v1.7.38 shipped with an OTA bug: the tar-extracted staging dir inherited 700
perms and nginx (www-data) returned 500/403 on every request after the swap.
.116 hit this on rollout; had to chmod by hand to recover.
- update.rs: after extraction, explicitly chmod 755 dirs + 644 files on the
new staging dir before the mv into place, so nginx can stat/serve them.
- main.rs: self-heal on startup — if /opt/archipelago/web-ui is not
world-readable, run `sudo chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX` to repair. This is what
rescues nodes upgrading from v1.7.37/v1.7.38, since their extractor
(running on the old binary) doesn't have the chmod fix yet — the new
binary's first boot fixes the mess before nginx serves a single request.
Everything v1.7.38 shipped is still in this release:
- auth.rs auto-heals is_onboarding_complete() from setup_complete +
password_hash so nodes don't bounce back to /onboarding/intro after
browser clear / reboot / update
- useOnboarding tri-state: backend-unreachable no longer defaults to intro
- login sounds gated by isFirstInstallPhase() — silent after onboarding,
typing sounds unaffected
- FIPS app / Nostr Relay / Nostr VPN / Routstr / Penpot removed from
catalog + frontend + Rust + docker + icons; 15 image versions deleted
from tx1138, .168, gitea-local
- AIUI baked into release tarball via demo/aiui/
- prebuild hook syncs app-catalog/catalog.json → public/catalog.json

- auth.rs now infers onboarding-complete from setup_complete + password_hash so
nodes stop bouncing users through the intro wizard after browser clear / update
/ reboot; the flag self-heals to disk on next check
- frontend: "backend uncertain" no longer defaults to /onboarding/intro —
useOnboarding returns null + callers poll / retry instead of flashing the wizard
- login sounds (synthwave, welcome voice, pop, whoosh, oomph) gated by
isFirstInstallPhase(); typing sounds unaffected
- removed FIPS app, Nostr Relay, Nostr VPN, Routstr, Penpot from catalog,
frontend config, Rust AppMetadata + install dispatch + install_penpot_stack;
docker/fips-ui + docker/nostr-vpn-ui + apps/penpot dirs and 5 icons deleted;
15 image versions deleted from tx1138, .168, gitea-local registries (.160
Gitea was 502 at release time — follow-up)
- AIUI baked into frontend release tarball via demo/aiui/; deploy-to-target
falls back to demo/aiui/ when the AIUI sibling checkout is missing
- prebuild hook syncs app-catalog/catalog.json → public/catalog.json so the
two copies can no longer drift (was the source of the "apps still visible"
bug — public/ had stale data)

