+- NetBird launches now stay pinned to the unified dashboard/proxy origin on port `8087` instead of following stale runtime-discovered server URLs on `8086`.
+- NetBird's local nginx proxy now routes browser API, OAuth, relay, and WebSocket traffic through `host.containers.internal:8086` instead of a hard-coded rootless Podman gateway IP, and includes the upstream `management.ProxyService` gRPC path.
+- The mobile credentials interstitial now keeps credential lists scrollable and action buttons reachable in both My Apps and the mobile app icon grid.
+- Android WebView popup windows now hand external popup URLs to the system browser, covering app login/signup flows that open secondary windows.
+- Validation passed with `git diff --check`, `cargo check -p archipelago`, and the focused `npm test -- src/views/appSession/__tests__/appSessionConfig.test.ts` suite.
+
+## v1.7.77-alpha (2026-05-20)
+
+- Saleor first-use now exposes generated credentials through Archipelago instead of leaving users at an unexplained dashboard login: App Details shows copyable `admin@example.com` credentials, and My Apps/mobile icon launches show a pre-launch credentials modal.
+- Saleor installs now create or repair the `admin@example.com` staff account idempotently after sample data loads, use the correct dashboard mount path, and re-check stack containers after startup so stopped containers are caught.
+- NetBird embedded login now uses the upstream-compatible IdP signing-key behavior and sends ID tokens from the dashboard to the management API, fixing the post-signup `Unauthenticated` state while preserving the unified local proxy/logout routes.
+- Transient unnamed Podman helper containers created during app install tasks are hidden from My Apps, so generated names like `eager_keldysh` no longer appear as user applications.
+- Validation passed with catalog/release JSON checks, `npm run type-check`, and `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`; live checks on `100.114.134.21` confirmed Saleor dashboard/API availability, generated Saleor admin login, NetBird OAuth availability, and NetBird logout redirects.
+
+## v1.7.76-alpha (2026-05-20)
+
+- Saleor installs now use dashboard port `9010`, avoiding the existing Portainer `9000` binding on the test node while keeping API `8000`, Mailpit `8025`, and Jaeger `16686` unchanged.
+- Saleor's Valkey cache no longer bind-mounts `/var/lib/archipelago/saleor-cache`, and the dashboard container has the minimal rootless nginx capabilities it needs to chown cache files, bind port 80 inside the container, and drop workers to the nginx user.
+- NetBird's browser proxy now sends API, OAuth, relay, WebSocket, and management traffic through the stable host-published server port at `169.254.1.2:8086`, avoiding stale rootless Podman DNS/IPs after `netbird-server` restarts.
+- Mobile App Store category chips now stay visible above the tab bar, Discover is available on mobile, and category selection updates the page route/query so the selected category is actually shown.
+- Apps that require a real browser tab now open directly from the app icon tap instead of first entering an in-shell app-session route, including BTCPay, Grafana, Home Assistant, Vaultwarden, Nextcloud, Portainer, OnlyOffice, Tailscale, Uptime Kuma, Gitea, and Nginx Proxy Manager.
+- Validation passed with catalog JSON checks, `npm run type-check`, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`; live checks on `100.70.96.88` confirmed Saleor dashboard `9010`/API `8000` and NetBird API/OAuth routes survive `netbird-server` restart.
+
+## v1.7.75-alpha (2026-05-19)

+- Saleor is now published as a recommended commerce app with catalog metadata, icon, direct app-session launch on port `9000`, scanner metadata, image pins, and a full stack installer for dashboard, API, worker, PostgreSQL, Valkey, Mailpit, and Jaeger.
+- Existing NetBird installs are repaired more aggressively by rewriting unified-origin config, recreating the dashboard/proxy containers, restarting the server, preserving data, and handling exact `/api` and `/oauth2` routes plus dashboard logout redirects through the local proxy.
+- Desktop dashboard scrolling now hands focus back from the sidebar to the main content when the pointer or wheel moves over the main pane, preventing the sidebar scroll area from trapping wheel input on short screens.
+- Validation passed with catalog JSON checks, `npm run type-check`, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml` before release.
+
+## v1.7.74-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- App-session right panels now re-focus the iframe after load and when the frame area is activated, so wheel/touch scrolling works immediately after switching tabs or selecting an app on shorter screens.
