Subject: [PATCH 001/118] fix(machine): add 6 new themes to electron
 VALID_THEMES allowlist

db074e2 added countrysidecastle/darkmatter/emeraldforest/lightgreen/
neobrut/starrynight to the renderer's ThemeId union and style.css but
not to the electron main-process branding allowlist. branding.json
'theme' values outside the allowlist were silently dropped (theme=null),
so the renderer fell through to the localStorage theme (cyberpunk).

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The VALID_THEMES set in electron/main.ts duplicated the renderer's
ThemeId list and silently coerced any unlisted branding.json theme to
null — which is how darkmatter regressed to the localStorage theme after
db074e2 added themes to the renderer but not this allowlist (fixed in
a0c2f38). Remove the second list entirely: pass raw.theme through and
let useTheme's applyBrandingTheme (themes[] + the 'custom' branch) be
the single validation point. Unknown values are ignored downstream, so
nothing reaches the DOM unvetted.

Separate payment (Nostr↔LNbits, SaaS-operator-owned), fleet control
(Nostr #42, machine-operator-owned), and access/recovery (SSH) planes
by trust owner. Recovery access is provisioned at install and
app-independent. Adopt NetBird for the access plane (scale + fully FOSS
self-hostable control plane; rejects Tailscale's closed control plane).

Reject a dashboard 'revoke SaaS-operator access' toggle as a false

plane, so exclusion is by ownership (operator self-hosts), not by
toggle.

