archipelago 0ea4f96de9 docs(status): mark async-spawn lifecycle fix as shipped
Records the four landed commits, the .228 deploy (binary + frontend
paths, backups, md5), the manual LND Stop verification, and the
rollback incantation. Leaves the older "NEXT SESSION" design block
in place as historical reference with a note that it's stale.

Adds a follow-ups list: chaos matrix is now unblocked, bundled-app
RPCs are still sync (deprecate or mirror-async?), transitional_since
is in-memory only, and there are 22 pre-existing test failures in
unrelated modules that should get their own cleanup pass.

# RESUME HERE — Rust orchestrator migration
Updated: 2026-04-23 (Async-spawn lifecycle fix LANDED + deployed to .228, manual LND Stop verified — "absolutely beautiful" per user. Ready for chaos matrix / Step 11.)
**To resume this work, SSH into the ThinkPad and run `opencode` from `~/Projects/archy/`. Or work from the laptop via the SSHFS mount at `~/mnt/archy-thinkpad/`.**
---
## ✅ ASYNC-SPAWN LIFECYCLE FIX — SHIPPED
Landed 2026-04-23 in 4 commits on `main` (unpushed per user mirror protocol):
- `44cd5eef` `feat(rpc): spawn_transitional helper for async lifecycle ops` — new `api/rpc/transitional.rs` with `Op::{Stop,Start,Restart}` and `RpcHandler::spawn_transitional` / `flip_to_transitional` / `set_state` helpers. `install_log` re-exported so sibling modules can use it.
- `19a99ca9` `fix(rpc): async container stop/start/restart; widen state mapping``container.rs` start/stop rewritten + restart added; `container-list` now emits all transitional variants instead of falling back to `"unknown"`. `dispatcher.rs` registers `container-restart`. `package/runtime.rs` mirrored with `do_package_*` helpers inside `tokio::spawn` and revert-on-error.
- `6712810b` `fix(state): preserve transitional state across container scans``server.rs` scan merge now keeps transitional states while taking fresh observability fields; 1200s stuck-timeout escape hatch via `transitional_since: HashMap<String, Instant>`. Three passing `server::merge_tests`.
- `9ce28f08` `fix(ui): single-button lifecycle control with transitional labels``ContainerApps.vue` and `ContainerAppDetails.vue` use a single primary button driven by `getAppVisualState()`. **Dashboard now routes through `container-start`/`container-stop`** (the async RPCs) instead of the legacy synchronous `bundled-app-*` path. `ContainerStatus.vue` widened to render all new variants.
**Deployed to .228** (ThinkPad demo device):
- Binary at `/usr/local/bin/archipelago` (md5 `de86b63f74c7e6fe6e555ffe30b86b4f`), backup at `/usr/local/bin/archipelago.bak-pre-async-stop`.
- Frontend at `/opt/archipelago/web-ui/`, backup at `/opt/archipelago/web-ui.bak-pre-async-stop/`.
- Release build took 3m56s on .116. Deploy via scp + atomic `install -m 755` + `systemctl restart archipelago`. `nginx -t` + `systemctl reload nginx` for frontend.
**Manual verification**: user clicked Stop on LND in the dashboard. Button flipped to `Stopping…` instantly, held for the full graceful-stop window, transitioned to `Start` when `podman stop` completed. No mid-flight revert to Running. User sign-off: _"absolutely beautiful"_.
**Rollback (if ever needed)**:
```
ssh archy228 'sudo cp /usr/local/bin/archipelago.bak-pre-async-stop /usr/local/bin/archipelago && sudo rsync -a --delete /opt/archipelago/web-ui.bak-pre-async-stop/ /opt/archipelago/web-ui/ && sudo systemctl restart archipelago && sudo systemctl reload nginx'
```
### Follow-ups to consider
1. **Chaos matrix / Step 11** — the original next-step gated behind this fix. Now unblocked.
2. **bundled-app-start / bundled-app-stop** — still synchronous in the backend. Dashboard no longer calls them, but the RPC methods remain for any external caller. Decide: deprecate, or mirror the async-spawn treatment for parity.
3. **`transitional_since` persistence** — currently in-memory only, so a backend restart mid-stop loses the timeout anchor. Acceptable for now (scan loop re-observes live podman state and reconciles), but worth revisiting if crash-recovery stories tighten.
4. **Test regressions inventory** — the full `cargo test -p archipelago` run on .116 shows 22 pre-existing failures in unrelated modules (mesh/wallet/credentials/avatar/session/transport/update-mirrors/fips/identity_manager/image_versions). Unrelated to this work but tech debt. Log at `/tmp/cargo-test-all.log` on .116.
5. **Amend STATUS.md's older "NEXT SESSION — START HERE" section** (below) — it is now stale. Left in place for historical reference of how the fix was designed; delete on the next pass if it gets confusing.
---
## ⚡ NEXT SESSION — START HERE (historical — fix above is now shipped)
**Goal**: implement async-spawn lifecycle fix so the dashboard never shows a frozen spinner again. User mandate: _"best server containers in the world"_. Do not ship the chaos matrix (Step 11) until this lands and manual LND stop verifies instant RPC + live `Stopping…` label.
### How to work on this repo (SSH + SSHFS setup)
You are likely running on the **laptop** (macOS). The repo lives on the **ThinkPad** (.116). There are two access paths, use both in parallel:
1. **SSHFS mount at `~/mnt/archy-thinkpad/`** — for all file ops (`read`/`edit`/`write`/`glob`/`grep`).
2. **Direct SSH** — for everything that isn't file ops: `git`, `cargo`, `npm`, `systemctl`, running the server, tailing logs.
See the "FUSE / SSHFS development loop" section below for the full mount lifecycle — that's _the_ thing that makes this dev setup work, and it will break periodically.
### FUSE / SSHFS development loop
**Why this exists**: editing the repo directly on the ThinkPad over raw SSH means no IDE, no tool-native file reads, no glob/grep speed. SSHFS mounts the remote filesystem as a local directory so OpenCode's file tools work transparently. But SSHFS is a leaky abstraction — know the gotchas or you'll waste hours.