+- NetBird now launches through a unified local origin on port `8087` that proxies the dashboard plus `/oauth2`, `/api`, relay, WebSocket, and gRPC routes to `netbird-server`, fixing the embedded login flow that previously ended in `Unauthenticated` or `404 page not found` after logout.
+- Existing NetBird installs are repaired on adopt/start by rewriting `config.yaml`, `dashboard.env`, and the local nginx proxy config, then creating the missing `netbird-dashboard` and `netbird` proxy containers when needed while preserving NetBird data.
+- Saleor is still pending and is not included in this release; its registry/installer work remains local until it can be validated separately.
+- Validation passed with catalog JSON checks, `npm run type-check`, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## v1.7.73-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- Mobile app launches for iframe-blocked apps now open the direct app URL in a new browser tab immediately instead of landing in a broken in-shell webview that requires a second tap.
+- Mobile My Apps/Websites tabs now react to route query changes, App Store pages label the mobile view as Discover, mobile filters have safe bottom spacing, and App Store search ignores the current category so searches cover all available apps.
+- My Apps search now surfaces matching App Store entries when the app is not installed, making it possible to jump directly from a failed My Apps search to the installable app details.
+- NetBird self-host installs now prefer a `100.x` tailnet/CGNAT address for dashboard, management, relay, STUN, and auth redirect origins when one is present; live repair on `100.89.209.89` updated the existing stack from LAN origins to `100.89.209.89` and restored `netbird-server`.
+- App-session iframe frames now focus automatically and wrap the iframe in a scroll host so wheel/touch scrolling works in the active right frame without requiring an initial click.
+
+## v1.7.72-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- Settings What's New now includes the missing release notes for `v1.7.68-alpha` through `v1.7.71-alpha`, so the modal reflects the current OTA history instead of stopping at `v1.7.67-alpha`.
+- The follow-up release carries the NetBird install fix, Gitea icon polish, mobile app-session fallback updates, and rounder app icon masks from `v1.7.71-alpha` with the Settings modal notes included.
+- The local Cargo lockfile version metadata is kept in sync with the release bump after the previous release build updated it.
+
+## v1.7.71-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- NetBird stack installs now pre-create `/var/lib/archipelago/netbird/data` before binding it into `netbird-server`, fixing the failed install/start path seen on `100.70.96.88` where Podman rejected the missing host directory.
+- NetBird start/restart ordering now starts `netbird-server` before the dashboard container so lifecycle actions bring the control plane up before the UI.
+- App-session invalid IDs and panel-mode fallbacks now return to `/dashboard/apps`, avoiding the stale `/apps` route that could render a 404.
+- Mobile launches for apps that block iframes now stay inside the Archipelago app-session fallback instead of automatically opening an external browser tab.
+- Installed Gitea containers now report the packaged Gitea icon, and app icon masks use a rounder radius on mobile grids, app cards, and detail headers.
+- Validation passed with `npm run type-check`, focused Vitest app-session/app-grid tests, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## v1.7.70-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- NetBird is being corrected from the peer/client daemon image to the self-hosted NetBird control-plane stack with a launchable dashboard on port `8087`, a combined management/signal/relay server on `8086`, and STUN on UDP `3478`.
+- App sessions now always launch local apps through direct host ports and carry an explicit dashboard return target, so closing an iframe returns to the launching dashboard screen instead of falling through to browser history or a 404.
+- Mobile app launches ignore stale desktop panel state and route into the full app-session webview consistently.
+- The desktop sidebar now pins the logo/version at the top and controller/online/mode controls at the bottom, with only the navigation section scrolling on shorter screens.
+- Validation passed with catalog JSON checks, `scripts/image-versions.sh` syntax check, `npm run type-check`, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## v1.7.69-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- App installs now allow up to 10 minutes for the initial `package.install` RPC to return, matching slow container image pulls and preventing apps from disappearing from My Apps while the backend is still pulling or retrying mirrors.
+- Live diagnostics on `100.70.96.88` confirmed the Gitea install did not fail; the primary registry pull timed out after 300 seconds, the fallback mirror succeeded, and Gitea came up healthy on `3001` while the frontend had already timed out at 15 seconds.
+- Gitea and other Docker-image app installs now stay visible during slow registry pulls instead of being marked as failed by the browser before backend install progress can complete.
