- Mesh.vue: six useCachedResource entries wrap mesh.refreshAll(), transport.fetchStatus(), refreshFederationNodes(), refreshSelfOnion(), refreshSelfDid() and refreshContacts(), each with an explicit TTL (10s reachability/transport, 30s federation/contacts, 300s self DID/onion) and persist decision (T-02-01: every group carrying peer or self identity data is persist:false; only aggregate transport status may persist) - armMeshLive's Promise.all fan-out becomes a single Promise.allSettled over refreshMeshGroupIfStale() per group, so a revisit inside TTL issues zero RPC, a stale revisit revalidates concurrently (not a serial chain, T-02-16), and one rejected group never blocks the rest - RefreshIndicator wired into the Mesh header, driven by whether any of the six groups is refreshing — visible while peer reachability revalidates on re-entry so a resumed tab never shows a frozen reachability state as current (T-02-13) - dedup: true added to every underlying rpc-client.ts/mesh.ts/ transport.ts fetcher call backing the six groups - useCachedResource() calls live in Mesh.vue rather than inside stores/mesh.ts or stores/transport.ts: Pinia's defineStore(id, setup) runs in a bare effectScope, not a component instance, so the composable's internal onActivated() would silently no-op there; the fetchers still wrap the stores' own actions unchanged, so those actions' other callers (clearAllMesh, setMeshOnly, the pre-send balance check) keep their guaranteed-fresh, uncached reads Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.
