fix: fence terminal arrow keys from global navigation

Preserve current maintenance/session guards, Firewall UI and existing catalogs.
Retain scoped guest access, publishing journeys and local Blossom integration.
Normalize Blossom/router memory units to supported quadlet suffixes.

Validation: 108 dashboard tests, 10 gateway policy tests, strict source catalog
check. Integrated isolated backend qualification remains required before main.

+
+# Archipelago app development
+
+Use this skill when creating or changing an Archipelago app, manifest, container
+build, app integration, credentials, signer flow, or app preview. Always load
+`archipelago-design` for newly authored UI.
+
+Read [app-contract.md](references/app-contract.md),
+`docs/app-developer-guide.md`, and `docs/app-manifest-spec.md` before coding.
+
+## Required loop
+
+1. Create a dedicated worktree or project directory and choose the smallest
+   useful app scope. Prefer the maintained starter and its pinned dependencies.
+2. Implement the app as a manifest, rootless container, persistent data path,
+   truthful health/readiness check, declared interface, and tests. Never add a
+   per-app Rust installer or rootful/Docker-socket shortcut.
+3. Use generated secrets or declared secret files; never put credentials in a
+   manifest, image, logs, URL, or frontend bundle. Keep production wallets and
+   app databases outside development fixtures.
+4. Validate the manifest and build context, then run the app through install,
+   start, stop, restart, manager restart, uninstall with data preservation, and
+   reinstall. Verify the real My Apps/Services launch path, not only a direct
+   port.
+5. For UI, exercise standalone and embedded modes at 320, 390, 768, and 1440px
+   plus phone landscape, keyboard navigation, loading/empty/error/retry/success,
+   safe areas, and reduced motion.
+6. Report source, disposable-node, actual-node, and release-artifact evidence
+   separately. Catalog publication is a separate request.
+
+Important runtime facts:
+
+- `/opt/archipelago/apps` is rebuilt from the runtime payload at backend start;
+  staging only there will be lost. Follow the developer guide's payload path.
+- Signed catalog entries take precedence over disk manifests for catalog apps.
+- Installed does not mean ready or launchable; use health and readiness evidence.
+- App interfaces describe the service behind the gate. Do not hard-code a node
+  IP, scheme, app path, or host frame URL into app code.

+# App contract
+
+Start with `docs/app-developer-guide.md` and `docs/app-manifest-spec.md`; those

+Use pinned image versions, read-only root, no-new-privileges, minimal
+capabilities, rootless Podman, declared persistent data under
+`/var/lib/archipelago/<id>`, health checks, generated/declared secrets, and
+truthful interfaces. Test install/start/stop/restart/manager-restart/uninstall

+
+# Archipelago design system
+
+Use this skill for any new or changed Archipelago UI, including app screens,
+Terminal, setup flows, dialogs, dashboards, and app wrappers. Read
+[design-contract.md](references/design-contract.md) before implementation.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Find and reuse the closest shared component and pattern before creating one.
+- Use semantic `--archy-*` tokens and the pinned kit version. A bespoke color,
+  font, radius, shadow, or z-index needs a documented reason.
+- Preserve the dark baseline, readable surfaces, 4px spacing rhythm, bottom
+  action placement, 44px touch targets, visible focus, and safe-area behavior.
+- Keep terminal/editor/tmux keys inside the terminal focus boundary; generic
+  modal Escape/arrow handlers must not consume them.
+- Implement loading, empty, offline, denied, validation-error, retry, disabled,
+  and confirmed-success states. Status color must have text or icon support.
+- Test standalone and embedded modes. Embedded apps do not duplicate the host
+  wallpaper or navigation and must work without a host handshake.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Read the reference screen and source; choose the matching component/pattern.
+2. Build with the shared kit and local assets, not runtime dashboard CSS or CDN
+   fonts. Keep host RPC, signer, and credential bridges behind typed adapters.
+3. Render the gallery/preview at required viewports and inspect screenshots and
+   keyboard behavior. Check contrast on the real composited surface.
+4. Record deliberate exceptions and update the kit only when a reusable need is
+   demonstrated. Do not silently accept visual-diff changes.

+metadata:
+  short-description: Work safely on Archipelago systems
+---
+
+# Archipelago system work
+
+Use this skill for node configuration, terminal/developer setup, service
+diagnosis, network and SSH work, supported app operations, and system changes.
+For app implementation load `archipelago-app`; for any new or changed UI also
+load `archipelago-design`.
+
+Read [system-map.md](references/system-map.md) before acting. Read `AGENTS.md`
+and the relevant project documentation in the current checkout.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Identify the node, repository/worktree, owner, and whether the request is
+   planning, source work, a disposable test, or a live-node operation.
+2. Inspect current state before changing it. Prefer `archy`/Archipelago RPC
+   operations and existing scripts over direct edits or ad-hoc service commands.
+3. Preserve wallets, app data, credentials, user uninstall decisions, and
+   unrelated services. Back up only the scoped state before a mutation.
+4. Make the smallest reversible change. Keep generated state separate from
+   user overrides; never edit generated or packaged files when an owned source
+   or managed override exists.
+5. Verify the actual result and report source tests, disposable integration,
+   live-node acceptance, and packaged-artifact checks separately.
+
+For repository work, use a dedicated worktree and focused branch. For backend
+unit tests use `scripts/test-backend-isolated.sh`; do not run unrestricted
+`cargo test` on a node with installed apps. Do not publish OTA, ISO, catalog,
+or Git mirrors from this skill unless that publication is explicitly requested
+and every release gate is satisfied.
+
+## Terminal and sessions
+
+Treat terminal close as detach. Resume the existing named session; never create
+a duplicate shell or replay a lost command. A reboot can restore workspace and
+Codex conversation metadata but cannot restore the old process. Distinguish
+running, detached, ended, and interrupted states in user-facing output.
+
+Keep credentials, wallet material, terminal output, and command contents out of
+diagnostics and support bundles. A terminal is a privileged capability: verify
+the authenticated owner, origin, attachment grant, and account boundary before
+any PTY bytes flow.

