chore: prepare release v1.8.9-alpha

The release gate requires the freshly-built bundle to embed the new
version, and the version reaches the bundle through the What's New
modal in AccountInfoSection — there was no v1.8.9-alpha block yet, so
create-release.sh correctly refused to ship a bundle that looked stale.
This adds the block (the user-facing summary of today's LND/HTTPS/
launcher/NPM/Portainer fixes) and carries the version bumps the
aborted run had already written (Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, package.json,
package-lock), so the re-run starts from a clean tree.

Verified: npm run build now produces assets containing 1.8.9-alpha
(Settings chunk), i.e. the exact check the script runs passes.

 # Changelog
 
+## v1.8.9-alpha (2026-09-01)
+
+- **Lightning sends work again after the LND 0.21.2 update.** LND 0.21 removed the old synchronous payment route the node's backend paid through (`/v1/channels/transactions`) — every Lightning send answered the literal "Not Found" and the wallet showed "Payment failed: Not Found". The backend now pays through the supported Router.SendPaymentV2 route, keeps the same settle-then-report behaviour (a slow multi-hop payment is still tracked to completion, never falsely declared failed), and translates LND's failure reasons into plain advice. A new gate test speaks the payment route directly against the running LND, so an image/backend skew like this can never ship silently again.
+
+- **The node no longer pins HSTS — HTTP access is a supported mode, and it stays working.** The HTTPS listener used to send `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains`; browsers that visited HTTPS once cached that and then silently upgraded the still-open HTTP dashboard's calls to HTTPS, which is a scheme change — cross-origin — so every request died as "CORS blocked / Failed to fetch" while the node was perfectly healthy. The HTTPS listener now actively clears the cached policy (`max-age=0`) and port 80 sends no HSTS at all, which is deliberate: the node's certificate is optional and self-signed, and devices that haven't installed the CA must keep plain-HTTP access (that's what Settings → Node certificate is for). If your browser already cached the old policy, visiting the dashboard over HTTPS once after this update clears it; a gate test now refuses any config that reintroduces the pin.
+
+- **App frames open over HTTPS again — including the ones that "did not connect."** The launcher asked the signed catalog for each app's port policy under the name you click ("Mempool Web", "Bitcoin Knots"), but the catalog declares those ports under the manifest that owns them (the Mempool web container, Bitcoin UI). The lookup missed, the launcher handed the iframe an `http://` address, and the browser blocked it as mixed content — the app tile went blank or spun forever. Port resolution now follows launch aliases (mempool-web, bitcoin-knots/bitcoin-core, lnd, electrs and friends), falls back to a port-wide catalog scan when the id is unknown, and the catalog is warmed as soon as the dashboard loads rather than only in the App Store, so the very first app you open already knows which ports serve TLS.
+
+- **Signing in to IndeeHub with Nostr works over HTTPS.** The NIP-07 bridge compared the app frame's origin for exact equality with the recorded `http://` app URL — a frame the browser upgraded to HTTPS (or any scheme change) was silently ignored, and replies addressed to the stale origin were refused outright, so Nostr sign-in quietly did nothing. The bridge now matches host and port (scheme intentionally ignored) and always replies to the frame's real origin.
+
+- **Nginx Proxy Manager starts again.** Converting it to a platform manifest dropped two things its image needs: the `/etc/letsencrypt` mount its boot script hard-requires, and the `NET_BIND_SERVICE` capability its internal nginx needs to bind ports 80/443/81 under the orchestrator's `--cap-drop=ALL`. The result was an endless start/die loop (a node watched it restart 3,176 times). Both are declared in its manifest now, its certs live on unchanged under the same persistent app directory, and the signed catalog carries the fix so installed nodes heal on the next update.
+
+- **Portainer's first-run token is in the app page, not buried in "server logs."** New Portainer versions mint a one-time setup token on a fresh install and print it only to the container logs — on an appliance that meant telling the user to go read a server log to get into their own app. The token now appears in the same launch interstitial as app login credentials (with a copy button), only while first-run setup is actually pending; once the admin account exists the card disappears on its own.
+
+## v1.8.8-alpha (2026-09-01)
+
+- **SSH over the mesh is now a first-class setting.** Settings gains an "SSH over mesh" card: off by default, and when you allow it the node's mesh firewall opens port 22 — either to every mesh peer (behind an explicit "I understand" confirmation, because that's a real exposure) or only to the mesh addresses you list. The rule is owned by the node (the `90-ssh.nft` drop-in), so it survives upgrades and daemon reinstalls, and the card tells you up front whether sshd is running, whether it listens on IPv6 (the mesh is IPv6-only — this is what a broken attempt looks like before it happens), and whether password login is on (keys-only is the recommended pairing). From Termux on your phone, `fipssh <user>@<node-npub>` connects once the toggle is on — the npub is the durable address, and the command is shown with a copy button on the card.
+
+- **The App Store now lists apps — not parts of apps.** The signed catalog carries every manifest because the node's update layer needs their pins, and the store briefly listed them all: Mempool API, LND UI, Bitcoin UI, the Pine voice engines, the IndeeHub and Immich backends, the mesh router and friends. Components are hidden from the store listing (they still appear where they belong — the Services tab of My Apps, once installed), and four entries that never earned a tile are gone outright: MorphOS server (old), the Web5 DID wallet, Lightning Stack (an untracked upstream bundle — LND covers the need), and CryptPad (never tested).
+
+- **App icons now persist everywhere, in the proper container style.** Two fixes: installed apps render the icon from their own manifest — Cuprate no longer falls back to the generic A-mark on its Services tile — and the store grids (the Discover page) apply the same icon container treatment (backdrop, border, shadow) as My Apps, the detail pages, and Home. Manifest-declared UI apps also classify correctly again: Alby Hub installs into My Apps with a working tile, not into Services, because a probe miss no longer buries an app the manifest itself says has a frontend.
+
+- **Installing from the store keeps you on the store page.** The install progress lives on the tile itself and the app appears in My Apps when it lands — no more being yanked to My Apps mid-browse.
+
 ## v1.8.7-alpha (2026-08-31)
 