**Stack** (macOS laptop):
- **macFUSE** — kernel extension providing FUSE on macOS. Install via `brew install --cask macfuse` (requires reboot + security approval in System Settings the first time).
- **sshfs** — userspace mount tool. Install via `brew install gromgit/fuse/sshfs-mac` (the homebrew core `sshfs` was removed; use this tap).
- Verify: `which sshfs``/opt/homebrew/bin/sshfs`, `sshfs --version``SSHFS version 2.10 / FUSE library version 2.9.9`.
**Actual mount command currently running** (verified from `ps`):
```
sshfs archy:Projects/archy /Users/dorian/mnt/archy-thinkpad \
-o reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=3,volname=archy-thinkpad
```
Breakdown:
- `archy:Projects/archy` — remote path via the `archy` SSH alias (uses `~/.ssh/archy_opencode`, no password prompt).
- `~/mnt/archy-thinkpad` — local mount point. Create once: `mkdir -p ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad`.
- `reconnect` — sshfs auto-reconnects if the TCP session drops (WiFi flap, laptop sleep). Without this, the mount turns into a zombie immediately.
- `ServerAliveInterval=15` — sends a keepalive every 15s.
- `ServerAliveCountMax=3` — disconnect after 3 missed keepalives (45s). Tune up if your network is flaky.
- `volname=archy-thinkpad` — Finder display name.
**Check mount health**:
```
mount | grep archy-thinkpad
# should print: archy:Projects/archy on /Users/dorian/mnt/archy-thinkpad (macfuse, nodev, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by dorian)
ls ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad/ | head
# should list repo contents fast (<1s). If it hangs, mount is stale.
```
**Recovery when the mount hangs / goes stale** (this WILL happen — laptop sleeps, WiFi drops, ThinkPad reboots):
```
# 1. Force-unmount (macOS — `umount` alone often fails on a hung FUSE mount)
sudo diskutil unmount force ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad
# fallback if diskutil can't see it:
sudo umount -f ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad
# 2. Kill any zombie sshfs process
pkill -f "sshfs archy:Projects/archy"
# 3. Remount
sshfs archy:Projects/archy ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad \
-o reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=3,volname=archy-thinkpad
# 4. Verify
ls ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad/ | head
```
If the mount point itself got wedged (`ls: /Users/dorian/mnt/archy-thinkpad: Device not configured`), the sequence above still works — macFUSE garbage-collects the inode after the force-unmount.
**When to use which path** (rules, not suggestions):
| Operation | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `read` / `edit` / `write` | SSHFS mount | OpenCode tools want local paths |
| `glob` / `grep` | SSHFS mount | Local FS traversal is fine; remote would need rg over SSH |
| Reading many files | SSHFS mount | Each read is a round-trip but parallelizable |
| `git status` / `git diff` / `git log` | SSH | Git over FUSE is painfully slow (lots of stat calls) |
| `git add` / `git commit` | SSH | Same — commit times grow linearly with tree size on FUSE |
| `cargo check` / `cargo test` / `cargo build` | SSH | Compiling over FUSE would take hours; cargo's incremental stat pattern destroys FUSE performance |
| `npm install` / `npm run build` | SSH | Same reason — massive file churn |
| Running the server / tailing journal | SSH | Service lives on .116 |
| Deploying to .228 | SSH from .116 | SCP from ThinkPad; laptop isn't in the critical path |
**Don't do this** (will bite you):
- `cargo build` from the mount — will try to write target/ over FUSE, gets orders of magnitude slower, may hang.
- `rsync` without `--exclude="._*"` — macOS writes AppleDouble metadata files, they leak to the remote as `._*` siblings of every real file. `.gitignore` already excludes them (commit `13858842`), but they clutter the tree.
- Writing big binary files via the mount — use `scp` over SSH instead.
- Relying on file-change-watcher tools (watchman, chokidar) — they get confused by FUSE event semantics.
**Editing workflow in a typical session**:
1. Laptop: OpenCode `read`s a file via `/Users/dorian/mnt/archy-thinkpad/...`. FUSE fetches it over SSH, caches briefly.
2. Laptop: OpenCode `edit`s the file — FUSE writes the new bytes back to .116 immediately (synchronous mount).
3. Laptop: `ssh archy "cd ~/Projects/archy && ~/.cargo/bin/cargo check -p archipelago"` — runs on the real filesystem on .116, sees the edit.
4. Laptop: `ssh archy "cd ~/Projects/archy && git diff path/to/file"` — confirms the edit landed.
5. Laptop: `ssh archy "cd ~/Projects/archy && git add path/to/file && git commit -m '...'"` — commit from .116.
The SSHFS mount and the SSH shell are pointing at **the same inodes** — edits via the mount are instantly visible to `cargo`/`git` over SSH. There's no "sync" step.
**Cache caveat**: macFUSE caches attributes briefly (default ~1s). If you write via SSH and read via the mount within that window, you may see stale metadata. The mount's `synchronous` flag (visible in `mount` output) minimizes but doesn't eliminate this. If you get a weird diff between what SSH and the mount report, re-read after a second, or `stat --file-system ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad/<file>` to force a refresh.
**Direct SSH** access (use when FUSE isn't the right tool):
- `ssh archy``archipelago@192.168.1.116` using `~/.ssh/archy_opencode`
- `ssh archy228``archipelago@192.168.1.228` using `~/.ssh/archy_opencode`
- Full host form also works: `ssh archipelago@192.168.1.116` / `ssh archipelago@192.168.1.228` (same key resolves via IdentitiesOnly).
