+# CLAUDE.md — Archipelago (Archy) Project Guide
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Archipelago is a **Bitcoin Node OS** — a bootable, self-sovereign personal server you flash to USB, install on hardware, and manage via a web UI. Similar to Umbrel/Start9/RaspiBlitz but custom-built with production-grade security.
+
+**Stack**: Rust backend + Vue 3 (Composition API) + TypeScript (strict) + Vite 7 + Tailwind CSS + Pinia + Podman
+**Target OS**: Debian 12 (Bookworm) — x86_64 and ARM64
+**Current version**: 0.1.0
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Frontend local dev (mock backend on :5959, Vite on :8100)
+cd neode-ui && npm start
+
+# Deploy to live server (frontend + backend + restart services)
+./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live
+
+# Deploy to both servers
+./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --both
+
+# Frontend build (outputs to web/dist/neode-ui/)
+cd neode-ui && npm run build
+
+# Type-check frontend
+cd neode-ui && npm run type-check
+
+# Rust checks (run on dev server, NOT macOS)
+cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features
+cargo fmt --all
+cargo test --all-features
+```
+
+Dev server: `http://192.168.1.228` | Local frontend: `http://localhost:8100` (password: `password123`)
+

+
+### Data Paths (Server)
+
+- App data: `/var/lib/archipelago/{app-id}/`
+- Secrets: `/var/lib/archipelago/secrets/{app-id}/` (encrypted)
+- Frontend: `/opt/archipelago/web-ui/`
+- Backend binary: `/usr/local/bin/archipelago`
+- Systemd service: `/etc/systemd/system/archipelago.service`
+- Nginx config: `/etc/nginx/sites-available/archipelago`
+
+## CRITICAL Workflow Rules
+
+### 1. NEVER Build Rust on macOS for Linux
+
+Always rsync source to the Linux dev server and build there. Building on macOS and copying the binary causes Exec format errors.
+
+```bash
+# Deploy does this automatically:
+./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live
+```
+
+### 2. Always Deploy After Changes
+
+After editing code (frontend, backend, scripts, or configs), deploy to the live server. Do not leave deployment to the user.
+
+### 3. Frontend Build Output Path
+
+Frontend builds to `web/dist/neode-ui/` — NOT `neode-ui/dist/`.
+
+### 4. Deploy-Test-Fix Loop
+
+1. Make the change
+2. Deploy with `./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live`
+3. Test at http://192.168.1.228
+4. If broken, fix and redeploy — repeat until working
+5. End loop only when everything works
+
+### 5. SSH Access
+
+- **Primary**: `archipelago@192.168.1.228` — password: `EwPDR8q45l0Upx@`
+- **Secondary**: `archipelago@192.168.1.198`
+- Credentials stored in gitignored `scripts/deploy-config.sh`
+
+```bash
+sshpass -p 'EwPDR8q45l0Upx@' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no archipelago@192.168.1.228
+```
+
+## Frontend Rules (Vue.js + TypeScript)
+
+### Component Standards
+
+- **Always** `<script setup lang="ts">` — never Options API, never plain JS
+- **Pinia** for all state management — focused single-purpose stores
+- **TypeScript strict mode** — no `any`, use `unknown` or proper types
+- Export types from dedicated `.types.ts` files
+- Use type guards for runtime type checking
+
+### Styling — Global Classes Only
+
+- **ALWAYS** create global utility classes in `neode-ui/src/style.css`
+- **NEVER** use inline Tailwind classes directly in components
+- Use semantic class names: `.glass-card`, `.glass-button`, `.gradient-button`, `.path-option-card`
+
+### API Client Rules
+
+- Use `@/api/rpc-client.ts` for RPC calls, `@/api/container-client.ts` for containers
+- **NEVER** hardcode API endpoints — use environment variables
+- Handle loading states, error states, retry logic for all async operations
+
+### CSS Class Hierarchy
+
+| Class | Use | Hover |
+|-------|-----|-------|
+| `.path-option-card` | Section containers, interactive cards (Settings-style) | Lifts -2px |
+| `.glass-card` | Content containers, modals, panels | No |
+| `.info-card` | Status badges, metric displays | No |
+| `.info-card-button` | Action buttons inside info sections | Lifts, brightens |
+| `bg-black/20 rounded-xl border border-white/10` | Info sub-cards inside sections | No |
+| `bg-white/5` | Simple read-only info rows | No |
+| `.glass-button` | ALL buttons (primary and secondary) | Subtle brighten |
+| `.path-action-button` | Large action buttons (Logout, Continue) | Lifts -2px |
+
+### BANNED Classes — Do NOT Use
+- **`.gradient-button`** — REMOVED. Use `.glass-button` instead. The gradient style breaks the clean glass aesthetic.
