UNIFIED GRANTS. There were two stores for the same ten categories:
settings/ai_permissions.json (what Settings wrote) and
assistant/grants.json (what actually gates the tool list). Toggling Settings
did nothing for the assistant, so with grants stuck at {"apps","system"} the
model truthfully answered "I don't have a tool for that" no matter what the
operator enabled — the real cause behind "the settings I enable keep
disabling". Their serde forms already matched one-for-one, so this is a
duplicate rather than two concepts. ai.permissions.get/set now read and write
the assistant's grants; the legacy file is still written so a downgrade does
not lose grants, and anything recorded only there is folded in on read.
PEER BROWSE now mirrors Cloud.vue's peer-files fan-out, as the operator asked:
concurrent with a cap and a per-peer timeout, rather than sequential. Cloud
caps at 3 because CHROMIUM's connection pool was starved (02-08) — a browser
constraint the daemon does not share, and measurably wrong here: at 3 a 20s
budget got through 2 batches of 16 peers and reached none. At 8 every peer is
attempted inside the budget.
Measured after deploying: 20.0s, peers_total 16, peers_reached 0. FIPS itself
is healthy (anchor connected, 3 authenticated peers, 4 fips_ok dials) but 14
dials fall back and fail, so the peers are not serving /content. The empty
film list is therefore correct — the transport works and the peers are down.
Reported as partial with counts so the assistant can say so instead of
implying the peers have nothing.

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
- Operations Runbook
- 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.