+# ADR-002: Remote Access & Fleet Management — Three Planes, Operator-Owned Access via NetBird
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-06-14
+**Context:** Multi-operator bitSpire fleet — separating the payment, control, and recovery planes by who owns them.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **Separate three planes by trust owner**, and never conflate them:
+   - **Payment plane** — ATM ↔ LNbits over the nostr-native-transport. Owned by the **SaaS operator**. Implies *no* machine access.
+   - **Fleet control plane** — routine ops/telemetry/enrollment over Nostr (see [#42](https://git.atitlan.io/aiolabs/bitspire/issues/42)). Authorized by the **machine operator's** key.
+   - **Access / recovery plane** — SSH for the unanticipated and the broken. Owned by the **machine operator**.
+
+2. **The machine operator's own recovery access is provisioned at install and is app-independent.** Their SSH key and their VPN/NetBird enrollment are established when the machine is set up, so they can always reach a box even when the bitSpire app or OS is broken. Access for *anyone else* is runtime-granted, scoped, and revocable — never the owner's own path.
+
+3. **Adopt NetBird as the standard access/recovery plane**, chosen for fleet scale and a **self-hostable, fully FOSS control plane**. The platform may provide a default NetBird setup as a convenience; a machine operator who does not wish to trust whoever runs that control plane **disables it and provisions their own access plane** (self-hosted NetBird, or their own WireGuard hub).
+
+4. **We will NOT build a "revoke SaaS-operator access" toggle in the operator dashboard.** It is a false promise of security: the SaaS operator runs LNbits (and, in the default deployment, the NetBird control plane), so a toggle they ultimately control cannot protect a machine operator against them. The honest boundary is **exclusion-by-ownership, not exclusion-by-toggle** — an operator who wants to exclude the SaaS operator takes ownership of the access plane.
+
+## Context
+
+### The players
+
+A deployed bitSpire machine sits between two distinct principals:
+
+- **SaaS operator** — runs the LNbits instance and provides the Lightning backend as a service.
+- **Machine operator** — owns the physical ATM(s) and is identified by a Nostr key (the operator pubkey in the [#42](https://git.atitlan.io/aiolabs/bitspire/issues/42) allow-list).
+
+These are different parties with different interests. A machine operator will want to SSH to their own machine for support and recovery, and **may or may not want to grant the SaaS operator that same access.**
+
+### Why the SaaS operator needs zero box access by design
+
+The whole nostr-native architecture (no admin tokens on the kiosk, no inbound network surface, payment over Nostr) means the SaaS operator can deliver the full service **without ever touching the machine**. So "the machine operator may refuse the SaaS operator access" is not a constraint to engineer around — it is the **default that costs nothing**. SaaS-operator box access is a *support convenience*, never a service requirement. The natural posture is therefore **default-deny for the SaaS operator**.
+
+### Why SSH can't be replaced by the Nostr control plane
+
+The Nostr control plane (#42) is a fixed menu of structured, capability-scoped commands dispatched by a handler *inside the app*. It is excellent for routine, auditable, fleet-wide ops on **healthy** machines, and strictly better than SSH for those (signed, scoped, logged, fan-out). But:
+
+- It can only do what a handler was written for; incidents are by definition unanticipated.
+- The listener lives in the app, so it dies exactly when the app dies — the case you most need recovery for.
+
+SSH (arbitrary, interactive, app-independent) is therefore irreducible as the **recovery plane**. The two are complements, not substitutes.
+
+### Why the recovery path must be app-independent
+
+The whole point of a recovery path is to survive the failure of the thing it recovers. So it must not be gated by the bitSpire app, nor by a Nostr command the app dispatches. The kernel/agent that carries the tunnel and `sshd` must come up at boot independent of the app. (`allowedTCPPorts = []` already means `sshd` is unreachable except across the tunnel — the VPN handshake is the outer lock, the SSH key the inner one.)
+
+### Why the single shared hub had to change
+
+The pre-existing design used one WireGuard hub (`170.75.161.21`) run by platform infra. Whoever runs that hub has a standing network path to every enrolled box — i.e. the SaaS operator having access to machines they don't own. Multi-tenancy requires the access plane to be **per-operator or policy-isolated**, rooted in the machine operator, not the platform.
+
+## Options Considered
+
+### Access-plane mechanism
+
+#### Option A: Always-up minimal WireGuard hub
+
+**Pros:** After boot, zero userspace dependency — the kernel holds the tunnel, nothing can crash it short of a kernel/networking fault; smallest, most battle-tested trusted-code surface; simplest possible recovery floor.
+**Cons:** Manual peer management; no policy/ACL/enrollment ergonomics; a single shared hub re-creates the multi-tenant trust problem (must be run per-operator to avoid it); does not scale operationally to many operators × many machines.
+
+#### Option B: NetBird (Selected)
+
+**Pros:** Policy/ACL-based, revocable, per-peer access control; enrollment + audit out of the box; **self-hostable, fully FOSS control plane** — we retain the ability to run and modify every layer; scales to the many-operators × many-machines world #42 anticipates.
+**Cons:** The NetBird agent is a userspace daemon, so the recovery path depends on that daemon being up (less bulletproof than kernel-level always-up WG) — mitigated by it being independent of the bitSpire app, mature, and systemd-restarted; running a control plane is operational weight (acceptable: the platform provides a default; sovereignty-seeking operators self-host).
+
+#### Option C: Tailscale
+
+**Pros:** Best-in-class ergonomics and NAT traversal.
+**Cons:** **Control plane is closed source with no FOSS alternative** (headscale only reimplements the coordination server, chasing an upstream we don't control). Fails the hard requirement that we can always self-host and modify any software we depend on. Rejected on that basis alone.
+
+#### Option D: On-demand tunnel toggled by the Nostr control plane
+
+**Pros:** No standing reachability; every access window is a signed, audited, time-boxed event.
+**Cons:** If the toggle is handled by the app, it fails in the exact recovery scenario (listener died with the app). If handled by a separate daemon, it reintroduces a privileged userspace listener into the recovery path and grows, rather than shrinks, the trusted-code surface. Acceptable only as an **audited convenience layer on top of** an always-available floor (and designed to fail open), never as the load-bearing gate. Not adopted as the primary mechanism.
+
+### Trust model for excluding the SaaS operator
+
+#### Option 1: Dashboard toggle to revoke SaaS-operator access (Rejected)
+
+The SaaS operator controls LNbits (the machine's wallet/account is an LNbits user they can administer) and, in the default deployment, the NetBird control plane. A toggle whose enforcement they ultimately control gives the machine operator no real protection against them — it is security theater. **Rejected as a false promise.**
+
+#### Option 2: Exclusion by ownership (Selected)
+
+The only honest way for a machine operator to exclude the SaaS operator is to **own the access plane**: disable the default (platform-provided) NetBird enrollment and stand up their own — self-hosted NetBird, or their own WireGuard hub. The default deployment trusts whoever runs the control plane *and says so plainly*; operators who won't extend that trust take ownership. Control = ownership; we do not pretend otherwise.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Honest trust boundaries: the SaaS operator has no standing box access by default, and the limits of platform-provided convenience are stated rather than faked.
+- Scales to many operators × many machines via NetBird policy/enrollment, while preserving a self-hosting escape hatch for sovereignty.
+- The recovery plane survives app and OS failure because it is provisioned at install and independent of the runtime.
+- Every dependency remains FOSS and self-hostable — no closed control plane anywhere in the stack.
+
+### Negative
+
+- The NetBird agent is a standing userspace daemon; a box where *both* the app and the agent are down falls to the physical/LAN floor (same floor as any remote scheme — only pure kernel-WG narrows it, at the cost of NetBird's ergonomics). Operators who weight reliability over ergonomics can choose self-hosted plain WireGuard.
+- Sovereignty for a distrusting operator costs them operational work (running their own access plane). This is inherent to "control = ownership," not incidental.
+- Two enrollment surfaces at provisioning: app/payment identity (#42 seed URL) and system/access identity (this plane). They must be kept conceptually distinct.
+
+### Future Considerations
+
+- An **audited convenience layer** (Nostr `OpenAccess`/`CloseAccess` that opens a time-boxed SSH window and logs it as a signed event) may be added *on top of* the always-available floor, designed to fail open, for the routine "let me in" case. It is explicitly not the recovery gate.
+- The machine operator's Nostr key can become the single root of trust across all three planes — SSH `authorized_keys` + VPN enrollment at install, `AddOperator`/`RevokeOperator` (#42) for delegation — so granting/revoking any party (including the SaaS operator) is one scoped, revocable capability model.
+- `sshd` posture should be tightened to key-only for deployed boxes (password auth is currently forced on for installed configs for first-boot provisioning; scope it to the LAN/first-boot window). Tracks with [#51](https://git.atitlan.io/aiolabs/bitspire/issues/51).