+- **`.gradient-card`** / **`.gradient-card-dark`** — REMOVED. Use `.glass-card` or `.path-option-card` instead.
+
+### Design Tokens
+
+- **Font**: Avenir Next (primary), Montserrat (`font-archipelago`)
+- **Spacing**: 4px grid system, 16px default padding
+- **Glassmorphism**: `background: rgba(0,0,0,0.60)`, `backdrop-filter: blur(24px)`, `inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.22)`
+- **Transitions**: `all 0.3s ease` standard, `translateY(-2px)` hover, `translateY(1px)` active
+- **Accent orange** (Bitcoin): `#fb923c` — `#f59e0b`
+- **Green** (success): `#4ade80` | **Red** (danger): `#ef4444` | **Blue** (info): `#3b82f6`
+- **Text**: `rgba(255,255,255,0.9)` primary, `rgba(255,255,255,0.6-0.7)` muted
+
+### Tailwind Custom Values
+
+- Blur: `backdrop-blur-glass` (18px), `backdrop-blur-glass-strong` (24px)
+- Colors: `glass-dark` (0,0,0,0.35), `glass-darker` (0,0,0,0.6), `glass-border` (255,255,255,0.18)
+- Shadows: `shadow-glass`, `shadow-glass-inset`
+
+## Backend Rules (Rust)
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- **No `unwrap()` or `expect()` in production code** — use `?` operator
+- `thiserror` for library error types, `anyhow` for application errors
+- Custom error types per module: `{module}::Error`
+- Include context: `.context("What failed and why")`
+
+### RPC Endpoints
+
+- Use `rpc_toolkit::command` macro for all endpoints
+- Use `#[context] ctx: RpcContext` for context
+- Return `Result<T, Error>` — validate all inputs before processing
+
+### Async & Runtime
+
+- `tokio` runtime only — never mix with other async runtimes
+- Set timeouts on all external operations
+- Use `select!` for racing futures with timeouts
+- Handle shutdown gracefully with cancellation tokens
+
+### Code Organization
+
+- New modules in `core/{module-name}/`, add to `core/Cargo.toml` members
+- `snake_case` for all modules/files
+- Run `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features` and `cargo fmt --all` before commits
+
+### Logging
+
+- Use `tracing` for structured logging — never `println!`
+- Never log secrets, passwords, keys, or tokens
+- Include context: `tracing::info!(user_id = %id, "Action")`
+
+## Container & Security
+
+### App Manifests
+
+- All manifests in `apps/{app-id}/manifest.yml`
+- Follow spec in `docs/app-manifest-spec.md`
+- Use `archipelago_container::PodmanClient` — **NEVER** call Docker directly
+
+### Security Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
+
+- **ALWAYS** `readonly_root: true` unless explicitly needed
+- **ALWAYS** drop all capabilities, add only required ones
+- **ALWAYS** run as non-root user (UID > 1000)
+- **ALWAYS** `no-new-privileges: true`
+- **NEVER** use `latest` tag — pin specific image versions
+- **NEVER** hardcode secrets — use `core/security/secrets_manager.rs`
+
+### App Icons
+
+Single source of truth: `neode-ui/public/assets/img/app-icons/`
+Naming: `{app-id}.{png|webp|svg}` — do not duplicate elsewhere.
+
+## Code Quality
+
+- Zero compiler warnings (Rust and TypeScript)
+- Zero linter errors (clippy, eslint)
+- Functions under 50 lines, single responsibility
+- Comment WHY not WHAT — code should be self-documenting
+- Remove dead code entirely — never comment it out
+- No `TODO`/`FIXME` in commits — fix now or create issues
+- Workspace-relative paths only — **NEVER** hardcode `/Users/dorian/...`
+
+## Git Conventions
+
+### Commit Format
+
+```
+type: description
+```
+
+**Types**: `feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `test:`, `chore:`, `perf:`
+
+### Rules
+
+- Atomic commits — one logical change per commit
+- `main` branch always production-ready
+- Feature branches: `feature/description`, bug fixes: `fix/description`
+- Never commit secrets, `.env` files, or credentials
+- Tag releases: `v1.2.3` (SemVer)
+
+## App Integration Checklist
+
+When adding or fixing apps:
+
+1. Test the app UI loads on its configured port
+2. Auto-connect dependencies (Bitcoin RPC, LND, etc.) — apps must work out of the box
+3. Ensure `get_app_config()` in `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc.rs` has correct env vars
+4. Most apps launch in iframe; BTCPay (23000) and Home Assistant (8123) open in new tab (X-Frame-Options)
+
+## ISO Build
+
+Build on the target server (has all dependencies):
+
+```bash
+ssh archipelago@192.168.1.228
+cd ~/archy/image-recipe
+sudo ./build-auto-installer-iso.sh
+# Result: results/archipelago-auto-installer-*.iso
+```
+
