Adds core/archipelago/src/api/handler/model_proxy.rs: a Rust-daemon handler
that re-derives session auth from the request's own cookie (does not trust
nginx to have gated it already) before forwarding to Anthropic's Messages
API or local Ollama. Replaces the unauthenticated claude-api-proxy.py
sidecar (port 3142, its own ANTHROPIC_API_KEY copy) that let anyone who
could reach the node's web port spend the owner's API budget
(T-13-08/T-13-09/T-13-11).
- Unauthenticated/invalid-session requests get 401 before any upstream call
- Missing key ledger (data_dir/secrets/claude-api-key) returns 503 with a
plain-language body, never 500, never the key path
- Inbound authorization/x-api-key/cookie headers are never forwarded
upstream (T-13-14) — only content-type/accept survive the round trip
- Response streamed through rather than buffered, matching proxy.rs's
peer-content streaming shape, so token-by-token replies still stream
- No log line at any level references a body or a key (AI-SPEC §7b)
- Wired into api/handler/mod.rs's path dispatch alongside the WebSocket
auth-gated arms, matching the existing is_authenticated idiom
Tests (model_proxy::tests): claude_without_session_is_401,
ollama_without_session_is_401, claude_with_invalid_session_is_401,
missing_key_is_503_not_500, inbound_authorization_header_is_not_forwarded.
`cargo build --package archipelago` succeeds. `cargo test --package
archipelago model_proxy::` was still compiling (test-binary link step) when
this commit was made — see 13-02-SUMMARY.md for the honest status.
Continues WIP checkpoint 13b576da (reset --soft, recommitted atomically
per task per plan protocol).

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
- App 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.
