chore: release v1.8.1-alpha

The hand-curated app-catalog/catalog.json is the release gate's drift
baseline; the generator syncs fields but never adds entries, so the two
new apps needed appending — fields taken verbatim from their manifests
(drift check green, 30 catalog / 58 manifest apps).

 # Changelog
 
+## v1.8.1-alpha (2026-08-13)
+
+- **Apps that refused to open inside the dashboard now embed like everything else.** Some apps ship browser headers that forbid being shown inside another page — correct hardening on the open web, but inside Archipelago it produced a dead grey pane when you opened them from My Apps (Alby Hub was the first to hit it). The app gate, which already checks your login on every request to an app, now removes just those framing headers on the way through; each app's own content-security rules pass through untouched. No more per-app proxy workarounds.
+- **The network map no longer freezes kiosk TVs.** The animated federation map at 4K was too much for the deliberately conservative graphics settings the on-screen display used on every machine — settings chosen years back to stop audio crackle on much older hardware. Two fixes: on kiosk screens the map now opens in its flat 2D view (the 3D globe is one tap away, and remembered) and animates at half rate — invisible from the couch, half the work. And the display itself now recognizes what machine it runs on: older kiosk boxes keep the proven careful settings, modern ones finally get real GPU rendering.
+- **New Settings → Display → Graphics choice for the on-screen display.** Auto (recommended) picks the right rendering mode for the machine by itself; Compatibility forces the most conservative mode if a screen ever stutters, tears, or crackles; Quality forces full GPU rendering on hardware the automatic detection doesn't recognize. Changing it restarts the on-screen display, like the size presets.
+
 ## v1.8.0-alpha (2026-08-12)
 
 - **Archipelago is now open source.** The full source code of the node you are running — the orchestrator, the dashboard, the app platform, the mesh, the release tooling — is published for anyone to read, build and audit at source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy. A node that holds your money, your files and your communications should not ask to be taken on faith: from this release onward you, or anyone you trust, can see exactly what it does and follow every change we make in the open.

-Use `metadata.launch.open_in_new_tab: true` when the app UI is known to reject iframe embedding with headers such as `X-Frame-Options` or restrictive CSP. The frontend app-session metadata is generated from this flag during release work.
+### Iframe embedding — the rules
+
+The dashboard opens apps in an **embedded frame** (My Apps → app session) by
+default. Whether that works is decided by HTTP headers, not by wishes, so
+know the mechanics:
+
+- Browsers refuse to render a page in an iframe when the response carries
+  `X-Frame-Options: DENY`/`SAMEORIGIN` (the dashboard and the app are
+  different origins — different port at minimum) or a CSP `frame-ancestors`
+  directive that excludes the dashboard's origin.
+- Many upstream apps ship exactly those headers (Alby Hub sends
+  `X-Frame-Options: DENY`). In a normal deployment that is correct hardening;
+  behind Archipelago's app gate the clickjacking threat those headers address
+  is already handled — every proxied request is authenticated by the gate
+  first.
+- Therefore **the gate neutralizes frame blocking on proxied responses**: it
+  removes `X-Frame-Options` and strips only the `frame-ancestors` directive
+  from the app's CSP. The rest of the app's CSP (script-src, connect-src, …)
+  passes through untouched — the gate never weakens the app's own content
+  policy, only its framing policy. You do not need a bespoke reverse proxy,
+  header patches, or app config to be embeddable.
+
+Set `metadata.launch.open_in_new_tab: true` only when embedding is broken by
+things headers can't fix — the app frame-busts in JavaScript, requires being
+the top-level origin (OAuth redirect flows, WebAuthn), or sets
+`SameSite=Strict` session cookies that never accompany framed requests. Test
+in the real embedded app session, **not** a plain browser tab: tabs don't
+enforce framing headers, so a tab proves nothing about the iframe.
+
+(Historical note: before the gate handled this, embeddable-but-blocking apps
+each carried a hand-built nginx strip proxy — gitea's port-3000 proxy is the
+surviving example. Do not copy that pattern for new apps.)