### SSH keys — what's where
**Laptop `~/.ssh/` (macOS, user `dorian`)**:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `archy_opencode` / `.pub` | **Primary key for this project.** Unlocks both `archy` (.116) and `archy228` (.228). Created 2026-04-22 specifically for OpenCode work. |
| `archipelago-deploy` / `.pub` | Older archipelago deploy key. Not needed for current work. |
| `id_ed25519` / `.pub` | Personal default key. Not used by archy/archy228 configs (`IdentitiesOnly yes` forces `archy_opencode`). |
| `id_ed25519_angor` / `.pub` | Angor project. Unrelated. |
| `id_ed25519_start9` / `.pub` | Start9 project. Unrelated. |
| `vps-ci-setup` / `.pub` | VPS CI. Unrelated. |
| `config` | Host aliases (shown above) |
**.116 `/home/archipelago/.ssh/`**:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `authorized_keys` | Accepts: laptop's `archy_opencode.pub` + 3 other keys (4 lines total). |
| `id_ed25519` / `.pub` | .116's OWN identity key. This is what lets `.116 → .228` work passwordless. |
| `archipelago-deploy` | Symlink → `id_ed25519` (legacy alias). |
| `id_ed25519_vps168` / `.pub` | For SSH to `146.59.87.168` (VPS). Unrelated to this work. |
| `config` | Host entry for the VPS only. |
**.228 `/home/archipelago/.ssh/`**:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `authorized_keys` | Accepts: laptop's `archy_opencode.pub` + .116's `id_ed25519.pub` + 2 others (4 lines total). |
| _(no `id_ed25519`)_ | .228 has no outbound key — it's a terminal node. Don't try to `ssh` _from_ .228 _to_ anywhere. |
**Connectivity matrix (all verified 2026-04-23)**:
| From → To | Works passwordless | Via |
|---|---|---|
| Laptop → .116 | ✅ | `archy_opencode` |
| Laptop → .228 | ✅ | `archy_opencode` |
| .116 → .228 | ✅ | .116's `id_ed25519` |
| .228 → anywhere | ❌ | no outbound key (by design) |
### Sudo — verified state
**.116** (dev ThinkPad):
- User `archipelago` is in `sudo` group.
- Sudo password required: **`ThisIsWeb54321@`**
- Sudoers drop-ins present: `/etc/sudoers.d/archipelago-ci`, `/etc/sudoers.d/archipelago-wg` (scope-limited NOPASSWD for specific CI/wg commands — not full NOPASSWD).
- For most dev work you don't need sudo on .116.
**.228** (prod kiosk):
- User `archipelago` has **full passwordless sudo** via `/etc/sudoers.d/archipelago` containing `archipelago ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL`.
- User is also in `sudo` group.
- Sudo password (if ever prompted, shouldn't be): **`archipelago`**
- Dashboard password: **`password123`**
### Cargo / npm / paths
- **Cargo PATH gotcha**: non-interactive SSH login has no cargo in PATH. Always use `~/.cargo/bin/cargo` over SSH.
- Example: `ssh archy '~/.cargo/bin/cargo check -p archipelago' --workdir ~/Projects/archy/core`
- Or cd first: `ssh archy 'cd ~/Projects/archy && ~/.cargo/bin/cargo check -p archipelago'`
- **Long cargo builds** (>2 min Bash tool timeout): launch detached and poll the log:
```
ssh archy 'cd ~/Projects/archy && nohup ~/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release -p archipelago > /tmp/cargo-build.log 2>&1 < /dev/null & disown'
ssh archy 'tail -30 /tmp/cargo-build.log'
ssh archy 'pgrep -a cargo' # to check if still running
```
- **npm / frontend** lives at `~/Projects/archy/neode-ui/` on .116 (also accessible via laptop mount at `~/mnt/archy-thinkpad/neode-ui/`). Node is on interactive PATH; for scripted SSH, `source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && nvm use` or call the absolute path if nvm is used.
- Repo on .116: `~/Projects/archy/` (Cargo workspace at `core/Cargo.toml`).
- Web root on .228: check `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/` for the live path; historically `/var/lib/archipelago/web-ui/` or `/opt/archipelago/web-ui/`.
### Deploying new server binary to .228
```
# 1. Build on .116 (detached — takes ~3-5 min for release)
ssh archy 'cd ~/Projects/archy && nohup ~/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release -p archipelago > /tmp/cargo-build.log 2>&1 < /dev/null & disown'
# wait / tail log until "Finished `release` profile"
# 2. SCP .116 → .228 (uses .116's id_ed25519 → .228's authorized_keys, passwordless)
ssh archy 'scp ~/Projects/archy/core/target/release/archipelago archipelago@192.168.1.228:/tmp/archipelago.new'
# 3. Atomic swap on .228 with backup
ssh archy228 'sudo cp /usr/local/bin/archipelago /usr/local/bin/archipelago.bak-pre-async-stop && sudo mv /tmp/archipelago.new /usr/local/bin/archipelago && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/archipelago && sudo systemctl restart archipelago'
# 4. Verify
ssh archy228 'systemctl status archipelago --no-pager | head -20 && sudo journalctl -u archipelago -n 50 --no-pager'
```
### Git workflow
- Branch: `main` on .116, currently **22 commits ahead of `tx1138/main`**.
- Remote `tx1138` exists but **do NOT push** — user mirrors to 4 Gitea remotes personally after reviewing.
- Atomic commits, one logical change per commit. Conventional Commits format (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `chore:`, `test:`, `perf:`).
- Never `--amend` unless the commit you're amending was created in this session AND has not been pushed. Safer: new commit.
- Never `--force` push. Never modify git config.
- If pre-commit hooks fail, create a NEW commit with the fix — don't `--amend` after a failed commit.
### Other
- Full destructive latitude on both nodes. Announce multi-hour ops (OTA, full rebuild, apt upgrade). Don't ask for routine stop/start/rebuild permission.
- No ship pressure. Do it properly.
- Use `question` tool for ambiguous decisions (don't guess user intent on design choices).
- Keep `docs/STATUS.md` fresh between sessions — it IS the session handoff.
### Hosts reference (quick)
| Host | IP | SSH alias | Role | Dashboard | Sudo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `archy` (ThinkPad X250) | 192.168.1.116 | `ssh archy` | dev host, Debian 13 | `archipelago` | `ThisIsWeb54321@` |
| `archy228` (HP ProDesk) | 192.168.1.228 | `ssh archy228` | prod kiosk, Rust orchestrator | `password123` | NOPASSWD (fallback `archipelago`) |
### Bug being fixed
Dashboard sequence when user clicks **Stop LND**:
1. UI collapses Start/Stop buttons to single spinner-button ("Stopping…") via `loadingApps.add('lnd')`.
2. Frontend calls `container-stop` RPC. Server runs `podman stop -t 330 lnd` **synchronously inside the RPC handler** (via `orchestrator.stop()`). RPC blocks up to **5.5 min** for LND (330s timeout + overhead).