+- Gitea is now categorized as a known Data app in My Apps, so a running Gitea container appears with installed apps instead of being filtered into the Websites/Services split.
+- NetBird `0.71.2` is now available in the app catalog and fallback marketplace data as a recommended networking app using the official `docker.io/netbirdio/netbird:0.71.2` image.
+- NetBird installs get persistent state under `/var/lib/archipelago/netbird`, `NET_ADMIN`/`NET_RAW`, `/dev/net/tun`, `slirp4netns`, image-version pinning, backend metadata, and health checks through `netbird status`.
+- The Archipelago terminal now includes `nano` on new disk installs and ISO builds, and self-update installs it on existing nodes if it is missing.
+- Validation passed with catalog JSON checks, shell syntax checks, `npm run type-check`, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## v1.7.68-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- BTCPay Server now ships on the official `docker.io/btcpayserver/btcpayserver:2.3.9` image, fixing the plugin catalog crash caused by newer plugin dependency version metadata while preserving existing datadirs and Postgres databases.
+- BTCPay release and first-boot health checks no longer depend on `curl` inside the container; they use a bash TCP probe that works with the official image out of the box.
+- Host nginx now serves Nginx Proxy Manager HTTP-01 challenge files before the Archipelago SPA fallback and is marked as the default HTTP/HTTPS virtual host, so public proxy hosts can issue certificates without hijacking local API traffic.
+- Nginx Proxy Manager first-boot, runtime repair, and container-doctor paths now pre-create the ACME webroot, keep bind mounts owned by the rootless Archipelago user, and sync issued public proxy hosts into host nginx vhosts.
+- The Nginx Proxy Manager host-nginx sync now skips proxy hosts with missing certificate files and rolls back the generated nginx include if validation fails, preventing a bad certificate path from poisoning later nginx reloads.
+- App session close buttons now return to the previous dashboard screen when possible and otherwise fall back to My Apps, avoiding the 404 page after closing an app launched from an invalid or stale history entry.
+- System Update confirmation and mirror modals now teleport to the document body with a full-screen overlay, so they cover the whole app instead of only the right-hand dashboard panel.
+- Mobile app launches stay inside Archipelago's app-session webview and hide desktop-only new-tab launch affordances, including apps such as Home Assistant that previously looked like they would leave the mobile shell.
+- Live recovery on `100.70.96.88` upgraded only the `btcpay-server` container to `docker.io/btcpayserver/btcpayserver:2.3.9`, preserved the existing datadir and Postgres database, and confirmed the container is healthy after a pre-upgrade backup.
+- Public validation confirmed `spay.tx1138.com`/`www` redirect to BTCPay login over HTTPS and `sapien.tx1138.com`/`www` serve the L484 page over HTTPS using the issued Let's Encrypt certificates.
+
+## v1.7.67-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Home dashboard status cards now keep the last known good system, VPN, Bitcoin, and FIPS values while route changes or transient RPC failures are in flight, avoiding false "not configured" or "not running" flashes.
+- Home, Web5 Monitoring, and the Monitoring page headline cards now share the same live system-stat snapshot for CPU, memory, disk, uptime, and load so the visible numbers agree across the UI.
+- Settings What's New is filled through `v1.7.67-alpha`, including the missing historical `v1.7.44-alpha` through `v1.7.66-alpha` entries.
+- Bitcoin/Knots/Core shell lifecycle specs now match the Rust app config memory policy: 8 GiB on normal hosts, 4 GiB on low-memory hosts, and pruned Knots uses a larger dbcache on hosts with enough RAM to improve IBD throughput.
+- ElectrumX/electrs shell lifecycle specs now match the 4 GiB memory policy used by the Rust app config, reducing drift between first boot, reconcile, and app lifecycle paths.
+- Live assessment of `100.70.96.88` identified the current IBD bottlenecks as CPU/thermal/I/O pressure rather than RAM exhaustion, with follow-up work planned for existing-node swap repair, kiosk Chromium CPU reduction, and reconcile failure cleanup.
+
+## v1.7.66-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Nginx Proxy Manager stale-port repair now detects stopped or `Created` Podman records by inspecting `podman ps -a` port metadata, covering records where `podman port nginx-proxy-manager` returns no mapping until start.
