Install UX
SystemUpdate.vue now shows a full-screen overlay after apply: the
BitcoinFaceAscii logo, a target-version label, an indeterminate
progress stripe (solid orange; solid green on ready), and an
elapsed-time readout. Polls /health every 1.5s and auto-reloads
once the backend reports the new version. 3-min stall → "Reload
now" button. Download UI also shows a spinner + "Finishing
download — verifying checksum…" while the fake bar sits at 95%.
FIPS reconnect — for real this time
New fips.reconnect RPC does stop → start → wait 20s → re-poll →
classify. Classification buckets: connected / daemon_down /
no_seed_key / no_outbound_udp_or_anchor_down / peers_but_no_anchor,
each with a plain-language hint surfaced verbatim by the Reconnect
button. The real reason nodes like .198/.253 couldn't reach the
anchor: identity::write_fips_key_from_seed was writing fips_key.pub
as a bech32 npub TEXT file, but upstream fips expects 32 raw
bytes. The daemon silently authenticated with garbage. Fix:
PublicKey::to_bytes() → raw 32 bytes, and new
fips::config::normalize_pub_file migrates legacy files by decoding
the npub and rewriting in place. fips.reconnect also re-installs
the config + healed keys to /etc/fips before restarting.
AIUI preservation + restore
apply_update was wiping /opt/archipelago/web-ui/aiui because the
Vue build doesn't include it — every OTA lost the Claude sidebar.
The preserve block now copies aiui/ + archipelago-companion.apk
from the old web-ui into the staging dir before the swap, and
prefers new-tar versions if present. To restore it on the three
nodes that already lost it (.116/.198/.253), this release bundles
the 85 MB aiui build into the frontend tarball. Frontend component
size is now ~155 MB.
Download / install timeouts
Backend download client timeout 1800s → 3600s (1 h). Larger
tarball + slow gitea raw throughput put us above the old cap.
Frontend update.download rpc timeout 30 min → 65 min to match.
package.install rpc timeout 15 min → 45 min — IndeedHub pulls
6 images and was timing out mid-install.
UI nit
"Rollback to Previous" → "Rollback Available".
App-catalog proxy already landed in v1.7.13.

Three user-visible fixes shipped together.
1. update.apply permission-denied
apply_update() was doing fs::copy into /usr/local/bin/archipelago and
tar xzf into /opt/archipelago as the archipelago user — both root-owned.
The backup step succeeded (it wrote to data_dir) but the swap failed
with a silent permission denied, wrapped as "Failed to apply archipelago".
Now uses `sudo install -m 0755` for the binary and `sudo tar -xzf` for
the frontend, plus a post-apply `sudo systemctl --no-block restart
archipelago` scheduled 2s after the RPC reply so the UI sees success.
2. Apply → Install label
en/es locale strings: applyUpdate / applyTitle / applyNow changed from
"Apply" to "Install". Matches the user's mental model and distinguishes
the user-facing verb from the internal apply_update() function.
3. Identity avatar backfill
Identities created before df83163f had profile=None on disk and so
rendered as initials. load_record() now synthesizes an IdentityProfile
with a default picture (identicon for regular identities, the hex node
SVG for derivation_index=0) when profile is missing. The synthetic
profile lives only in the returned record; the file stays untouched so
a later explicit Save persists whatever the user actually chose.

Two fixes bundled into the OTA:
1. update.download hard-fail on git-path nodes. handle_update_check's git
branch reported update_available=true + update_method="git" but never
populated state.available_update, so update.download returned "No update
available to download" even though the UI showed one. SystemUpdate.vue
now routes update_method=="git" through update.git-apply (pull+rebuild+
restart via self-update.sh); manifest-path nodes keep the download→apply
flow. i18n strings + confirm modal added for the git path.
2. Reconciler creating containers behind the user's back. On fresh
unbundled installs (.198, .253) archy-mempool-db and archy-btcpay-db
materialised ~10 min after first boot because reconcile-containers.sh
walked container-specs.sh's canonical tier list and created any
"missing" container. reset_spec() now defaults SPEC_OPTIONAL="true",
so reconcile is strictly a repair tool — baseline comes from
first-boot-containers.sh (filebrowser on unbundled), everything else
from the install RPC.
Also forces OTA trigger for nodes on 1.6.0-alpha that otherwise saw
"I'm at manifest.version, nothing to do" and skipped the refreshed 1.6
artifacts.

UEFI boot:
- xorriso now uses -append_partition with ESP type GUID
(C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B) instead of -isohybrid-gpt-basdat
which only creates "basic data" partitions. Strict UEFI firmware
requires the correct ESP type to find BOOTX64.EFI.
- Uses Arch Linux ISO approach: -append_partition + appended_part_as_gpt
WebSocket/login from LAN browser:
- HTTPS nginx /ws block was missing proxy_set_header Cookie $http_cookie
Session cookie wasn't forwarded → backend returned 401 → WS failed
Password UX:
- Renamed "Change Password" → "Set Password" with description explaining
default password is password123
