Fixed a critical bug where nodes on 'Check & Apply Daily' could end up offline after their nightly update. The scheduler was killing the service a moment too early, before the built-in restart handler could bring the new version back up — leaving the node dead until someone SSH'd in. The scheduler now uses the same restart path as the 'Install Update' button, so auto-applied updates come back online on their own.
Applies automatically — no action needed on your end beyond taking this update.

Your node no longer offers a version you've already passed as an 'available update'. If you sideload or skip a release, any stored pointer to an older version is dropped on next restart — the System Update page only offers genuinely newer releases.
Version comparison is now numeric rather than alphabetic. 1.7.10 correctly outranks 1.7.9 (the old string-order would've got this backwards once patch numbers hit double digits), so update prompts stay accurate past the nines.
A stale manifest from a slow cache or proxy can no longer downgrade your node. If the manifest reports a version equal to or behind what's running, the node treats that as 'up to date' rather than offering the older version as an update.

When a download gets stuck, you can now cancel it. A new Cancel Download button sits next to the progress bar — it stops the transfer, clears the partial file, and returns you to a clean state so you can retry. No more staring at a frozen bar with no way to recover.
Downloads that stall for 30 seconds or more now say so. The progress bar turns amber and shows 'Download appears stuck — try Cancel and start again' instead of just sitting silently at whatever percent it reached.
Canceling is fast. It no longer has to wait out the retry timer — the download bails within half a second, so you're not stuck watching a stuck screen while you wait to unstick it.

Federation is bidirectional and instant. When someone joins via your invite code, their node appears on your Federation page automatically — no Sync click needed. Names and details populate within seconds of the handshake.
Nodes can no longer federate with themselves. Accepting an invite that points back at the local node (by DID, pubkey, or onion) is rejected up front, so self-peering no longer clutters the node list.
Transitive discovery: if A and B are federated and C joins A, all three nodes learn about each other. New peers arrive as Observer entries on existing federation members — promote to Trusted with one click instead of trading a second invite code.
The Federation page auto-refreshes every five seconds while open. Status changes, new peers, and incoming join requests surface on their own.

Updates survive network hiccups. Downloads now resume from exactly where a dropped connection left off, and retry up to 6 times with increasing gaps between attempts, instead of restarting from byte zero or giving up.
The download progress bar now shows real progress. Instead of a fake number that creeps to 95% and freezes, you see the actual bytes arriving, and it continues to update correctly even if you navigate away and come back.
Update check itself retries on slow responses. If git.tx1138.com is momentarily overloaded, the node tries three times with a five-second wait between attempts before concluding you're up to date.

Installing an update now shows a full-screen progress overlay with the Archipelago logo, a status message, and an animated bar. The page reloads itself automatically once the new version is up — no manual refresh. If something stalls, a 'Reload now' button appears after a few minutes.
Download progress no longer looks frozen near the end. The bar pauses at 95% with a 'Finishing download — verifying checksum…' message and spinner while the last bytes arrive and are hashed.
FIPS Reconnect now genuinely tries to fix the anchor. It runs a proper recovery sequence (stop → start → wait for the bootstrap window → check peers) and tells you the likely reason it's still unreachable — corrupt identity key, seed not unlocked, network blocking UDP, or the anchor server being down — instead of a generic 'try again'.
Healed a latent FIPS identity bug: the public-key file was being written in text form (an 'npub1…' string) on some nodes, which the daemon couldn't parse and silently authenticated with a garbage key. The Reconnect button now rewrites the file in the correct binary format and re-installs the config before restarting — nodes stuck with no peers for 'no reason' should come back online.
AIUI (Claude sidebar) is back. The installer now ships AIUI in the frontend bundle and preserves it across future updates — it was being wiped on every OTA because it lived outside the Vue build.
Installing a big app (IndeedHub, Bitcoin, Penpot) no longer gives up early and shows 'didn't work' while the download is still running in the background. The client waits up to 45 minutes for the install pipeline to finish.
'Rollback to Previous' is now labelled 'Rollback Available' — clearer that it's a choice you have, not a status you're stuck with.

App catalog now loads reliably. Before, the Marketplace / Discover page couldn't fetch the catalog of apps because the upstream host wasn't sending the right CORS headers and the node's security policy didn't allow the fallback URL either. The node now fetches the catalog server-side and serves it same-origin to the browser — no more blank app lists.

Nothing new — version bump so freshly-installed nodes (from the 1.7.11 ISO) have something to OTA down, confirming the end-to-end update pipeline out of the box.

OTA proof release — first version where Install Update should run clean from the UI with no manual steps. Click it and watch the sidebar flip to 1.7.11-alpha on its own.

Install Update actually applies now. The installer had to write into system folders that the backend service was sandboxed out of — every earlier 'Failed to apply update' was a layer of that onion. Fixed by running the file swaps in a separate system context.
FIPS status on the Home and Server pages now reflects whether the public anchor is reachable. You'll see 'Active · N peers' (green) when healthy or 'No anchor' (orange) when the network is blocking the bootstrap — same signal as the full FIPS card.
Pasting an https://… URL into the profile picture or banner now previews correctly. Before, if the URL failed to load, the UI would silently blank out instead of showing your initial as a placeholder.
Uploaded profile pictures under 64 KB are now embedded directly in your Nostr profile (as a data URL), so any Nostr client can see them — not just ones routing over Tor. Larger uploads keep the onion URL for now, with a hint to paste a public URL for wider visibility.