+- Live recovery on `100.70.96.88` removed only the stale Nginx Proxy Manager container record and recreated it with `8081:81`, `8084:80`, and `8444:443`, preserving `/var/lib/archipelago/nginx-proxy-manager` data.
+- Validation confirmed Nginx Proxy Manager recovered as healthy and responds through direct admin port `8081`, host compatibility port `81`, and `/app/nginx-proxy-manager/`.
+
+## v1.7.65-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Orchestrator-backed app starts now run the same pre-start repairs as the legacy Podman path, so Nginx Proxy Manager stale `81:81` container metadata is removed and recreated before the orchestrator tries to start it.
+- Live diagnostics on `100.70.96.88` confirmed host nginx is healthy while Nginx Proxy Manager has no listeners on `8081`, `8084`, or `8444`, causing host nginx `502` responses for NPM proxy paths.
+
+## v1.7.64-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Update apply rate limiting is relaxed for authenticated admins from 2 attempts per 10 minutes to 10 attempts per minute, preventing the System Update page from getting stuck behind `429 Too Many Requests` during legitimate OTA retry/troubleshooting flows.
+- The corrected backend artifact rebuild protection from `v1.7.63-alpha` remains in place, so this release is built from a fresh Rust backend binary before publishing.
+
+## v1.7.63-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Release automation now rebuilds the Rust backend after bumping the version and before hashing release artifacts, preventing OTA manifests from pointing at a stale backend binary.
+- This corrected release carries the Nginx Proxy Manager stale-port repair in an updated backend binary, so nodes running `1.7.61-alpha` can actually receive and execute the fix.
+- Validation confirmed the previously published `v1.7.62-alpha` backend artifact still contained `1.7.61-alpha`, explaining why nodes did not advance after applying that update.
+
+## v1.7.62-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Nginx Proxy Manager start and restart now repair stale Podman containers that still publish the admin UI on host port `81`, which conflicts with host nginx on updated nodes.
+- The repair recreates only the stale Nginx Proxy Manager container metadata while preserving `/var/lib/archipelago/nginx-proxy-manager` data and using the current `8081:81`, `8084:80`, and `8444:443` mappings.
+- Runtime stale-listener cleanup for Nginx Proxy Manager is shared across start and restart paths so rootless port helper leftovers are still cleared before lifecycle retries.
+- Validation passed with `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml` and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## v1.7.61-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Multi-container stack installs now keep their app card in the `Installing` state for up to 20 minutes while dependency containers are being pulled and prepared.
+- BTCPay Server installs no longer appear to vanish or fail after two minutes while Postgres and NBXplorer are still being created before the primary `btcpay-server` container exists.
+- The stale-transition escape hatch remains short for start, stop, restart, update, and removal operations, so genuinely wedged lifecycle actions still recover quickly.
+- Live validation on `100.70.96.88` confirmed BTCPay Server completed installation and responds on port `23000` with the expected HTTP redirect.
+
+## v1.7.60-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Meshtastic serial detection now rejects malformed or incomplete handshakes instead of accepting unrelated serial devices as a fallback Meshtastic radio.
+- Mesh radio auto-detection now skips known non-mesh serial devices such as Sierra Wireless LTE modems and Zooz/Z-Wave sticks, avoiding interference with production peripherals.
+- Meshtastic config sync now sends `want_config_id` with the correct protobuf wire type, fixing radio-side `ignore malformed toradio` errors and allowing node-info/contact ingestion.
+- The stable `/dev/mesh-radio` udev rule no longer claims every `ttyACM*` device; it only matches known mesh USB serial adapters and known USB CDC ACM radio vendors.
+- Live validation on `100.70.96.88` confirmed Archipelago selects `/dev/ttyUSB0`, identifies the Meshtastic node, and refreshes 103 mesh contacts.
+
+## v1.7.59-alpha (2026-05-17)
+
+- Mobile app launching now keeps known container apps inside Archipelago's app-session flow instead of forcing desktop-only new-tab behavior on phones.
+- App sessions on mobile now respect the status-bar safe area so foreground iframe content starts below the device chrome while the fullscreen backdrop remains edge-to-edge.
+- Prepackaged website launch buttons now resolve their curated website URLs before website-container fallback logic, restoring launches for the L484 sites and adding the Arch Presentation bookmark.
+- Meshtastic contact discovery now drains the radio config stream through completion and retries config sync when the contact cache is empty, so nearby nodes already known by the radio are more likely to appear in Archipelago.
