chore: release v1.7.48-alpha

Hotfix: archipelago.service ExecStartPre now mkdirs /run/containers and
/var/lib/containers before the unit's mount-namespace setup tries to bind
them. Without this, fresh nodes that don't have /run/containers (e.g.
nodes provisioned without a prior podman session) fail at the namespace
step with:

  Failed to set up mount namespacing: /run/containers: No such file or directory
  Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /bin/bash: No such file or directory

Existing nodes don't pick up systemd unit changes via OTA — they need a
one-time `systemctl edit archipelago` adding the same mkdir. ISO installs
from this version forward have the fix baked in.

 # Changelog
 
+## v1.7.48-alpha (2026-04-29)
+
+- archipelago.service no longer fails to start with "Failed to set up mount namespacing: /run/containers: No such file or directory" on nodes where /run/containers wasn't pre-created. ExecStartPre now creates it. Existing nodes need a one-time `systemctl edit archipelago` to add the mkdir; ISO installs from this version forward have the fix baked in.

 ## v1.7.47-alpha (2026-04-29)
 
 - Bitcoin Knots/Core sync is now significantly faster. The container now uses every available core for script verification (was capped at 2) and has 8GB of memory instead of 4GB so its 4GB UTXO cache has headroom for the mempool and peer connections. Existing nodes pick up the new limits on next install/update; freshly-installed nodes start at full speed.
