Six code paths configured the Lightning gateway with a bcrypt hash committed
to this repository — and one deploy path with a plaintext password literal —
whenever the per-install secret was missing. Anyone holding a copy of the repo
held the admin credential for every gateway that ever took a fallback.
container::secrets now owns the credential end to end: ensure_gateway_credential
(idempotent, delegates to ensure_one's bcrypt arm) and gateway_bcrypt_hash,
which returns Err when the secret is missing/empty and when the stored value is
on the KNOWN_DEFAULT_GATEWAY_HASHES denylist — so this codebase cannot hand
back the compromised value even to a node already carrying it.
get_app_config was widened to Result so a credential-less install cannot reach
podman run at all; configure_fedimint_lnd takes the resolved hash instead of
re-reading with its own fallback. The four shell paths stop generating
credentials entirely (dropping the htpasswd host dependency) and skip container
creation with a printed reason rather than substituting anything.
Naming converges on the manifest's fedimint-gateway-hash/.pw, with legacy
fedimint-gateway-password values copied forward rather than regenerated so no
node loses a working unique credential. Plan 01-16 owns rotation of installs
already carrying the default.
Verified: cargo build clean; cargo test -p archipelago 999 passed (2
boot_reconciler timing tests failed under concurrent load, green in isolation,
untouched by this diff); bash -n clean on all five scripts; the compromised
literal now appears exactly once in the tree, as the denylist.