+- The Apps page now includes a compact sideload button and modal for installing trusted Docker images with optional title, description, and port mapping metadata.
+- Sideloaded app title and description metadata now persist through the backend app-config file so refreshed package scans do not collapse custom apps back to generic IDs.
+- Validation passed with `npm test -- appLauncher`, `npm run build`, `cargo check -p archipelago`, and `cargo fmt --all --check`.
+
+## v1.7.58-alpha (2026-05-17)
+
+- Mesh networking now supports Meshtastic radios over the Meshtastic serial API in addition to existing MeshCore Companion USB radios.
+- The mesh listener now probes preferred and auto-detected serial paths for both MeshCore and Meshtastic firmware, preserving the existing reconnect loop so unplug/replug and firmware hot-swap behavior stays consistent.
+- Meshtastic text packets are translated into the existing Archipelago mesh frame pipeline, so current RPC handlers, transport routing, message storage, typed-message decoding, and UI state continue to work without a separate frontend path.
+- Meshtastic node information is surfaced as normal mesh contacts using stable synthetic public keys derived from Meshtastic node numbers, allowing peer refresh and message attribution to reuse existing MeshCore contact handling.
+- Outbound Archipelago mesh messages can now be sent through Meshtastic as channel text packets using the same command path used by MeshCore channel broadcasts.
+- Device status now reports the detected firmware family as `meshcore` or `meshtastic` from the shared listener abstraction.
+- Radio udev rules now include USB CDC ACM serial devices (`ttyACM*`) alongside CP2102, CH340, and FTDI adapters so Meshtastic boards are more likely to appear through the stable `/dev/mesh-radio` symlink.
+- Host nginx now serves `/assets/*` hashed frontend chunks as immutable static files with a hard 404 on misses instead of falling back to `index.html`, preventing strict MIME errors when a browser has a stale pre-update HTML shell.
+- The SPA HTML shell and service-worker files now revalidate on every load, reducing stale frontend references after OTA updates.
+- OTA runtime promotion now installs the bundled `nginx-archipelago.conf` into `/etc/nginx/sites-available/archipelago` and reloads nginx after a successful config test, so frontend cache/fallback fixes reach existing nodes without a manual deploy.
+- Local validation passed with `cargo check -p archipelago`; live SSH testing against `100.70.96.88` was not completed because temporary public-key authentication was rejected on the target.
+
+## v1.7.57-alpha (2026-05-17)
+
+- Nginx Proxy Manager now avoids privileged rootless Podman host port `81`, preferring `8081:81` while host nginx keeps a compatibility proxy on `:81` for stale cached launch buttons.
+- App installs now allocate ports by checking live host bind availability, falling back to a free high port when preferred ports are already occupied.
+- Portainer-created launchable containers are separated into a `Websites` tab and launch through their discovered published host port instead of hard-coded app URLs.
+- Internal BuildKit helper containers such as `buildx_buildkit_default` are hidden from the Apps UI.
+- Portainer works out of the box on Debian 13/Podman installs by including `catatonit` and by preserving the Podman socket mount as a socket rather than creating it as a directory.
+
+## v1.7.56-alpha (2026-05-15)
+
+- Health notifications now clear when an app is no longer unhealthy, including stale alerts for removed containers such as Portainer.
+- Fresh installs now include the full Wi-Fi userspace stack (`wpasupplicant`, `wireless-regdb`, `iw`, `rfkill`, `polkitd`, `pciutils`, and `usbutils`) so NetworkManager can scan and connect with Intel Wi-Fi cards out of the box.
+- The installed system now grants the `archipelago` service user explicit NetworkManager PolicyKit access for web-triggered Wi-Fi scans and connection changes.
+- Wi-Fi connect now replaces stale/partial NetworkManager profiles and creates an explicit WPA-PSK profile with the supplied password, avoiding no-secret retry failures after a failed attempt.
+- Settings password changes now update the Linux/SSH password through non-interactive sudo, so the web password and SSH password stay in sync when the checkbox is enabled.
+- Quadlet environment values with spaces or shell metacharacters are quoted consistently, preventing env drift recreate loops for apps like nostr-rs-relay and Grafana.
+- Boot/bootstrap reconcile avoids restarting running Bitcoin containers while repairing RPC config, preserving IBD progress on active nodes.