Install flow
- api/rpc/package/install.rs: always append the literal image URL as a
last-resort pull candidate in do_pull_image, so images not carried by
any configured mirror (docker.io/bitcoin/bitcoin:28.4) still install
instead of masquerading as a generic pull failure across every mirror.
- api/rpc/package/install.rs: write_bitcoin_conf now skips on any stat
error, not just "file exists". Once bitcoin-knots' first-boot chowns
/var/lib/archipelago/bitcoin into the container's user namespace (700
perms, UID 100100/100101), the archipelago daemon can't even traverse
in — try_exists returns Err which unwrap_or(false) treated as "not
present" and drove a doomed write. Now errors out of the directory
traversal are treated as "conf already owned by container user" and
the write is skipped. Mirrors the lnd.conf pattern.
- api/rpc/package/install.rs: drop the hardcoded `prune=550` from the
conf default. Operators with multi-TB drives shouldn't be silently
pruned; users who want a pruned node can set it in bitcoin.conf
themselves. Full archive is the only honest default.
- api/rpc/package/config.rs: bitcoin-core now passes explicit
-server/-rpcbind/-rpcallowip/-rpcport/-printtoconsole/-datadir CLI
args. Vanilla bitcoin/bitcoin:28.4 has no entrypoint wrapper and
reads conf + argv only; without these the RPC listens on 127.0.0.1
inside the container and rootlessport can't reach it, so the
bitcoin-ui companion gets 502 on every /bitcoin-rpc/ call.
Bitcoin Knots keeps its own entrypoint-driven defaults.
- container/docker_packages.rs: split bitcoin-core out of the shared
AppMetadata arm. bitcoin-core now surfaces as "Bitcoin Core" with
bitcoin-core.svg and a Reference-implementation description; the
bitcoin + bitcoin-knots ids keep the Knots branding. Fixes the home
card showing "Bitcoin Knots" for a Core install.
Bitcoin node UI (docker/bitcoin-ui)
- index.html: impl name/tagline/logo now dynamic. applyImplBranding()
reads subversion from getnetworkinfo — /Satoshi:X/Knots:Y/ resolves
to Bitcoin Knots, plain /Satoshi:X/ resolves to Bitcoin Core. Both
get their own icon and subtitle. Settings modal replaced its
hardcoded Regtest/txindex=1/port-18443 placeholders with live values
from getblockchaininfo + getindexinfo + getzmqnotifications.
- index.html: new Storage info card (Full Archive · X GB /
Pruned · X GB from blockchainInfo.pruned + size_on_disk) visible on
the main dashboard, same level as Network. Settings modal mirrors it
with the prune height when applicable.
- Dockerfile + assets/: bitcoin-core.svg, bitcoin-knots.webp, and the
bg-network.jpg used by the dashboard are now COPY'd into the image
under /usr/share/nginx/html/assets. Previously the <img src> pointed
at paths that 404'd into the SPA fallback and the onerror handler
hid the broken logo silently.
Frontend
- appSession/appSessionConfig.ts: add bitcoin-core to APP_PORTS (8334),
HTTPS_PROXY_PATHS (/app/bitcoin-ui/), and APP_TITLES (Bitcoin Core).
Without these the AppSessionFrame showed "No URL found for
bitcoin-core" and the home/app-list title fell through to the raw id.
- settings/AccountInfoSection.vue: backfill What's New entries for
v1.7.31 through v1.7.37 that had been missed in earlier cuts.
Release plumbing
- releases/v1.7.37-alpha/: binary + frontend tarball.
- releases/manifest.json: v1.7.37-alpha, sha256/size refreshed.
- Cargo.toml / package.json: version bumps.

- Backend: unified pull-progress streaming across primary AND fallback
registries. Earlier code only streamed for the primary attempt; if it
failed fast (VPS 404, etc.) the UI froze at 0% until the fallback
finished. The waterfall now uses a single shared helper that streams
podman stderr through update_install_progress for every URL tried.
- Backend: PackageDataEntry gains uninstall_stage, set at each phase of
handle_package_uninstall ("Stopping containers (i/total)",
"Cleaning up volumes", "Removing app data"). State flips to Removing
during the pipeline.
- Frontend: MarketplaceAppCard renders the live progress bar with byte
counts during installs, matching the System Update download bar style.
- Frontend: AppCard renders the live uninstall stage label per app.
Modal closes immediately on confirm so concurrent uninstalls each
show their own progress on their own card.
- Cleanup: removed dead helpers (image_candidates, rewrite_for_primary,
primary_image_url, pull_from_registries_with_skip) made unused by
the install.rs refactor.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New Settings → App registries page (/dashboard/settings/registries)
that mirrors the update-mirrors experience: list of configured
registries, test reachability, set primary, add/remove. New
registry.set-primary RPC; existing registry.{list,add,remove,test}
reused.
- Default RegistryConfig flipped: VPS (23.182.128.160:3000/lfg2025) is
now Server 1 (primary), tx1138 is Server 2 (fallback).
- Install pipeline now rewrites the first pull to the primary registry
URL before attempting it. Before this, installs always hit whichever
registry the image was hardcoded to, so changing the primary didn't
actually affect where images came from. On failure, the existing
fallback walk skips the primary (already tried) and walks the rest.
- App catalog proxy UPSTREAMS order flipped so the catalog follows the
same VPS-first rule.
- Reboot overlay: animated "a" logo now sits in the center of the ring
(matches the screensaver composition). Extracted the logo-wrapper
pattern inline.
7/7 registry tests pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New reboot progress overlay: full-screen black with the screensaver's
pulsing ring, rebooting → reconnecting → back-online → stalled stages,
elapsed counter, auto-reload on health-check success, manual reload
button at 3 min stall. Mirrors the existing update overlay.
- Ring extracted from Screensaver.vue into a reusable ScreensaverRing
component so the reboot overlay reuses the same animation.
- default_mirrors() now puts the VPS as Server 1 (primary) and tx1138 as
Server 2 — new nodes fetch manifests from VPS first; existing nodes
keep whatever mirror order they've customized.
- What's New entry prepended for v1.7.28-alpha.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New "Served by {mirror}" line on the System Update page so operators can see
which mirror actually served the available manifest (vs. which is configured
primary). Backend threads the served URL through UpdateState.manifest_mirror.
- New update.test-mirror RPC + per-row lightning-bolt button that pings a
mirror and renders reachable/latency or error inline under the URL.
- UI polish on the mirrors section: Set Primary, Remove, and the new Test
action are compact icon buttons; add-mirror form moved into a dialog.
- "What's New" block prepended for v1.7.27-alpha.
21/21 update module tests pass. vue-tsc + vite build clean.