 - **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.

+//! (`80-web-ui.nft`, `85-app-ports.nft`) do not include 22. That is correct

+# Incident + follow-up tracker — 2026-09-01 (post-HTTPS-work, post-LND-0.21.2 breakage)
+
+Live incident spanning framework-pt and shorty-s after the HTTPS/launcher
+work and the LND 0.18.4→0.21.2 pin bump. Root causes found on real nodes;
+status updated as work lands. Each fix ships with a regression test so the
+same class cannot silently return.
+
+## A. Root causes (all verified live)
+
+| # | Symptom | Root cause |
+|---|---------|-----------|
+| A1 | LND sends fail "Payment failed: Not Found" | LND 0.21 **removed** the deprecated `/v1/channels/transactions` REST route; backend still called it. Receive was fine; the "Failed to fetch" on framework-pt was A3 masking it. |
+| A2 | Shorty NPM restart-loops (counter 3176) | Manifest conversion (fc68c5b6) dropped (a) the `/etc/letsencrypt` mount NPM's s6 boot demands, and (b) `NET_BIND_SERVICE` — its internal nginx binds 80/443/81 and the orchestrator runs `--cap-drop=ALL`. |
+| A3 | framework-pt: every `/rpc/v1` fetch CORS-blocked, "Failed to fetch", dashboard "not responding", mempool/indeehub frames broken | nginx sent `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains` on **HTTPS**; browsers cached it, then silently upgraded the still-open **http** dashboard's fetches/frames to https → scheme change = cross-origin → CORS block. HTTP is a supported mode on purpose (self-signed cert, /ca.crt flow). |
+| A4 | Mempool/IndeeHub/bitcoin-UI frames stay `http://` on HTTPS pages (mixed content, "does not connect") | `portAuth()` looked the launch port up under the launch alias (`mempool-web`, `lnd`, `bitcoin-knots`…); the signed catalog declares those ports under the manifest id that owns them (`archy-mempool-web`, `lnd-ui`, `bitcoin-ui`) → miss → launcher fell back to http. Cache also only warmed in Store/Discover views. |
+| A5 | IndeeHub nostr sign-in dead over HTTPS | NIP-07 bridge compared `event.origin` for strict equality with the stored (http) app URL and replied to the **stored** URL as postMessage targetOrigin — both break when the frame was scheme-upgraded. |
+| A6 | Portainer "disappeared" after restart/update, then demands a setup token "see server logs" | Update to 2.45.0 recreated the container; on a fresh DB Portainer ≥2.21 mints a one-time setup token printed ONLY in container logs — hostile appliance UX. The "disappearance" was the recreate + this unknown-token first screen. |
+
+## B. Fixes (code)
+
+| Fix | Files | Status |
+|-----|-------|--------|
+| B1 LND pay via `Router.SendPaymentV2` (`/v2/router/send`), pending-status + actionable failure reasons preserved | `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/lnd/payments.rs` (+ unit tests) | ✅ code |
+| B2 Portainer setup token surfaced in the existing credentials interstitial (`package.credentials` → AppSidebar card with copy) | `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package/install.rs` (+ unit tests) | ✅ code |
+| B3 HSTS: none on :80, `max-age=0` on :443 (actively clears cached policy) | `image-recipe/configs/nginx-archipelago.conf` | ✅ code |
