Every claim cites 02-PERF-BASELINE.json (archi-dev-box, real hardware).
13/15 surfaces measured cleanly; Mesh and Chat recorded as unmeasured with
reasons, never as already-fast.
Key findings:
- 4 main tabs (Home, Apps, Cloud, Fleet) measure already fast — left alone
per D-02, KeepAlive wrapping only, no data-cache conversion.
- Marketplace is the worst main tab (2033ms revisit) and the tracer pick
for 02-02, matching the user's own complaint ("often app store").
- No surface shows a serial-RPC-waterfall signature (maxConcurrentRpc is
at or near each surface's total call count everywhere multiple calls
were observed) — corrects RESEARCH.md's one "confirmed" waterfall
target, ContainerAppDetails.vue, which this session's grep confirms is
fully unreachable dead code (no importer, no route entry). D-13's
parallelization pattern has no live target in this phase's D-09 set.
- Flagged a measurement confound: 3 rows (Marketplace, MarketplaceApp-
Details, OpenWrtGateway) reach their target via a navSteps chain that
transits another main tab first, so some of their captured RPC calls are
that intermediate tab's own onMounted burst, not the destination's.
Classified conservatively (remount storm, not uncached fetch) with the
confound spelled out for 02-02/02-03 to re-verify before assuming.
- Wallet-send's revisit (2607ms) is consistently slower than its first
visit (735ms) across all 3 runs despite zero RPC either time — flagged
as an anomaly for 02-03 to profile directly, not hidden.
This is the last commit in this plan — the gate 02-02 through 02-08 depend
on before any neode-ui/src change lands (git diff --name-only HEAD~2..HEAD
-- neode-ui/src is empty across all three of this plan's commits).

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.