-1. Install via the marketplace UI or RPC:
-   ```bash
-   curl -b cookies.txt -X POST http://archipelago.local/rpc/v1 \
-     -d '{"method":"package.install","params":{"id":"my-app","dockerImage":"docker.io/myorg/my-app:1.0.0"}}'
-   ```
-2. Verify the container is running:
-   ```bash
-   curl -b cookies.txt -X POST http://archipelago.local/rpc/v1 \
-     -d '{"method":"container-list"}'
-   ```
-3. Check the UI. The app's detail page is `http://archipelago.local/dashboard/apps/my-app`; the embedded launch surface is `http://archipelago.local/dashboard/app-session/my-app`
+The App Store lists **signed-catalog apps and Nostr-discovered apps only** —
+a manifest on the node's disk never appears in the store by itself. That is
+deliberate: the store is a trust surface. But the orchestrator installs from
+disk manifests just fine, so you can test the complete install/run/uninstall
+lifecycle on your own node before your app is published anywhere.
+
+**1. Stage the manifest where it survives reboots.**
+
+`/opt/archipelago/apps/` is *rebuilt on every backend start* from the runtime
+payload that ships inside the frontend bundle
+(`/opt/archipelago/web-ui/archipelago-runtime/apps/`). If you copy your
+manifest only into `/opt/archipelago/apps/`, the next restart silently deletes
+it. Stage into the payload directory instead — the boot sync then promotes it
+for you:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/archipelago/web-ui/archipelago-runtime/apps/my-app
+sudo cp apps/my-app/manifest.yml /opt/archipelago/web-ui/archipelago-runtime/apps/my-app/
+sudo systemctl restart archipelago   # manifests are loaded at startup
+```
+
+Watch `journalctl -u archipelago` after the restart — the orchestrator
+validates every manifest on load and tells you about problems immediately
+(for example a host-port collision with another installed app).
+
+**2. Install over JSON-RPC.**
+
+The repo ships the same session helper the release lifecycle gate uses.
+Three things to know before using it: it needs `jq`; it reuses a cached
+session from `/tmp/archy-rpc-session-<uid>` unless `ARCHY_FORCE_LOGIN=1` is
+set (a stale cache fails every call quietly); and it sets `set -euo pipefail`,
+so run it inside a script or subshell — sourcing it into your interactive
+shell makes the first failed step kill the whole chain without printing
+anything.
+
+```bash
+bash <<'EOF'
+export ARCHY_PASSWORD='<your dashboard password>' ARCHY_FORCE_LOGIN=1
+# Stock nodes serve HTTPS on 443; dev boxes behind plain nginx use:
+#   export ARCHY_HOST=127.0.0.1 ARCHY_SCHEME=http
+source tests/lifecycle/lib/rpc.bash
+rpc_login && echo "login ok"
+# Both fields are required: `dockerImage` is normally supplied by the App
+# Store from the signed catalog — pre-catalog, you pass your manifest's
+# image yourself (it must match, and must come from a trusted registry).
+rpc_call package.install '{"id":"my-app","dockerImage":"docker.io/myorg/my-app:1.0.0"}'
+EOF
+```
+
+**3. Verify the lifecycle, not just the install:**
+
+```bash
+rpc_call package.status '{"id":"my-app"}'        # state + health (run inside the same subshell pattern)
+podman ps --filter name=my-app                   # container is up
+rpc_call package.stop '{"id":"my-app"}'          # …and start, restart
+sudo systemctl restart archipelago               # app must survive this
+rpc_call package.uninstall '{"id":"my-app","preserve_data":true}'
+rpc_call package.install '{"id":"my-app"}'       # data still there?
+```
+
+The app's detail page is `https://<node>/dashboard/apps/my-app`; a gated web
+UI is reachable through the app gate on its manifest port once running.
+
+Only after this loop is green does the app belong in a catalog submission —
+catalog inclusion is what makes it appear in the App Store.

-    "**Archipelago is now open source.** The full source code of the node you are running — the orchestrator, the dashboard, the app platform, the mesh, the release tooling — is published for anyone to read, build and audit at source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy. A node that holds your money, your files and your communications should not ask to be taken on faith: from this release onward you, or anyone you trust, can see exactly what it does and follow every change we make in the open.",
-    "**Installing an update is reliable again, and tells you what happened when it isn't.** Some nodes could download an update but never apply it — the button stayed on \"Install\", and no amount of retrying worked. The cause: applying the update consumed the downloaded files as it went, so if any one step hit a snag partway through, the leftover files were incomplete and every later attempt failed the safety re-check forever, needing a technician to recover. Applying no longer consumes the download — a failed apply can always be retried from the same files — and the pieces are now applied in a fixed order with the program itself last, so a hiccup can't leave a half-swapped node. When an apply does fail, the screen now shows the real reason and what to do (\"download the update again\"), and offers Download again instead of a dead \"Install\" button, rather than a generic \"it failed\".",
-    "**Video on the kiosk stops tearing.** The kiosk's display had no vertical sync at all, so fast motion — IndeedHub films especially — showed horizontal tearing lines. The display driver now syncs every frame to the panel (no extra hardware needed, existing kiosks pick it up with this update), and on machines with a GPU, video decoding moves off the CPU onto the video hardware — smoother playback that also leaves more headroom for audio, not less.",
-    "**The Back button finally does what you expect.** Pressing Back — the mouse's side button on a kiosk, a swipe on a phone, the toolbar button in any browser — used to navigate the screen underneath an open window, or leave the dashboard entirely. Back now closes the topmost open window first, one per press, exactly like a native app; closing a window yourself never leaves a phantom entry that makes you press Back twice.",
-    "**No more bare IP addresses in your update or app-registry settings.** The update mirrors and the app registry each listed the same server twice — once by its proper name, once as a raw `http://146…` address left over from before the domain existed. The raw-address entries are retired: new nodes never see them, and existing nodes clean them out of their saved lists automatically on the next read. Everything now goes through the named, TLS-protected origin — which was always the same machine.",
-    "**The phone companion app downloads over the proper domain.** The download QR pointed at a raw address over plain HTTP; it now points at the same file on the https domain. Scanning it gets you an encrypted download from a named server.",
-    "**The Receive window now tells you when the money is on its way.** Previously it showed a QR code and left you to check elsewhere whether anything happened. Now, the moment the sender's transaction is broadcast, the QR gives way to a clock: the amount, the transaction ID (tap to copy), and a note that the funds arrive on their own — with a single Done button. If you keep the window open, the clock becomes a green check at the first confirmation. Verified live on a real node: payment detected within seconds of broadcast."