+Use the existing typed RPC and orchestration layers for app lifecycle, network,

+For every change, including fixes and release preparation:
+
+- Review and merge once. Push the exact same resulting commits to both mirrors;
+  never independently squash, rebase or merge the same change on each platform.
+- Open new contributions and PRs on ngit; review and merge there, then mirror the

+  merge commit in the release ledger. Existing Gitea PRs must be reviewed and
+  explicitly linked to their ngit replacement or accepted result before closing;
+  do not abandon contributions or mark unmerged changes as merged. PR numbers,
+  reviews and discussions remain platform-specific; matching Git refs does not
+  prove their synchronization.
+- Push main and release tags to both mirrors. Preserve commit history
+  and annotated tag objects/signatures. Do not resolve drift by force pushing,
+  deleting remote refs, or rewriting published history without explicit approval.
+- After publishing source, run `python3 scripts/check-git-mirrors.py --local`.
+  Include each additional shared branch or release tag with repeated `--ref`
+  arguments (full `refs/heads/...` or `refs/tags/...` names).
+- Before OTA, catalog or ISO publication, require matching reviewed local and
+  remote main and release tag refs, and record ngit PR dispositions in the
+  release acceptance ledger. A failed push, unavailable mirror, missing ref or
+  mismatch blocks publication; never describe a partial push as synchronized.
+  Run `--all` for a complete advertised branch/tag audit; a main-only pass must
+  never be described as full historical mirror parity. Proposal-only branches
+  may intentionally differ. Existing unrelated drift
+  must be inventoried explicitly rather than silently overwritten.

 # Changelog
 
-## Unreleased
+## v1.9.0-alpha (2026-10-05)
+
+Unpublished release candidate; qualification is still in progress.
+
+- Keep Cuprate and NetBird supporting components out of app listings and consolidate BTCPay Server under Commerce.
+- Default on-chain sends, channel opens and cooperative closes to a dynamic next-block fee target, preserving explicit slower and custom choices.
+- Add reviewed fee-bump quotes, explicit budgets and durable operation tracking for supported wallet transactions.
+- Preserve Nginx Proxy Manager storage, same-node upstream connectivity, certificates and access controls through managed migrations.
+- Restrict public management access while retaining configured public apps and ACME certificate validation.
+- Serve the Mempool explorer on the Angor indexer origin alongside its API.
+- Include the self-contained LoRa flashing tool and explicit board selection in update and installer payloads.
+- Preserve paid-file Lightning entitlements across restarts and recover settled invoices from LND. Retry delivery without paying again and retain purchased files in the owned cache.
+- Return explicit payment-status errors with safe retry guidance when verification is unavailable.
+- Keep upload progress on its original screen, show completion there or notify on other screens, and cancel active and queued uploads.
+- Resume interrupted uploads while the app remains open, preserve the original destination, and verify saved file contents before reporting completion.
+- Provision a unique private File Browser login on each node while keeping Cloud sign-in automatic and preserving existing accounts and files.
+- Update Nostr dependencies to reject forged relay events and oversized encrypted messages; preserve native signing and encryption compatibility.
+- Allow apps to opt in to a validated public-key list of user identities without granting signing access.
+- Make transaction filters transparent and horizontally scrollable on mobile.
+- Keep Immich internal services out of My Apps, avoid false recovery states for healthy stacks, and allow removal of retired catalog apps.
+- Repair the redundant managed Portainer network override that can prevent startup, preserving custom overrides and persistent state.
+- Offer Standard, Medium, Fast and custom fees when cooperatively closing Lightning channels.
+- Add a clear-search icon to My Apps, Services and the App Store on desktop and mobile.
+- Keep Angor Indexer and the optional Angor Relay in the signed app catalog. Full indexing requires a synced, unpruned Bitcoin node and its indexing dependencies.
+
+## v1.8.22-alpha (2026-09-30)
+
+- Fixed Nginx Proxy Manager launch readiness choosing a proxy listener instead of its admin port after container recreation.
+
+- Network diagnostic failures no longer stop all apps or rebuild shared container networking.
+- Prevented orphaned companion dashboards from repeatedly reinstalling themselves after their backend app was removed.
+- Fixed companion dashboard builds still referencing a retired image registry.
+
+- Fixed Angor Indexer health checks choosing IPv6 localhost for an IPv4 listener and unnecessarily restarting the working service.
+
+- Prevented false app restarts by probing each published port at its actual bind address; Nginx Proxy Manager now checks its internal admin API.
+- Added a backed-up migration for the recognized legacy Nginx Proxy Manager tunnel/LND port conflict in both OTA and ISO startup paths.
+
+- Checked Bitcoin and Electrum companion dashboards instead of backend protocol ports, preserving dashboard access during initial sync.
+- Removed web-interface waiting messages from headless services such as Phoenixd and clarified which interface is unavailable for launchable apps.
+
+- Finished runtime app-file promotion before manifest loading, preventing startup catalog refresh from forgetting disk-only apps.
+
+- Named the app in compact readiness messages and kept app-card actions aligned at the bottom.
+- Removed duplicate Mempool cards caused by frontend container aliases in restored inventory.
+
+- Kept installed apps visible through restarts and hard refreshes, and delayed app launches until their web interface is ready.
+- Made Bitcoin version selection readable and usable in the ThinkPad kiosk, above the pruning settings.
+- Restored GitWorkshop build files in installation/update payloads and made slow image-pull progress clearer.
+- Fixed same-node Gitea access from Portainer, with persistent runtime migration, state backups and recovery after failed restarts.
+- Preserved Gitea configuration and SSH operation during fresh setup and upgrades.
+- Improved paid-file delivery, saved-file permissions and repeat-download compatibility; verified Tor-only payment with change, rejection refunds and free repeat downloads.
+- Added a headless Angor Indexer service using the existing Mempool/ElectrumX stack, and an optional separate Angor relay.
+- Prevented manifest command arguments containing apostrophes from being corrupted in generated services.