+After testing on live server, always update ISO build to include changes. Sync system configs:
+- `archipelago.service` → `image-recipe/configs/`
+- `nginx-archipelago.conf` → `image-recipe/configs/`
+
+## Key Documentation

+- `docs/current-state.md` — Current development phase
+- `docs/development-setup.md` — Local dev setup
+- `docs/app-manifest-spec.md` — YAML manifest spec

+# Three-Mode UI System: Easy / Pro / Chat
+
+## Overview
+
+Archipelago's UI will support three switchable modes, each targeting a different user experience level:
+
+| Mode | Label in UI | Target User | What They See |
+|------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
+| **Pro** | Pro | Power users, developers, node operators | Current full interface — all services, configs, technical details |
+| **Easy** | Easy | Complete beginners, non-technical users | Goal-based interface — "Open a Shop", "Store My Photos" |
+| **Chat** | Chat | Everyone (future) | Conversational AI interface powered by AIUI |
+
+### Key Principles
+
+1. **Pro mode is preserved** — the current interface stays exactly as-is and continues to be improved
+2. **Same URLs** — modes don't change route paths. `/dashboard` shows different content based on mode
+3. **Cross-surfacing** — Easy mode goals are searchable from Spotlight (Cmd+K) and suggested in Pro mode
+4. **Persistent preference** — mode choice saved to localStorage + backend UIData
+
+---
+
+## How Modes Work
+
+### Architecture: Conditional Rendering
+
+Rather than separate route trees (`/easy/home`, `/pro/home`), the mode controls **what renders within existing routes**:
+
+```
+Dashboard.vue (shared shell)
+  ├── Sidebar → nav items change per mode
+  ├── ModeSwitcher → always visible in sidebar
+  └── <RouterView>
+        └── Home.vue (dispatcher)
+              ├── <GamerHome /> (Pro mode)
+              ├── <EasyHome />  (Easy mode)
+              └── <ChatHome />  (Chat mode)
+```
+
+This means:
+- Auth guards, WebSocket, stores — all shared
+- URLs never change — bookmarks work regardless of mode
+- Both modes use the same component library (glass-card, glass-button, etc.)
+
+### Navigation Per Mode
+
+**Pro Mode** (current, 7 items):
+```
+Home → My Apps → App Store → Cloud → Network → Web5 → Settings
+```
+
+**Easy Mode** (simplified, 3 items):
+```
+Home → My Services → Settings
+```
+
+**Chat Mode** (4 items):
+```
+Home → Chat → My Apps → Settings
+```
+
+---
+
+## Easy Mode: Goal-Based Interface
+
+### The Problem
+
+Current interface says: "Here are 20+ services you can install. Figure out which ones you need, install them, configure them to talk to each other."
+
+Easy mode says: **"What do you want to do?"**
+
+### Goal Cards (Easy Mode Home)
+
+When in Easy mode, the Home screen shows goal cards instead of the current 4 technical overview cards:

+
+**Smart features:**
+- Steps already satisfied (app running from a previous goal) are auto-completed
+- Dependency resolution: Bitcoin must be running before LND can start
+- Real-time progress from WebSocket data patches
+- `configure` steps open the app in the iframe launcher for the user to complete

+```
+
+When AIUI is integrated, this becomes the conversational interface where users can say things like "Set up a Lightning node" and the system guides them through it via chat.
+
+---
+
+## Data Model
+
+### UIMode Type
+
+```typescript
+type UIMode = 'gamer' | 'easy' | 'chat'
+```
+
+Stored in:
+- `localStorage` as `archipelago-ui-mode` (immediate, works offline)
+- `UIData.mode` on the backend (synced via WebSocket, persists across devices)
+
+### Goal Types
+
+```typescript
+interface GoalDefinition {
+  id: string                    // 'open-a-shop'
+  title: string                 // 'Open a Shop'
+  subtitle: string              // 'Accept Bitcoin payments with your own store'
+  icon: string                  // Icon identifier
+  category: string              // 'commerce', 'payments', 'storage', etc.
+  requiredApps: string[]        // ['bitcoin-core', 'lnd', 'btcpay-server']
+  steps: GoalStep[]             // Sequential steps
+  estimatedTime: string         // '~45 minutes'
+  difficulty: 'beginner' | 'intermediate'
+}
+
+interface GoalStep {
+  id: string
+  title: string                 // 'Install Bitcoin Node'
+  description: string
+  appId?: string                // Which app this step provisions
+  action: 'install' | 'configure' | 'verify' | 'info'
+  isAutomatic: boolean          // Can system do this without user input?
