Dorian 00a70c6193 fix: RC feedback round 2 — kiosk staleness, LND icon+retry, mesh detection surfacing
Kiosk (backgrounds + FIPS mismatch, one root cause each):
- kiosk service now also waits for the web-ui asset swap (probes a large
  bg asset, bounded 60s) — it launched mid-rsync and CSS background 404s
  are never refetched, hence blank backgrounds on first boot
- FipsNetworkCard polls every 15s instead of fetching once on mount
- PWA updates auto-apply on the kiosk (localStorage kiosk flag) — an
  unattended kiosk could never click 'Update Now' and ran stale bundles

LND App Store:
- catalog icon pointed at lnd.svg which doesn't exist (lnd.png does);
  store card also retries the sibling extension before the placeholder
- image pulls retry once after fast transient failures (<30s) — fresh
  first-boot networks reset connections; slow failures aren't retried
  so the UI never waits longer than before

Mesh detection:
- mesh.status now always reports device_present + detected_devices
  (previously only when the service wasn't running, so the UI couldn't
  tell 'no radio' from 'radio present, session connecting')
- Mesh page shows 'Mesh device detected' badge + 'Device detected —
  connecting' status for present-but-not-connected radios
- the 99-mesh-radio.rules udev rule was never staged into the ISO tree
  (installer searched for it and found nothing) — ship it at the media
  root and install it from install-to-disk.sh too

Archived ISO build recipes

These scripts built the Archipelago auto-installer ISO (bundled and unbundled variants). As of v1.7.43-alpha, ISOs are no longer part of the release deliverable. Releases ship as tarballs consumed by scripts/self-update.sh on existing nodes.

Archived here rather than deleted so they can be resurrected if ISO distribution is reintroduced.

Contents

  • build-auto-installer-iso.sh — orchestrator, bundles container images into squashfs
  • build-unbundled-iso.sh — thin wrapper that sets BUNDLE_IMAGES=0 and delegates
  • test-iso-qemu.sh — smoke-tests a built ISO under QEMU
  • scripts/convert-iso-to-disk.sh — converts an ISO to a raw disk image
  • BUILD-ISO-STATUS.md, ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md — contributor guides
  • branding/isohdpfx.bin — isolinux MBR hybrid image
  • .gitea-workflows/build-iso-dev.yml — CI workflow that ran the build+smoke-test

To resurrect

  1. git mv image-recipe/_archived/* image-recipe/ (adjust paths back)
  2. Restore .gitea/workflows/build-iso-dev.yml
  3. Re-add release-process references (see scripts/create-release.sh, docs/BETA-RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md, docs/hotfix-process.md, README.md).

Why archived

The release flow is simpler and faster as tarball-only:

  • releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago (backend binary)
  • releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago-frontend-X.Y.Z-alpha.tar.gz (frontend + AIUI + filebrowser UI assets)
  • releases/manifest.json (pointers + changelog)

Nodes pull these via scripts/self-update.sh from either Gitea mirror. Filebrowser and AIUI remain bundled inside the frontend tarball and deployed atomically by self-update.sh.
