chore: sign the v1.8.7 app catalog + release manifest

directAppUrl(), the legacy open() path, and resolveRuntimeLaunchUrl()
now upgrade to https only for ports the app gate fronts — decided from
the signed catalog's embedded manifest ports (auth gated/open), so
plain-HTTP publishes (legacy installs, auth:none API ports like
Cuprate's RPC) keep http instead of failing outright. fetchAppCatalog()
merges the daemon-verified signed catalog into the App Store listing
(signed entries appear immediately; community copy supplies featured
and curated metadata), and Marketplace.vue uses the same dynamic fetcher
as Discover so the grid sees signed-new apps too.

 - **What's New really does stop at v1.8.0 now.** The first correction removed old generated release blocks but missed six much older hand-written v1.2 sections at the bottom of the modal. Those sections are gone, and the release check now recognizes and rejects that legacy format too, so the history floor cannot falsely pass again.
 
-- **The installer carries the same corrected release, Companion 0.5.28, and complete crash tooling.** Its artifact gate now checks the companion APK version, the v1.8.0 What's New floor, and every kdump package inside the finished ISO; `makedumpfile` is installed explicitly rather than accidentally relying on a recommended dependency that the minimal image deliberately omits.
+- **The installer carries the same corrected release and Companion 0.5.28.** Its artifact gate now checks the companion APK version and the v1.8.0 What's New floor inside the finished ISO, so a stale frontend or phone app cannot be published under the current release label.
+
+- **Crash dumps work on fresh installs as well as upgraded nodes.** The installer gate checks every kdump package inside the finished ISO, and `makedumpfile` is installed explicitly rather than accidentally relying on a recommended dependency that the minimal image deliberately omits.
+
+- **Apps open over HTTPS when your node does.** Connect to your node over HTTPS and the apps you open — Vaultwarden in its own tab, BTCPay, Grafana, and the rest, on a remote browser or in the phone's in-app browser — now open on the same secure connection instead of silently dropping to plain HTTP. The node's app gate already served TLS on every app port; the dashboard was handing out `http://` addresses regardless of how you reached it. Ports the gate does not front (plain-HTTP publishes, and the API ports like Cuprate's RPC) deliberately stay on `http` — `https` there would simply fail to connect. Plain-HTTP access (the kiosk, LAN browsing) is unchanged.
+
+- **Every app in the store is now a first-class platform app.** The last stragglers — Nginx Proxy Manager, Tailscale, Ollama, CryptPad, and AdGuard Home — now carry full manifests: the node's app gate fronts their web ports (TLS on the same port, the node login where appropriate, embedding fixes, Tor), installs go through the orchestrator like every other app, and their pins live in the signed catalog. Ollama stays loopback-only — it is the assistant's local model backend, not a web app. The four apps retired earlier (FIPS, Nostr VPN, Routstr, Penpot) are finally dropped from the catalog, and Cuprate's manifest — which carried a duplicated metadata block that strict parsers reject — is fixed.
+
+- **Newly signed apps appear in the App Store immediately.** The App Store now serves the release-signed catalog the node has already fetched and verified — so publishing a signed app (like Cuprate) makes it appear for every updated node without waiting for a dashboard release. The unsigned community catalog remains only as a fallback for nodes that can't reach the registry. The same signed catalog now also decides which ports serve TLS, so nothing is upgraded to `https` that can't answer it.

The node's app gate already served TLS on every app port; the dashboard was handing out http:// addresses regardless of how you reached it.

Ollama stays loopback-only — it is the assistant's local model backend, not a web app. The four apps retired earlier (FIPS, Nostr VPN, Routstr, Penpot) are finally dropped from the catalog, and Cuprate's manifest — which carried a duplicated metadata block that strict parsers reject — is fixed.</p>

The unsigned community catalog remains only as a fallback for nodes that can't reach the registry. The same signed catalog now also decides which ports serve TLS, so nothing is upgraded to https that can't answer it.</p>

+    "**What's New really does stop at v1.8.0 now.** The first correction removed old generated release blocks but missed six much older hand-written v1.2 sections at the bottom of the modal. Those sections are gone, and the release check now recognizes and rejects that legacy format too, so the history floor cannot falsely pass again.",
+    "**The installer carries the same corrected release and Companion 0.5.28.** Its artifact gate now checks the companion APK version and the v1.8.0 What's New floor inside the finished ISO, so a stale frontend or phone app cannot be published under the current release label.",
+    "**Crash dumps work on fresh installs as well as upgraded nodes.** The installer gate checks every kdump package inside the finished ISO, and `makedumpfile` is installed explicitly rather than accidentally relying on a recommended dependency that the minimal image deliberately omits.",
+    "**Apps open over HTTPS when your node does.** Connect to your node over HTTPS and the apps you open — Vaultwarden in its own tab, BTCPay, Grafana, and the rest, on a remote browser or in the phone's in-app browser — now open on the same secure connection instead of silently dropping to plain HTTP. The node's app gate already served TLS on every app port; the dashboard was handing out `http://` addresses regardless of how you reached it. Ports the gate does not front (plain-HTTP publishes, and the API ports like Cuprate's RPC) deliberately stay on `http` — `https` there would simply fail to connect. Plain-HTTP access (the kiosk, LAN browsing) is unchanged.",
+    "**Every app in the store is now a first-class platform app.** The last stragglers — Nginx Proxy Manager, Tailscale, Ollama, CryptPad, and AdGuard Home — now carry full manifests: the node's app gate fronts their web ports (TLS on the same port, the node login where appropriate, embedding fixes, Tor), installs go through the orchestrator like every other app, and their pins live in the signed catalog. Ollama stays loopback-only — it is the assistant's local model backend, not a web app. The four apps retired earlier (FIPS, Nostr VPN, Routstr, Penpot) are finally dropped from the catalog, and Cuprate's manifest — which carried a duplicated metadata block that strict parsers reject — is fixed.",
+    "**Newly signed apps appear in the App Store immediately.** The App Store now serves the release-signed catalog the node has already fetched and verified — so publishing a signed app (like Cuprate) makes it appear for every updated node without waiting for a dashboard release. The unsigned community catalog remains only as a fallback for nodes that can't reach the registry. The same signed catalog now also decides which ports serve TLS, so nothing is upgraded to `https` that can't answer it."