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+| Phase | What | Files Changed | Visible Effect |
+|-------|------|--------------|----------------|
+| 1 | Data layer | types, stores, data files | None (foundation) |
+| 2 | Mode switching | Dashboard, Settings, Router | Mode toggle appears, nav changes |
+| 3 | Easy mode views | Home refactor, EasyHome, GoalDetail | Easy mode is functional |
+| 4 | Chat + polish | Chat placeholder, Spotlight goals, Pro goals section | Complete system |
+
+Each phase deploys independently. Phase 1 is invisible. Phase 2 adds the switcher. Phase 3 makes Easy mode work. Phase 4 polishes everything.
+

-## 🎯 Overview
-
-This guide demonstrates the **complete package lifecycle** in Neode:
-1. ✅ Browse marketplace
-2. ✅ Install s9pk package  
-3. ✅ Launch running app
-4. ✅ Uninstall package
-
-**All using REAL Docker containers** - exactly like production!
-
---
-
-## 🚀 Quick Start
-
-### 1. Start the Development Server
-
-```bash
-cd /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/neode-ui
-
-# Start both mock backend + Vite
-npm run dev:mock
-
-# OR run them separately:

-node mock-backend.js
-
-# Terminal 2:
-npm run dev
-```
-
-### 2. Open Neode UI
-
-Go to: http://localhost:8100
-
-Login with: `password123`
-
---
-
-## 📦 Test the Complete Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Check Starting State

-   ```
-   [Docker] Installing atob from /packages/atob.s9pk
-   [Docker] S9PK path: /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/neode-ui/public/packages/atob.s9pk
-   [Docker] Extracting s9pk...
-   [Docker] Loading image from .tmp-atob/docker_images/aarch64.tar...
-   [Docker] Starting container atob-test...
-   [Docker] ✅ atob installed and running on port 8102
-   ```
-
-3. **Automatically redirected to Apps page**
-4. **ATOB now appears in your apps list!**
-
-### Step 4: Launch ATOB
-
-1. **Click "Launch"** on ATOB
-2. **Opens** http://localhost:8102

-
-## 🔍 What's Happening Behind the Scenes
-
-### When You Click "Install"
-
-1. **Frontend** calls RPC: `package.install`
-   ```javascript
-   rpcClient.call({
-     method: 'package.install',
-     params: {
-       id: 'atob',
-       url: '/packages/atob.s9pk',
-       version: '0.1.0'
-     }
-   })
-   ```
-
-2. **Mock Backend** receives call and:
-   - Extracts the s9pk file (23MB)
-   - Loads Docker image from `docker_images/aarch64.tar`
-   - Creates and starts container: `atob-test`
-   - Maps port 8102 → container port 80
-
-3. **WebSocket** broadcasts update:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "rev": 1699876543210,
-     "patch": [
-       {
-         "op": "add",
-         "path": "/package-data/atob",
-         "value": { /* full package data */ }
-       }
-     ]
-   }
-   ```
-
-4. **Frontend** receives patch:
-   - Updates Pinia store
-   - UI reactively shows ATOB
-
-### When You Click "Uninstall"
-
-1. **Frontend** calls RPC: `package.uninstall`
-2. **Mock Backend**:
-   - Stops Docker container: `docker stop atob-test`
-   - Removes container: `docker rm atob-test`
-   - Removes from mockData
-
-3. **WebSocket** broadcasts:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "rev": 1699876543987,
-     "patch": [
-       {
-         "op": "remove",
-         "path": "/package-data/atob"
-       }
-     ]
-   }
-   ```
-
-4. **Frontend** applies patch:
-   - Removes ATOB from store
-   - UI updates instantly
-
---
-
-## 🐳 Docker Verification
-
-You can verify the Docker container is real:
-
-### While ATOB is Installed
-
-```bash
-# List running containers
-docker ps
-# You'll see: atob-test
-
-# View container logs
-docker logs atob-test
-
-# Access directly
-curl http://localhost:8102
-# Returns HTML with iframe
-
-# Open in browser
-open http://localhost:8102
-```
-
-### After Uninstall
-
-```bash
-# Container should be gone
-docker ps -a | grep atob-test
-# No results
-```
-

-
-## 🔄 Production Compatibility
-
-### What's the Same
-
-✅ **UI Components** - Work identically  
-✅ **RPC Methods** - Same API calls  
-✅ **WebSocket Updates** - Same patch format  
-✅ **S9PK Format** - Exact same package  
-✅ **Docker Container** - Exact same image
-
-### What's Different
-
-| Development | Production |
-|------------|-----------|
-| Mock backend (Node.js) | Real backend (Rust) |
-| Local s9pk file | Marketplace URL or uploaded file |
-| Container name: `atob-test` | Container managed by StartOS |
-| Port 8102 | Tor address / LAN address |
-| Docker CLI commands | Managed by backend daemon |
-
---
-
-## 🐛 Troubleshooting
-
-### "S9PK file not found"
-
-```bash
-# Make sure file exists
-ls -lh /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/neode-ui/public/packages/atob.s9pk
-
-# If missing, copy it:
-cp ~/atob-package/atob.s9pk /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/neode-ui/public/packages/
-```
-
-### "Port 8102 already in use"
-
-```bash
-# Find what's using it
-lsof -i :8102
-
-# Stop old container
-docker stop atob-test
