Dorian 1e283daf13 fix: overhaul container lifecycle — recovery, health, uninstall, UI state
Container recovery:
- Health monitor: MAX_RESTART_ATTEMPTS 3→10, interval 60s→120s
- Dependency-aware restarts: won't restart services before their deps
- Reset dependent counters when a dependency recovers
- Handle "created" state containers (were invisible to health monitor)
- Added IndeedHub, mempool-api, mysql to tier system
- Crash recovery: podman start timeout 30s→120s with retry
- Podman client: socket timeout 5s→30s, added restart policy

UI state representation:
- Exit code 0 shows "stopped" (gray), not "crashed" (red)
- Exit code 137 shows "killed (OOM)"
- Non-zero exit shows "crashed" (red)
- Added exit_code field to PackageDataEntry

Install/uninstall fixes:
- Install returns error when container doesn't start (was silent success)
- Post-install hooks awaited instead of fire-and-forget tokio::spawn
- Uninstall: graceful rm before force, volume prune, network cleanup
- Uninstall returns error on partial failure (was 200 OK)

Config consistency:
- DB passwords read from /var/lib/archipelago/secrets/ (was hardcoded)
- Bitcoin: added ZMQ ports 28332/28333 for LND block notifications
- IndeedHub port 7777→8190 (was conflicting with strfry)
- Marketplace versions: LND 0.17.4→0.18.4, Mempool 2.5.0→3.0.0

Performance:
- Metrics collector interval 60s→300s (was duplicating health monitor)
- Podman client: proper error propagation instead of unwrap_or_default

# Archipelago Seed Verification
Independently verify that your 24-word BIP-39 mnemonic produces the correct
Nostr keys and DID identifiers — using only standard cryptographic primitives,
no Archipelago code.

[`core/archipelago/src/identity.rs`](../core/archipelago/src/identity.rs)
---
## Setup
```bash
pip3 install cryptography ecdsa
```
Two packages, both pure crypto, no network calls. Python 3.9+.
---
## The Verification Script
Save as `verify-seed.py` and run with your mnemonic:
```bash
MNEMONIC="word1 word2 ... word24" python3 verify-seed.py
```
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Archipelago seed derivation verifier.
Re-derives every key from a BIP-39 mnemonic using the exact same algorithms
as the Rust backend (seed.rs), so you can compare outputs independently.
Dependencies: cryptography, ecdsa (pip3 install cryptography ecdsa)
No network calls. No file writes. Safe to run air-gapped.

## How to Run
```bash
# Install (two packages, pure crypto, no telemetry)
pip3 install cryptography ecdsa
# Option A: environment variable (doesn't persist in shell history)
read -rs MNEMONIC && export MNEMONIC
# (type or paste your 24 words, press Enter)
python3 verify-seed.py
unset MNEMONIC
# Option B: interactive prompt
python3 verify-seed.py
# Enter your 24-word mnemonic (space-separated):
# > abandon abandon ... art
```
---
## What to Compare
| Output field | Where to find on your node |
|---|---|
| Node Ed25519 public | `xxd -p /var/lib/archipelago/identity/node_key.pub` |
| Node did:key | Settings > Identity > Node DID |
| Node npub | Settings > Identity > Nostr Public Key |
| Identity[0] did:key | Settings > Identity > first identity DID |
| Identity[0] npub | Settings > Identity > first identity Nostr key |
RPC alternative (from any machine on the LAN):
```bash
# Node identity
curl -s http://192.168.1.228/api/rpc \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"method":"identity.get-node"}' | jq .
# All identities
curl -s http://192.168.1.228/api/rpc \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"method":"identity.list"}' | jq .
```

## Cryptographic Reference
### HKDF-SHA256 (RFC 5869)
Used for Ed25519 and node-level Nostr keys. Domain separation via unique `info` strings
prevents key reuse across contexts.
```
Extract: PRK = HMAC-SHA256(salt=0x00*32, ikm=64_byte_seed)
Expand: OKM = HMAC-SHA256(PRK, info || 0x01) [first 32 bytes]
```
The Rust backend uses `hkdf::Hkdf::<Sha256>::new(None, ikm)` where `None` salt = 32 zero bytes.
### BIP-32 (secp256k1 HD derivation)
Used for per-identity Nostr keys (NIP-06) and Bitcoin wallet.
```
Master: HMAC-SHA512(key="Bitcoin seed", data=64_byte_seed)
Child: HMAC-SHA512(key=chain_code, data=0x00||key||index) [hardened]
HMAC-SHA512(key=chain_code, data=pubkey||index) [normal]
```
The Rust backend uses the `bitcoin` crate: `Xpriv::new_master()` + `derive_priv()`.
### did:key (W3C)
```
did:key:z + base58btc( 0xED 0x01 || 32_byte_ed25519_pubkey )
```
Multicodec prefix `0xED 0x01` identifies Ed25519 public keys.
The Rust backend uses `bs58::encode()` over a 34-byte buffer.
### NIP-19 Bech32 (npub/nsec)
```
npub1... = bech32(hrp="npub", data=32_byte_x_only_pubkey)
nsec1... = bech32(hrp="nsec", data=32_byte_private_key)
```
X-only pubkey = just the x-coordinate of the secp256k1 point (Schnorr format).

## Security
- Run on an air-gapped machine or at minimum a private terminal session
- The script makes zero network calls and writes zero files
- After verification, clean up:
```bash
rm verify-seed.py
unset MNEMONIC
history -c # bash
# or: fc -W /dev/null # zsh
```
- Never paste your mnemonic into a web tool, online REPL, or shared terminal
