The catalog's default version was {"version": "latest", image:
bitcoin-knots:29.3.knots20260508, default: true}, so a fresh install — or
anyone selecting "latest" — silently got the BIP110/RDTS build. Meanwhile
the manifest's own :latest tag resolves to 29.3.knots20260210 in the
registry, so the two paths installed different daemons.
That matters because 20260508 does not merely enable RDTS, it HALTS until
an operator sets consensusrules=rdts. Node 100.64.204.114 runs it and is
frozen at block 961,692 — blocks AND headers static across 30s, 11 peers,
unpruned — while reporting initialblockdownload=false and
verificationprogress 0.99998, i.e. "synced". The two nodes on 20260210 sit
at the tip, 961,706. Re-pointing a tag could have done that to every node
at once.
Pinned in all three places that would otherwise re-introduce a moving tag:
the manifest, image-versions.sh, and the catalog VERSIONS table. The
"latest" pseudo-version is removed outright — a moving default is not
appropriate for a consensus-critical app — and the default is now the
explicit non-RDTS 29.3.knots20260210. 20260508 remains selectable, so
adopting RDTS stays possible but becomes deliberate.
Verified: both tags' daemons read via `bitcoind --version` — :latest and
:29.3.knots20260210 are both v29.3.knots20260210, so this pin is
behaviour-neutral on nodes already running latest.
NOT DONE HERE: releases/app-catalog.json still carries the old signed
entry. It must be regenerated and re-signed by the operator before it
takes effect — catalog entries override on-disk manifests (origin-wins).