-docker rm atob-test
-
-# Or kill the process
-kill -9 <PID>
-```
-
-### "Docker command not found"
-
-```bash
-# Make sure Docker is running
-docker ps
-
-# If not installed, install Docker Desktop:
-# https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
-```
-
-### "WebSocket not updating"
-
- Check browser console for errors
- Make sure mock backend is running on port 5959
- Refresh the page (F5)
-
---
-
-## 🎯 Demo Script
-
-**For showing to others:**
-
-1. "This is Neode, a self-hosted app platform"
-2. "Let's check what's installed" → **Apps page**
-3. "Now let's browse what we can add" → **Marketplace**
-4. "I want ATOB for Bitcoin tools" → **Click Install**
-5. *Watch it install in real-time* → **Console logs**
-6. "It's installed! Let's launch it" → **Click Launch**
-7. *ATOB opens in new tab* → **Show the interface**
-8. "Now let's look at the details" → **App Details page**
-9. "I can start, stop, restart it" → **Point to buttons**
-10. "And if I don't want it anymore..." → **Click Uninstall**
-11. *Confirm and watch it disappear* → **Back to Apps**
-12. "Gone! But I can reinstall anytime" → **Back to Marketplace**
-
---
-
-## 🚀 Next Steps
-
-### For Portainer Deployment
-
-1. Add packages directory to volume
-2. Update `portainer-stack-vue.yml`:
-   ```yaml
-   services:
-     neode-backend:
-       volumes:
-         - ./neode-ui/public/packages:/app/public/packages:ro
-   ```
-
-3. Push to GitHub
-4. Update stack in Portainer
-5. Test installation flow remotely!
-
-### For Real Backend Integration
-
-1. Connect UI to real Rust backend
-2. Test with actual StartOS installation
-3. Verify Tor/LAN addresses work
-4. Test on Raspberry Pi hardware
-
---
-
-## ✅ Success Criteria
-
-You've successfully tested the installation flow when:
-
- ✅ You can install ATOB from Marketplace
- ✅ ATOB appears in Apps list after install
- ✅ You can launch ATOB at http://localhost:8102
- ✅ You can see ATOB details page
- ✅ You can uninstall ATOB
- ✅ ATOB disappears from Apps list
- ✅ Docker container is removed
- ✅ You can reinstall via sideload
- ✅ All changes happen in real-time
- ✅ No page refreshes needed
-
---
-
-**🎉 Congratulations!**
-
-You now have a fully functional package installation/uninstallation system that works with real Docker containers!
-
-This is **production-ready** - the only difference in real Neode is the backend language (Rust instead of Node.js).

-## Overview
-
-The Neode marketplace is now integrated with the StartOS registry. You can browse, install apps, and sideload local packages directly from the UI.
-
-## What Was Added
-
-### 1. **RPC Client Methods** (`src/api/rpc-client.ts`)
- `getMarketplace(url)` - Fetch apps from a marketplace URL
- `sideloadPackage(manifest, icon)` - Upload local .s9pk packages
-
-### 2. **Store Actions** (`src/stores/app.ts`)
- Connected marketplace methods to Pinia store
- Available throughout the app via `useAppStore()`
-
-### 3. **Marketplace UI** (`src/views/Marketplace.vue`)
- **Browse Apps**: View apps from Start9 Registry or Community Registry
- **Install Apps**: One-click installation from marketplace
- **Sideload Packages**: Upload local .s9pk files
- **App Details**: Modal with full app information
- **Loading/Error States**: Polished UX with proper feedback
-
-## Using the Marketplace
-
-### Testing the UI Locally
-
-```bash
-cd /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/neode-ui
-npm run dev
-```
-
-Navigate to: `http://localhost:8100/marketplace`
-
-### Development Workflow
-
-1. **Start Backend** (if you have it running locally):
-   ```bash
-   cd /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode
-   # Start your Neode backend on port 5959
-   ```
-
-2. **Start Vue Dev Server**:
-   ```bash
-   cd neode-ui
-   npm run dev
-   ```
-
-3. **Access Marketplace**: Visit `http://localhost:8100` and login, then navigate to Marketplace
-
-### Marketplace URLs
-
-The UI is preconfigured with:
- **Start9 Registry**: `https://registry.start9.com` (default)
- **Community Registry**: `https://community-registry.start9.com`
-
-You can easily add more marketplaces by editing `Marketplace.vue`:
-
-```typescript
-const marketplaces = ref([
-  { name: 'Start9 Registry', url: 'https://registry.start9.com' },
-  { name: 'Community Registry', url: 'https://community-registry.start9.com' },
-  { name: 'My Custom Registry', url: 'https://my-registry.example.com' },
-])
-```
-
-## Installing Apps
-
-### From Marketplace
-
-1. Navigate to **Marketplace** in the sidebar
-2. Browse available apps
-3. Click on an app card to see details
-4. Click **Install** button
-5. Installation will start (job ID logged to console)
-
-### Sideload Local Package
-
-1. Click **Sideload Package** button (top right)
-2. Select your `.s9pk` file
-3. Upload will begin automatically
-
-**Note**: Full sideload implementation requires parsing the s9pk file format in the browser. For now, use the backend CLI for sideloading (see below).
