AIUI asks for the library the same way it asks for content, and the
fetch now actually fires without anyone typing a magic phrase:
- useArchy.ts: requestArchyLibrary(scope) sibling of requestArchyContent
(13-06), same bridge call with kind: 'library', routed through the
existing setArchyContent so the songs bucket fills exactly the way
films already does.
- init() now calls both requestArchyContent('all','own') and
requestArchyLibrary('own') once, fire-and-forget, immediately after
archyBridge.init() — the GAP-FOUND fix. 13-06 built the whole
content:request/content:push machinery and unit-tested it end to end,
but nothing in the live UI ever called it (13-06-SUMMARY.md's Known
Limitations); the fetch is now triggered by a real init-time UI event,
not merely callable.
- useContentPanel.ts's setArchyContent now also opens the panel and
populates availableTabs/activeTab/panelTitle when Archy supplied
non-empty content — previously only the data refs were set while the
tab bar and panelOpen stayed whatever the last regex-driven chat turn
left them, so real content could sit fully populated and still never
render. An empty bundle never force-opens the panel.
Deviation (Rule 2, mirrors 13-06's own archyBridge.ts precedent): kind:
'library' genuinely needs a different node-side RPC (music.list-tracks,
real tag-extracted metadata) than content.* (ContentItem has no artist/
album/duration field at all) — contextBroker.ts's handleContentRequest
gained one branch (fetchLibraryContent) to route it, and
aiui-protocol.ts's AIUIContentRequest.kind union gained the 'library'
literal, and archyBridge.ts's requestArchyContent kind param widened to
match. No second channel, no new message type, no new listener — the
existing content:request/content:push channel and its kind discriminator
carry this exactly as 13-06 designed it to. Full detail in the SUMMARY.
neode-ui: 926/926 tests green, vue-tsc -b clean. aiui: 341/344 (3
pre-existing, documented failures unrelated to this plan — 13-06/13-10
already recorded them), vue-tsc --noEmit clean.
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.

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.