+- Exit code 137 is labeled as SIGKILL instead of assuming OOM, avoiding false OOM alerts for orchestrator-managed recreates.
+- Container reconcile force-recreates Podman records stuck in `Stopping`, preserving bind-mounted app data while recovering wedged containers automatically.
+- Container health reporting is honest for running containers: Archipelago surfaces Podman's actual health state instead of marking every running container healthy.
+- Quadlet reconciliation restarts services when stale health gates, port bindings, network aliases, exec commands, or healthchecks drift from the current manifest.
+- Bitcoin Knots sync performance improves on fresh installs and updates with 8Gi container memory, a 4Gi dbcache, and full CPU parallelism.
+- ElectrumX initial indexing gets more headroom: CPU caps are removed, memory is raised to 4Gi, cache is raised to 3Gi, and oversized sends are allowed for heavier wallet/indexing workloads.
+- Mempool/ElectrumX lifecycle qualification respects pruned/non-archival Bitcoin nodes instead of installing a half-running stack with unhealthy dependencies.
+- LND wallet/RPC helpers are more tolerant of container-owned files and updated REST port metadata, improving LND lifecycle and wallet-connect flows.
+- Marketplace/catalog metadata carries richer container config so remote lifecycle tests install apps using the same settings users get from the UI.
+- The app screensaver no longer activates during media-heavy app sessions such as IndeeHub, Jellyfin, Immich, PhotoPrism, and File Browser; apps can also pause/resume it with media playback messages.
+- A fresh `1.7.56-alpha` unbundled installer ISO is built from the same primary VPS2 release line for easy download and USB flashing.
+
+## v1.7.55-alpha (2026-05-13)
+
+- Container reconcile now force-recreates Podman records stuck in `Stopping`, preserving bind-mounted app data while recovering wedged containers automatically.
+- `.198` is green after the container-layer hardening pass: focused and broad non-destructive lifecycle audits pass, raw Podman health/state sweep is clean, and direct app probes return healthy responses.
+- Release-candidate artifacts are staged separately from live update publishing while Gitea artifact hosting is repaired.
+
+## v1.7.54-alpha (2026-05-06)
+
+- Existing installs now self-repair nginx backend proxy locations for `/bitcoin-status` and `/api/app-catalog`, including hosts where `sites-enabled/archipelago` is a copied active file instead of a symlink.
+- LND UI is consistently served on `18083` across first boot, Tor config, companion Quadlet reconciliation, OTA runtime payloads, and ISO scripts; stale companion units/images are rewritten instead of only checking service active state.
+- OTA frontend tarballs now carry a clean runtime payload with updated scripts, docker UI sources, and canonical nginx config, preventing startup promotion from reintroducing stale host assets.
+- Release ISO builds now support the primary HTTP app registry when bundling core images, so unbundled media includes File Browser/Cloud support instead of requiring a post-install Marketplace download.
+- `.116` was live-updated with the new backend and runtime scripts; focused non-destructive lifecycle audit passes for Bitcoin Knots, LND, BTCPay, Mempool, and Grafana.
+
+## v1.7.53-alpha (2026-05-05)
+
+- Bitcoin Knots/Core config generation no longer duplicates RPC bind and port settings between `bitcoin.conf` and container command args, fixing `Unable to bind all endpoints for RPC server` startup failures.
+- Legacy Bitcoin container healthchecks no longer depend on `bitcoin-cli`, which is absent from current Knots images and can wedge Podman healthcheck runners.
+- Update checks now prefer manifest OTA releases over stale git remotes unless `ARCHIPELAGO_GIT_UPDATES` is explicitly enabled, so installed nodes can see published releases from the VPS mirror.
+
+## v1.7.52-alpha (2026-05-05)
+
+- Tailscale now launches the local installed web UI on port `8240` and starts `tailscaled` before `tailscale web`, fixing unreachable installs after container creation.
+- Grafana install/start/restart now repairs missing rootless host listeners on port `3000`, matching the existing SearXNG, Uptime Kuma, and Gitea recovery path.
+- Debian 13/Trixie ISO and disk-install paths now force security updates from `trixie-security` during image/install creation so rebuilt release media includes patched base packages.
