The boot reconciler only self-healed a fully-absent container for one of
8 hardcoded "required baseline" apps (bitcoin-knots, electrumx, lnd,
mempool*, filebrowser, fedimint-clientd) — every other genuinely-installed
app whose container went missing (crash, lost record, wedged teardown)
was left as Left("absent") forever, with no path back short of an
explicit manual reinstall.
Surfaced live: indeedhub's backend containers (minio/postgres/relay) went
absent on .116 and never recovered despite indeedhub still being
installed. By the time this code path runs, the app is already confirmed
NOT user-stopped and NOT user-uninstalled (both checked earlier in the
same function, backed by durable markers correctly cleared on
reinstall/start) — so gating self-heal further behind a hardcoded app-id
list was an unnecessary restriction, not a safety measure. An app the
user installed and never removed should come back on its own, same as
baseline services always have.
Deleted the now-dead is_required_baseline_app(); updated the test that
had locked in the old (wrong) behavior.
