feat(ecash): the wallet can now be restored from a phrase (NUT-13)
Until now every Cashu proof this node held was backed by a secret drawn
from OsRng and written to exactly one file. Losing wallet/ecash.json
lost the coins outright — no phrase to write down, and nothing the mint
could do about it. Ecash is a bearer instrument, so "one file, no
backup" was the sharpest edge in the wallet.

NUT-13 derives each proof's secret and blinding factor from (seed,
keyset id, counter) instead. The wallet becomes a phrase, and the coins
can be re-derived and re-claimed — here or in any other NUT-13 wallet.

The phrase is its own 24 words, derived from the node master seed over a
fixed HKDF path. Both halves matter: it is still covered by the node's
recovery phrase, so there is nothing extra to write down; but it is
portable, so restoring ecash into Minibits or cdk-cli does not mean
handing over the key to the entire node.

It sits on disk unencrypted, deliberately. The master seed needs the
operator's password to open, which no background mint or swap can ask
for; and this file lives beside wallet/ecash.json, which already holds
spendable bearer secrets in plaintext. It regenerates exactly those
secrets, so it is the same sensitivity class as the file next to it.
0600, like identity/nostr_secret, which is derived and persisted the
same way.

Counters are reserved *before* the mint call and never rolled back. A
gap costs a restore scan a few extra probes; a reused counter costs a
coin, because two proofs with the same secret can only be spent once.

Restore is the half that cannot be done offline: a re-derived secret is
not money until the mint's signature over it exists. /v1/restore returns
those signatures; unblinding reconstitutes the proofs. It is additive
and idempotent — coins already held are skipped by secret, spent ones
are counted but not added — so it is safe to press on a working wallet,
which is when someone is most likely to reach for it.

Existing nodes activate on the first visit to Settings → Ecash backup
phrase: that password prompt is the only moment the master seed can
legitimately be opened. New nodes get it at onboarding. Until then the
behaviour is exactly as before — valid proofs, no backup — and the card
says so rather than implying a backup already exists.

Archipelago Web UI

Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS + Pinia

The web interface for Archipelago — a self-sovereign Bitcoin Node OS.

Quick Start

cd neode-ui
npm install
npm start

Visit http://localhost:8100 — login with password: password123

This starts:

  • Mock backend on port 5959 (no Docker required)
  • Vite dev server on port 8100 with HMR

Stop with npm stop.

Dev Modes

The mock backend supports multiple startup modes via VITE_DEV_MODE:

Mode Command Behavior
default npm start Fully set up, login screen
existing VITE_DEV_MODE=existing npm run dev:mock Same as default
setup VITE_DEV_MODE=setup npm run dev:mock First-time password setup flow
onboarding VITE_DEV_MODE=onboarding npm run dev:mock Post-setup onboarding flow
boot npm run dev:boot 25s simulated boot sequence

Mock Backend

The mock backend (mock-backend.js) simulates the full Rust backend for local development:

Pre-installed apps (always visible in My Apps):

  • Bitcoin Core, LND, Electrs, Mempool, FileBrowser, LoraBell, Fedimint

Marketplace: 30+ curated apps with Docker images, install/uninstall simulation

Features simulated:

  • Authentication (login, password change, TOTP 2FA)
  • System metrics (CPU, memory, disk — randomized for realism)
  • Node identity (DID, Nostr pubkey, Tor address)
  • Federation (3 mock nodes with apps, metrics, trust levels)
  • Mesh networking (4 LoRa peers, encrypted messaging, invoices)
  • Peer-to-peer messaging
  • FileBrowser API (mock file system with Music, Documents, Photos, Videos)
  • DWN sync status
  • Transport layer (mesh/LAN/Tor routing)
  • Notifications (5 realistic entries)
  • Claude AI chat proxy (requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)

Container runtime: If Docker/Podman is available, the mock backend will run real containers for installed apps. Otherwise, it simulates them.

Demo Deployment (Portainer)

Deploy the demo via Docker Compose for showcasing:

docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml build
docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml up -d

Or deploy through Portainer Stacks:

  1. Stacks > Add stack > name: archy-demo
  2. Web editor: paste docker-compose.demo.yml contents
  3. Add environment variable: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (for Claude chat)
  4. Deploy

Access at http://your-host:4848 — password: password123

Development Commands

npm start              # Start mock backend + Vite (recommended)
npm stop               # Stop all servers
npm run dev:mock       # Same as start, without port cleanup
npm run dev:boot       # Boot mode (simulated startup delay)
npm run backend:mock   # Mock backend only
npm run dev            # Vite only (needs backend running separately)
npm run dev:real       # Vite with real Rust backend

npm run build          # Production build (outputs to ../web/dist/neode-ui/)
npm run build:docker   # Build for Docker (no type checking)
npm run type-check     # TypeScript type checking
npm test               # Run tests

Design System

Glass Classes

Class Use
.glass-card Content containers, modals, panels
.glass-button ALL buttons (primary and secondary)
.path-option-card Interactive cards with hover lift
.info-card Status badges, metric displays

Tokens

  • Font: Avenir Next (primary), Montserrat (font-archipelago)
  • Glass: bg: rgba(0,0,0,0.60), blur: 24px, border: rgba(255,255,255,0.22)
  • Accent: #fb923c (Bitcoin orange), #4ade80 (green), #ef4444 (red)
  • Text: rgba(255,255,255,0.9) primary, rgba(255,255,255,0.6) muted

Rules

  • Global CSS classes in style.css only — never inline Tailwind in components
  • .gradient-button is banned — use .glass-button
  • All components use <script setup lang="ts">

API

import { rpcClient } from '@/api/rpc-client'

await rpcClient.login('password')
await rpcClient.startPackage('bitcoin')
const metrics = await rpcClient.getMetrics()

State management via Pinia stores. WebSocket patches applied automatically.

Build Output

  • Dev build: ../web/dist/neode-ui/
  • Docker build: dist/ (deployed to nginx)