+- Broad `.198` lifecycle audit passes with the current qualified app set; known absent blockers remain `electrumx`, `photoprism`, `dwn`, and `ollama`.
+
+## v1.7.49-alpha (2026-04-30)
+
+- Bitcoin Knots/Core UI now reports connection, reconnecting, syncing, and error states from a backend status bridge instead of showing a stale "Unable to connect" message while the node is warming up.
+- ElectrumX UI now exposes indexed height, local Bitcoin height, known headers, status, and progress source so indexing/waiting states are readable during long initial sync.
+- Added container doctor timer and smoke/lifecycle test coverage for Bitcoin Knots/Core, ElectrumX, Mempool, BTCPay/NBXplorer, and UI surface availability.
+- Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots are mutually exclusive variants, with a real Bitcoin Core manifest and corrected install conflict handling.
+- IndeeHub now launches only on direct web UI port `7778`; the broken `/app/indeedhub/` path proxy was removed, and port `7777` remains the Nostr relay.
+- BTCPay/NBXplorer Postgres environment formatting fixed so installs do not carry malformed connection strings.
+
+## v1.7.48-alpha (2026-04-29)
+
+- archipelago.service no longer fails to start with "Failed to set up mount namespacing: /run/containers: No such file or directory" on nodes where /run/containers wasn't pre-created. ExecStartPre now creates it. Existing nodes need a one-time `systemctl edit archipelago` to add the mkdir; ISO installs from this version forward have the fix baked in.
+
+## v1.7.47-alpha (2026-04-29)
+
+- Bitcoin Knots/Core sync is now significantly faster. The container now uses every available core for script verification (was capped at 2) and has 8GB of memory instead of 4GB so its 4GB UTXO cache has headroom for the mempool and peer connections. Existing nodes pick up the new limits on next install/update; freshly-installed nodes start at full speed.
+- ElectrumX initial indexing is faster too. Its CPU cap is removed, container memory is 4GB, and its internal cache is now 3GB (default was 1.2GB).
+
+## v1.7.46-alpha (2026-04-29)
+
+- Health monitor no longer pages "Auto-restart failed" for orphaned containers. After a variant switch (bitcoin-core ↔ bitcoin-knots) the previous variant's container could survive uninstall and the health monitor would try restarting it forever. Now skipped silently with a debug log.
+- Apps no longer disappear from My Apps when an install fails. The card stays visible with state=Stopped so the user can retry or uninstall, with the failure reason surfaced via the new install_progress.message field.
+- "Downloading…" progress now actually advances during multi-image stack pulls. Was sticking at 20% until all pulls finished; now interpolates 20%→70% based on which image of N has landed.
+- Pulled four docker.io images (bitcoin, gitea, nextcloud, valkey) into the lfg2025 registries on OVH and tx1138. Removes a docker.io dependency from first-boot installs.
+- Resilience harness improvements: install-fail entries no longer vanish, install/uninstall/probe cells are timing-tolerant (60s retry on ui_probe and auth_probe), dep snapshots no longer leak companion containers into the dependent app's "new containers" set.
+
+## v1.7.45-alpha (2026-04-29)
+
+- Bitcoin RPC auth is durable. The dashboard reliably connects across container restart, image update, and reboot. Was failing on registry-pulled images that shipped a stale baked-in password.
+- Multi-container apps show real install progress. IndeedHub (7), BTCPay (4), Mempool (3), Immich (3) — bar advances through Preparing → Pulling → Creating → Done instead of sitting at 0% until the very end.
+- Apps no longer disappear from the dashboard mid-install. The container scanner now respects in-flight installs and updates instead of evicting an entry while its containers are still being created.
+- IndeedHub installs cleanly on a fresh node. Five missing environment variables fixed; Nostr sign-in works on first install.
+- Tailscale install no longer fails with "executable not found". Container command was a malformed shell string; now a proper command array.
+- Removed three catalog entries that hung installs for ten minutes (dwn, endurain, ollama — no source images in our registries). Restored Nextcloud, sourced from docker.io.
+- Bitcoin Core update path uses the correct image name (was pulling from a non-existent path).
+- New ISO installs now allocate swap (sized to RAM, capped at 8GB, on the encrypted data partition). Without swap, container image builds and memory spikes were hitting OOM under load.
+
+## v1.7.44-alpha (2026-04-28)

-## 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

-```
-
-**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.
