Remove the Bitcoin RPC 60-second gate that blocked 13+ dependent containers
(mempool, electrumx, btcpay, lnd, fedimint) from being created on first boot.
Containers now always get created and auto-restart via health monitor once
Bitcoin becomes responsive — the designed recovery path.
Additional hardening:
- Validate archy-net creation with retry (silent failure broke DNS)
- Verify critical images are loaded, re-load from tarballs if missing
- Create SearXNG settings.yml before container start (was missing)
- Run reconciler automatically after first-boot failures
- Add load-images as explicit systemd dependency with 900s timeout
- Propagate config write errors in install.rs (bitcoin.conf, lnd.conf)
- FileBrowser password change: retry loop (6 attempts) + 0o600 perms
- Post-start verification: detect containers that exit immediately
- Add 2s dependency waits between container starts

- session.rs: use OnceCell for remember_secret to prevent concurrent
requests on first boot from generating different HMAC secrets, which
caused CSRF token mismatch on every state-changing RPC call (app
install, start, stop all failed with "CSRF token missing or invalid")
- install.rs: write lnd.conf with Bitcoin RPC credentials before LND
container starts (prevents "bitcoin.mainnet must be specified" crash);
inject Bitcoin RPC auth into bitcoin-ui nginx.conf; add proper error
logging to UI container build/run steps; fix UI containers to use
--network=host (they proxy to localhost backend/bitcoin RPC)
- Tor: remove After=tor.service from archipelago-tor-helper.path to
break systemd ordering cycle that prevented Tor from starting on boot
- Seed screen: compact grid layout (2 cols mobile, 4 cols sm+) with
tighter padding to fit kiosk displays without scrolling
- Dockerfiles: remove nonexistent assets/ COPY from bitcoin-ui, fix
electrs-ui to COPY qrcode.js and EXPOSE 50002 (matches nginx.conf)
- image-versions.sh: add UI container image variables for registry

All 6 cycles completed successfully:
- C1: Full baseline diagnosis of all Bitcoin stack containers
- C2: Fixed DAC_OVERRIDE caps, health checks, container specs
- C3: Resilience testing — kill/recover for all containers + cascade
- C4: Complete test suite pass — all health checks green
- C5: 5-minute soak test passes with zero state changes
- C6: Code quality gate — all checks pass
Critical bugs found and fixed:
- Rootless volume permission denied (missing DAC_OVERRIDE capability)
- LND health check requiring macaroon auth
- Electrumx health check using missing curl binary
- Container-doctor killing active conmon processes (root/rootless mismatch)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Critical bug: the doctor runs as root but containers are rootless
under the archipelago user. When checking if a conmon process has an
associated container, the root podman database was queried (empty),
causing ALL conmon processes to be identified as orphaned and killed.
This terminated running containers every 30 minutes.
Fix: use sudo -u archipelago to query the rootless podman database.

Nginx needs CHOWN, SETUID, SETGID to chown cache directories and drop
privileges on startup. LND UI additionally needs NET_BIND_SERVICE to
bind port 80 inside the container. Without these, cap-drop ALL causes

- electrumx: add DAC_OVERRIDE to SPEC_CAPS — rootless podman maps container
UID 0 to host UID 1000, but volumes are owned by host UID 100000; without
DAC_OVERRIDE the container can't write to its own data directory
- lnd: replace curl-based health check with lncli using readonly macaroon —
the REST API requires macaroon auth, so unauthenticated curl always fails

Previous fix tried to copy from the live system at install time, but
the live ISO doesn't have netavark. Now: binaries are embedded in the
ISO during build (from the build host's /usr/lib/podman/), then copied
to the target at install time from the ISO filesystem.
This fixes container DNS on fresh installs — LND can now resolve
bitcoin-knots, mempool-api can resolve electrumx, etc.

The backend couldn't read Tor hidden service hostnames because the
systemd service only had SupplementaryGroups=dialout. Adding debian-tor

Fresh ISO installs use podman with CNI backend which lacks DNS.
Containers on archy-net can't resolve each other by name, causing:
- LND: "lookup bitcoin-knots: no such host"
- Any inter-container communication to fail
Fix: copy netavark + aardvark-dns from build host into ISO rootfs
and configure podman to use netavark backend. This enables automatic
DNS resolution on custom bridge networks (archy-net).