3. Meanwhile the 30-second package-scan loop in `server.rs:scan_and_update_packages` keeps running. It rebuilds `PackageDataEntry` from podman inspect — podman still reports `running` (stop hasn't completed) — and **blindly overwrites** the store entry at `server.rs:854`.
4. `container-list` RPC reads `state_manager` snapshot → returns `state = "running"`.
5. Frontend polling sees `running` → `getAppState()` returns `'running'` → the two-button (Start | Stop) block re-renders → the transitional button disappears → **UI looks like the stop silently failed**.
6. Eventually `podman stop` finishes → next scan → state flips to `Stopped` → buttons change _again_.
Net visible bug: button spins briefly, reverts to Running, then several minutes later suddenly shows Stopped. User rightly calls this "out of sync and confusing".
### Decisions already locked in (do not re-ask)
- **Full scope fix** (not minimal hotfix). User chose "Go full scope, do it right".
- **Async-spawn lives in the RPC layer**, not in the `ContainerOrchestrator` trait. Trait stays synchronous so the reconciler, boot flow, unit tests, and the chaos harness retain deterministic behaviour.
- **`PackageState` already has `Stopping`/`Starting`/`Restarting`/`Installing`/`Updating`/`Removing`** variants — enum at `core/archipelago/src/data_model.rs:107-124`. No schema change needed.
- **UI collapses to one full-width button** with spinner during every transitional state. Labels: Start / Stop / Starting… / Stopping… / Restarting… / Installing… / Updating… / Removing… / Install (when `not-installed`).
- **Helper API shape**: `RpcHandler::spawn_transitional(op: Op, app_id: String)` where `Op` is an enum `{Stop, Start, Restart}`. Helper dispatches to `orchestrator.stop/start/restart` internally, knows each op's transitional+final states, handles error → revert + `install_log()`.
- **`mark_user_stopped` must run BEFORE the spawn** (preserves ordering the crash recovery layer depends on — see `runtime.rs:145-148`).
### Implementation order (4 commits, local only)
**Commit 1 — `feat(rpc): spawn_transitional helper for async lifecycle ops`**
- New file: `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/transitional.rs` (or extend `container.rs`; prefer new file for cohesion with future stacks/package variants)
- `enum Op { Stop, Start, Restart }` with `transitional_state()`, `final_state_on_success()`, `log_prefix()`, and async `dispatch(&orch, &app_id)` method
- `impl RpcHandler { pub(super) async fn spawn_transitional(&self, op: Op, app_id: String) -> Result<()> }`
- Capture `Arc<dyn ContainerOrchestrator>` + `Arc<StateManager>` clones
- Set transitional state via `state_manager.update_data()` (if entry exists; skip if not — Start on never-installed shouldn't create an entry)
- `tokio::spawn(async move { ... })`
- Inside spawn: `install_log("{LOG_PREFIX}: {app_id}")`, `op.dispatch(&orch, &app_id).await`, on success set final state, on error log + `install_log("{LOG_PREFIX} FAIL: …")` + revert state to previous (cache pre-transition state in a local)
- Return `Ok(())` immediately after spawn
**Commit 2 — `fix(rpc): async container stop/start/restart; widen state mapping`**
- `api/rpc/container.rs:85-107` — rewrite `handle_container_stop` body: `validate_app_id`, `mark_user_stopped`, `spawn_transitional(Op::Stop, app_id.to_string()).await?`, return `Ok(json!({ "status": "stopping" }))`
- `api/rpc/container.rs:61-83` — rewrite `handle_container_start`: `clear_user_stopped`, `spawn_transitional(Op::Start, …)`, return `{ "status": "starting" }`
- **Add** `handle_container_restart` (currently missing in `container.rs` — only exists as `package.restart` at `runtime.rs:176-242`). Register RPC route name `container-restart`. Add matching frontend client method in `container-client.ts`.
- `api/rpc/container.rs:148-154` — widen the `container-list` state mapping: add arms for `Stopping → "stopping"`, `Starting → "starting"`, `Restarting → "restarting"`, `Installing → "installing"`, `Updating → "updating"`, `Removing → "removing"`, `Installed → "installed"`, `CreatingBackup`/`RestoringBackup`/`BackingUp` → their kebab-case strings. No more `"unknown"` fallback unless the variant is genuinely unknown.
- Mirror same spawn treatment in `api/rpc/package/runtime.rs`: `handle_package_start` (L28-119), `handle_package_stop` (L122-173), `handle_package_restart` (L176-242). Keep the existing verification loops (post-start exit-check at L82-117; restart stop+start fallback at L215-235) _inside_ the spawned future, not in the RPC body.
**Commit 3 — `fix(state): preserve transitional state across container scans`**
- `server.rs:847-857` — in the merge loop, before the `merged.insert(id.clone(), pkg.clone())` overwrite, check `merged.get(id).state` and skip overwrite if it's transitional: `matches!(existing.state, Installing | Stopping | Starting | Restarting | Updating | Removing | CreatingBackup | RestoringBackup | BackingUp)`
- Still allow _non-state_ fields (lan_address, health, ports) to update. Simplest: when existing is transitional, keep `existing.state` but merge updated fields from `pkg`. Write a tiny helper `merge_preserving_transitional(existing, fresh) -> PackageDataEntry`.
- Unit test: construct `existing.state = Stopping`, `fresh.state = Running`, assert merged.state stays `Stopping`.
- **Also check**: Is there a timeout escape hatch? If `Stopping` is set and podman actually finishes but the spawn died before writing the final state (process crash, panic), the entry will be stuck `Stopping` forever. Mitigation: track a `transitional_since: Instant` in the entry (not persisted, just in-memory side table on StateManager), and if > 2× the stop timeout has elapsed, allow podman scan state to override. Scope for this commit or follow-up — lean toward: include it, because fleet reliability matters.
**Commit 4 — `fix(ui): single-button lifecycle control with transitional labels`**
- `neode-ui/src/api/container-client.ts` — extend `ContainerStatus.state` union to: `'created' | 'running' | 'stopped' | 'exited' | 'paused' | 'unknown' | 'stopping' | 'starting' | 'restarting' | 'installing' | 'updating' | 'removing' | 'installed'`. Add `restartContainer(appId)` method calling `container-restart`.
