# Work requested after 1.9.0-alpha
Status: queued by the operator on 2026-10-05. Complete the current release first;
these requests do not silently expand its artifact scope. No implementation or
acceptance is claimed by this backlog.
## 1. Distributed IndeeHub publishing and paid viewing
- Recover and reconcile the earlier design in
[the streaming plan](phase4-streaming-ecash-plan.md) and
[the distribution design](dht-distribution-design.md) against current source.
Their implementation/status statements are historical, not fresh evidence.
- Review current primary Nostr, Cashu and Bitcoin/Lightning specifications before
selecting the protocol. Distinguish interoperable standards from custom events.
- Publishing through one instance's Backstage must make the content discoverable
through other instances' **Archipelago** content source. This source is intended
to become the default eventually; do not change the default without qualification.
- Reuse supported node-to-node discovery/transports and the file-payment method
negotiation: show methods the recipient actually accepts. Include Cashu and
Lightning to the automatically provisioned ecash Lightning address from first
use; do not require a producer to operate LND to receive initial payments.
- Pay the producer's wallet, verify settlement before granting access, and make
payment retries/delivery recovery idempotent. Keep producer revenue separate
from any optional hosting/relay bandwidth charges in the older plan.
- Define timed viewing entitlements, start/expiry semantics, reconnect, resume,
seek, device/session scope and clock/error handling. Evaluate encrypted media
and authorized key delivery without claiming that delivered video or keys can
be made impossible to copy or revoked retroactively.
- Use the operator's video uploaded to **Yaya Cloud**, publishing through Backstage
for the demo. Identify the exact file and preserve the source; do not select an
unrelated personal video or publish other Cloud contents. Payment-test amounts
need explicit bounded authorization before real funds are spent.
- Deliver a coherent demo: publish on one node, discover on another, select a
supported payment method, pay producer, watch, resume without repayment, and
enforce expiry. Cover publisher outage, duplicate events, wrong mint, failed/
delayed payment, restart and lost responses. Preserve privacy and access rules.
- Treat this as the foundation for future fully featured node-sharing apps,
introduced and qualified individually.
## 2. IndeeHub native Nostr signer and companion reliability
- Reproduce intermittent native-signer login failure and companion grey screen
requiring refresh/re-login. Inspect both browser and actual Android WebView.
- Cover iframe origins, signing permissions, redirects, callback/session state,
background/resume, expired sessions, refresh and cancellation without weakening
authentication or exporting signing keys. Preserve useful errors and recovery.
- Consult existing signer bridge documentation and prior origin/reload fixes;
do not assume those earlier fixes address this fresh report.
## 3. Node peering and discovery
- Diagnose Yaya ↔ Archy dev: requests appear approved/pending but neither node
appears in the other's peers; the flow is also slow.
- Trace request, delivery, approval, identity, persistence and both-node peer-list
reconciliation. Test restart, retry/duplicates, offline recovery and reciprocal
visibility; distinguish requested, approved, connecting and connected states.
- Show Nostr requests in the appropriate discovery/request UI.
- Rename **Find Nodes** to **Connect with Nodes**, consistently with accessibility,
navigation and translation conventions.
## 4. Framework Monitoring
- Investigate the reported non-working Monitoring screen on Framework with
read-only diagnostics first. Verify actual metrics, loading/error states,
permissions and refresh/reconnect on that node. Preserve wallet/radio state.
## 5. Immich / Nextcloud files in Cloud
- Assess integration so installed Immich/Nextcloud files appear under the correct
Cloud Files categories, without duplicating storage or exposing another user's
private data. Determine supported APIs, user identity/permissions, thumbnails,
originals, virtual paths and large-library pagination/indexing.
- Define view/download/edit/delete semantics per source. Preserve application
ownership, databases, metadata and trash/versioning; do not directly mutate
application-managed storage to bypass its API.
- Test installation/removal, permissions, unavailable apps, overlapping filenames,
duplicate detection and category accuracy before enabling an integration.
## 6. Web5 header and node connection flow planning
- Inspect the top-bar **Wallet** label in Web5. The operator requests removing
this cosmetic label; preserve any actual wallet navigation or accessibility
function until its role is established, and report if it is more than a label.
- Plan a less hidden, clearer discovery and peering journey on mobile and desktop
using the existing design system, visual styles and components. This is a flow
and information-placement change, not a visual redesign.
- Include visible entry to **Connect with Nodes**, incoming/outgoing Nostr
requests, approval, pending/connecting/connected status, reciprocal peer
confirmation, offline/retry recovery, and clear return paths. Show how this
relates to existing peers and node details rather than adding duplicate flows.
- Produce reviewable mobile/desktop flow plans before broad navigation changes;
cover first connection and repeat use, touch/keyboard access, empty/error
states, and the current Yaya/dev approval bug. Keep diagnostic implementation
details out of normal user-facing steps.