+| B4 NPM manifest: `/etc/letsencrypt` mount + `NET_BIND_SERVICE` | `apps/nginx-proxy-manager/manifest.yml` | ✅ code |
+| B5 `portAuth` alias resolution + unanimous port-wide fallback | `neode-ui/src/views/discover/curatedApps.ts` | ✅ code |
+| B6 Catalog cache warmed at dashboard bootstrap | `neode-ui/src/App.vue` | ✅ |
+| B7 NIP-07 bridge: host/port equality + reply to `event.origin` | `neode-ui/src/stores/appLauncher.ts` ✅ · `neode-ui/src/views/appSession/useNostrBridge.ts` ✅ | ✅ |
+| B8 Stale LND 0.18.4 refs in test expectations | `tests/lifecycle/remote-lifecycle.sh` | ✅ |
+
+## C. Regression tests ("never again")
+
+| Test | Guards | Status |
+|------|-------|--------|
+| C1 Rust: router v2 response shape, nested errors, failure reasons | B1 | ✅ |
+| C2 Rust: setup-token log extraction (live-captured 2.45.0 line shape) | B2 | ✅ |
+| C3 bats: `lnd-api-compat` — POST `/v2/router/send` on the running LND must answer (never 404) | B1 vs image skew at gate time | ✅ (route probe verified live on shorty: HTTP 500 ≠ 404) |
+| C4 bats: nginx must NOT send HSTS on :80; :443 must send `max-age=0` | B3 | ✅ |
+| C5 neode-ui unit: portAuth alias + unanimous-scan (incl. bitcoin-knots→8334 https) | B5/B4-mixed-content | ✅ (6 tests) |
+| C6 neode-ui unit: bridge origin equality ignores scheme | B7 | ✅ (2 tests) |
+
+Backend suites: 34 targeted Rust tests green (payments v2 shape, setup-token
+extraction, lnd wallet/info regressions); middleware/dispatcher suite green;
+full neode-ui suite green (62 tests in the touched areas); production bundle
+built and verified to embed the alias fix. `cargo fmt` applied.
+
+## D. Deploy & live verification
+
+| Step | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| D1 shorty NPM crash-loop stopped cleanly (user-stopped marker; public hosts keep serving via host nginx mirror) | ✅ 12:52Z |
+| D2 shorty live nginx HSTS patch + reload | ✅ verified: :80 and :443 both answer `max-age=0` |
+| D3 Regenerate catalog (releases/app-catalog.json + store copies) | ✅ semantic diff = exactly the two NPM fixes |
+| D4 **User runs `scripts/sign-catalog.sh`** (signer built at /tmp/archy-sign-bin) | ⬜ waiting on mnemonic |
+| D5 Commit + push (origin + gitea-vps2 OTA mirror) | ✅ 6 commits pushed (signed catalog commits after D4) |
+| D6 Release v1.8.9-alpha: `scripts/create-release.sh 1.8.9-alpha` (mnemonic) → `scripts/publish-release-assets.sh 1.8.9-alpha gitea-vps2` | ⬜ waiting on mnemonic |
+| D7 OTA on shorty-s + framework-pt (Update button; framework-pt has no SSH from here) | ⬜ |
+| D8 shorty: clear the NPM user-stopped marker + Start (or it starts via the fixed catalog) | ⬜ |
+| D9 framework-pt: Start Mempool — its containers are confirmed stopped (port 4080 refuses; gate answers on 7778/8334/50002/18083 so those apps will embed over https immediately) | ⬜ |
+| D10 Post-deploy live checks: LND send+receive; mempool/IndeeHub/bitcoin-UI frames over https; NPM healthy + admin :8081; portainer token card on fresh DB; zero CORS errors | ⬜ |
+
+framework-pt immediate workaround until its OTA lands: open the dashboard by
+IP (`http://192.168.x.x`) instead of `framework-pt.local`, and/or clear the
+cached policy once via `chrome://net-internals/#hsts` → Delete domain security
+policies → `framework-pt.local`.