- `neode-ui/src/stores/container.ts` — add computed `getAppVisualState(appId)` that returns one of: `'not-installed' | 'running' | 'stopped' | 'starting' | 'stopping' | 'restarting' | 'installing' | 'updating' | 'removing'`. Maps `exited`→`stopped`, `created`→`stopped`, `paused`→`stopped`, `installed`→`stopped`. Add `restartContainer(appId)` action (sets `loadingApps` for request dedup, calls client, does NOT `fetchContainers` immediately because server will broadcast state; a final `fetchContainers` after a short delay can backstop if WebSocket push is absent).
- `neode-ui/src/views/ContainerApps.vue:85-136` — replace the two-button conditional with a single full-width button bound to `getAppVisualState(app.id)`. Table:
| visual state | click action | label | spinner | disabled |
|-----------------|----------------|----------------|---------|----------|
| `not-installed` | installApp | Install | no | no |
| `running` | stopContainer | Stop | no | no |
| `stopped` | startContainer | Start | no | no |
| `starting` | — | Starting… | yes | yes |
| `stopping` | — | Stopping… | yes | yes |
| `restarting` | — | Restarting… | yes | yes |
| `installing` | — | Installing… | yes | yes |
| `updating` | — | Updating… | yes | yes |
| `removing` | — | Removing… | yes | yes |
- Add a separate Restart button next to the primary one when state is `running`, calling new `restartContainer` action. Restart button hides while transitional.
- `neode-ui/src/views/ContainerAppDetails.vue:83` (and full stop/start button blocks around L220, L232) — mirror the same single-button pattern.
- Also audit line 239 of `ContainerApps.vue` (`some((app) => store.getAppState(app.id) === 'created')`) and the logic around lines 276, 295, 309, 312 — make sure they use `getAppVisualState` where appropriate.
### Verification gates (do not skip)
1. `~/.cargo/bin/cargo check -p archipelago` on .116 via SSH
2. `~/.cargo/bin/cargo test -p archipelago` on .116 via SSH — at least the new merge helper test must pass
3. Build release binary on .116: `nohup ~/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release -p archipelago > /tmp/cargo-build.log 2>&1 < /dev/null & disown`. Poll until done.
4. SCP binary to .228 `/usr/local/bin/archipelago`, back up prior to `/usr/local/bin/archipelago.bak-pre-async-stop`. `sudo systemctl restart archipelago` on .228.
5. **Manual LND stop test on .228**:
- Open dashboard, confirm LND is Running (first: `ssh archipelago@192.168.1.228 'podman start lnd'` — LND is currently Exited(0) from the demo)
- Click Stop
- Expected: button _immediately_ becomes "Stopping…" with spinner (RPC returns <1s)
- Dashboard should stay on "Stopping…" for ~5 min
- Then flip to "Start" button with label "Start"
- At no point should it revert to "Running" mid-stop
6. Same test with Bitcoin Core stop (longest timeout, 600s)
7. Frontend build: `cd ~/Projects/archy/neode-ui && npm run type-check && npm run build`. Rsync `dist/` to `archipelago@192.168.1.228:/var/lib/archipelago/web-ui/` (or wherever the active web root is — check `/etc/nginx` on .228 first).
8. Then and only then: resume chaos matrix. First recover LND/ElectrumX via UI (great end-to-end test of the new async Start path), then run smoke → full 32-case matrix.

### Chaos harness (not in repo — lives on .116)
- `archipelago@192.168.1.116:~/ui-chaos/` — deployed, playwright + deps installed, smoke test for bitcoin-core passes (2.1 min). LND/ElectrumX/bitcoin-ui smoke tests not yet run (blocked on the async-stop fix landing; LND currently Exited on .228 from the demo).
- `/tmp/chaos/` on laptop — canonical source for rsync to .116.
- Run: `cd ~/ui-chaos && npx playwright test tests/<spec>`
- Target: 32 cases = 4 core containers × 8 scenarios (install-fresh, graceful-stop, sigkill, rm-container, oom-kill, rm-image, restart-service, network-partition).
- Uses SSH+Playwright hybrid per design; includes the `bash -lc '<escaped>'` single-quote fix for ssh argv flattening and JSON-parsed `podman inspect` instead of Go templates.
### Pre-existing bugs still deferred (do not fix until Stop UX lands)
1. `archipelago --version` spawns server (should be a pure CLI query)
2. RPC unknown-method returns generic error (should return method-not-found with the bad method name)
3. `docker_packages.rs` filters out UI containers (`archy-lnd-ui`, `archy-electrs-ui`) — some views need them visible
4. `lnd.lan_address` stale on .228
5. first-boot silent failure on some hardware
6. `web-ui.failed.*` scar on .228 (benign systemd unit state)
7. `test_parse_image_versions` pre-existing broken assertion — fix or `#[ignore]` when touching that area

## Where we are
Working through the 11-step plan in [`rust-orchestrator-migration.md`](./rust-orchestrator-migration.md).
- [x] **Step 1** — `3767c267` ContainerConfig schema with `build:`, `ResolvedSource` enum, `resolve()`, 10 tests
- [x] **Step 2** — `34af4d9d` ContainerRuntime trait gained `image_exists` + `build_image`, 4 argv tests, 25/25 pass
- [x] **Step 3** — `b6a04d31` ProdContainerOrchestrator (999 LOC), 16 tests all pass, not yet wired to main.rs
- [x] **Step 4** — `e8a59c93` ContainerOrchestrator trait, RpcHandler uses it in prod (+ `13858842` chore gitignore ._*)
- [x] **Step 5** — `fc39b04b` BootReconciler with Arc<Notify> shutdown, 4 paused-time tests pass
- [x] **Step 6** — `48f08aa3` main.rs wire-up (orchestrator construction + adopt_existing + BootReconciler spawn + shutdown Notify)
- [x] **Step 7** — `069bc4a5` bitcoin-ui pre-start hook + embedded nginx.conf template (8 unit tests + 1 integration test), 39/39 container:: tests pass
- [x] **Step 8a** — `a0707f4d` retire archipelago-reconcile.{service,timer} + ISO builder touchpoints, keep scripts for update.rs
- [x] **Step 9** — **Hot-swap on .228 verified.** All three UIs (bitcoin-ui/lnd-ui/electrs-ui) installing + serving HTTP 200.
