archipelagoandClaude Opus 5 cc00884b98 docs: repair links left dangling by the operations-doc removal
Untracking the ops docs broke every reference to them. Repoints or removes
those references across README, architecture, ROADMAP, the archive index,
lifecycle TESTING, the hardening plan, and the security docs — pointing at
the issue tracker where a live task list was meant, and dropping the entry
entirely where it only existed to link an internal file.

Also fixes two pre-existing broken links found by validating every relative
link in the tracked docs:
- README linked docs/OPEN_SOURCE_READINESS.md, which never existed
  (underscores vs hyphens).
- reticulum-daemon/README.md linked a local Claude session plan at
  ../../.claude/plans/enchanted-strolling-rocket.md — outside the repo, and
  a path that would have shipped publicly pointing at nothing.

All relative links in tracked markdown now resolve: 0 broken.
audit-secrets.sh still 5/5.

# 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.rs` is 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](docs/architecture.md)
- [Developer Guide](docs/developer-guide.md)
- [App Developer Guide](docs/app-developer-guide.md)
- [App Manifest Spec](docs/app-manifest-spec.md)
- [Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan](docs/nostr-git-source-hosting.md)
- [Troubleshooting](docs/troubleshooting.md)
## Quick start
### Frontend
```bash
cd neode-ui
npm install
npm start
```
The dev UI runs at `http://localhost:8100` with a mock backend on `:5959`.
### Backend
```bash
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
```bash
./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.
