The UI polls wallet.ecash-lnaddress-claim every 8s, but a single poll (auth + /claim + relay fetch + redeem loop) can outlast that interval. Two overlapping claim_and_redeem runs then loaded the same last_dm_seen_at, fetched/redeemed the same claims, and last-writer-wins on save — rewinding the watermark and/or double-redeeming. A double-redeemed or state-loss-replayed claim then failed forever as "already spent" with no way to leave pending_claims, leaving a permanent orange retry banner. - STATE_LOCK (backend) + an in-flight guard (UI) serialize claim polls and the lnaddress registration/token-refresh path, so two callers can't race on minibits.json. - pending_claims now tracks per-claim attempts (PendingClaim, migrating transparently from the old plain-string shape); a claim that fails MAX_CLAIM_ATTEMPTS times is dropped instead of retried forever. - A redeem failure recognized as mint error 11001 (already redeemed) is treated as terminal and dropped immediately — the value was already swept, so retrying it is pointless. ClaimOutcome gains dropped_count so the two drop reasons (harmless vs. real loss) are visible to the caller. - save_state now writes via temp-file + rename instead of truncating minibits.json in place — the exact disk-full failure mode that corrupted this file on archy-x250-pa3, 2026-09-08, could otherwise destroy pending_claims tokens that /claim had already consumed server-side (unrecoverable, unlike relay DMs). - minibits_error no longer panics on a multi-byte UTF-8 boundary when truncating a server error body (was byte-slicing, not char-safe). - register_profile's name-collision check now matches the structured error.name == ALREADY_EXISTS instead of a raw "already" substring, so an unrelated error message doesn't burn a retry attempt.

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.
Start with:
- Architecture
- Developer Guide
- App Developer Guide
- App Manifest Spec
- Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
- Troubleshooting
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.
