+# External access and website publishing
+
+Approved on 2026-10-08. Worktree: `archy-external-access`; branch:
+`work/external-access-websites`; base: `c57119e9`. The release checkout,
+services, build directories, artifacts and publication refs are not work areas.
+
+## Product contract
+
+Setup offers Allow external connections and Publish a website. Both use node-owned
+connection state. Each app or site can select FIPS, public HTTPS, Tor, and (static
+sites only) Nostr publication together. Each route has independent status and
+revocation. Configured, locally available, and externally verified are different
+states. Never infer public reachability from a saved record or running daemon.
+
+Reuse existing FIPS IPv6 ingress, AppGate and IPv4 loopback backends. Never widen
+container bindings as a blanket IPv6 migration. Preserve local-only APIs and
+wallet/admin exclusion policies. Existing routes are not adopted or revoked
+without an explicit ownership handoff. Private route success does not satisfy a
+public website's prerequisite. Removing one publication must retain shared routes.
+
+All required components are open source and self-hostable. No Tailscale or
+proprietary control-plane dependency. Public routing uses frp with TLS terminating
+on the node; gateways are selectable and replaceable. DNS and gateways remain
+operator dependencies, even when their software is open source.
+
+Consider Nostr first wherever an existing standard fits: FIPS identity/discovery,
+NIP-5A/nsyte/Blossom for optional static-site replication, existing signing flows,
+and ngit contribution/review. Public announcements and replication require an
+explicit choice. Keys and infrastructure credentials never enter model context.
+
+Mynymbox is an optional external Bitcoin/Lightning domain checkout. Explain its
+registrant-of-record model. Generate exact DNS record instructions for the chosen
+route; support existing domains and free addresses. Preserve mail records and
+verify authoritative DNS, hostname routing, TLS and external HTTP independently.
+FIPS/onion addresses do not require a purchased domain. No automatic purchases.
+
+AIUI creates node-owned static website projects with isolated previews, revisions,
+download, publish, rollback and unpublish. Local/open model operation is supported;
+no silent fallback to a proprietary model. A published website has a separate
+origin from management and cannot receive dashboard cookies, signing authority or
+RPC access. Public copies may survive unpublishing from Nostr/Blossom.
+
+The user also requested removal of the File Browser Setup card because the app
+is already bundled in the ISO. Keep the installed app and launcher unchanged.
+
+## Implementation and acceptance ledger
+
+- [x] Isolated worktree and branch created.
+- [ ] Persistent, versioned project and multi-route configuration; conflict-safe writes.
+- [ ] Both Setup entry points and shared connection readiness.
+- [ ] DNS guidance with Mynymbox handoff and correct per-route records.
+- [ ] Static site workspace, local model generation, isolated preview and version history.
+- [ ] FIPS publication and revocation through owned listeners/policies.
+- [ ] Public HTTPS/frp configuration, scoped enrollment and node TLS lifecycle.
+- [ ] Tor publication preserving service identity through restart.
+- [ ] NIP-5A signing and Blossom replication with explicit consent and pinned versions.
+- [ ] Per-app restricted access without sharing administrator credentials.
+- [ ] External verification, certificate renewal, restarts, rollback and route isolation.
+- [ ] Framework acceptance with confirmed identity, access and release coordination.
+- [ ] ngit review and exact accepted-commit mirror parity before any release.
+
+The user authorized Framework as a test node if deployment is needed. Access and
+current release-agent reservation must be confirmed before live work. Preserve all
+wallet/channel/app data. Source tests are not node acceptance. Backend unit tests
+run only through `scripts/test-backend-isolated.sh`; use a worktree-local target.
+
+## Development evidence (2026-10-08, not release acceptance)
+
+The isolated branch now contains versioned node-owned projects, multi-route
+preferences, both Setup screens, local Ollama draft generation, sandboxed static
+previews, revision restore and FIPS-only static publication/revocation. AIUI can
+hand HTML to Setup for explicit import. Public HTTPS, Tor and Nostr adapters and
+per-app grants remain outstanding; selecting a route does not enable it.
+
+The File Browser Setup card has been removed as requested. Its catalog entry and
+launcher remain intact. No installed applications were changed.