- [x] **.228 dashboard bugs** — ExtraHost `192.168.1.254` bug (`3ee192ba`) + LND macaroon permission bug (`be960023`). See "Post-Step 9 bug hunt" below.
- [ ] **Step 8b** — Port remaining ~25 container creations from `first-boot-containers.sh` into `apps/<id>/manifest.yml`, then port `update.rs` to orchestrator (deferred, multi-day work)
- [ ] **Step 8c** — Rename `first-boot-containers.sh` → `first-boot-setup.sh`, strip container ops, keep setup. Delete `reconcile-containers.sh` + `container-specs.sh`. Add ISO lines to copy `apps/` (final one-way door, requires 8b complete)
- [ ] **Step 10** — Hot-swap + verify on .116 (adoption-heavy test — .116 already has all containers running)
- [ ] **Step 11** — Chaos matrix on both nodes (all 8 scenarios × all containers incl. bitcoin-core)
## Post-Step 9 bug hunt (.228, 2026-04-23)
User reported three visible dashboard bugs after Step 9 verification:
1. LND — "no connect details or QR"
2. ElectrumX — stuck at "Building index (2 KB / ~130 GB)" for days
3. bitcoin-core — in scope for chaos testing
**Root cause #1 (ExtraHost, commit `3ee192ba`)**: `scripts/first-boot-containers.sh` computed `HOST_GATEWAY` from `ip route show default`, which returns the **LAN router** (e.g. 192.168.1.254), not the gateway to the host. Every container configured with `--add-host=host.containers.internal:$HOST_GATEWAY` was dialing the WiFi router instead of the host. LND crash-looped with `dial tcp 192.168.1.254:8332: connection refused`; ElectrumX's DAEMON_URL hit the same dead end; any `archy-net` bridge consumer of bitcoin-core's RPC was broken. Fixed by replacing the computed value with podman's magic `host-gateway` literal (supported since 4.4; we ship 5.4.2). Live-recreated bitcoin-core/electrumx/lnd on .228 with the corrected `--add-host`; LND reached chain backend; ElectrumX resumed indexing (went from 2 KB → 164.9 MB in under an hour).
**Root cause #2 (macaroon permissions, commit `be960023`)**: LND's `admin.macaroon` lives at `/var/lib/archipelago/lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon`, owned by rootless-podman subordinate UID 100000, mode 640. The archipelago server runs as host UID 1000 and literally cannot read the file. Every LND RPC (`getinfo`, `connect-info`, `export-channel-backup`) plus the shared `lnd_client()` helper failed with "Failed to read LND admin macaroon". **Confirmed pre-existing on .116 too** (long-standing bug unrelated to Step 9). Fix: centralised the path as `LND_ADMIN_MACAROON_PATH`, added a `read_lnd_admin_macaroon()` helper in `api/rpc/lnd/mod.rs` that tries direct read first then falls back to `sudo -n cat` (mirrors the pattern already used for Tor onion hostnames). Four call sites routed through the helper. Verified on .228 — `curl -k https://<host>/lnd-connect-info` now returns 200 with cert + macaroon + tor_onion; dashboard QR unblocked.
## Step 9 evidence (.228, 2026-04-23)
- Binary: Step 9 build with `732df1b8` + `ba83f9bc`, scp'd to .228 as `/usr/local/bin/archipelago`. Old binary backed up at `/usr/local/bin/archipelago.bak-pre-step9`. Later replaced with macaroon-fix build (`be960023`); previous backed up at `/usr/local/bin/archipelago.bak-pre-macaroon`.
- DEV_MODE override disabled (`override.conf` → `override.conf.disabled-pre-step9`).
- `/opt/archipelago/apps/{bitcoin-ui,electrs-ui,lnd-ui}/manifest.yml` populated.
- `/opt/archipelago/docker/bitcoin-ui/Dockerfile` replaced with the Step 7 version (no `COPY nginx.conf`). Old dir backed up as `bitcoin-ui.bak-pre-step9`.
- Post-start snapshot:
- `🔗 Adopted 1 existing container(s): ["electrs-ui"]` — adoption of 13h-running container worked without recreation
- `🔄 Boot reconciler started (interval: 30s)` — every 30s, all three app_ids reach `NoOp` after the initial install pass
- `bitcoin-ui nginx.conf rendered path=/var/lib/archipelago/bitcoin-ui/nginx.conf auth_hash=97af1c18` — pre-start hook fires in `install_fresh`
- `curl localhost:8334` → HTTP 200 (bitcoin-ui), `:8081` → 200 (lnd-ui), `:50002` → 200 (electrs-ui)
- OCI memory limits correctly applied: bitcoin-ui=128Mi, electrs-ui=128Mi, lnd-ui=64Mi (was emitted as 0 pre-fix)
## Bugs fixed this session
1. **`parse_memory_limit` truncation bug** (`732df1b8`): lowercased "128Mi" → "128mi" → `trim_end_matches('m')` → "128i" → f64 parse fails → `None.unwrap_or(0)` → OCI `memory.limit:0` → systemd rejects MemoryMax=0. 6 regression tests; `create_container` now omits instead of emitting 0.
2. **`archipelago.service` cgroup delegation missing** (`ba83f9bc`): belt-and-braces `Delegate=memory pids cpu io`.
3. **ExtraHost `192.168.1.254`** (`3ee192ba`): see Post-Step 9 bug hunt above.
4. **LND admin.macaroon unreadable** (`be960023`): see Post-Step 9 bug hunt above.

Branch is **19 commits ahead of tx1138/main** (local only — user pushes to mirrors personally).
## Uncommitted state
Clean. Only untracked: `tests/` (bats harness from prior session, not in scope), `tmp-dump-spec.py` (scratch).