   "changelog": [
-    "**Archipelago is now open source.** The full source code of the node you are running — the orchestrator, the dashboard, the app platform, the mesh, the release tooling — is published for anyone to read, build and audit at source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy. A node that holds your money, your files and your communications should not ask to be taken on faith: from this release onward you, or anyone you trust, can see exactly what it does and follow every change we make in the open.",
-    "**Installing an update is reliable again, and tells you what happened when it isn't.** Some nodes could download an update but never apply it — the button stayed on \"Install\", and no amount of retrying worked. The cause: applying the update consumed the downloaded files as it went, so if any one step hit a snag partway through, the leftover files were incomplete and every later attempt failed the safety re-check forever, needing a technician to recover. Applying no longer consumes the download — a failed apply can always be retried from the same files — and the pieces are now applied in a fixed order with the program itself last, so a hiccup can't leave a half-swapped node. When an apply does fail, the screen now shows the real reason and what to do (\"download the update again\"), and offers Download again instead of a dead \"Install\" button, rather than a generic \"it failed\".",
-    "**Video on the kiosk stops tearing.** The kiosk's display had no vertical sync at all, so fast motion — IndeedHub films especially — showed horizontal tearing lines. The display driver now syncs every frame to the panel (no extra hardware needed, existing kiosks pick it up with this update), and on machines with a GPU, video decoding moves off the CPU onto the video hardware — smoother playback that also leaves more headroom for audio, not less.",
-    "**The Back button finally does what you expect.** Pressing Back — the mouse's side button on a kiosk, a swipe on a phone, the toolbar button in any browser — used to navigate the screen underneath an open window, or leave the dashboard entirely. Back now closes the topmost open window first, one per press, exactly like a native app; closing a window yourself never leaves a phantom entry that makes you press Back twice.",
-    "**No more bare IP addresses in your update or app-registry settings.** The update mirrors and the app registry each listed the same server twice — once by its proper name, once as a raw `http://146…` address left over from before the domain existed. The raw-address entries are retired: new nodes never see them, and existing nodes clean them out of their saved lists automatically on the next read. Everything now goes through the named, TLS-protected origin — which was always the same machine.",
-    "**The phone companion app downloads over the proper domain.** The download QR pointed at a raw address over plain HTTP; it now points at the same file on the https domain. Scanning it gets you an encrypted download from a named server.",
-    "**The Receive window now tells you when the money is on its way.** Previously it showed a QR code and left you to check elsewhere whether anything happened. Now, the moment the sender's transaction is broadcast, the QR gives way to a clock: the amount, the transaction ID (tap to copy), and a note that the funds arrive on their own — with a single Done button. If you keep the window open, the clock becomes a green check at the first confirmation. Verified live on a real node: payment detected within seconds of broadcast."
+    "**Apps that refused to open inside the dashboard now embed like everything else.** Some apps ship browser headers that forbid being shown inside another page — correct hardening on the open web, but inside Archipelago it produced a dead grey pane when you opened them from My Apps (Alby Hub was the first to hit it). The app gate, which already checks your login on every request to an app, now removes just those framing headers on the way through; each app's own content-security rules pass through untouched. No more per-app proxy workarounds.",
+    "**The network map no longer freezes kiosk TVs.** The animated federation map at 4K was too much for the deliberately conservative graphics settings the on-screen display used on every machine — settings chosen years back to stop audio crackle on much older hardware. Two fixes: on kiosk screens the map now opens in its flat 2D view (the 3D globe is one tap away, and remembered) and animates at half rate — invisible from the couch, half the work. And the display itself now recognizes what machine it runs on: older kiosk boxes keep the proven careful settings, modern ones finally get real GPU rendering.",
+    "**New Settings → Display → Graphics choice for the on-screen display.** Auto (recommended) picks the right rendering mode for the machine by itself; Compatibility forces the most conservative mode if a screen ever stutters, tears, or crackles; Quality forces full GPU rendering on hardware the automatic detection doesn't recognize. Changing it restarts the on-screen display, like the size presets."