+
+The backend compilation passed, including the supervisor snapshot repair. Eleven focused backend tests passed
+through the isolated runner, including the actual publishing and FIPS interface
+modules. The initial frontend typecheck and six publishing tests passed. Later
+AIUI handoff checks subsequently passed: AIUI typechecking, dashboard typechecking,
+and 30 bridge/import tests, including rejection of messages from another frame or
+origin. The earlier combined dashboard run passed 52 tests. These are source
+checks, not full application deployment acceptance.
+
+Framework access and availability were confirmed by the operator. Read-only SSH
+inspection identified framework-pt and its installed FIPS 0.4.1. Yaya access was
+also confirmed; its reverse proxy has the existing archipelago.builders route.
+The operator subsequently confirmed Yaya is free and explicitly authorized a
+separate test route. The standalone production publisher driver ran on Framework
+under `archy-publishing-smoke.service`, using only
+`/home/archipelago/publishing-smoke`. The main backend was not replaced or
+restarted. No wallet, channel, application data or DNS settings were changed.
+
+Live checks completed:
+
+- Two temporary static sites used FIPS ports 32000 and 32001. Yaya fetched the
+  first over FIPS with HTTP 200 and the restrictive CSP intact.
+- Restarting only the test publisher retained the sites. Unpublishing the first
+  closed its listener and removed its rule while the second still returned 200.
+- Temporarily removing the test state file closed the second listener and removed
+  its allowance. Restoring the file restored the publication. This validates the
+  repaired stale-snapshot failure case.
+- NPM proxy host 9 routed only `free.archipelago.builders` to Framework's second
+  FIPS site. Certificate 16 was issued successfully. Public HTTPS returned the
+  expected page with normal certificate verification; `/rpc` returned 404 and
+  `/../../etc/passwd` was rejected with 400.
+- Unpublishing the remaining site left no website allowances or listeners. The
+  proxy request timed out without returning the old page (not a claimed 404 or
+  verified friendly error page).
+- The temporary publisher was stopped; its empty owned firewall drop-in was
+  removed and the FIPS baseline reapplied. Framework's main backend remained
+  active. Test proxy host 9 was deleted; certificate cleanup is checked separately.
+
+This proves the static serving module and the existing-proxy/FIPS path. It does
+not prove dashboard RPC integration on Framework, full-node reboot recovery,
+certificate renewal, automated gateway enrollment, Tor or Nostr publishing. The
+test HTTPS setup terminated TLS at the operator's proxy; end-to-node TLS for a
+new frp gateway is still separate outstanding work.
+
+## Research links
+
+- FIPS master `57bc5108f708258c67dfc713e98e6bbb5a828e95` (2026-10-07), latest release
+  v0.5.2: https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips . Gateway forwards accept IPv6 targets;
+  Archipelago already has a separate FIPS-to-IPv4 relay and an IPv6-capable AppGate.

+
+## Tor website adapter
+
+Website publication uses a dedicated child Tor process with `SocksPort 0` and
+`ControlPort 0`, explicit owned configuration, and 0700 identity/runtime directories
+under `publishing/onions`. It does not regenerate app Tor configuration or restart
+the system Tor daemon. Each onion forwards only to its own static listener on
+127.0.0.1:32100–32131. Removing a website closes that listener before reloading
+this owned process; the other onions and all private keys are retained. The
+process exits when there are no published onion websites. No key wipe is part of
+unpublishing. The UI distinguishes having an onion address from verified external
+reachability.
+
+A standalone candidate on Framework served the second temporary onion to Yaya's
+Tor client with HTTP 200 and the expected CSP. After unpublishing the first onion,
+the second still returned 200. Republishing the first retained its hostname; a
+publisher restart also retained that hostname. The existing system Tor process
+remained PID 1449 throughout these checks. A fresh external fetch after restart
+and final cleanup are recorded below when complete.
+
+Source validation now includes per-transport revoke isolation, Tor configuration
+path/port constraints and shared connection preferences. All 12 isolated backend
+tests passed; the latest selected frontend run passed 36 tests and typechecking.
+The AIUI package typecheck passed separately. The final integrated backend check
+passed. NPM test certificate 16 was successfully deleted after proxy
+host 9; no test proxy remains on Yaya.
+
+The fresh external fetch of the first onion after republish and publisher restart
+returned HTTP 200 with the original hostname and expected page. Both test onions
+were then unpublished and the smoke unit stopped. Only system Tor PID 1449
+remained; no website listeners or owned FIPS drop-in remained. Both onion identity
+directories were preserved. The final state-directory durability change passed
+the 12-test isolated backend suite as well.
