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 Roadmap
_Last updated: 2026-07-08. This is the public-facing summary. The live,
open engineering work is tracked in the public issue tracker._
## North star
A world-class, **developer-ready app platform**: every app manifest-driven,
manifests distributed via a **signed registry**, and third-party developers
publishing through an **external/decentralized marketplace** — all rootless,
secure, robust, and 100%-uptime-capable.
Five pillars every app must satisfy: Quadlet-everywhere · level-triggered
reconciler · lifecycle-bulletproof (full test matrix, repeatedly green) ·
data-driven (no host changes, no per-app binary code) · rootless +
security-first.
## ✅ Shipped
- **Single-node production gate GREEN** (2026-06-23) — the full destructive
lifecycle matrix (install / UI / stop / start / restart / reinstall /
reboot-survive / backend-restart-survive / uninstall) passed 5 consecutive
times with zero failures on real hardware. This was the first exit criterion.
- **Manifest-driven app platform** — 50+ apps as declarative manifests; all
multi-container stacks (BTCPay, Mempool, Immich, NetBird, IndeeHub) install
through the orchestrator; generated-secrets system replaces per-app secret code.
- **Rust orchestrator + level-triggered reconciler** — the bash-script era is
retired; drift self-heals on a 30-second loop.
- **Registry-distributed manifests** — the signed catalog embeds full manifests
per app; nodes verify against the pinned release-root key and overlay
catalog manifests over disk files (catalog wins).
- **Release signing ceremony** (2026-07-02) — release-root Ed25519 key pinned
in the binary; OTA release manifests and the app catalog are signed;
auto-apply refuses unsigned manifests.
- **1.8.0 hardening batches** — supply-chain signature verification, deepened
post-OTA health checks, async-executor and secret-handling fixes, browser
origin checks, dist shrink.
- **Reticulum third mesh transport** — RNS/LXMF over real LoRa hardware
(RNode), interop verified against Sideband; joins Meshtastic and MeshCore
behind one chat UI with X3DH + double-ratchet E2E, attachments, and mesh AI.
- **Bitcoin multi-version** — Core and Knots with per-app version pinning and
safe switching (fleet rollout pending below).
- **Decentralized marketplace backend** — Nostr NIP-78 discovery, DID-signed
manifests, federation-weighted trust scoring, Lightning purchase invoices.
- **Quadlet migration validated** — all backends run as `user.slice` Quadlet
services on the canary node (default flip pending below).
- **Public demo** — multi-visitor sandbox deployed.
## 🔄 In progress
- **Multinode pass** — run the same production gate across the whole test
fleet, plus cross-node federation/mesh suites
([`multinode-testing-plan.md`](multinode-testing-plan.md)). This is the
current exit criterion.
- **Quadlet default flip** — flip the validated Quadlet path from opt-in to
default fleet-wide; eliminates the last container-flapping root cause.
- **Container-flapping elimination** — reconciler churn and failed-unit
self-healing gaps observed on live nodes.
- **Reticulum tail** — ship the daemon binary inside the release tarball;
final fleet redeploys.
## ⏳ Release-blocking for 1.8.0
Tracked in detail in [`1.8.0-RELEASE-HARDENING-PLAN.md`](1.8.0-RELEASE-HARDENING-PLAN.md):
- **OTA upgrade-from-previous-version soak** on real hardware — the top
untested release risk.
- **ISO/image hardening** — per-device TLS/SSH keys on first boot, remove
default credentials and SSH password auth, signed + checksummed ISO,
registries over HTTPS, unattended-upgrades and firewall defaults.
- **Bitcoin multi-version fleet OTA** — code done; rollout timing is a
deliberate hold.
- Version bump to `1.8.0-alpha` + tag once the pre-tag items close.
## 🔭 Planned (post-1.8.0)
- **Developer CLI** — `archy app validate / render / install / test`; the gate
for opening third-party app publishing.
- **External marketplace maturation** — publishing tooling, trust UX, and
reputation surfaces on top of the shipped backend
([`marketplace-protocol.md`](marketplace-protocol.md)).
- **DHT/P2P distribution** — releases and app images over iroh-based swarm
([`dht-distribution-design.md`](dht-distribution-design.md); feature-gated
skeleton exists).
- **P2P encrypted voice/video** over Tor between federated nodes.
- **Dual ecash** — Fedimint + Cashu phases 26, networking-sats
([`dual-ecash-design.md`](dual-ecash-design.md)).
- **Paid streaming** — streaming ecash for content
([`phase4-streaming-ecash-plan.md`](phase4-streaming-ecash-plan.md)).
- **Hardware signer** support ([`hardware-signer-design.md`](hardware-signer-design.md)).
- **Code health** — split god-modules, remove dead crates, route all
podman/systemctl calls through the wrapper.
## Release pipeline
Feature Testing (internal) → User Testing (controlled hardware) → Beta Live (public).
