assistant/egress.rs: screen_outbound(body, ctx) -> EgressVerdict runs on every request body about to leave this node for a cloud backend. G-B1 scan_secret_shapes checks for macaroon-shaped hex runs, BIP39-length word runs, ecash/Nostr-key-shaped strings, and the literal contents of files under data_dir/secrets — a hit fails closed (BlockFallBackLocal), logging only the match's kind, never the value. G-B2 assert_turn_minimal checks the outbound body against a mechanical allowlist of this turn's own fields (the user's turn, this turn's granted tool names, this turn's own tool results); an unrelated earlier tool result or content wrapped for a different turn is truncated out rather than eyeballed. An unparsable/ambiguous body also fails closed. MAX_OUTBOUND_CONTEXT_CHARS caps body size independent of minimality. Wired into backends/claude.rs's send() before the outbound HTTP request (on a block, send() errors before anything is sent — Rule 3, outside this task's originally-declared file list but structurally required to give screen_outbound a real caller); never wired into ollama.rs — nothing leaves the node on that leg, so paying the scan cost would be pointless. mod.rs: AssistantCounters/OwnerNotice — grant refusals, validation failures, turns-per-request, untrusted-content-present, cloud-escalation-while-local-up, blocked-egress and MAX_TURNS-reached counters, each raising an owner_notice() at its own AI-SPEC §7b threshold. Local and owner-facing only: no exporter, no /metrics, no OTLP anywhere in assistant/ or rate_limit.rs. backends/mod.rs's select_backend raises a cloud-escalation-while-local-up notice when Ollama is reachable but its configured model isn't tool-capable (Rule 3, same file-scope reasoning). 9/9 assistant::egress:: tests pass in this task's own isolated state (Task 1's 56 plus these 9 — ToolExecCtx's counters field and its loop_.rs call sites are Task 3's own commit, since nothing in this task's behavior needs them yet).

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.
Start with:
- Architecture
- Developer Guide
- App Developer Guide
- App Manifest Spec
- Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
- Operations Runbook
- Troubleshooting
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.