The pin is gone, the HTTPS listener now actively clears the stale policy browsers already cached (visit HTTPS once after this update to clear yours), and plain-HTTP access — which is deliberate on nodes whose self-signed certificate you haven't installed — keeps working exactly as before.</p>

Launches now follow the alias to the owning manifest, the catalog is loaded before the first app you open (not just in the App Store), and the Nostr bridge replies to the app frame's real origin instead of a stale recorded address.</p>

-    "**Companion 0.5.28 is included in the node download this time, with the work that missed v1.8.5.** The companion hub can back up and restore its node list, act as a NIP-46 remote signer, and shows each paired node's FIPS mesh address with tap-to-copy. For Termux users, the included `fipssh` helper turns a durable node npub into its mesh address, so `fipssh user@npub1…` can reach SSH once that node has explicitly allowed port 22. The node-side “SSH over mesh” firewall toggle is not claimed here—it still needs implementation and remains off by default.",
-    "**What's New now starts cleanly at v1.8.0 and is guaranteed to be newest-first.** Older alpha history no longer overwhelms the useful recent changes, the three stray v1.7 entries that appeared above current releases are gone, and the release check now fails if either the ordering or the v1.8.0 history floor drifts again.",
-    "**A release can no longer advertise itself before its files exist.** New releases are prepared behind a pending manifest; the publisher uploads the backend and frontend, downloads both back and verifies their size and hash, and only then promotes the signed manifest to the path nodes read. The manifest generator also includes every curated What's New item instead of silently stopping after the first ten physical changelog lines."
+    "**SSH over the mesh is now a first-class setting.** Settings gains an \"SSH over mesh\" card: off by default, and when you allow it the node's mesh firewall opens port 22 — either to every mesh peer (behind an explicit \"I understand\" confirmation, because that's a real exposure) or only to the mesh addresses you list. The rule is owned by the node (the `90-ssh.nft` drop-in), so it survives upgrades and daemon reinstalls, and the card tells you up front whether sshd is running, whether it listens on IPv6 (the mesh is IPv6-only — this is what a broken attempt looks like before it happens), and whether password login is on (keys-only is the recommended pairing). From Termux on your phone, `fipssh <user>@<node-npub>` connects once the toggle is on — the npub is the durable address, and the command is shown with a copy button on the card.",
+    "**The App Store now lists apps — not parts of apps.** The signed catalog carries every manifest because the node's update layer needs their pins, and the store briefly listed them all: Mempool API, LND UI, Bitcoin UI, the Pine voice engines, the IndeeHub and Immich backends, the mesh router and friends. Components are hidden from the store listing (they still appear where they belong — the Services tab of My Apps, once installed), and four entries that never earned a tile are gone outright: MorphOS server (old), the Web5 DID wallet, Lightning Stack (an untracked upstream bundle — LND covers the need), and CryptPad (never tested).",
+    "**App icons now persist everywhere, in the proper container style.** Two fixes: installed apps render the icon from their own manifest — Cuprate no longer falls back to the generic A-mark on its Services tile — and the store grids (the Discover page) apply the same icon container treatment (backdrop, border, shadow) as My Apps, the detail pages, and Home. Manifest-declared UI apps also classify correctly again: Alby Hub installs into My Apps with a working tile, not into Services, because a probe miss no longer buries an app the manifest itself says has a frontend.",
+    "**Installing from the store keeps you on the store page.** The install progress lives on the tile itself and the app appears in My Apps when it lands — no more being yanked to My Apps mid-browse."

