 ## App Integration Checklist
 
-When adding or fixing apps:
+When adding or fixing apps, **every file below must be checked**. Missing any one causes failures on fresh installs.
 
-1. Test the app UI loads on its configured port
-2. Auto-connect dependencies (Bitcoin RPC, LND, etc.) — apps must work out of the box
-3. Ensure `get_app_config()` in `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc.rs` has correct env vars
-4. Most apps launch in iframe; BTCPay (23000) and Home Assistant (8123) open in new tab (X-Frame-Options)
+### Backend (Rust)
+
+- [ ] `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package.rs` — `get_app_config()`: ports, volumes, env vars, custom args
+- [ ] `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package.rs` — `needs_archy_net`: add if app needs container DNS
+- [ ] `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package.rs` — `get_app_capabilities()`: add required caps (CHOWN, etc.)
+- [ ] `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package.rs` — dependency checks (e.g., electrs requires bitcoin)
+- [ ] `core/archipelago/src/container/docker_packages.rs` — `get_app_metadata()`: title, description, icon, repo
+- [ ] `core/archipelago/src/container/docker_packages.rs` — UI address mapping (e.g., `http://localhost:50002`)
+
+### Frontend (Vue)
+
+- [ ] `neode-ui/src/views/Marketplace.vue` — `getCuratedAppList()`: marketplace entry with dockerImage
+- [ ] `neode-ui/src/stores/appLauncher.ts` — port-to-proxy mapping (if app has custom UI port)
+- [ ] `neode-ui/src/views/AppDetails.vue` — route ID mapping (if app ID differs from container name)
+
+### Nginx
+
+- [ ] `image-recipe/configs/nginx-archipelago.conf` — `/app/{id}/` proxy in HTTP block
+- [ ] `image-recipe/configs/snippets/archipelago-https-app-proxies.conf` — `/app/{id}/` proxy in HTTPS block
+- [ ] Any custom status endpoints (e.g., `/electrs-status`) proxied before the SPA catch-all
+
+### Deploy & First Boot
+
+- [ ] `scripts/deploy-to-target.sh` — container creation/update logic
+- [ ] `scripts/first-boot-containers.sh` — container created on fresh ISO install
+- [ ] Custom UI containers (e.g., electrs-ui): built and started in both deploy and first-boot
+
+### ISO Build
+
+- [ ] `image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh` — `CAPTURE_PATTERNS`: image captured from live server
+- [ ] `image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh` — `CONTAINER_IMAGES`: fallback image pulled from registry
+- [ ] `image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh` — docker UI source files bundled for build fallback
+- [ ] `image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh` — installer copies files to target disk
+
+### Runtime Verification
+
+- [ ] Test the app UI loads on its configured port
+- [ ] Auto-connect dependencies (Bitcoin RPC, LND, etc.) — apps must work out of the box
+- [ ] Most apps launch in iframe; BTCPay (23000) and Home Assistant (8123) open in new tab (X-Frame-Options)