+## Install on a server
+
+Use a dedicated **x86_64 Intel/AMD server, mini PC, or PC**, an SSD, and an
+8 GB or larger USB drive. For Bitcoin and multiple apps, 8 GB or more RAM and
+a generously sized SSD are recommended; an unpruned Bitcoin node needs room
+for the growing blockchain. Connect Ethernet and a monitor/keyboard, or use
+your server's remote console and virtual installation media.
+
+1. **Download the installer and checksum:**
+   - [Archipelago 1.9.0-alpha ISO](https://source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy/releases/download/v1.9.0-alpha/archipelago-installer-1.9.0-alpha-unbundled-x86_64.iso) (approximately 2.7 GB).
+   - [SHA-256 checksum](https://source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy/releases/download/v1.9.0-alpha/archipelago-installer-1.9.0-alpha-unbundled-x86_64.iso.sha256).
+   - [Signed checksum JSON](https://source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy/releases/download/v1.9.0-alpha/archipelago-installer-1.9.0-alpha-unbundled-x86_64.iso.sha256.json).
+2. **Verify the download.** Save the ISO and `.sha256` file together, then on
+   Linux run:
+
+   ```bash
+   sha256sum --check archipelago-installer-1.9.0-alpha-unbundled-x86_64.iso.sha256
+   ```
+
+   The result must be `OK`. This checks file integrity; the signed JSON is
+   provided separately for release-signature verification.
+3. **Write the ISO to USB** using [Balena Etcher](https://etcher.balena.io/) or
+   your preferred image writer. Write the image rather than copying the ISO
+   into the USB filesystem. For a remotely managed server, attach the ISO as
+   virtual installation media instead. This is a raw `.iso`; no decompression
+   is needed.
+4. **Boot the server from that media.** Disable Secure Boot for this installer
+   and follow the console installation prompts. **Installation erases the
+   selected target disk**, so back up its contents and check the disk selection
+   carefully.
+5. **Remove/eject the installation media and boot from the installed disk.**
+   Find the server's address in your router's DHCP client list or local console,
+   then open `http://<server-ip>` from another device on the same network.
+6. **Complete first-run setup:** create your dashboard password and follow the
+   onboarding wizard to choose apps and Bitcoin storage settings. The unbundled
+   ISO downloads app images as needed, so allow internet access for app setup.
+
+For an existing Archipelago server, use the dashboard's **Settings** update
+flow for a published OTA rather than reinstalling. See the
+[user walkthrough](docs/user-walkthrough.md) for onboarding and daily use.
+
+**This remains alpha software: funds are at your own risk, and production
+security hardening is still ahead.**

