The manifest bound cuprated's unrestricted RPC (full node control) to 0.0.0.0 inside the container with i_know_what_im_doing_allow_public_unrestricted_rpc = true, relying on ports[].bind: 127.0.0.1 to keep it private. That only restricts the HOST side. Verified live on archi-dev-box 2026-08-22: a peer container got a valid unauthenticated get_info off container port 18081 — and still did after cuprate was moved to its own network, because podman bridges route to each other unless created with --opt isolate=true, which the orchestrator's auto-create does not pass. Every app on the node could therefore drive full node control with no credential. The PR justified this as the pattern bitcoin-knots already uses, but knots writes rpcuser/rpcpassword from generated secrets, so a 0.0.0.0 bind there still is not control without credentials. cuprated has no RPC authentication at all, so the two are not equivalent. Unrestricted RPC is now left at cuprated's own default — container loopback only, published nowhere, reachable by nothing — which is what upstream intends by refusing a non-local bind without an explicit override. Restricted RPC (the safe-for-public subset wallets use) and p2p are unchanged, and health_check moves to 18089 since 18184 is gone. Re-verified after the change: peer container gets connection refused on 18081 (exit 7), restricted RPC and the health endpoint still answer, the node still syncs, validator APPROVED, 76/76 container tests pass including the unauthenticated-port canary (still 28 — an auth: local port was removed, not an auth: none one).
