Cmd/Ctrl+K search could only match text against known screens; anything it did not recognise dead-ended at 'No results'. That text is now handed to the assistant instead: a blue accented row (chat-bubble + sparkle) appears while there is a query, always last in the keyboard order, so Cmd+K -> type -> Enter reaches AIUI without the mouse. On a zero-match query it is the only option. The prompt travels by postMessage, NOT as an iframe URL param. Chat.vue's aiuiUrl is deliberately free of reactive dependencies so the iframe src stays byte-identical and AIUI survives a tab switch (see the D14_FLAGS comment); threading the question through the URL would reload AIUI and discard the conversation on every ask — the opposite of the intent. Two regression tests pin this: the src is byte-identical across an ask, and ask/askedAt are stripped afterwards so a refresh cannot silently re-ask. The ask is queued and flushed on AIUI's 'ready' handshake, because arriving from Cmd+K on a cold Chat tab means the iframe has not connected yet. AIUI-side receiver lands separately; until then this posts a message AIUI ignores, which is inert rather than broken. 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.
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.
