Secret env used to merge into manifest.app.environment, landing in
'podman inspect' Config.Env on the API backend and — worse — as
plaintext Environment= lines in Quadlet unit files on disk. Now:
- expand_and_partition_env (container crate, pure + tested) expands
${KEY} placeholders and splits env into plain entries and
secret-bearing pairs. Plain entries that interpolate a secret
(btcpay's Password=${BTCPAY_DB_PASS} connection strings) are
tainted and travel as secrets too. Secret values themselves are
never expanded (a generated value containing '${' passes verbatim).
- values register as podman secrets: stdin (never argv/tempfile),
--replace, content-hash label to skip no-op rewrites; a per-app hash
cache in the orchestrator makes steady-state reconciles free of
podman secret calls. Registration goes through the runtime trait
(default no-op keeps mocks/docker inert).
- containers reference secrets by name: secret_env map in the libpod
create spec, Secret=<name>,type=env,target=<KEY> in Quadlet units.
Verified empirically on fleet podman 5.4.2: value absent from
inspect Config.Env, runtime injection works rootless.
- rotation detection: io.archipelago.secret-env-hash container label
(API) / the changed unit bytes (Quadlet). Pre-upgrade containers
lack the label, so every secret-bearing app recreates ONCE on the
first reconcile after deploy — deliberate, it scrubs the plaintext
secrets out of existing container configs. Data dirs untouched.
- docker dev fallback keeps plain -e injection (no secret store);
podman secrets persist across uninstall, matching the
preserve-credentials invariant (reinstall re-registers by hash).
In-container /proc/<pid>/environ is unchanged — env remains the
app-compat contract; the closed leaks are inspect output and unit
files on disk.
Tests: archipelago-container 61/61 (3 new: taint partition, verbatim
secrets, hash order-independence), archipelago container:: 160/160
(fedimint install test now asserts the secret arrives as a ref, not
env; quadlet render test asserts Secret=/Label= lines). NEEDS the
on-node gate re-run before the item counts as verified.

Replace all `podman` CLI shell-outs with HTTP requests to the rootless
Podman API unix socket (/run/user/{UID}/podman/podman.sock).
Benefits:
- No process spawning overhead — direct HTTP over unix socket
- Structured JSON responses — no string parsing fragility
- Proper timeouts on all operations (5s connect, 30s default, 120s create)
- Health check method to verify socket availability
- Restart container as first-class operation
Still uses CLI for:
- Image pulls (streaming operation better suited to CLI)
- Container logs (raw text stream, not JSON)
The Podman socket is rootless (runs as archipelago user), local-only
(unix socket), and already behind our session auth in the backend.

- Added new dependencies: `adler2`, `crc32fast`, `flate2`, `miniz_oxide`, and `libredox`.
- Updated existing dependencies: `tokio-rustls` to version 0.26.4 and `filetime` to version 0.2.27.
- Removed the `backup.rs` file as it is no longer needed.
- Introduced tests for configuration and credential management.
- Enhanced the `identity` module to generate W3C compliant DID documents.
