`handle_bitcoin_init_wallet_from_seed` derived the BIP-84 account extended *private* key, stringified it, and imported `wpkh(xprv/0/*)` / `wpkh(xprv/1/*)` into a Bitcoin Core descriptor wallet created with `disable_private_keys=false` and an empty passphrase. That put a second copy of the node's spending key in Core's `wallet.dat`, outside the daemon's Argon2 + ChaCha20-Poly1305 envelope. That duplication into weaker protection was audit finding F-13 (High). Deleted rather than rewritten watch-only (D-07b supersedes D-07/D-07a): - No caller anywhere. Repo-wide search leaves exactly one occurrence of the method name (its own dispatcher registration) and two of the symbol in code (definition + dispatch call); every other hit is prose in docs. - LND is the wallet the product drives. Across neode-ui/src every `bitcoin.*` call is read-only status (getinfo/prune-status/onion); the wallet UI sends via `lnd.sendcoins`. - It never ran on archi-dev-box: no wallet named `archipelago` exists there, and the one loaded wallet reports blank=true, keypoolsize=0, txcount=0. - It was authenticated AND password-gated, so F-13 was key-at-rest duplication, not an exposed endpoint. No migration is performed and none is planned. This removes code, not wallets: nothing on disk is touched, no funds move, no wallet.dat is modified. If a node is ever found holding a wallet this handler created, that is a finding to surface and stop on, not a trigger to auto-migrate. `seed::derive_bitcoin_xprv` loses its only non-test caller and is retained deliberately with `#[allow(dead_code)]` and a stated reason: it keeps its existing test coverage and it is the derivation D-07c's deferred BDK cold vault will need. Records the evidence, the D-08/D-09 consequences and the D-07c deferral in docs/security/KEY-03-SIGNING-POSTURE.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

- Architecture
- Developer Guide

- 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.
