Nodes depended on a single public anchor (185.18.221.160) that is
unreachable from most real networks — confirmed on the thinkpad WiFi and a
fresh Framework node, both of which islanded (is_root=true, depth=0). Its
DNS even resolves IPv6-first while the daemon is IPv4-only.
Stand up an Archipelago-operated FIPS anchor on vps2 (146.59.87.168, the
OTA host every node already reaches) and ship it as an additional default
anchor. default_public_anchor() -> default_public_anchors() -> Vec; load()
returns the set; the apply loop already dials each, so whichever the node's
network can reach wins. Verified end-to-end: a fresh node joined the tree
via vps2 in 3s (depth 1). anchors tests: 7/7 pass.
