THE apply fix
archipelago.service uses ProtectSystem=strict, so /opt and /usr are
read-only inside the service's mount namespace. sudo inherits that
namespace — every sudo mkdir/mv/chown from apply_update was hitting
EROFS even as root. Every prior "Failed to apply update" was a
symptom of this. New `host_sudo()` helper wraps every filesystem
call in `sudo systemd-run --wait --collect --pipe -- <cmd>`, which
spawns a transient unit with systemd's default (no ProtectSystem)
protections — the command runs in the host namespace and can touch
/opt/archipelago + /usr/local/bin normally.
FIPS cascade (#2)
Home.vue and Server.vue both carry a FIPS row that previously only
looked at {installed, service_active, key_present}. Now they also
read anchor_connected + authenticated_peer_count and mirror the
full FIPS card: green "Active · N peers" when healthy, orange "No
anchor" when the DHT bootstrap has failed.
Profile paste URL fallback (#4)
Web5Identities.vue list + editor previously had `@error="display:none"`
on the <img>, which hid the tag without re-rendering the fallback —
a broken pasted URL showed up blank. Replaced with reactive
pictureLoadFailed / listPictureFailed flags plus a watcher that
resets on URL change. Broken URL now falls back to the initial (or
identicon for seed-derived identities).
Small-upload data URL (#3)
Uploaded profile pictures ≤ 64 KB are now inlined as
`data:image/png;base64,...` into profile.picture on the client
before calling update-profile. That kind-0 event is fetchable by
any Nostr client — no Tor needed. Larger uploads fall back to the
onion-rooted public_url with a hint telling the user to paste a
public https:// URL for broader visibility.
Deferred: #1 FIPS Reconnect "actually fixes" — the current Reconnect
calls fips.restart which clears the daemon state, but when the
anchor is truly unreachable (UDP 8668 blocked by network/ISP), no
amount of restart can help. A richer diagnostic is out of scope for
this bundle.