+# Angor Indexer
+
+Mainnet indexer endpoint for Angor, serving the existing Mempool explorer at
+the same origin. The service reuses this node's Mempool frontend/backend and
+Electrum index instead of creating another explorer or blockchain database.
+An unpruned, fully synced Bitcoin node is required. Installing against a pruned
+node must show the existing archival-node requirement; it must never silently
+unprune or replace its Bitcoin data.
+
+## Connect Angor
+
+Install **Angor Indexer** in the store. Its API appears under **Services**.
+In Angor settings, use `http://<node-address>:8998/` as the custom indexer origin.
+The `/health` endpoint reports readiness against Mempool's indexed block height;
+it returns 503 while that backend is unavailable. Index building may take time.
+
+Browser clients require a reachable HTTPS origin with a trusted certificate.
+Configure your HTTPS reverse proxy to forward to port 8998, then use that HTTPS
+origin in Angor. Do not disable browser TLS checks. The API supports both
+`/api/v1/` and `/api/` paths, transaction broadcast, and CORS without cookies.
+
+This endpoint intentionally exposes public blockchain queries and transaction
+broadcast through the app gate without dashboard-cookie login. It has no Bitcoin
+RPC password, wallet keys, or persistent wallet data. The backend stays on the
+managed container network; its private port does not become publicly exposed.
+You can change network access using the node's normal access controls.
+
+## Relay
+
+A relay is optional. Angor can continue using its configured external relays.
+Install **Angor Relay** separately to host project metadata locally, then add
+`ws://<node-address>:8091/` in Angor, or a trusted `wss://` proxy origin for browser
+clients. Its storage and configuration are separate from the node's internal
+relay; installing or uninstalling it does not change the internal relay.
+
+## Verify the complete client flow
+
+The root URL opens the Mempool explorer. `/health` and fee
+estimates establish API availability; they do not prove that project discovery,
+address history, or browser CORS works. Test a known funded project's address
+history, its original Nostr announcement, the Explore page, and project details
+in the actual Angor client. A certificate alone does not establish public routing.
+
+Keep existing discovery relays when adding a new relay. A new relay has no
+historical project data and does not automatically replicate other relays.
+Even with existing relays, an empty Explore page can be a client discovery
+failure: Angor Hub v2.0.0 was observed to stop after a batch whose announcements
+all failed on-chain validation. The same failure reproduced with our indexer
+and Angor's public indexer. Do not bypass the funding transaction's event-ID
+commitment or substitute an unsigned announcement to make a project appear.
+
+For opt-in read-only browser acceptance, install the frontend test dependencies
+and Playwright Chromium, then run:
+
+```sh
+ANGOR_TEST_INDEXER=https://indexer.example.com/ \
+ANGOR_TEST_RELAY=wss://relay.example.com/ \
+ANGOR_TEST_RELAYS='["wss://relay.angor.io","wss://relay.example.com/"]' \
+node tests/lifecycle/angor-public-browser.cjs
+```
+
+The relay under test must already contain the known original public project
+announcement documented in the test. The test does not import events, send
+funds, change your browser profile, or disable TLS verification. It checks the
+funding transaction/event commitment and real browser discovery and details.
+Relay signed writes, invalid-signature rejection, persistence, full node sync,
+and proxy upgrade/renewal tests remain separate acceptance requirements.
+
+## Packaging
+
+Build the pinned image with:
+
+```
+podman build -t source.archipelago-foundation.org/chaum/angor-indexer:1.0.2 apps/angor-indexer/container
+```
+
+The image runs as UID 101 with a read-only root filesystem and no capabilities.
+Only temporary nginx state is writable. Runtime DNS is read from resolv.conf so
+Mempool recreation does not require editing IP addresses or restarting this app.
+No app-specific Rust installer is required.
+
+Source documentation: [Angor's official deployment guide](https://github.com/block-core/angor/blob/869dd43cf38332dd7128a284a6bf4c1cac44c1a7/docker/DEPLOY-INDEXER-AND-RELAY.md).
+The app icon is based on [Angor’s dark-mode app icon](https://angor.io/images/app-icon-dark-mode.png), retrieved 2026-09-30. At the operator’s request, the outer corners use the same green as the background. The built-in imagegen edit preserved the black mark and filled the square green; the project asset is `neode-ui/public/assets/img/app-icons/angor-green.png`.
+
+Tests and release acceptance are recorded in the next-release checklist. The
+health probe establishes backend availability, not a guarantee that every
+address query is indexed at the latest Bitcoin tip.
+
+Install Mempool Explorer first. The declarative `install_prerequisites` check
+refuses a new adapter installation if its Mempool API component is absent, before
+creating an installed-app record. It does not install or resync Bitcoin for you.
+
+## Explorer on the public indexer origin
+
+The linked official deployment guide exposes **Mempool frontend and API together**
+on the public indexer URL. It uses standard Mempool images and requires no custom
+Angor fork or `ANGOR_ENABLED` flag.
+
+The operator now requires that same browser experience: opening the configured
+indexer domain must show the existing Mempool explorer, while Angor API requests
+continue working on that origin. Reuse the existing Mempool stack, including its
+live WebSocket feed; do not install a second explorer or blockchain database.
+
+**Candidate 1.0.2:** `/` and frontend paths proxy to the existing Mempool
+frontend; `/api/`, `/api/v1/`, `/health` and the WebSocket feed retain their
+indexer routes. Version 1.0.1 served only service JSON at `/`. The candidate
+remains pending deployment/release acceptance, which must cover assets and deep links,
+desktop/mobile rendering, WebSocket updates, API/CORS/broadcast, trusted HTTPS,
+restart/upgrade and management-access isolation before documenting it as shipped.

+# Angor Relay
+
+Optional standalone strfry relay for Angor's public project metadata. See
+[Angor Indexer setup](../angor-indexer/README.md) for client URLs and HTTPS/WSS.
+
+The gate exposes port 8091 for Nostr clients. strfry validates event signatures;
+this is a public relay, not a private messaging archive. It mounts only
+`/var/lib/archipelago/angor-relay` and its separate configuration directory.
+It never opens, reconfigures or shares the node's internal strfry database.
+
+For a public domain, proxy HTTPS to node port **8091**, enable WebSocket upgrade,
+and add `wss://your-relay-domain/` in Angor. Test both NIP-11 metadata (send
+`Accept: application/nostr+json`) and a real Nostr subscription over WSS. An
+Archipelago login page at this domain is a routing failure, not relay readiness.
+
+New relays start without project history. Keep existing discovery relays alongside
+yours until the needed original signed announcements and metadata are available
+locally. Relays do not automatically synchronize. Any history import must retain
+the original event IDs and signatures; verify funded projects against their
+on-chain commitments. A working WebSocket with zero stored events is not proof
+that the client's project discovery works. See the indexer README's browser test.
+
+The configuration is seeded only when absent, preserving operator changes.
+Stop the service before making a consistent backup of its event database.
+Ordinary start/restart/recreation preserves both mounts. Use the standard app
+lifecycle; do not manually recreate a systemd-managed container.