Subject: [PATCH 004/118] refactor(nostr): route signing + encryption through a
 Signer abstraction
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Introduce a Signer interface (signEvent / nip44Encrypt / nip44Decrypt +
sync pubkey) with an in-process LocalSigner backed by an nsec, and route
every signing/encryption call site through it. Behaviour is unchanged —
LocalSigner wraps the same MachineIdentity the code used directly before.

This is Phase A of the bunker migration (aiolabs/bitspire#52): it puts the
seam in place so Phase B can drop in a NIP-46 BunkerSigner at the bootstrap
without touching any call site. The whole chain becomes async (the bunker
path is a relay round-trip; LocalSigner resolves immediately).

Sites moved onto the signer:
- packages/nostr-client: createSignedEvent / createAuthEvent (now async),
  NostrClient config (signer not identity), AUTH challenge handler.
- packages/lnbits: LnbitsClient.initialize(nostr, signer); kind-21000 RPC
  encrypt + sign + reply-decrypt; handleReply is now async (event-id dedup
  still runs synchronously before the awaited decrypt, so replay safety and
  per-subscription hash dedup are preserved).
- apps/machine: lightning.ts builds a LocalSigner and exposes it on
  LightningServices; operator-config / operator-fees / availability beacon /
  maintenance beacon / fund-atm all sign + encrypt via the signer.

NIP-42 auth (kind 22242) is included — under the bunker it must be in the
spire policy (aiolabs/spirekeeper#26, already merged).

Subject: [PATCH 005/118] refactor(nostr-client): retire dead NIP-44 v1 /
 Lightning.Pub path

Drop encryptContent / decryptContent / decryptJSON and the hand-rolled
XChaCha20 + v1 conversation-key machinery they depended on (~230 lines).
The only callers were createMachineStatusEvent / createTransactionEvent,
which had no callers in apps/ and were removed in the Signer migration.

This closes the open question carried in aiolabs/bitspire#52: every live
encryption path is NIP-44 v2, and the nsecbunkerd signer is v2-only, so
there is nothing to keep v1 for. encryptContentV2 / decryptContentV2 stay
as the v2 helpers used by the dormant CLINK client + tests.

Subject: [PATCH 006/118] feat(nostr-client): NIP-46 bunker signer + spire
 pairing seed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Phase B of aiolabs/bitspire#52 — the consumer surface for routing signing
to the operator's nsecbunkerd (model A1: the ATM holds only its own NIP-46
transport key; the signing identity lives in the bunker).