- fix: Tor services.json never written — \$ARCHY_TOR_DIR escaping bug
- fix: kiosk white screen — increase health wait to 60s, add --disable-gpu
Improvements:
- feat: LUKS encryption badge in Server disk stats (backend detects dm-crypt)
- fix: GRUB theme text scaling on 4:3 monitors — explicit fonts, wider menu
- fix: suppress default Debian MOTD (custom profile.d welcome is enough)
- fix: install error messages now show "Failed to pull/start" instead of

Critical fixes:
- Remove ensure_default_user() — no more auto-creating user with
password123. Login page now shows "Create Password" form on first
boot. User sets their own password during onboarding flow.
- CSRF 403: increased retry delay from 300ms to 500ms for stale
cookie recovery after remember-me session restore.
- Reboot: multiple fallback methods (/sbin/reboot, sysrq, kill init)
when USB is pulled and /usr/sbin isn't available.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CSRF fix (THE BLOCKER):
- After remember-me session restore, the browser has a stale CSRF
cookie but a new session token. ALL subsequent RPC calls return 403.
- Fix: exempt read-only polling methods (node-messages-received,
server.echo, system.stats, tor.status, etc.) from CSRF validation.
CSRF still protects state-changing operations (install, uninstall,
start, stop, restart, settings changes).
Reboot fix:
- The separate /tmp/archipelago-reboot.sh approach failed because
/bin/bash is on the squashfs which gets unmounted when USB is pulled.
- Fix: do everything inline in the installer script — show message,
unmount USB, wait for Enter, then reboot. Use sysrq-trigger first
(kernel-level, doesn't need userspace binaries).

Container name resolution:
- New all_container_names() — single source of truth for every app's
container name variants (bitcoin-knots/bitcoin/bitcoin-core, etc.)
- Covers all historical naming patterns and multi-container stacks
Start/Stop/Restart:
- No more silent failures (let _ = podman...). Every operation logs
the command, checks exit status, and returns real errors to the UI.
- Restart uses stop+start fallback when podman restart fails
(handles rootless podman loopback adapter errors)
- "No containers found" error when app doesn't exist
Tor helper:
- Install archipelago-tor-helper.path + .service in rootfs
- Enable the path unit so backend can manage Tor as non-root
- Copy tor-helper.sh to /opt/archipelago/scripts/
Verified: container with proper caps can stop/start/restart cleanly.

All containers now get CHOWN+FOWNER+SETUID+SETGID+DAC_OVERRIDE+NET_BIND_SERVICE
as the default cap set. Rootless podman needs these for:
- CHOWN/FOWNER/DAC_OVERRIDE: file ownership in mapped UID namespace
- SETUID/SETGID: internal user switching (entrypoint scripts)
- NET_BIND_SERVICE: port binding in network namespaces
Tested on .198: Grafana, Vaultwarden, Bitcoin Knots all start successfully.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bitcoin Knots failed to start with "failed to set loopback adapter up"
because cap-drop=ALL removed NET_BIND_SERVICE, which rootless podman
needs for network namespace setup.
- Add NET_BIND_SERVICE to Bitcoin/LND/Fedimint capabilities
- Add NET_BIND_SERVICE as default for ALL apps (rootless podman needs it)
- UID mapping fix from previous commit also included

create_data_dirs now chowns data directories to the correct mapped
UID for rootless podman (host_uid = 100000 + container_uid).
Previously only Grafana (UID 472) was handled. Now all containers
get the correct ownership:
- Bitcoin Knots: 100101 (container UID 101)
- Grafana: 100472 (UID 472)
- LND: 101000 (UID 1000)
- MariaDB: 100999 (UID 999)
- Postgres: 100070 (UID 70)
- All others: 100000 (UID 0, root)
Without this, containers fail with "Operation not permitted" on
chown during startup because rootless podman restricts UID operations.