+# Blossom on Archipelago
+
+Candidate package, not a published catalogue release. Follow
+[`docs/app-developer-guide.md`](../../docs/app-developer-guide.md) and
+[`docs/candidate-catalog-qualification.md`](../../docs/candidate-catalog-qualification.md)
+for lifecycle and catalogue acceptance.
+
+## Package contract
+
+- MIT upstream `hzrd149/blossom-server` 6.4.1, source commit
+  `a492dc61c4a581bbd0992546b2aec6f9aa543f75`. The Dockerfile verifies the source
+  archive SHA-256 and uses upstream's frozen dependency lock for the server.
+- Manifest-owned local build; the runtime payload must include `docker/blossom`.
+  No unpublished registry image is advertised. Initial installation needs access
+  to the open-source build dependencies; normal startup uses cached dependencies.
+- Rootless container, read-only root, no capabilities, no new privileges,
+  explicit `slirp4netns`. Host port 8191 binds IPv4 loopback behind AppGate.
+  Keep that private backend binding: any FIPS/IPv6 ingress belongs at the gate.
+- Persistent data and SQLite under `/var/lib/archipelago/blossom/data`.
+  Preserve this directory on uninstall. No automatic expiry/pruning, automatic
+  mirroring, media conversion, or upstream administration dashboard.
+- Uploads require BUD-11 signatures from the profile identities supplied by
+  `{{NODE_IDENTITY_PUBKEYS}}`. No profile means startup fails closed. Changes to
+  that allowlist take effect on restart, including revocation of removed profiles.
+  The appliance identity is excluded. Listing requires the owner's signature.
+- The custom local UI loads the canonical, host-managed `nostr-provider.js`
+  through the documented lifecycle hook. A missing provider fails verification.
+  The UI uses the platform identity chooser and ordinary NIP-07 signing; there
+  is no generated browser key, nsec input, or second consent modal.
+- Upload authorization is scoped to the file hash, actual server hostname and
+  five-minute expiry. Local upload does not send a public Nostr announcement.
+- Uploaded files are returned as sandboxed attachments. Untrusted HTML/SVG must
+  not acquire this app's origin or signer access. Published website rendering
+  needs the separate website origin, not a relaxation of this policy.
+
+AppGate protects reads as well as the UI. Blossom itself is content-addressed,
+not an encrypted per-user vault: other authorized node users who know a hash can
+retrieve its bytes. Do not open the whole app gate to publish one website. Public
+asset serving must authorize exact selected hashes; external replication requires
+its own explicit content/destination review. An inaccessible local URL is not a
+working public Blossom endpoint.
+
+## Qualification evidence — 2026-10-08
+
+- Manifest preflight: 16 passed, no warnings. Generated catalogue drift: zero.
+- Candidate built and started on Framework with read-only root and the declared
+  resource/security constraints. All protocol tests use synthetic identities and
+  files; no public relay or external Blossom server is contacted.
+- `tests/apps/blossom/protocol.ts` passed against the candidate: authenticated
+  upload/readback, exact hash/size/bytes, wrong identity/server/expired/anonymous
+  upload rejection, owner-only listing, disabled mirror, canonical provider and
+  health endpoint. HTML response has sandbox CSP and attachment headers.
+- Fixture survived container recreation with the same data directory and restart
+  with explicit slirp4netns. An earlier test using Podman's default pasta hit a
+  transient port teardown conflict; that is not the package's configured network.
+- Canonical Rust parser: all shipped manifests parse in the isolated test runner.
+- Setup/source tests: 13 passed, dashboard typecheck passed including the final
+  receipt-review presentation changes.
+- Packaged UI passed a real Chromium test at mobile width: explicit identity
+  chooser, consent before upload, signer refusal blocks upload, hash/host-scoped
+  upload, consent reset and no external requests. Signer and upload transport
+  were mocked for this UI test; live protocol checks above are separate.
+- Framework's normal installer succeeded after the operator temporarily disabled
+  dashboard 2FA. Candidate manifest and build context are staged in the runtime
+  payload. The app is healthy, with its canonical bridge installed by the hook,
+  read-only root, slirp4netns and a loopback backend behind AppGate. Anonymous
+  HTTPS access on port 8191 returns the gate's 401 sign-in page.
+- Real HTTPS tab signer acceptance passed: profile chooser, refusal prevents any
+  upload, and an approved BUD-11 authorization stores a synthetic local file.
+  No real identity key was exported or public Nostr event sent. Existing native
+  Bitcoin/LND processes retained their original start times during installation.
+- No signed catalogue, source proposal, public Nostr event, OTA or ISO published.
+
+- Real HTTP tab signing also passed. Normal app stop/start, restart with a new
+  container, uninstall with `preserve_data:true`, reinstall, and management restart
+  all preserved the uploaded synthetic file, verified by hash. Native Bitcoin/LND
+  processes retained their original start times.
+- Local website archive integration is implemented in source: an explicit action
+  signs a hash/server-scoped upload, stores the saved draft through the local
+  manifest-owned Blossom backend, verifies exact readback and records a receipt.
+  It does not announce or replicate anything. Its backend RPC is not yet deployed.
+
+Still required before release: cross-profile identity switch (only one profile
+was available), HTTP/HTTPS iframe and physical companion validation, arranged
+reboot, integrated website archive acceptance, then reviewed source/mirror parity
+and signed catalogue gates. Selective public asset routes remain separate work;
+the authenticated app address must never be advertised as a public Blossom URL.
+Restore dashboard 2FA with the operator after live testing.
+
+### Companion follow-up — 2026-10-08
+
+Blossom now requests the canonical identity chooser once when opened, identifies
+itself explicitly to the tab signer, and disables the provider's unrelated
+NIP-98 web-app login. Cancelled selection leaves a retry button; uploads still
+require file review and signer approval. A host signer bug sent a Vue reactive
+Proxy through postMessage after selection, closing the picker but stranding the
+app behind an empty signer. The host now copies only public identity fields.
+The reactive-object regression test and a real direct-app mobile-width browser
+check pass: automatic chooser, closed signer, visible app, denied upload and
+approved local upload. Physical companion confirmation remains pending.
+The corrected image is a private rebuild of the existing candidate tag; assign
+an updated package/image version before reviewed catalogue publication.