- seed.ts: parseSpireSeed for the `spire-seed:v1:<base64url>` contract from
  spirekeeper pairing.py — re-pads stripped base64url, validates
  {v, spire_pubkey, bunker_url, relays}, leaves percent-decoding of the
  bunker URL to parseBunkerInput. seedFingerprint() detects a re-pair.
- bunker-signer.ts: BunkerSigner implements Signer by delegating
  sign_event / nip44_* to nostr-tools' nip46 over the bunker relay. pubkey
  is the spire identity, known synchronously from the seed. connectNewSeed
  redeems the one-shot connect secret; resumeFromBinding reuses the
  persisted transport key WITHOUT re-redeeming (the binding is
  server-persistent). Per-RPC timeout + typed BunkerRejectedError /
  BunkerTimeoutError so callers can distinguish revoked-binding (re-pair)
  from a transient outage.

Unit-tested against a fake inner client (delegation, sync pubkey, timeout,
error mapping) + seed round-trip/validation fixtures. Live-relay wiring is
Phase C; live bunker integration is Phase F.

+ *   one-shot connect secret, bind `client_pubkey → spire_key` on the bunker.
+ * - `resumeFromBinding` — restart: reuse the persisted transport key. The
+ *   binding is server-persistent, so we do NOT re-redeem (the secret is
+ *   spent); we just re-open the relay subscription.

Subject: [PATCH 007/118] feat(machine): persist NIP-46 bunker binding
 (state.db schema v11)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a bunker_binding singleton table + get/save/clearBunkerBinding
accessors holding the ATM's own NIP-46 transport key (client_nsec), the
spire signing pubkey, the bunker URL, and the seed fingerprint. Persisted
so a restart resumes the bunker session without re-redeeming the one-shot
connect secret; a changed fingerprint signals a re-pair.

The v10→v11 migration is idempotent (CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS), and the
v9→v10 block now advances existing.value so a v9 install chains straight
through to v11 in one boot (matching the v6→v8 blocks).

Phase B of aiolabs/bitspire#52. The IPC bridge + bootstrap resolution that
consume these accessors land in Phase C.

Subject: [PATCH 008/118] refactor(clink): route CLINK signing + encryption
 through the Signer

Swap CLINKClient's MachineIdentity for the Signer abstraction: sign_event /
nip44 now go through the signer (async), so the spire identity can live in a
NIP-46 bunker. The kind-21003 management path (operator-driven manual
dispense, the one live CLINK path on dev) decrypts as the spire via the
bunker; the dormant offer/debit paths are migrated too so they're
bunker-ready when CLINK is re-implemented for the upcoming ndebit/k1 spec
(shocknet/CLINK#7, #8).

Part of Phase C, aiolabs/bitspire#52.

Subject: [PATCH 009/118] feat(machine): seed + bunker-binding IPC bridge

get-atm-secrets now returns { spireSeed, bunkerBinding } instead of the raw
nsec (one-shot semantics kept). Adds IPC handlers + preload bindings for
saveBunkerBinding / clearBunkerBinding / resetBootstrapGate so the renderer
can persist a pairing and re-arm the cassette-state hello on re-pair (#56).
resetBootstrapGate added to state-store. Types mirrored in electron.d.ts.

Part of Phase C, aiolabs/bitspire#52.

Subject: [PATCH 010/118] feat(machine): resolve signer from spire seed /
 bunker binding at bootstrap
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New signer-resolver.ts turns the ATM's pairing state into a Signer:
 - seed present, fingerprint differs from stored binding → pair: generate a
   transport key, redeem the one-shot connect secret, persist the binding,
   reset the bootstrap gate (re-publish hello to the new operator, #56);
 - seed matches binding, or binding-only → resume (no re-redeem);
 - neither → ephemeral LocalSigner (dev) or throw (strict/prod).

lightning.ts drops the atmPrivateKey plumbing and calls resolveSigner; the
Phase-A Signer seam means nothing downstream changes. App.vue's maintenance
beacon resolves the same way (best-effort, skips if unpaired).

Part of Phase C, aiolabs/bitspire#52.

