Four defects found by on-device UAT, 2026-08-06.
1. D-08 persistence was WRITE-ONLY. chat() loaded the transcript only
AFTER the loop, to append — the model was never shown any of it. The
assistant answered "I don't have access to any previous conversation
history" with its own transcript on disk, and "and is it healthy?"
resolved to the node instead of the app just discussed. History now
replays into every turn (text only: a stale tool result must not be
re-presented as this turn's evidence), scoped by HistoryKey. The
replayed prefix is excluded from the append, or each turn would
re-persist the conversation and grow it geometrically.
2. The operator persona forbade the very answers the content surfaces
render. 13-01's prompt refuses anything without a matching tool, so
"recommend me 10 sci-fi films" was declined and the film/song/podcast
grids from 13-11 could never populate — two plans in contradiction.
The refusal rule now governs ACTIONS ON THE NODE; general questions
and recommendations are answered from the model's own knowledge.
(Whether the node should also SEARCH THE WEB depends on AIUI's
web-search setting, which embedded mode never forwards — captured as
a separate todo because it opens a new egress path.)
3. The content-surface loader labelled unrelated queries "Podcast
recommendations": the classifier matched a bare "show", which is how
operators phrase almost everything ("show me my files").
4. "Surfacing…" tracks at 0.2em and its final glyph collided with the
close button; the header now spaces them properly.
assistant::history 9/9 green incl. replay_feeds_prior_turns_back_to_the_model.

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.