The profile.d script used <<'PROFILE' (single-quoted heredoc) inside
a bash -c '...' single-quoted block. The inner quotes broke the outer
quoting, causing all $ variables to expand to empty at build time.
The for loop checked if [ -f "/archipelago/auto-install.sh" ] instead
of if [ -f "$dev/archipelago/auto-install.sh" ] — never matching.

Fix: switch to <<'PROFILE' (quoted, no expansion) and use raw
\033 escape codes in echo -e instead of $'...' variables.

UEFI boot fix:
- Write proper EFI grub.cfg with root UUID after update-grub
(was missing — GRUB dropped to grub> prompt because it couldn't
find its config on the EFI FAT partition)
Installer TUI (Claude Code-inspired):
- Step counter [1/7] through [7/7] with clean progress display
- Helper functions: step(), ok(), warn(), fail(), spinner()
- Centered output with cc() helper
- Clean status messages instead of emoji + raw echo

- OnboardingDone: "Go to Login" → "Set Password" with context text
- Reboot: lazy-unmount live FS before USB removal prompt, suppress
kernel SquashFS messages, auto-reboot after 10s countdown
- Initramfs: filter "Possible missing firmware" warnings (cosmetic)
- ISOLINUX: menu centered at bottom (VSHIFT 18, HSHIFT 32, WIDTH 18)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Critical fixes from ISO testing on .198:
- Backend auto-creates default user (password123) on first start
so login works immediately after onboarding
- Force reboot (reboot -f) after install to avoid SquashFS errors
when live USB is removed
- Eject USB before prompting user, not after
- Add firmware-misc-nonfree for Intel i915 GPU (suppresses dozens
of "Possible missing firmware" warnings during initramfs update)
- First boot screen: wait up to 10s for DHCP before showing IP
- First boot screen: compact layout fits 80-col terminals
- ISOLINUX menu resolution dropped to 640x480 for universal
VESA compatibility (was 1024x768, caused scaling on some hardware)

UEFI (#5): grub-mkstandalone embedded config now insmod's all needed
modules (iso9660, search_label, normal, linux) and uses 'normal' to
load the full grub.cfg. Previous config couldn't find the ISO root.
ISOLINUX (#6, #7): Switch from menu.c32 to vesamenu.c32 for background
image support. Copies splash.png from branding. TIMEOUT 0 for instant
boot (no keyboard lag, no menu flicker). Dark theme with transparent
background over the splash image.
Also: added vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 to build artifacts.
Removed console=ttyS0 from quiet boot (interferes with Plymouth).
Added splash to quiet boot kernel params.

Secure flag on session cookies broke HTTP LAN access — browsers refuse
to send Secure cookies over plain HTTP, causing 401 redirect loop.
Fix: check X-Forwarded-Proto header. Only set Secure when request came
over HTTPS. HTTP on LAN works, HTTPS still gets Secure cookies.

Frontend:
- Router guard checks isOnboardingComplete before redirecting to /login.
Fresh installs now go to /onboarding/intro instead of stuck on login.
- Login.vue: autocomplete="off" — fixes Enter key focusing button
instead of submitting the form.
ISO build:
- Added uidmap, slirp4netns, fuse-overlayfs to rootfs (required for
rootless Podman, lost to --no-install-recommends)
- Tor setup: mkdir + chmod 700 for hidden service dirs before starting
(Tor refuses 750/setgid permissions)
CI:
- QEMU headless boot test step after smoke test
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two critical issues found on fresh .198 install:
1. Podman broken — uidmap package missing from rootfs because
--no-install-recommends dropped it. Without newuidmap, rootless
Podman can't create user namespaces. Also add slirp4netns and
fuse-overlayfs which are required for rootless networking and
storage.
2. Tor hidden service dirs created with 750 permissions (setgid).
Tor requires exactly 700. Added explicit mkdir + chmod 700 for
all hidden service dirs before starting Tor.
Both issues fixed on .198 live. Build script updated for future installs.

