   "changelog": [
-    "Install, update, and remove now runs asynchronously so the dashboard no longer freezes for 30+ seconds while podman pulls an image.",
-    "Install progress bar now advances through seven labelled phases (Preparing, Pulling image, Creating container, Starting, Waiting for health, Finalizing, Done) instead of staying at 0% until the very end.",
-    "Launch button appears the moment an install finishes instead of waiting up to 60 seconds for the next container scan.",
-    "Retired the dead .23 Hetzner mirror; new nodes default to OVH (146.59.87.168) as Server 1 and tx1138 as Server 2. Existing nodes auto-purge saved .23 entries.",
-    "Update-available badges and version comparisons work again: the pinned-image catalog is now read from the path the image recipe actually installs.",
-    "Nodes with a separate data drive are no longer silently configured as pruned Bitcoin nodes. Disk-size check now measures the data partition instead of the OS partition.",
-    "Failed updates can recover: reconcile-containers.sh gained --create-missing to rebuild any container removed by a partial update, and update.rs uses it in the rollback path.",
-    "OTA self-updates now refresh reconcile-containers.sh, container-specs.sh, and image-versions.sh alongside the backend and frontend.",
-    "Container install log is actually written now. Path moved to /var/log/archipelago/container-installs.log with a tmpfiles.d rule to pre-create the directory with the right ownership.",
-    "Chunked mesh payloads no longer lose their first four bytes. The encoder was overwriting user data with its length header before running forward error correction.",
-    "Avatar rendering no longer crashes when the seed byte is 182 or higher. Hue and accent colour math now runs in 32-bit space.",
-    "Outbox messages with a zero-second TTL expire immediately instead of lingering forever.",
-    "Pinned-image parser rejects entries that are not actual image references, so stray NOT_AN_IMAGE style variables no longer pollute version checks.",
-    "AI Assistant tab no longer disappears after updates. demo/aiui is bundled into every release tarball and ISO so AIUI is a versioned first-class part of each release rather than loose state on disk that can be wiped by a directory swap."
+    "Bitcoin RPC authentication is now bulletproof. The credential is rendered to a host file and bind-mounted into bitcoin-ui, so it stays correct across container restart, image update, reboot, or service restart. Replaces the previous fragile post-start patch that failed on tightly-confined containers.",
+    "Install progress bar now advances through real phases for multi-container apps too. IndeedHub's seven containers, BTCPay's four, Mempool's three, and Immich's three all show Preparing → Pulling image (X of N) → Creating container → Waiting for health → Done — no more sitting at 0% until the very end.",
+    "Apps no longer disappear from the dashboard mid-install. The container scanner now respects in-flight installs, updates, and removals, and won't evict an app whose containers haven't finished launching.",
+    "IndeedHub fresh installs no longer crashloop. Five missing environment variables (DATABASE_PORT, QUEUE_HOST, QUEUE_PORT, S3_PRIVATE_BUCKET_NAME, AES_MASTER_SECRET) are now set so the API boots. The node's Nostr signer integration works on fresh installs.",
+    "Tailscale install no longer fails with 'executable not found'. Container command was a malformed shell string; now a proper command array.",
+    "Removed three broken catalog entries that hung installs for 10 minutes (dwn, endurain, ollama — no source images in our registries). Nextcloud restored, sourced from docker.io.",
+    "Bitcoin Core update path uses the correct image name (was looking for nonexistent lfg2025/bitcoin:28.4).",
+    "New ISO installs now allocate swap (sized to RAM, capped at 8GB, on the encrypted data partition). Without swap, container builds and memory spikes were hitting OOM under load."
