Task 3 of plan 10-05, run by the operator over Tailscale on 2026-08-02 using the read-only procedure in KEY-03-SIGNING-POSTURE.md. No escalation: nothing found. Examined and CLEAR (4): archi-dev-box, shorty-s/.228, archy-x250-beta, archy-x250-pa. On every one there is no wallet named `archipelago` — the deleted handler's default wallet_name — `listwallets` returns only the unnamed default, and that default reports blank=true, keypoolsize=0, txcount=0, balance=0. The only named wallets are Fedimint gatewayd-*. The result holds across two container vintages (bitcoin-knots and bitcoin-core), so it is not four copies of one image behaving identically. Not examined (6), recorded with reasons rather than omitted: framework-pt, archipelago-1, archipelago and archy-dev-pa (SSH permission denied — password rotated/not held), archipelago-5 (timed out during banner exchange), and archy-x250-dev (offline). Password auth was deliberately not attempted: several fleet nodes lock PAM quickly on a wrong password, and locking out an in-use production node is a worse outcome than an incomplete census. The conclusion is stated at the strength the evidence supports — no *examined* node holds a wallet the deleted handler created, and no examined node holds any wallet with keys or funds. It is deliberately NOT generalised to "the fleet is clear" while six nodes are unknown. F-13 is closed by deletion regardless: the code that could create such a wallet is gone from every future build. No key material appeared in any output and `listdescriptors true` was never run. Also corrects the now-stale R-04/F-13 entry in UNIFIED-TASK-TRACKER.md, which still described `handle_bitcoin_init_wallet_from_seed` and a watch-only migration as pending work — that code no longer exists. Marks it done-by- deletion and adds the six unchecked nodes as a standing item, flagged as a natural fold-in for KEY-04's on-node work but tracked independently so it does not vanish if KEY-04 is re-scoped.

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

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.
