  "changelog": [
    "**Cuprate now syncs without burning a core for days.** The app's shipped config now enables Cuprate's checkpoint-backed `fast_sync` path, raises the database cache to 8 GiB, and gives the container a 10 GiB memory limit so the cache has real headroom. A live comparison that motivated the change saw the affected node sit around 45% CPU while the corrected config held near low single digits at the same chain height and block rate. The restricted RPC remains fronted through the safe app gate/Tor path.",
    "**OpenWrt Gateway setup is documented from a real install, and two setup bugs are fixed.** The new guide walks a node operator through flashing a GL.iNet AX3000 to stock OpenWrt, pairing it with Archipelago, and installing TollGate pay-as-you-go WiFi. The installer now finds `opkg`/`apk` through the router's actual `PATH` instead of assuming `/usr/bin`, the UI no longer sends an empty password over a saved router connection, and the pinned TollGate package moves to `v0.5.0` with a native `.apk` install path where upstream provides one.",
    "**Release publishing now checks the public Gitea download links before a manifest goes live.** The publisher already fetched every artifact back and verified its size and SHA-256; this release adds a second guard for the release page itself, so a bad Gitea `ROOT_URL` or proxy setting cannot publish working files behind broken public HTTPS download links."
