 # Changelog
 
+## v1.7.66-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Nginx Proxy Manager stale-port repair now detects stopped or `Created` Podman records by inspecting `podman ps -a` port metadata, covering records where `podman port nginx-proxy-manager` returns no mapping until start.
+- Live recovery on `100.70.96.88` removed only the stale Nginx Proxy Manager container record and recreated it with `8081:81`, `8084:80`, and `8444:443`, preserving `/var/lib/archipelago/nginx-proxy-manager` data.
+- Validation confirmed Nginx Proxy Manager recovered as healthy and responds through direct admin port `8081`, host compatibility port `81`, and `/app/nginx-proxy-manager/`.
+
 ## v1.7.65-alpha (2026-05-18)
 
 - Orchestrator-backed app starts now run the same pre-start repairs as the legacy Podman path, so Nginx Proxy Manager stale `81:81` container metadata is removed and recreated before the orchestrator tries to start it.
