CR-01 fixed web5.lnd-info/web5.networking-profits to persist:false, stopping FUTURE writes to sessionStorage, but a tab already open before the update ships reloads in-place onto the new bundle and keeps whatever the OLD bundle already wrote under the old decision — indefinitely, since nothing but clearAll() (logout) ever purges a resource: snapshot. Long-lived tabs (installed PWA, kiosk display) are normal here, so this left updating users exposed to exactly the T-02-01 exposure CR-01 was meant to close. - Add a schema-version marker (resource:__schema) checked once at store setup: absent or stale marker purges every resource:-prefixed sessionStorage key, then writes the current version. One-time per tab session (a matching marker no-ops), not per navigation/reload, so this doesn't defeat the instant-paint-from-snapshot benefit the cache exists for. CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION must be bumped whenever a key's persist decision changes, documented inline as the contract for future changes. - Extract clearAll()'s purge loop into purgeAllSnapshots(), reused by both clearAll() (logout, T-02-02) and the new migration, so there's one place that enumerates/removes resource: keys. - Close the residual refresh()/useCachedResource() default: opts.persist ?? true was the exact footgun that caused CR-01 (a call site silently opting into persistence by omission). persist is now a required parameter on refresh() and useCachedResource()'s options, matching the entry()/optimistic() hardening WR-04 already applied. - Tests: legacy snapshot (no/stale marker) is purged on init; a snapshot under the current marker survives a later init (proves one-time, not every-boot); persist:false never writes a snapshot; marker is written after purge; purge is strictly bounded to the resource: prefix (seeded non-resource: sessionStorage keys and a localStorage auth flag survive byte-for-byte); migration cannot race an in-flight fetch (runs synchronously at store setup, before entries/inflight can hold anything).

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.