+# DATUM on Archipelago
+
+Packages OCEAN DATUM v0.4.1beta, pinned to upstream commit
+`5b061233a3d3323771b2be98e17f543e59346619`. The local build context must ship at
+`/opt/archipelago/docker/datum`; no published registry image is assumed.
+
+## First launch
+
+Install a Bitcoin node and allow it to synchronize, then install DATUM. Open its
+app tile and set your own Bitcoin payout address in DATUM's configuration page.
+The initial address is deliberately empty: upstream keeps the UI available while
+waiting for a valid address instead of mining to somebody else's address.
+The admin username is `admin`. The generated password is stored on the node at
+`/var/lib/archipelago/secrets/datum-admin-password`; retrieve it locally as the
+node administrator. Do not put it in miner passwords or share it with miners.
+
+Point miners at `stratum+tcp://<node-LAN-hostname>:23334`. Use a unique worker
+name for every miner, following upstream's payout/worker naming rules:
+https://github.com/OCEAN-xyz/datum_gateway/blob/v0.4.1beta/doc/usernames.md
+The default is pooled mining only; loss of the pool connection stops mining
+rather than silently switching to solo mining. DATUM's web UI reports template,
+Bitcoin and pool readiness; an HTTP health check only proves the UI is alive.
+
+## Stable connections
+
+Gashboard connects inside `archy-net` to `http://datum:7152`, using Podman's DNS
+alias. Never copy a container IP into either app's configuration. Bitcoin's DNS
+name is resolved from `BITCOIN_HOST` on each start, and the shared RPC secret and
+DATUM admin secret are refreshed without discarding the operator's settings.
+
+External miners connect to the **node**, not its container. Use a DHCP reservation
+on your router and a LAN DNS name if the miner supports DNS. Some miners do not
+support mDNS (`.local`); use the reserved LAN IP for those. Container DNS fixes
+container recreation, while the reservation prevents the node's DHCP address
+from moving. Neither setting requires host networking.
+
+Only Stratum is published directly. The admin UI is loopback-bound behind the
+Archipelago app gate and retains DATUM's admin authentication. The backend uses
+upstream's block notification polling fallback, so installing DATUM does not
+rewrite or restart Bitcoin to add a `blocknotify` command.
+
+## Data and validation
+
+Settings live in `/var/lib/archipelago/datum/config.json` with mode 0600. Preserve
+that directory and the platform secrets when uninstalling/reinstalling.
+
+Before catalog publication, validate install, setup, Bitcoin IBD and recovery,
+accepted shares from a real miner, stop/start, container recreation, preserved-data
+reinstall, backend restart and a controlled node reboot. Verify Gashboard recovers
+after DATUM receives a different container address. These live-node checks are
+separate from the local manifest/build checks and require a dedicated test node.
+
+## Local validation (2026-10-06)
+
+The pinned image builds on Linux/amd64. Its UI returns HTTP 200 while waiting
+for setup, `/clients` rejects unauthenticated requests, and its config is 0600.
+The container runs with read-only root, cap-drop ALL and no-new-privileges.
+Three config regression tests cover empty first-run payout, preserved payout
+policy (including explicit false settings), secret/DNS refresh and invalid input.
+Gashboard successfully polls this image using digest authentication and reconnects
+when its container IP changes. Manifest preflight and generated catalog drift
+checks pass. The catalog entries in this branch are review candidates; no signed
+catalog or image has been published. Real mining shares and full lifecycle acceptance remain required before release.
+
+## Operator-authorized node deployment (2026-10-06)
+
+Installed as rootless Podman apps on archi-dev-box and yaya-server, with the
+manifest and build context staged in the runtime payload. Both nodes report
+DATUM healthy. Chromium verified the normalized My Apps icon, title, Launch
+button, and embedded native UI with its Config navigation on both nodes.
+
+On yaya, a normal package restart recreated DATUM at 10.89.0.11 instead of
+10.89.0.9. Its configuration checksum was unchanged, and the still-running
+Gashboard resolved `datum` to the new address and resumed successful authenticated
+polling. Existing app container IDs remained unchanged on both hosts.
+
+The payout address remains unset. HTTP health proves that setup is available,
+not that Bitcoin/pool readiness or accepted mining shares have been established.
+No node reboot, IBD experiment, preserved-data reinstall, signed catalog release,
+or registry publication was performed in this deployment.
+
+The deployed platform drops manifest UI/icon metadata from its initial Installing
+placeholder, briefly showing a disk-only app under Services. Once scanned, both
+apps appear in My Apps with their declared icons and launch interfaces. A separate
+platform fix is being prepared; do not claim the installation-placeholder issue
+is fixed merely because the completed installation is displayed correctly.