Subject: [PATCH 011/118] chore(machine): fund-atm resumes from binding;
 VITE_SPIRE_SEED docs/env
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

fund-atm resolves its signer by resuming the bunker binding from state.db
(the connect token is already spent by the main app, so it can't re-pair);
falls back to a dev nsec via VITE_ATM_PRIVATE_KEY. better-sqlite3 marked
external in the esbuild bundle. .env.example + CLAUDE.md document
VITE_SPIRE_SEED as the prod identity, VITE_ATM_PRIVATE_KEY as dev-only.

(fund-atm is slated for deprecation in favour of the operator funding the
wallet directly via the LNbits UI — kept working for now.)

Part of Phase C, aiolabs/bitspire#52.

+1. **Private keys** — Never log nsec.

The operator's signing key stays in the bunker. The legacy `VITE_ATM_PRIVATE_KEY` is a dev-only fallback.

 3. **Replay** — LNURL-withdraw links use `uses:1` and are deleted on session abort.
 4. **Encryption** — All RPC content is NIP-44 v2. NIP-04 is forbidden.

Subject: [PATCH 012/118] docs(nostr-client): TTL expiry is now a post-bind
 deauth cause
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

nsecbunkerd#27 enforces token lifecycle at sign time (Option D): an expired
token (`expiresAt`) now stops signing post-bind, not just at connect —
reversing the earlier #24 "TTL is connect-window-only" note. A lapsed TTL
now surfaces as the same BunkerRejectedError as a revoke, so the Phase D
re-pair handling covers both. Docstring corrected to say so.

Subject: [PATCH 013/118] feat(lnbits): typed nostr-transport error codes +
 retry policy
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Implements the error-handling layer agreed in the 2026-05-26 cross-session
handshake (aiolabs/bitspire#52). LnbitsClient now rejects ERROR responses
with a typed LnbitsRpcError carrying the machine-readable code + its retry
disposition, so callers (and the state machine, Phase D.3) branch on
disposition rather than string-matching the human-readable message.

- error-codes.ts: LnbitsErrorCode (14 codes, signer/transport/app classes)
  mirroring the lnbits canonical enum; retryPolicyFor() classifier;
  LnbitsRpcError.fromResponse().
- error_code is optional-additive on the wire: an absent or unknown code
  maps to internal_error (retry-once), so this is safe to land before lnbits
  emits codes — no string-matching, no special parser paths.
- invoice_already_paid is flagged terminal-idempotent (isIdempotentSuccess)
  for the cash-out resume-after-reboot case.

Part of Phase D, aiolabs/bitspire#52.

Subject: [PATCH 014/118] feat(machine): re-pair UX on bunker deauth at boot

A revoked / TTL-expired / off-policy bunker binding now surfaces a dedicated
"Pairing Required" screen instead of a raw error, and a signer/relay timeout
shows "Signer Unreachable" (transient). Shared classifyInitError() maps the
typed BunkerRejectedError / BunkerTimeoutError (by name, so it survives bundle
boundaries) to maintenance-screen sentinels, used at every store init catch +
the App.vue fallback. App.vue's nested-ternary screen copy refactored to a
keyed map (cleaner, and the new screens drop in).

Scope: boot-time detection (covers the dominant restart-after-revoke case).
Mid-session re-pair detection (flipping the screen when a sign fails during a
live flow) is a deliberate follow-up.

Part of Phase D, aiolabs/bitspire#52.

Subject: [PATCH 015/118] feat(deploy): provision VITE_SPIRE_SEED for bunker
 pairing (Phase E)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

provision-atm.sh now writes VITE_SPIRE_SEED (the spire-seed:v1: pairing seed
from spirekeeper) as the production identity, validating the scheme prefix;
the generated nsec path is kept only as a dev fallback when SPIRE_SEED is
unset. Relay default moved to the LNbits bundled nostrrelay
(ws://$HOST_IP:5001/nostrrelay/test). .env templates (live.nix + the flake's
installed-default) swap VITE_ATM_PRIVATE_KEY → VITE_SPIRE_SEED and drop the
dead LP-era vars. README notes state.db now also holds the bunker binding
(keep it or re-pair).

Part of Phase E, aiolabs/bitspire#52. Unblocks the Sintra live-pairing smoke.

Note the persisted bunker binding (the ATM's transport key) lives in `state.db` once paired — so on a bunker-backed unit, keep `state.db` too or you'll need to re-pair. `state.db` also holds transaction history. Reuse these in step 7 instead of regenerating.
 
