Closes the three exploitable findings from the 2026-07-31 entropy/seed audit. Wave 1 (parallel): - 10-01 KEY-01: shared onboarding gate refuses seed.generate/seed.restore/ seed.save-encrypted/backup.restore-identity/auth.setup on a provisioned node, plus an auth.onboardingComplete guard and retry-budget-derived rate limits. Independently shippable (D-11): no depends_on, no shared files. - 10-03 KEY-02: first-boot secret regeneration retries with backoff then fails closed; rootfs tar ships identity-free so failure degrades to "no key". - 10-05 KEY-03: delete the uncalled bitcoin.init-wallet-from-seed xprv-import path (D-07b); make LND's PSBT round trip first-class with a key-origin report. Wave 2: - 10-02 (deps 10-01) KEY-01/KEY-04: on-node C-6 exposure measurement, live refusal proof, fresh-node onboarding non-regression. - 10-04 (deps 10-03) KEY-02/KEY-04: fleet detection of image-baked host secrets, guarded rotation behind a D-06 decision checkpoint, C-3 two-node verification. Planning-time scoping correction recorded in 10-01: D-03 names NodeIdentity::key_exists as the on-disk "onboarded" signal, but server.rs:63-71 writes a temporary node_key on every boot, so that signal is true on fresh nodes and would brick first-boot onboarding. D-03's dual-signal intent is preserved with is_setup / is_onboarding_complete / seed_exists. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Archipelago
Self-sovereign Bitcoin node OS and manifest-driven app platform.
Archipelago is a bootable personal server OS for Bitcoin infrastructure,
self-hosted apps, mesh communication, decentralized identity, and federation.
Apps are packaged as declarative manifest.yml files and run as rootless
Podman containers managed by the Rust backend.
What is here
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.
Platform model
Archipelago is built as a developer-ready app platform, not a fixed appliance:
- Apps are declared in
apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml. - The Rust parser in
core/container/src/manifest.rsis 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.

- Architecture
- Developer Guide
- App Developer Guide
- App Manifest Spec
- Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
- Operations Runbook
- Troubleshooting
Quick start
Frontend
cd neode-ui
npm install
npm start
The dev UI runs at http://localhost:8100 with a mock backend on :5959.
Backend
cd core
cargo build
cargo test --all-features
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
./scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh apps/filebrowser/manifest.yml
python3 scripts/generate-app-catalog.py
python3 scripts/check-app-catalog-drift.py --release --strict
scripts/generate-app-catalog.py requires Python with PyYAML installed.