Adds a multi-mirror manifest fetch. `check_for_updates` walks a
configurable list (data_dir/update-mirrors.json) in priority order
and falls through to the next mirror on any HTTP / parse / timeout
failure. Two defaults bake in: Server 1 (git.tx1138.com) and Server 2
(23.182.128.160:3000).
Critical fix: after parsing a manifest, rewrite every component's
`download_url` so its origin matches the manifest URL we fetched.
Before this, the manifest hard-coded absolute URLs pointing at one
specific server — so even when a node fetched the manifest from a
faster mirror, the actual 200MB download went back to the slow
original. Now the faster mirror wins end-to-end.
New RPCs: update.list-mirrors, update.add-mirror, update.remove-mirror,
update.set-primary-mirror. New UI section on the System Update page
for operator management. 5 new unit tests for origin parsing and
manifest rewriting (21/21 green).

Re-adds the TCP transport (`0.0.0.0:8443`) to the rendered fips.yaml
alongside UDP. Upstream factory default enables both; we had
inadvertently narrowed to UDP-only when the yaml rewriter was last
touched, which left nodes unable to reach fips.v0l.io (the public
anchor only answers on TCP right now) or talk across networks that
block UDP.
Backend startup now compares the installed yaml against the current
rendered schema and restarts whichever fips unit is active when they
differ — so OTA-upgrading nodes pick up the new transport without
anyone having to click Reconnect.
Dropped the earlier plan to auto-add federated peers as seed anchors:
invites don't carry a FIPS-reachable IP:port, and once TCP reconnects
the public mesh, federated peers become npub-routable without needing
a seed entry.
Seed Anchors modal cleanup: replaced malformed header icon with a
three-arc broadcast glyph, and the close button now matches the
What's New modal (embedded in the card header, same icon + hover
style) instead of the earlier floating off-design placeholder.

The npm run build step in the release ritual had been silently failing
for roughly seven releases. vue-tsc died with EACCES on a root-owned
node_modules/.tmp, exited non-zero, and my `tail -5` of the build
output happened to only show vite's precache summary — which makes
vite look successful even when the typecheck that precedes it failed.
The resulting archipelago-frontend-*.tar.gz files were rebuilds from
whatever content happened to live in web/dist/neode-ui/ at the moment
(files left over from v1.7.9, owned root:root from an earlier sudo'd
operation, unchanged since).
Fixed by chowning both paths back to the archipelago user and
rebuilding. Every published frontend tarball from v1.7.17 through
v1.7.23 therefore shipped the same frozen UI; v1.7.24 is the first
release in that stretch whose frontend actually matches its backend.
Recorded the build-verification rule as a persistent feedback memory
(feedback_frontend_build_verify.md) — future ships must grep the
packaged tarball for the new version string before push.

