Archipelago never touched /etc/tollgate/identities.json — the "owner" payout identity was whatever the router's TollGate install happened to default to. Confirmed live against archy-x250-pa3: an unmodified upstream placeholder (tollgate@minibits.cash), meaning 79% of every customer payment would auto-payout to an address the operator never chose and doesn't control. Adds TollGateConfig.payout_address (opt-in — None leaves the router untouched), config::apply_payout_identity() to merge it into the "owner" entry of identities.json without disturbing the merchant keypair or the other profit-share identities, an RPC param on openwrt.provision-tollgate, and a status field + reconfigure-form input in the OpenWrt Gateway panel.