+# Gashboard on Archipelago
+
+Install DATUM and configure its payout address, then install Gashboard. The app
+connects to `http://datum:7152` on `archy-net`, so recreating DATUM does not require
+copying a new container IP. The shared DATUM admin password is injected as a
+platform secret and never sent to the browser. This PR depends on the DATUM app
+package being merged and its build context being shipped.
+
+## Sign in and invite miners
+
+Use **Sign in with Nostr** inside Archipelago to choose a node identity through
+the native signer. A standalone visitor can use a browser extension or remote
+Nostr signer. No private key is entered into Gashboard.
+
+All user identities offered by Archipelago's signer are dashboard owners through
+`NODE_IDENTITY_PUBKEYS`; the appliance identity is excluded. Owners can open
+**Access**, paste another miner's `npub`, and add them as a viewer. Share the
+Gashboard URL on port 1337 over your intended node access route. Viewers can read
+the entire fleet and join dashboard chat; they cannot edit membership or configure
+DATUM. Access is independent of the miner's Stratum worker name. Signing with an
+unlisted identity is rejected even if that person mines through DATUM.
+
+Owners can remove a viewer in Access. Every authenticated request rechecks the
+list, so an already-issued JWT stops working immediately. Removing a viewer does
+not erase information or chat keys that their browser previously received.
+Membership lives in `/var/lib/archipelago/gashboard/access.json`; preserve this
+directory and the platform JWT secret across reinstall. Node owners are managed
+in Archipelago identities, not in Gashboard. Restart Gashboard after changing
+node identities to refresh owner access.
+
+The app gate uses `auth: open` because invited miners have Gashboard membership,
+not node administrator accounts. Gashboard still authenticates every data API.
+The gate supplies HTTPS and iframe header handling. A node administrator can
+enable the gate's extra login if only node users should reach the app.
+
+## Source and native signer
+
+`docker/gashboard` vendors the user-supplied Gashboard source at commit
+`68b606b` from `/home/yaya/Projects/gashboard`, with Archipelago integration and
+membership changes reviewed here. Its configured remote,
+`https://git.tx1138.com/lfg2025/gashboard.git`, was unavailable over TLS during
+preparation; upstream freshness has not been verified. Vendoring makes the build
+independent of that server. The original application declares the MIT license.
+
+The image bakes the canonical `neode-ui/public/nostr-provider.js`; the install
+hook refreshes its persisted copy from the node. Refresh the baked copy when
+updating the package. The server serves the provider uncached with
+`data-app-id="gashboard"` and `data-no-nip98`, preserving Gashboard's own NIP-98
+login. The service worker never caches the signer. Existing NIP-07 browser
+providers take precedence over the node provider. The CSP permits the native
+signer broker frame in standalone/companion launches.
+
+`/healthz` checks that the dashboard API is serving. DATUM connection failures are
+reported in the dashboard snapshot rather than disguised as a healthy mining
+fleet. Contribution history persists under `/data`; live miner connections and
+current hash rate recover through repeated DNS-based polling. Miner display names
+come from their worker names, and history uses the full Stratum username so
+multiple miners of the same model are not combined under a preset nickname.
+Use a distinct worker name for each miner. Old Umbrel history should not be
+copied blindly: its ledger used preset nicknames as identities.
+
+Before release, validate HTTP/HTTPS iframe launch, companion launch, native
+identity consent, invited-user login, revocation, DATUM address change/recovery,
+and install/start/stop/reinstall/reboot on a dedicated Archipelago test node.
+
+## Local validation (2026-10-06)
+
+API access-control and worker-identity tests, TypeScript checks, production builds,
+manifest validation and generated catalog drift checks pass. Both container images
+build and run with read-only roots, cap-drop ALL and no-new-privileges on Docker.
+Gashboard's digest-authenticated polling recovered after DATUM moved from
+172.22.0.2 to 172.22.0.4, without restarting or reconfiguring Gashboard, and after
+another DATUM restart with preserved settings.
+
+The access/login flow passed Chromium 153, Firefox 155 and WebKit 26.6, each at
+1440x900 and 390x844: native-provider NIP-98 through a simulated host frame,
+invalid-key feedback, invitation, reload persistence, removal, and layout fit.
+API tests also verify owner-only edits, rejected outsider login, persisted
+membership, owner protection, corruption refusal, and revoked JWT/SSE access.
+Browser scenarios and screenshots remain outside the repository in the shared
+browser-check workspace. These browser tests simulate the app gate and signer
+host; they do not establish real-node consent, HTTPS or Android acceptance.
+
+The generated storefront entries are review candidates. No signed catalog,
+registry image or release was published. Keep actual-node acceptance
+separate from these local results.
+
+## Operator-authorized node deployment (2026-10-06)
+
+Installed alongside DATUM on archi-dev-box and yaya-server using rootless Podman,
+read-only roots and the node-generated secrets. Both apps report healthy. Their
+My Apps tiles show normalized icons, names and Launch controls. Chromium verified
+Gashboard's embedded launch, native identity selection/signing, and owner Access
+page on both nodes. Standalone native login and fresh DATUM polling passed too.
+
+On yaya, Chromium 153, Firefox 155 and WebKit 26.6 passed owner login, Access-page
+layout and reload persistence at 1440x900 and 390x844. These are Linux browser and
+viewport checks, not Android companion or physical iPhone acceptance. Anonymous
+requests to mining data and membership endpoints returned 401. No viewers were
+added to the live allowlist during these read-only UI checks.
+
+DATUM's normal package restart on yaya changed its address from 10.89.0.9 to
+10.89.0.11; Gashboard was not restarted or reconfigured and its authenticated stats
+API returned a successful poll less than five seconds old afterwards. Gashboard
+also completed its own normal package restart. The previous Docker tests cover
+invitation, revocation and membership persistence; full live-node membership,
+HTTPS, companion, preserved-data reinstall and reboot acceptance remain separate.
+
+Payouts are not configured and no real miner shares were submitted in this check.
+These are node test deployments of review candidates, not catalog publication.
+
+### Private chat persistence and invitations
+
+Encrypted messages, reactions and per-recipient room-key wraps are saved atomically
+in `/data/chat.json` (mode 0600), alongside the viewer list. The server never saves
+the plaintext room key or decrypted messages. Back up the whole app data directory;
+keep chat history and key wraps together. Invalid saved chat data stops startup
+instead of silently discarding history.
+
+An existing member with chat open shares the existing room key with newly invited
+viewers. If no existing member is online, the new viewer sees a pending-key message;
+an existing member must open chat, then the viewer can reopen the panel. A new
+viewer or simultaneous first visitor cannot replace the established key. Existing
+history becomes readable to invited viewers. Revoking membership blocks API access
+but cannot erase a key or history already received by that viewer.
+
+When upgrading from 0.2.0, export the authenticated `/api/chat` snapshot to
+`/data/chat.json` before stopping the old container: that version holds chat only
+in memory. Preserve the snapshot and data-directory backup through the upgrade.