## Answered design questions (no need to re-ask)
1. UI container naming → `archy-<app_id>` for UIs only; existing bitcoin-knots/lnd/electrumx keep bare names
2. BITCOIN_RPC_AUTH injection → runtime bind-mount of nginx.conf (no build-args, no envsubst)
3. Reconciler interval → 30 seconds
4. Concurrency → per-app `Mutex<()>` in a `DashMap`
5. Bash scripts → split into 8a/8b/8c; 8a done, 8b/8c deferred
6. Step 4 extension → `ContainerOrchestrator` trait includes `install(app_id)`; the `manifest_path`-based install RPC stays dev-only
7. Step 7 bitcoin-ui template → embed via `include_str!`, render on install + every reconcile, atomic tmp+rename to `/var/lib/archipelago/bitcoin-ui/nginx.conf`, bind-mount into container. RPC user hardcoded `archipelago`, password from `/var/lib/archipelago/secrets/bitcoin-rpc-password`.
## Context: which host is what
| Host | IP | Role | Dashboard pw | Sudo pw |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `archy` | 192.168.1.116 | **Dev ThinkPad** (Lenovo X250, Debian 13). Currently running v1.7.42-alpha (DEV_MODE). Step 10 target. | archipelago | ThisIsWeb54321@ |
| `archy228` | 192.168.1.228 | Kiosk HP ProDesk. **Step 9 landing zone** — now running Rust-orchestrator binary in prod mode. | password123 | archipelago |
Both are development alpha nodes — **full destructive latitude**, no need to ask before stop/start/rebuild.
## Next action
**Step 10 — Hot-swap on .116.**
Unlike .228 (which tested the INSTALL path for net-new UI containers), .116 tests the ADOPTION path: it already has all three UIs and all backend containers running from prior v1.7.42-alpha runs. We want to verify the new prod orchestrator adopts every existing container without recreating or restarting them.
Steps:
1. Disable DEV_MODE on .116 (check if override.conf exists — `/etc/systemd/system/archipelago.service.d/`)
2. Stage the already-built binary at `~/Projects/archy/core/target/release/archipelago` → `/usr/local/bin/archipelago.new`
3. Ensure `/opt/archipelago/apps/{bitcoin-ui,electrs-ui,lnd-ui}/manifest.yml` present (copy from repo)
4. Ensure `/opt/archipelago/docker/bitcoin-ui/` matches the Step-7 layout (no baked nginx.conf)
5. Snapshot: `podman ps -a --format "{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.CreatedAt}}"` → save to `/tmp/pre-step10-containers.txt`
6. `systemctl stop archipelago` → install binary → `systemctl start archipelago`
7. Verify in journal: every running container appears in "Adopted N existing container(s)"; no container was recreated; all HTTP smokes still 200; BootReconciler reaches NoOp on every app_id after one pass.
8. If broken → restore `.bak` binary, re-enable DEV_MODE override.
9. Commit STATUS.md update.
**Risk on .116:** If adoption fails mid-flight, we'd lose the running v1.7.42 backend that I'm currently typing at. Keep a second SSH session open to the ThinkPad for emergency revert. The backup plan is `install /usr/local/bin/archipelago.bak /usr/local/bin/archipelago && systemctl restart archipelago`.
**After Step 10 we are blocked on Step 8b** (multi-day manifest ports) before Step 11 (chaos matrix).

### Why Step 8 got split (discovered 2026-04-23)
Original plan was one commit "delete bash + edit ISO builder". But on investigation:
- `first-boot-containers.sh` creates **30+ containers** with per-container logic (wallets, DB init, rpcauth derivations, post-create health waits). The repo only has manifests for 3 (bitcoin-ui, electrs-ui, lnd-ui from Step 7). Deleting bash now = brick first-boot on fresh installs.
- Script also does non-container setup: secret generation (RPC pw, DB pw, FileBrowser admin pw), UID-mapping chowns for rootless podman subuid, Tor hostnames dir, WireGuard, firewall rules, nostr-relay dir. None of this lives in the Rust orchestrator.
- `update.rs` (OTA update RPC) invokes `reconcile-containers.sh` at two sites. Deleting the script breaks package updates. Porting those call sites to the orchestrator needs all containers to have manifests.
- Design doc §505 updated to split 8 → 8a/8b/8c. Only 8a (delete the reconcile systemd unit + timer, BootReconciler covers) is safe to execute before we port manifests.

## Current state
### Fleet status
All four Gitea mirrors are synced to v1.7.40-alpha:
| Mirror | Host | Status |
|---|---|---|
| tx1138 | https://git.tx1138.com | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live |
| gitea-local | http://localhost:3000 | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live |
| .160 | http://23.182.128.160:3000 | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live (Gitea recovered via `podman system renumber` — see below) |
| .168 | http://146.59.87.168:3000 | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live |
Fleet test nodes:
| Node | Version | State |
|---|---|---|
| .103 (dev) | 1.7.40 | running, being developed against |
| .116 (this box) | 1.7.40 | healed manually via `systemd-run chmod 755 /opt/archipelago/web-ui` after v1.7.38/39 bug |
| .198 | 1.7.39 → 1.7.40-alpha | healed manually |
| .228 (primary test) | 1.7.40-alpha | healed manually; bitcoin-core + lnd + electrumx running; UI companions currently missing; bitcoin.conf rpcauth patched live |
| .249 (ISO test) | unreachable today | |
| .253 | 1.7.39 → 1.7.40-alpha | healed manually |
### Known open issues (drives the plan below)
1. **UI companion containers disappear** on .228 after daemon restarts — no auto-recreate (fixed by v1.7.45 Quadlet migration)
2. **bitcoin.conf rpcauth drifts** from canonical secret → ElectrumX "Daemon connection problem" (fixed by v1.7.43 reconcile::derived)
3. **`host.containers.internal`** resolves to LAN gateway inside containers on some versions (fixed by v1.7.42 containers.conf)
4. **Podman state DB loss** requires manual recovery (fixed by v1.7.44 startup self-heal)
5. **LND "Connect Wallet" info** vanishing after crashes — symptom of the same drift class as #2
6. **ElectrumX not syncing** on .228 — downstream of #2; will resolve when bitcoin.conf is reconciled
### Recent field incident (2026-04-22)
- Shipped v1.7.38 + v1.7.39, both broke nginx fleet-wide because the frontend tarball's root dir was `drwx------` (700). Every node that OTA'd got 500 errors on every page.