Adds a gear button next to the FIPS Mesh card's status pill that
opens a Teleport-ed modal containing FipsSeedAnchorsCard. The card
was landed on disk in v1.7.21 but never wired into a UI entry point
per the entry-point convention, so users couldn't access the
Add/Remove/Apply controls at all. One gear click now opens them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- fips::service::active_unit() picks whichever fips unit is running
(archipelago-fips.service vs upstream fips.service) so
handle_fips_restart and handle_fips_reconnect don't silently no-op
on hosts where the archipelago-managed unit was never created.
- peer_connectivity_summary(anchor_candidates) replaces the old
identity-cache check. anchor_connected is now true when at least
one authenticated peer's npub matches the public anchor OR any
entry in seed-anchors.json, which matches what the user actually
cares about ("am I in the mesh?") rather than what the card used
to claim ("is this one specific public anchor reachable?").
- FipsStatus::query takes data_dir now (so it can read seed-anchors)
rather than identity_dir. All call-sites updated.
- handle_fips_reconnect re-pushes seed anchors after restart so the
new daemon gets dialed without waiting for the 5-min apply loop.
- FipsNetworkCard label drops "(fips.v0l.io)" — misleading now that
multiple anchors may be configured.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a local seed-anchor list at <data_dir>/seed-anchors.json. Each
entry is {npub, address, transport, label}. On archipelago startup
and every 5 minutes the list is pushed into the running fips daemon
via `fipsctl connect <npub> <addr> <transport>`, so a cluster can
anchor itself independently of the global fips.v0l.io. A flaky or
unreachable public anchor no longer strands a fresh install.
New RPCs:
- fips.list-seed-anchors
- fips.add-seed-anchor (validates npub1… + host:port)
- fips.remove-seed-anchor
- fips.apply-seed-anchors (on-demand re-dial)
New standalone UI card at views/server/FipsSeedAnchorsCard.vue. Not
wired into Home.vue / Server.vue — operator places it per the
entry-point convention.

The 3AM auto-update path called std::process::exit(0) immediately
after apply_update returned. apply_update had already spawned a 2s-
delayed systemctl restart, but exit(0) killed the runtime before that
spawned task could run — and the unit's Restart=on-failure does not
trigger on a clean exit 0, so the service stayed dead until someone
SSH'd in and started it manually (.253 hit this today).
Scheduler now returns from the task without killing the process;
apply_update's existing restart path (same one the UI's Install
Update button uses) brings the new version up cleanly.
Also hardens the ISO CI: the AIUI inclusion step now falls back to
extracting from the newest release tarball if the runner's cached
/opt/archipelago/web-ui/aiui path is missing, so a reprovisioned
runner can't silently ship a frontend tarball without AIUI. The ISO
build step also sanity-checks the binary exists before invoking the
builder.

load_state now drops any stored available_update whenever the running
binary version differs from what's on disk — the old migration only
cleared it when the stale entry happened to match the new version, so
skipping releases (e.g. sideloading 1.7.16 → 1.7.18 without 1.7.17)
left a pointer to an intermediate version as the "update available",
which the UI then offered as a downgrade prompt.
check_for_updates also uses a numeric version comparator so a stale or
cached manifest with an older version can't offer itself as an
update, and 1.7.10 correctly outranks 1.7.9 past the single-digit
patch boundary.

Flip transitively-discovered federation peers to Trusted instead of
Observer. Hints are already only ingested from peers we trust and only
peers we trust are re-exported via build_local_state, so the chain of
trust is already vetted end-to-end — making the user promote each
newcomer by hand was friction with no security win.
Backend:
- federation/sync.rs: merge_transitive_peers now inserts TrustLevel::Trusted
(doc comment updated to explain the transitive-trust rationale)
- update.rs: info! log at download start (version, components, total_bytes,
staging path), cancel (staging wiped?, marker cleared?), and apply (backup
path) so journalctl reveals where a stuck update actually is
Frontend:
- SystemUpdate What's New block gets a v1.7.18-alpha entry

Federation join flow now notifies the inviter with the joiner's name and
immediately bumps state so the Federation UI reloads without a manual
Sync click. Accepting an invite that points back at the local node is
rejected up front (DID/pubkey/onion match). After a peer joins, we spawn
a transitive sync that pulls the new peer's federated peer hints so all
nodes in the federation learn about each other as Observer entries.
Federation.vue polls every 5s while mounted.

Replace fragmented random key generation with a single 24-word BIP-39
mnemonic that deterministically derives all node keys: Ed25519 (DID),
secp256k1 (Nostr/Bitcoin), BIP-84 xprv (Bitcoin Core), and LND aezeed
entropy. New onboarding flow: seed generate → word verification → identity
naming. Restore path enabled via 24-word entry. Includes seed RPC handlers,
mock backend support, LND/Bitcoin Core wallet-from-seed integration, and
UI polish across settings and discover views.
