Archipelago 1.8.23-alpha acceptance

Status: PREPARING. Do not publish until artifact checks and offline signatures pass.

Scope

Durable Lightning paid-file entitlements and delivery retries, atomic buyer ownership, compact persistent upload progress/cancellation, mobile transaction filters, Immich inventory and retired-app uninstall, Portainer duplicate-network migration, channel-close fee selection, and shared app-search clearing.

Angor Indexer and the optional Angor Relay remain in the signed catalog. They were already included in 1.8.22; full-chain acceptance still awaits dev Bitcoin initial sync. Do not advertise full-chain verification as complete.

Validation carried into preparation

Candidate deployed on dev and Framework with matching backend/dashboard bytes.
Native Bitcoin/LND and Framework Immich container IDs/start times preserved.
Six live desktop/mobile app-search cases passed.
Actual uploads verified exact bytes, original destination after navigation, compact progress geometry and cancellation. These are browser checks, not physical companion acceptance.
Framework seller's settled invoice recovered to a mode-0600 entitlement and remained paid across another manager restart; mismatched item rejected.
Framework CryptPad stale inventory removed with data preserved; removal persisted after management restart. Dev normal package.uninstall RPC also completed with preserve_data=true and zero cleanup errors for the retired ID.
Cooperative-close fee selector tested with intercepted requests; no real channel was closed. Real payment recovery never sent another payment.
Shorty's Mempool inspected read-only; frontend/API healthy for over two weeks, systemd zero restarts. Operator reported normal status after their update.

Follow-ups accepted for release preparation

The operator authorized release preparation after available tests pass.

Actual failed-purchase delivery still requires buyer/file confirmation. The located invoice's source file is missing from Framework's recorded paths. Seller settlement recovery does not prove buyer delivery.
Physical companion upload diagnosis needs the affected device/route.
Framework rendered inventory/uninstall checks need dashboard second-factor authentication; SSH/runtime and dev API acceptance are recorded separately.
Angor full-chain indexing awaits Bitcoin IBD.
Prior Primal automatic-comment and lost-response ecash receipt follow-ups retain their documented boundaries; this release does not claim to fix them.

Final release checks

Pending full release gates, versioned builds, exact artifact deployment, ISO payload/boot acceptance, pinned-root signatures and publication verification. No universal or future-failure guarantee is implied by these tests.

Required NPM certificate gate

The release owner acknowledged docs/npm-certificate-handoff-20261001.md in /tmp/npm-release-handoff-ack.txt. Shorty's npm-8 issuance and HTTPS health 200 were reported by the operator; durable data-path resolution, safe host routing, automatic certificate renewal/reload, and the handoff acceptance matrix remain required before publication. Earlier authorization does not waive this new gate.