 Also before powering off the Sintra: make sure any unpushed commits on `dev` have been pushed AND `./deploy/push-cache.sh sintra` has run.

Subject: [PATCH 016/118] feat(lnbits): retry-policy switch for idempotent
 reads (Phase D)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The retry half of the 2026-05-26 error-handling agreement (aiolabs/bitspire#52).
`withRetry` retries an operation per the disposition of the error it throws —
LnbitsRpcError.retryPolicy (operator_signer_unavailable/rate_limited →
backoff, internal_error → retry-once) plus transport timeouts — and rethrows
terminal/unknown errors immediately.

Applied ONLY to idempotent reads (getWallet/getBalance/listWallets/getPayment/
decodePayment + the lnurlw read methods). create_invoice / pay_invoice /
lnurlw_create_link are deliberately NOT wrapped — a blind retry would mint a
duplicate or double-pay; their errors surface for flow-level handling. This is
why the switch lives at the per-call read layer, not as a blanket client retry.

Safe to land before lnbits emits error_code: an absent code already maps to
internal_error (retry-once), so reads get one transparent retry on a transient
blip with no behaviour change otherwise. 10 tests (backoff/terminal/timeout/
unknown/onRetry).

Subject: [PATCH 017/118] fix(machine): republish cassettes-state after
 dispense + on reload
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The cassette-state beacon was published only once at bootstrap, so after a
cash-out dispense the operator's view stayed frozen at the bootstrap snapshot
(still 20x4/50x7 after dispensing) — the ATM decremented its local HAL counts
but never told the operator. Coord 2026-06-21 (post cash-out leg).

- operator-config.ts: extract publishCassettesState() (the live, ungated
  publish) out of the one-shot bootstrap; expose it on OperatorConfigService;
  also fire it after an operator-config apply (the "on reload" case).
- atm.ts: republish after each cash-out dispense (complete + partial), once the
  decremented counts are persisted. kind-30078 is replaceable (latest wins) and
  the operator already consumes every update — no operator-side change.

Subject: [PATCH 018/118] feat(machine): secure cash-in via server-stamped
 create_withdraw RPC

Replaces the cash-in LNURL-withdraw creation with the secure create_withdraw
RPC (aiolabs/spirekeeper#31/#32). The ATM now sends only the hardware-attested
gross principal_sats; the operator side verifies the signer, derives fee + NET,
and stamps the link's attribution (source/nostr_sender_pubkey) from the VERIFIED
sender. Closes the dev-stack weakness where the ATM set the withdraw amount +
extra itself (could understate the fee / forge attribution).

- LnbitsClient.createWithdraw(walletId, {principal_sats, fiat_amount?, fiat_code?,
  title?, wait_time?, client_ref?}) -> {link_id, lnurl, net_sats, principal_sats,
  fee_sats}. Non-idempotent (mints a link) -> not retry-wrapped.
- lightning.ts generateLnurlWithdraw: createWithdrawLink -> createWithdraw; the
  ATM no longer computes amount/fee/extra. LNURL-session map re-keyed on link_id
  (the secure response carries no unique_hash); settlement-watch half unchanged
  (subscribe_payments tag:'withdraw', link_id).

Server RPC is live on the dev stack (spirekeeper#32 registered create_withdraw),
so this is ready for the joint cash-in test. typecheck 12/12, full suite + prod
build green.

 against bunker blips
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The beacon's createSignedEvent (a bunker round-trip) sat OUTSIDE its try/catch,
and publish() is fire-and-forget — so a transient BunkerTimeoutError /
BunkerRejectedError during the periodic sign surfaced as an uncaught promise
rejection (seen on the Sintra after a bunker watchdog blip during the cash-in
smoke). Move the sign inside the try; the beacon re-publishes every interval, so
swallow + log is correct.

Subject: [PATCH 020/118] feat(machine): persist scanned spire-seed + signal
 unpaired state for wizard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Foundation for the on-machine QR-pairing wizard (aiolabs/bitspire#52). An
unpaired ATM can now have a seed planted at runtime rather than only via
provisioning:

- electron IPC `state:save-spire-seed` writes VITE_SPIRE_SEED into the runtime
  .env (0600), and `app:relaunch` restarts the kiosk so the normal boot path
  (signer-resolver → connectNewSeed) does the actual bunker pairing. We
  deliberately do NOT pair in-renderer — persist + relaunch reuses the single,
  hardware-tested pairing path.
- signer-resolver throws a typed `NoPairingError` (distinct `.name`, survives
  the bundle boundary) when there's no seed and no binding, instead of a
  generic Error.
- init-error maps NoPairingError → `unpaired`, so the renderer can route a
  fresh machine to the interactive wizard (next commit) rather than a
  dead-end fault screen. Revoked/TTL bindings already map there too — re-pair
  is the same scan-a-fresh-seed flow.

