An OTA updates the binary and web assets — not /etc/nginx, and not
/opt/archipelago/scripts. Auditing the 2026-08-09 fixes' delivery paths
found two that would silently reach nobody already installed:
- scripts/tor-helper.sh (reset-failed + truthful restart result) shipped
only via ISO builds and manual deploys. Now embedded via include_str!
like the doctor script, staged and installed at boot when the on-disk
copy differs.
- The /app/mempool/ nginx Upgrade/Connection headers existed only in repo
snippet sources consumed at image build time. A boot repair now
idempotently patches any mempool location block missing them — in the
live vhost (archipelago-http, the one sites-enabled actually links to),
the legacy file, and the installed snippet — and reloads nginx once.
Without this, every fleet node's mempool UI keeps loading-but-never-
connecting after the OTA that supposedly fixed it.
Both are non-fatal boot repairs in the existing bootstrap chain, no-ops
when everything is already current.