CI now runs a headless QEMU boot test after the smoke test:
- Boots ISO with -nographic, captures serial output
- Watches for "Press Enter to start installation" (pass)
- Detects kernel panic or initramfs shell (fail)
- 120 second timeout, runs as continue-on-error
Also: updated iso-debug reference with embedded vs appended EFI
findings from real hardware testing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- sudo not installed in minbase squashfs — caused "command not found"
when pressing Enter to install. We're already root via auto-login.
- ISOLINUX timeout from 5s to 1s — reduces menu flicker/duplication

Three fixes from real hardware testing:
1. Installer auto-start: replace systemd service with profile.d script.
The service and getty raced on tty1 — service output was overwritten
by the login prompt. Profile.d runs AFTER auto-login, same approach
the working Debian Live build used.
2. xorriso: revert from -append_partition to embedded -e boot/grub/efi.img.
The appended partition approach produces cyl-align-off with zero CHS
geometry, which is why BIOS wouldn't recognize the USB. The embedded
approach matches the working main ISO (cyl-align-on, proper CHS).
3. ISOLINUX: dark theme instead of ugly blue. Black background, orange
title, dark selection highlight. No blue boxes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause of USB boot failure: our xorriso used -e boot/grub/efi.img
to embed the EFI image inside the ISO. This works for CD-ROM and QEMU
but NOT for USB on real UEFI hardware.
Fix: use the Will Haley / Debian live-build approach:
- -append_partition 2 (GPT type EFI) appends efi.img AFTER ISO data
- -e --interval:appended_partition_2:all:: references the appended partition
- --mbr-force-bootable forces MBR active flag
- grub-mkstandalone with embedded bootstrap config (searches for grub.cfg)
- grub.cfg placed in both /boot/grub/ AND /EFI/BOOT/ on ISO
- grub.cfg uses search --label ARCHIPELAGO to find the ISO root
This is the exact approach used by StartOS, TAILS, and every production
custom Debian live ISO that boots from USB.
Also: iso-debug, iso-branding skills + reference docs, dev-start.sh
option 0 for branding dev, improved dev-branding.sh and test-iso-qemu.sh.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Option 0 in dev-start.sh launches the branding development workflow:
- Finds latest ISO on Desktop or results/
- Patches branding files into the ISO
- Boots in QEMU for immediate visual feedback
- Lists editable files if no ISO is available
Edit background.png, theme.txt, or Plymouth files, re-run option 0,
see changes in ~10 seconds without a full CI build.

Boot fix:
- Ship proven Debian Live MBR (4552) as branding/isohdpfx.bin — the
ISOLINUX package MBR (33ed) doesn't boot on all hardware. This was
the root cause of "machine doesn't pick up the USB".
Branding:
- Custom GRUB background: pixel-art floating island (1024x574)
- Archipelago pixel-art logo for Plymouth boot splash
- GRUB theme: dark background, orange selected item, no broken font refs
- Plymouth theme: script-based with progress bar, LUKS prompt support
- Plymouth + splash added to target rootfs packages
- GRUB theme installed on both installer ISO and target system
- Serial console (ttyS0) added to kernel params for QEMU debugging
CI improvements:
- Smoke test step: mounts ISO, verifies all critical files, checks
initrd has live-boot, confirms boot=live in grub.cfg. Fails build
before copying to Builds if any check fails.
Dev workflow:
- dev-branding.sh: extract ISO, swap branding, repackage, boot in QEMU
(~10 seconds vs 20 min full rebuild)
- generate-grub-background.py: procedural cyberpunk background generator
- generate-plymouth-logo.py: procedural logo generator
- Improved test-iso-qemu.sh: --bios/--nographic flags, serial logging
Build:
- Simplified live-boot install (clean chroot, no complex fallbacks)
- Static branding images preferred, generators as fallback

Theme: remove explicit font name references that don't match
grub-mkfont output names, remove select_*.png pixmap reference
(files don't exist). GRUB falls back to default when theme fails
to load — this was causing the Debian helmet to show.
QEMU test script: add --bios/--nographic flags, serial console
logging to /tmp/archipelago-qemu-serial.log, auto-detect latest
ISO, use -drive for OVMF firmware.

The old Debian Live ISO used -partition_offset 16 which reserves space
for a GPT partition table in the hybrid MBR layout. UEFI firmware on
some machines requires this to recognize the USB as bootable. We
removed it thinking it was Debian Live-specific but it's actually an
xorriso hybrid boot requirement.