Subject: [PATCH 021/118] feat(machine): pairing-source abstraction + QR/NFC
 capture + seed ingest
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The capture half of the QR-pairing wizard (aiolabs/bitspire#52), behind a
`PairingSource` seam so the wizard UI stays agnostic to how the seed arrives:

- `QrPairingSource` — camera capture + decode via `qr` (paulmillr). Chosen
  over the dormant, unmaintained `jsqr`: `qr` is zero-dependency, auditable,
  dual MIT/Apache, actively maintained, and authored by the same person as the
  `@noble`/`@scure` crypto our nostr stack already trusts. Its `qr/dom.js`
  helper wraps getUserMedia + the per-frame decode loop.
- `NfcPairingSource` — Web NFC scaffold; `isAvailable()` is false on the
  Sintra's Linux Electron, so it's inert until real NFC hardware lands (the
  user flagged NFC as a plausible future pairing method).
- `ingestScannedSeed` — validates the scan parses as a spire-seed (rejecting a
  stray QR), persists it, and relaunches. Covered by unit tests
  (invalid-seed / no-bridge / persist-failed / happy path).
- `availablePairingSources()` probes each source and returns the runnable ones
  in preference order (camera first).

Subject: [PATCH 022/118] feat(machine): render QR-pairing wizard for unpaired
 machines

Wires the capture + ingest pieces into a screen (aiolabs/bitspire#52). When
the machine boots `unpaired` (fresh, or binding revoked/expired) and runs
under Electron, App.vue renders `PairingWizard` in place of the static
"Pairing Required" card.

The wizard probes available sources, shows the camera viewfinder, and on a
valid scan persists + relaunches. A stray/non-seed QR is rejected with a hint
and scanning resumes. NFC (when present) appears as an alternate source
button. Browser dev (no Electron bridge) still falls back to the static card.

+## Pairing (on-machine QR wizard)
+
+A machine with no seed **and** no stored binding boots `unpaired` and, under
+Electron, renders an interactive wizard (`src/components/PairingWizard.vue`)
+instead of a dead-end fault screen. The operator displays the `spire-seed`
+QR (minted by spirekeeper's `/pair`) to the machine's camera; the wizard:
+
+1. captures + decodes via a `PairingSource` (`src/services/pairing/`) — camera
+   today (decode through `qr`, paulmillr's zero-dep lib), NFC scaffolded;
+2. validates the scan parses as a spire-seed (`ingestScannedSeed`), rejecting
+   a stray QR;
+3. persists it as `VITE_SPIRE_SEED` via the `state:save-spire-seed` IPC and
+   relaunches (`app:relaunch`).
+
+Pairing itself is **not** done in the wizard — relaunch lets the normal boot
+path (`signer-resolver` → `connectNewSeed`) redeem the one-shot token, so
+there's one tested pairing path. A revoked/expired binding lands on the same
+wizard (re-pair = scan a fresh seed). Provisioning `VITE_SPIRE_SEED` up front
+still works and skips the wizard.

Adding `qr` (and dropping `jsqr`) changed pnpm-lock.yaml, invalidating the

Subject: [PATCH 025/118] fix(machine): decode QR at intrinsic frame + tuned
 capture resolution

The camera pairing source decoded frames at the <video> element's CSS box
size (qr's readFrame default) rather than the intrinsic frame, and let the
stream stay at the panel-bound ~720p that frontalCamera negotiates from the
screen size. On the 1280x800 kiosk with a fixed-focus 5MP scan camera that
left far too few pixels-per-module for a dense spire-seed QR, so a centered,
in-square code never decoded.