- Root-cause fix shipped in v1.7.40 (`create-release-manifest.sh` chmod + pre-ship assertion that `tar tvzf | head -1` shows `drwxr-xr-x`).
- .160 Gitea was down all day (502) because its rootless podman's `libpod/bolt_state.db` had vanished. Recovered via clearing `/run/user/$UID/{containers,libpod,podman}` + `podman system renumber`.
- Full failure-mode audit is in [`bulletproof-containers.md`](./bulletproof-containers.md).
---
## Plan
We're shipping a level-triggered **reconciler + Quadlet** architecture over six incremental releases. Each release closes one failure mode. See [`bulletproof-containers.md`](./bulletproof-containers.md) for the full design, code layout, test harness, chaos matrix, sources.
### Release roadmap
| Release | Closes | What lands | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| **v1.7.41** | FM5 (bad OTA nginx 500) | Post-OTA auto-rollback. New binary probes `https://127.0.0.1/` on boot; if non-200 within 90s, restores `web-ui.bak` + calls `rollback_update()` + restarts | **in flight — deploying to .228 for test** |
| **v1.7.42** | FM4 (`host.containers.internal` wrong) | `/etc/containers/containers.conf` w/ `host_containers_internal_ip = 10.89.0.1`; every container gets `--add-host=host.archipelago:10.89.0.1` | pending |
| **v1.7.43** | FM2 (config drift) | `reconcile::derived::render_bitcoin_conf` — pure fn over canonical secret, rewrites on drift. Same for `lnd.conf` | pending |
| **v1.7.44** | FM6 (podman state loss) | Startup probe detects broken podman state, auto-recovers via `/run/user/$UID/*` clear + `system renumber` | pending |
| **v1.7.45** | FM1 + FM3 (companion orphans) | `archy-bitcoin-ui` → Quadlet `.container` unit in `/etc/containers/systemd/`. systemd (not archipelago) owns it | pending |
| **v1.7.46** | — | `archy-lnd-ui` → Quadlet | pending |
| **v1.7.47** | — | `archy-electrs-ui` → Quadlet | pending |
| **v1.7.48+** | all (full daemon refactor) | `core/archipelago/src/reconcile/` module replaces imperative `install.rs` container management. Main app containers become Quadlet too | pending |
Test harness (bats + Goss + Chaos Toolkit + vmtest) lands scaffold in v1.7.41, first lifecycle tests blocking v1.7.45, full matrix blocking beta tag.

## Release history
### [v1.7.41-alpha](/releases/v1.7.41-alpha/) — IN FLIGHT — 2026-04-22
**Post-OTA auto-rollback.** After an update lands, the node probes its own web UI through nginx — if the frontend isn't answering cleanly within 90 seconds, the node automatically rolls back to the previous version and restarts. A bad release can no longer leave the fleet stranded on an unreachable node.
Changes:
- `core/archipelago/src/update.rs`: `PendingVerification` struct, write marker before service restart, `verify_pending_update()` on new binary boot — probes `https://127.0.0.1/`, on fail restores `web-ui.bak` + calls `rollback_update()` + `systemctl restart archipelago`
- `core/archipelago/src/main.rs`: startup task invokes verifier concurrently with server
### [v1.7.40-alpha](https://git.tx1138.com/lfg2025/archy/raw/branch/main/releases/v1.7.40-alpha/) — 2026-04-22
**Proper fix for the 500 error.** Fixed the v1.7.38/39 tarball-perms bug at its source — staging dir is now explicitly `chmod 755` before tar; `--mode=u=rwX,go=rX` normalizes archive perms; pre-ship assertion aborts release if `tar tvzf | head -1` isn't `drwxr-xr-x`.
Changes:
- `scripts/create-release-manifest.sh`: pre-tar chmod + tar --mode flag + post-tar verify
- Everything from .38 + .39 still in place (onboarding auto-heal, silent logins, app purge, AIUI in tarball)
### [v1.7.39-alpha](https://git.tx1138.com/lfg2025/archy/raw/branch/main/releases/v1.7.39-alpha/) — 2026-04-22
**Hotfix attempt** for v1.7.38's nginx 500 (didn't fully work — still shipped broken tarball perms). Added startup self-heal chmod in `main.rs` and post-extract chmod in `update.rs` OTA applier.
### [v1.7.38-alpha](https://git.tx1138.com/lfg2025/archy/raw/branch/main/releases/v1.7.38-alpha/) — 2026-04-22
**Onboarding auto-heal + silent logins + App Store trim.**
Changes:
- `auth.rs`: `is_onboarding_complete()` auto-heals from `setup_complete` + `password_hash` (prevents clear-cache → onboarding wizard bug)
- `useOnboarding`: tri-state — backend-unreachable no longer defaults to `/onboarding/intro`
- Login sounds gated by `isFirstInstallPhase()` — silent after onboarding, typing sounds unaffected
- Removed FIPS app, Nostr Relay, Nostr VPN, Routstr, Penpot from catalog + Rust + docker + icons
- Deleted 15 image versions from tx1138, .168, gitea-local registries
- AIUI baked into release tarball via `demo/aiui/`
- `prebuild` hook syncs `app-catalog/catalog.json` → `public/catalog.json`
(Shipped with tarball-perms bug; fleet had to be healed before v1.7.40.)
### [v1.7.37-alpha](https://git.tx1138.com/lfg2025/archy/raw/branch/main/releases/v1.7.37-alpha/) — 2026-04-22
**Bitcoin Core install fixes + dynamic node UI + full-archive default.**
- Bitcoin Core passes explicit `-rpcbind/-rpcallowip/etc.` CLI args so vanilla image exposes RPC
- Split `bitcoin-core` from `bitcoin-knots` in backend `AppMetadata`
- bitcoin-ui auto-detects Core vs. Knots from subversion, swaps branding at runtime
- Storage (Full Archive · X GB / Pruned) indicator on dashboard
- Node Settings modal shows real values (network, storage, txindex, ZMQ, RPC port)
- Pull fallback to `docker.io` when no mirror carries the image
- Removed `prune=550` hardcode — full archive default
