Curated release notes for the pending v1.8.5-alpha: Cuprate (with the
two review catches), kdump/rasdaemon + the host-fixup OTA channel, the
uninstall-abort fix, federation inline-picture routing, honest disk
usage, the three lying-screens fixes (#143/#127/#129), durable mesh
notifications + router recovery (#57/#103), and upstream-release tracking
with the first-sweep safe bumps.
What's New modal synced via scripts/sync-whats-new.py (--check passes;
89 versions, all present). Per docs/RELEASE_NOTES_BACKLOG.md the
v1.7.44-alpha -> current section audit remains the open item before the
tag.
create-release aborted at [4/8] with "web/dist/neode-ui does not contain
v1.8.4-alpha — the frontend build no-opped or its output is stale". The
build had not no-opped: it was fresh, and simply had no 1.8.4 string to
embed.
sync-whats-new.py only matches '## vX.Y.Z (YYYY-MM-DD)'. The entry read
'## v1.8.4-alpha (draft — date set at cut)', so the version was invisible
to it: the gate's whats-new-sync stage reported "87 versions, all present"
while the release being cut had no What's New block. That modal is the
only place a version string appears in the frontend, so the bundle carried
none and the freshness check — correctly — refused it, while naming the
wrong cause. Step [5/8] only greps for '^## v1.8.4-alpha (' so it passed
the draft too.
Three changes: date the v1.8.4-alpha entry, insert the modal block it was
owed, and make the sync tool refuse any version header without a real date
instead of skipping it. Skipping is what let a wrong "all present" through.
Verified: the draft header now fails the check with an explicit message,
the dated one passes (88 versions, up from 87), and a rebuilt bundle
contains 1.8.4-alpha where it did not before.

- alby-hub + phoenixd icons re-set with the standard 12% inner margin
(they shipped edge-to-edge; every other icon carries whitespace).
- scripts/normalize-app-icon.py: wraps any third-party SVG mark onto the
house canvas — the system applies the tile plate (archy-app-icon)
automatically but deliberately no runtime inset, so the margin must be
baked; the guide now says exactly that.
- MarketplaceAppDetails: the icon now carries archy-app-icon like the
store tiles — the treatment no longer stops at the detail page.
- v1.8.2 changelog: third curated bullet (the ceremony gate requires 3).

An app whose frame never loads while its backend reports Running (the
embed-refusal signature: frame-busting JS, top-level-origin apps,
SameSite=Strict logins — everything the gate's header stripping cannot
fix) is remembered in localStorage; every later launch opens a tab
straight from the click (user gesture, so no popup blocker), and
opensInTab() gives it the tab-launch icon. A successful iframe load
clears the memory and entries expire after 7 days, so nodes that gain
embedding (gate improvements) get re-probed instead of being remembered
broken forever. Dev guide updated; v1.8.2 changelog + What's New curated.