-
-## Backend CLI Method (Recommended for Development)
-
-For reliable package installation during development:
-
-```bash
-# Build the StartOS CLI
-cd /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/core
-cargo build --release --bin startos
-
-# Install a package
-./target/release/startos package.sideload /path/to/package.s9pk
-
-# List installed packages
-./target/release/startos package.list
-
-# Start/stop packages
-./target/release/startos package.start <package-id>
-./target/release/startos package.stop <package-id>
-
-# Uninstall
-./target/release/startos package.uninstall <package-id>
-```
-
-## Creating Your First Package
-
-See **`PACKAGING_S9PK_GUIDE.md`** for a complete guide on packaging the nostrdevs/atob project (or any containerized app) as an `.s9pk` file.
-
-Quick overview:
-1. Create package directory with manifest.yaml
-2. Export Docker image
-3. Add icon, license, instructions
-4. Pack with `startos pack`
-5. Install via UI or CLI
-
-## API Reference
-
-### RPC Methods Available
-
-```typescript
-// Fetch marketplace catalog
-await rpcClient.getMarketplace('https://registry.start9.com')
-
-// Install from marketplace
-await rpcClient.installPackage('bitcoin', 'https://registry.start9.com', '1.0.0')
-
-// Sideload local package
-await rpcClient.sideloadPackage(manifestObj, iconBase64)
-
-// Package management
-await rpcClient.startPackage('bitcoin')
-await rpcClient.stopPackage('bitcoin')
-await rpcClient.restartPackage('bitcoin')
-await rpcClient.uninstallPackage('bitcoin')
-```
-
-### Store Methods
-
-```typescript
-import { useAppStore } from '@/stores/app'
-
-const store = useAppStore()
-
-// Marketplace
-const apps = await store.getMarketplace('https://registry.start9.com')
-
-// Installation
-const jobId = await store.installPackage('bitcoin', marketplaceUrl, '1.0.0')
-
-// Package control
-await store.startPackage('bitcoin')
-await store.stopPackage('bitcoin')
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. **Frontend** (Vue): Makes RPC calls to `/rpc/v1` endpoint
-2. **Backend** (Rust): Handles marketplace fetching, package installation
-3. **WebSocket** (`/ws/db`): Real-time updates for package status
-4. **Registry**: External marketplace servers provide app catalogs
-
-### Data Flow
-
-```
-Vue Component
-    ↓
-Pinia Store
-    ↓
-RPC Client (fetch /rpc/v1)
-    ↓
-Backend (Rust startos)
-    ↓
-Marketplace Registry OR Local S9PK
-    ↓
-Docker Container Installation
-    ↓
-WebSocket Update (package status)
-    ↓
-Vue Component (reactive update)
-```
-
-## Customization
-
-### Adding Custom Registries
-
-Edit `src/views/Marketplace.vue`:
-
-```typescript
-const marketplaces = ref([
-  { name: 'My Registry', url: 'https://my-registry.com' },
-])
-```
-
-### Styling
-
-All marketplace UI uses the global glassmorphism utilities:
- `.glass-card` - Glass card container
- `.glass-button` - Glass button style
- `.gradient-button` - Gradient button with hover
-
-Modify these in `src/style.css` to change the entire marketplace look.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Marketplace Not Loading
-
-1. **Check backend is running**: Ensure Neode backend is accessible at port 5959
-2. **Check CORS**: Vite proxy should handle this (see `vite.config.ts`)
-3. **Check console**: Open browser DevTools and look for RPC errors
-4. **Try different registry**: Switch to Community Registry to test
-
-### Installation Fails
-
-1. **Check backend logs**: Look for errors in Neode backend
-2. **Verify package format**: Use `startos inspect package.s9pk`
-3. **Check disk space**: Ensure sufficient space for package installation
-4. **Review dependencies**: Some packages require other packages first
-
-### Sideload Not Working
-
-Currently, browser-based sideload requires s9pk parsing library. Use CLI method:
-
-```bash
-cd /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/core
-cargo build --release
-./target/release/startos package.sideload /path/to/package.s9pk
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. **Test with Real Backend**: Connect to a running Neode instance
-2. **Package ATOB**: Follow `PACKAGING_S9PK_GUIDE.md` to create your first package
-3. **Add Installation Progress**: Show progress bars for ongoing installations
-4. **Implement Package Updates**: Add update checking and one-click updates
-5. **Add Package Search**: Filter/search functionality for large catalogs
-
-## Resources
-
- **StartOS Registry**: https://registry.start9.com
- **Package Development**: See `PACKAGING_S9PK_GUIDE.md`
- **Backend Source**: `/Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/core/startos/src/`
- **Manifest Schema**: `/Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/core/startos/src/s9pk/manifest.rs`
-
-## Development Tips
-
-### Hot Reload
-
-Vite provides instant hot reload. Save any Vue file and see changes immediately without refresh.
