A failed federation sync existed only as a `debug!` line on the node, so a peer that had not synced in days looked identical in the UI to one that synced a minute ago. Now the failure is persisted per peer and rendered. - `FederatedNode.last_sync_error` / `.last_sync_error_at` — the failure-side mirror of the existing `last_transport` / `last_transport_at` pair. - `federation::record_sync_result(data_dir, did, outcome)` — records the message on `Err`, CLEARS both fields on `Ok` so the badge disappears when the peer recovers. Runs under FEDERATION_STORE_LOCK via the `*_inner` load/save convention established by plan 01-01. An unknown DID is a silent Ok that writes nothing, so a peer removed mid-pass is never resurrected by an in-flight sync's error write. Skips the save entirely when nothing changed, keeping the steady state read-only rather than rewriting nodes.json (and contending for the lock) every 90s. - Message truncated to MAX_SYNC_ERROR_CHARS (256), counted in chars not bytes so truncation cannot split a UTF-8 sequence (T-01-18). - The 90s auto-sync loop calls it on both arms; the existing `debug!` line is kept — persisting is additive, not a replacement for logs. - `federation.list-nodes` emits both fields when set, omits them when unset. - NodeList renders a red SYNC badge beside the transport badge on both the trusted-node and peer rows, message + age in the `title` so the row stays single-line. Tests (written first, confirmed failing — 16 compile errors, E0425 on `record_sync_result` and E0609 on `last_sync_error`): - persists_error / success_clears_error / missing_did_is_noop / on_empty_store_is_noop / truncates_long_error - NodeList: badge present when set, ABSENT when unset (the guard against a badge that always renders), and present on an observer peer row. cargo test -p archipelago federation — 42 passed, 0 failed. vitest NodeList.test.ts — 4 passed. npm run build — green.

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.

- Architecture
- Developer Guide

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.