+# Public Web Router
+
+Optional, manifest-first rootless app for node-terminated HTTPS through an
+operator-owned frp gateway. Uses pinned frpc0.71.0 and Caddy2.11.7 binaries and a
+pinned multi-architecture Python base. No host network, host port, capabilities,
+privileged socket, or node signing keys are needed. FIPS connects the isolated
+container to explicitly published website listeners.
+
+Setup stores the private enrollment and derived routes in
+`/var/lib/archipelago/public-web-router/config/router.json` (0600). The app mounts
+that directory read-only, watches for atomic replacement, validates input, and
+supervises only its own Caddy and frpc processes. Removing or invalidating config
+stops both. The gateway CA is pinned; HTTPS SNI passes through to Caddy. Caddy
+keeps certificate keys under the persistent `/data` bind mount. Uninstall and
+Disconnect must preserve that data unless the user explicitly requests removal.
+
+The automatic adapter accepts website IDs or guest-enabled app IDs and resolves
+saved domains, FIPS addresses and listener ports on the backend. Arbitrary target
+URLs/ports and management endpoints are not accepted. App routes require the
+installed catalogue policy to enable guest sharing and retain authentication.
+Each request carries the expected project/app identity. The app gate rechecks
+its live policy before login actions or static exceptions; a stale route cannot
+follow a reassigned port or a disabled gate. Existing manual proxies still work.
+
+No Nostr signer integration is requested: routing neither signs nor broadcasts
+Nostr events. Blossom/nsite publication continues to use its explicit profile
+signer and exact-byte review. Enrollment files contain private credentials and
+must never enter that publishing flow.
+
+Public mode requests ACME using TLS-ALPN-01. A dedicated public443 path must reach
+the node through the gateway; competing gateways/proxies must not claim it.
+Explicit test mode uses a private Caddy CA and is not browser-trusted public TLS.
+The process-health probe reports supervision, not external reachability or
+certificate issuance. Setup's independent HTTPS exact-content check remains
+required before claiming public reachability.
+
+Framework qualification passed the signed private catalogue, normal manifest
+installer, owner-RPC enrollment, exact website bytes through isolated Yaya TLS,
+and app guest-cookie issue/revocation. Public ACME on port 443 remains untested;
+the isolated test uses a private CA. General publication still requires the
+repository release gates.
+
+Distribution must include both `apps/public-web-router` and
+`docker/public-web-router` in the runtime payload. Build-source manifests defer
+to the shipped disk manifest; the catalogue alone cannot install the build
+context. On nodes with `web-ui/archipelago-runtime`, update that payload too:
+startup restores it into `/opt/archipelago`. Do not patch only the live copy.
+
+The manifest requests CPU/memory limits. Framework's rootless runtime currently
+reports no enforced memory cgroup limit; do not present the requested 256 MiB as
+an enforced limit on that host. Read-only root, dropped capabilities, slirp and
+read-only configuration mounts were verified on the normally installed app.