-
-### Mock Data
-
-For UI development without backend:
-
-```typescript
-// In Marketplace.vue, temporarily mock data:
-async function loadMarketplace() {
-  loading.value = false
-  apps.value = [
-    {
-      id: 'bitcoin',
-      title: 'Bitcoin Core',
-      description: 'A full Bitcoin node',
-      version: '25.0.0',
-      icon: '/assets/img/bitcoin.png'
-    },
-    // ... more mock apps
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### Debug RPC Calls
-
-Add logging to `src/api/rpc-client.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-async call<T>(options: RPCOptions): Promise<T> {
-  console.log('RPC Call:', options)
-  const response = await fetch(/* ... */)
-  const data = await response.json()
-  console.log('RPC Response:', data)
-  return data.result as T
-}
-```
-

-
-**Happy packaging!** 🎁
-
-If you have questions or run into issues, check the backend logs and browser console for debugging information.

-# Packaging Apps for Neode/StartOS
-
-This guide explains how to package containerized applications (like nostrdevs/atob) as `.s9pk` files for installation on Neode.
-
-## What is an S9PK?
-
-An `.s9pk` file is a package format for Neode/StartOS that contains:
- **Manifest** (metadata, dependencies, interfaces)
- **Docker Images** (your containerized app)
- **Icon** (PNG/WEBP/JPG)
- **License** (LICENSE.md)
- **Instructions** (INSTRUCTIONS.md)
- **Configuration** (optional config.yaml)
- **Actions** (optional scripts for user actions)
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. **Install StartOS SDK** (needed for packing):
-   ```bash
-   # Clone the Neode repo (you already have this)
-   cd /Users/tx1138/Code/Neode
-   
-   # Build the SDK
-   cd core
-   cargo build --release --bin startos
-   
-   # The binary will be at: target/release/startos
-   ```
-
-2. **Docker** for building container images
-
-## Creating an S9PK for nostrdevs/atob
-
-### Step 1: Create Package Directory Structure
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/atob-package
-cd ~/atob-package
-```
-
-Create the following structure:
-```
-atob-package/
-├── manifest.yaml          # Package metadata
-├── LICENSE.md             # License file
-├── INSTRUCTIONS.md        # User instructions
-├── icon.png              # 512x512 icon
-├── docker_images/        # Docker image archive
-│   └── aarch64.tar       # or x86_64.tar
-└── scripts/
-    └── procedures/
-        └── main.ts       # Main entry point
-```
-
-### Step 2: Create manifest.yaml
-
-```yaml

-
-### Step 3: Create LICENSE.md
-
-Copy your project's license or create a simple one:
-
-```markdown
-# MIT License
-
-Copyright (c) 2025 Nostr Devs
-
-Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
-of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal
-in the Software without restriction...
-```
-
-### Step 4: Create INSTRUCTIONS.md
-
-```markdown
-# ATOB Instructions
-
-## Getting Started
-
-1. After installation, ATOB will be available at the interface URL
-2. Access it through the Neode dashboard
-3. Configuration is automatic
-
-## Usage
-
-[Add specific instructions for your app]
-
-## Support
-
-For issues, visit: https://github.com/nostrdevs/atob/issues
-```
-
-### Step 5: Add an Icon
-
-Create or download a 512x512 PNG icon and save it as `icon.png`
-
-### Step 6: Export Docker Image
-
-```bash
-# Build your Docker image
-cd /path/to/atob
-docker build -t atob:latest .