-    "**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."

+  "changelog": [
+    "**Lightning sends work again after the LND 0.21.2 update.** LND 0.21 removed the old synchronous payment route the node's backend paid through (`/v1/channels/transactions`) — every Lightning send answered the literal \"Not Found\" and the wallet showed \"Payment failed: Not Found\". The backend now pays through the supported Router.SendPaymentV2 route, keeps the same settle-then-report behaviour (a slow multi-hop payment is still tracked to completion, never falsely declared failed), and translates LND's failure reasons into plain advice. A new gate test speaks the payment route directly against the running LND, so an image/backend skew like this can never ship silently again.",
+    "**The node no longer pins HSTS — HTTP access is a supported mode, and it stays working.** The HTTPS listener used to send `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains`; browsers that visited HTTPS once cached that and then silently upgraded the still-open HTTP dashboard's calls to HTTPS, which is a scheme change — cross-origin — so every request died as \"CORS blocked / Failed to fetch\" while the node was perfectly healthy. The HTTPS listener now actively clears the cached policy (`max-age=0`) and port 80 sends no HSTS at all, which is deliberate: the node's certificate is optional and self-signed, and devices that haven't installed the CA must keep plain-HTTP access (that's what Settings → Node certificate is for). If your browser already cached the old policy, visiting the dashboard over HTTPS once after this update clears it; a gate test now refuses any config that reintroduces the pin.",
+    "**App frames open over HTTPS again — including the ones that \"did not connect.\"** The launcher asked the signed catalog for each app's port policy under the name you click (\"Mempool Web\", \"Bitcoin Knots\"), but the catalog declares those ports under the manifest that owns them (the Mempool web container, Bitcoin UI). The lookup missed, the launcher handed the iframe an `http://` address, and the browser blocked it as mixed content — the app tile went blank or spun forever. Port resolution now follows launch aliases (mempool-web, bitcoin-knots/bitcoin-core, lnd, electrs and friends), falls back to a port-wide catalog scan when the id is unknown, and the catalog is warmed as soon as the dashboard loads rather than only in the App Store, so the very first app you open already knows which ports serve TLS.",
+    "**Signing in to IndeeHub with Nostr works over HTTPS.** The NIP-07 bridge compared the app frame's origin for exact equality with the recorded `http://` app URL — a frame the browser upgraded to HTTPS (or any scheme change) was silently ignored, and replies addressed to the stale origin were refused outright, so Nostr sign-in quietly did nothing. The bridge now matches host and port (scheme intentionally ignored) and always replies to the frame's real origin.",
+    "**Nginx Proxy Manager starts again.** Converting it to a platform manifest dropped two things its image needs: the `/etc/letsencrypt` mount its boot script hard-requires, and the `NET_BIND_SERVICE` capability its internal nginx needs to bind ports 80/443/81 under the orchestrator's `--cap-drop=ALL`. The result was an endless start/die loop (a node watched it restart 3,176 times). Both are declared in its manifest now, its certs live on unchanged under the same persistent app directory, and the signed catalog carries the fix so installed nodes heal on the next update.",
+    "**Portainer's first-run token is in the app page, not buried in \"server logs.\"** New Portainer versions mint a one-time setup token on a fresh install and print it only to the container logs — on an appliance that meant telling the user to go read a server log to get into their own app. The token now appears in the same launch interstitial as app login credentials (with a copy button), only while first-run setup is actually pending; once the admin account exists the card disappears on its own."
