CPU profile evidence (CDP Profiler + Tracing, additive neode-ui/e2e/perf/profile-revisit.spec.ts, frozen harness untouched) shows 86-99% of every revisit window spent in (idle)/(program) with under 10% genuine app JS self-time on every surface — ruling out expensive computed re-evaluation, watcher cascades, and whole-subtree re-renders as the dominant cost, per the plan's own explicit list of hypotheses to check before accepting one. A follow-up source-level lifecycle audit (grep every setInterval call site for a missing onActivated/onDeactivated pair, extending 02-04's own audit convention past the top-level view files it originally checked) found three child components/composables inside the KeepAlive'd Fleet/Server/Web5 subtrees that arm a poll in onMounted and only ever clear it in onUnmounted — harmless before phase 2 (the view was destroyed on tab-away) and now a permanent, session-long background-RPC cost once KeepAlive keeps the parent instance alive: useFleetData.ts (60s), FipsNetworkCard.vue (15s, Server), and Web5Monitoring.vue (30s, Web5 — redundant with Home.vue's own, correctly-gated 10s poll of the same store). This directly explains the idle-dominated CPU signature (background network/scheduling contention, not compute) and why 02-10's 5-run remeasure regressed further than the 3-run baseline/after runs even as disk pressure eased: a longer session accumulates more of these always-on pollers, degrading every subsequent navigation.

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.
Start with:
- 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.