-
-# Save the image
-mkdir -p ~/atob-package/docker_images
-docker save atob:latest -o ~/atob-package/docker_images/$(uname -m).tar
-
-# The filename should match your architecture:
-# - x86_64.tar for Intel/AMD
-# - aarch64.tar for ARM64/Apple Silicon
-```
-
-### Step 7: Create scripts/procedures/main.ts
-
-This is the entry point for your service:
-
-```typescript
-import { types as T, matches, YAML } from "../deps.ts";
-
-// This is the main entry point for your service
-export const main: T.ExpectedExports.main = async (effects: T.Effects) => {
-  return await effects.createContainer({
-    image: "main",
-    entrypoint: ["/bin/sh"],
-    mounts: {
-      main: "/data",
-    },
-  });
-};
-
-// Properties that will be displayed in the UI
-export const properties: T.ExpectedExports.properties = async (
-  effects: T.Effects
-) => {
-  return {
-    version: "0.1.0",
-    "Automatic TOR Address": {
-      type: "string",
-      value: effects.interfaces.main.torAddress,
-      qr: true,
-      copyable: true,
-      masked: false,
-    },
-  };
-};
-
-// Health check
-export const health: T.ExpectedExports.health = async (effects: T.Effects) => {
-  return await effects.health.checkWebUrl("http://main.embassy:80");
-};
-```
-
-### Step 8: Build the S9PK
-
-```bash
-# Navigate to your package directory
-cd ~/atob-package
-
-# Use the StartOS CLI to pack it
-/Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/core/target/release/startos pack
-
-# This will create: atob.s9pk
-```
-
-### Step 9: Install on Neode
-
-**Option A: Via CLI (Direct)**
-```bash
-# Copy the .s9pk to your Neode server
-scp atob.s9pk user@neode-server:/tmp/
-
-# SSH into the server
-ssh user@neode-server
-
-# Install using CLI
-startos package.sideload /tmp/atob.s9pk
-```
-
-**Option B: Via UI (Once Marketplace is Connected)**
-1. Navigate to Marketplace in Neode UI
-2. Click "Sideload Package"
-3. Upload `atob.s9pk`
-4. Wait for installation to complete
-
-## Testing Your Package
-
-### Validate Before Installing
-```bash
-# Inspect the package without installing
-/Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/core/target/release/startos inspect atob.s9pk
-```
-
-### Development Workflow
-
-1. **Make changes** to your manifest or scripts
-2. **Rebuild** the s9pk: `startos pack`
-3. **Uninstall** old version: `startos package.uninstall atob`
-4. **Install** new version: `startos package.sideload atob.s9pk`
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Adding Configuration Options
-
-Add to `manifest.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-config:
-  get:
-    type: script
-  set:
-    type: script
-
-# Then create scripts/procedures/getConfig.ts and setConfig.ts
-```
-
-### Adding User Actions
-
-```yaml
-actions:
-  restart-service:
-    name: "Restart Service"
-    description: "Manually restart the ATOB service"
-    warning: "This will temporarily interrupt service"
-    allowed-statuses:
-      - running
-    implementation:
-      type: docker
-      image: main
-      entrypoint: "restart.sh"
-```
-
-### Multi-Architecture Support
-
-Build for multiple architectures:
-
-```bash
-# Build for x86_64
-docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t atob:amd64 .
-docker save atob:amd64 -o docker_images/x86_64.tar
-
-# Build for ARM64
-docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 -t atob:arm64 .
-docker save atob:arm64 -o docker_images/aarch64.tar
-```
-
-## Resources
-
- **StartOS Package Manifest Schema**: [Official Docs](https://docs.start9.com)
- **Example Packages**: `/Users/tx1138/Code/Neode/core/startos/test/`
- **SDK Reference**: Built binaries in `core/target/release/`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Package Won't Install
- Check manifest syntax: `yamllint manifest.yaml`
- Verify docker image exists: `tar -tzf docker_images/aarch64.tar | head`
- Check logs on server: `journalctl -u startos -f`
-
-### Service Won't Start
- Check container logs: `docker logs $(docker ps -a | grep atob | awk '{print $1}')`
- Verify entrypoint script exists and is executable
- Check volume mounts in manifest
-
-### Interface Not Accessible
- Verify port mappings in `interfaces` section
- Check that your container is listening on the correct port
- Wait for TOR address generation (can take 2-3 minutes)
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-```bash
-# Pack a package
-startos pack
-
-# Inspect a package
-startos inspect atob.s9pk
-
-# Install (CLI)
-startos package.sideload atob.s9pk
-
-# List installed packages
-startos package.list
-
-# Uninstall
-startos package.uninstall atob
-
-# Check package status
-startos package.properties atob
-```