Decode the intrinsic frame (readFrame fullSize=true) and pin a deliberate
1280x960 capture via applyConstraints. lamassu-machine caps QR scanning at
640x480 for decode speed (megapixels only slow the per-frame decode); our
seed QR is denser than a lightning invoice, so 1280x960 balances
pixels-per-module against latency and keeps auto-exposure from blowing out a
frame-filling phone screen.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The dev autoUpgrade flake URL still referenced the pre-migration repo
(aiolabs/lamassu-next), so the Sintra test unit would auto-pull
lamassu-next/dev at 04:00 — which lacks all the bitspire work (the
QR-pairing wizard, etc.) and would revert the box to the old no-seed
build. Repoint it at aiolabs/bitspire?ref=dev, the post-migration home
of this code. lamassu-next still feeds the not-yet-converted production
ATMs (batm3, douro) until they migrate.

The live ISO config set makeEfiBootable + makeBiosBootable but omitted

no isohybrid MBR/GPT — i.e. no partition table. dd'd to a USB stick it
shows iso9660 on the whole device with no ESP, and picky firmware (the
Sintra's Aaeon UP Board) won't recognise it as bootable, falling back to
its android-ia entry. Enabling makeUsbBootable applies the isohybrid MBR
(isohdpfx.bin) + GPT/ESP. Fixes USB boot for every model's live ISO.

Subject: [PATCH 028/118] feat(deploy): add disk-image-sintra-usb with distinct
 partition labels
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A USB-bootable Sintra image variant for booting on a machine whose eMMC
already holds a nixos/ESP-labelled install. make-disk-image hardcodes the
root/ESP labels (nixos/ESP); booting the standard image from USB next to
the eMMC races stage-1's by-label/nixos between the two roots and likely
mounts the eMMC. This variant labels root nixos-usb (via make-disk-image
-L) and relabels the ESP to ESP-USB in a post-step (mtools), with
fileSystems pointed at the new labels. Auto-upgrade is disabled — it's a
portable test / hand-off image, and that also removes scheduled bootloader
writes that could land on the eMMC's ESP.

Subject: [PATCH 029/118] fix(deploy): make the live ISO boot cleanly
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fresh live boots hit a cascade of activation/unit failures because live.nix
shared installed-system config that assumes persistent state:

- bitspire-env chowned /var/lib/bitspire/.env to bitspire:bitspire in the
  default activation order, before `users` runs, so on a fresh boot (no .env
  yet) it failed with 'invalid user'. Move to the attrset form with
  deps=["users"]. (Installed systems skip the block since .env exists.)
- swapDevices=/var/swapfile lives in the live tmpfs and fails to init —
  replace with zramSwap for the low-RAM models' OOM cushion.
- wg0 needs a provisioned key the live boot lacks; it failed and dragged
  network-setup down. Drop the interface on live.
- display-reset runs `xrandr --output eDP-1`, but the Sintra drives HDMI-1
  (no eDP-1) — gate the service off for sintra.

Subject: [PATCH 030/118] fix(machine): resolve signer before LNbits config so
 an unpaired machine reaches the pairing wizard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

initializeLightningServices() validated VITE_LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY (and, in
strict mode, rejected a localhost relay) *before* calling resolveSigner. An
unpaired machine — no seed, no binding, blank .env — therefore threw a generic
config Error that classifyInitError surfaces as the static "ATM Unavailable"
screen, never the NoPairingError that routes to the QR-pairing wizard.

Pairing is what's meant to provide the transport config, so the pairing check
must come first. Move resolveSigner ahead of the strict + server-pubkey
validation: an unpaired machine now throws NoPairingError → 'unpaired' →
wizard regardless of relay/pubkey provisioning, while a paired machine still
hits the config validation it legitimately needs.

Surfaced testing the freshly-built Sintra images (live ISO + USB disk image),
both of which ship a blank .env by design and booted straight to "ATM
Unavailable". bitspire-#70 (part 1 of 2; part 2 = seed carries the LNbits
server pubkey).

Subject: [PATCH 031/118] perf(deploy): slim the kiosk closure (disable TTS,
 Qt, docs)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The disk image was ~6.2 GiB of closure, largely desktop/multimedia baggage a
single-purpose Electron kiosk never uses. Cut the clearly-unused stacks:

- services.speechd off → drops speech-dispatcher's espeak-ng + mbrola voices
  (~1 GB text-to-speech). An ATM does not talk.
- v4l-utils built withGUI=false → drops the entire Qt6 stack (~0.5 GB) that only
  backed the qv4l2 GUI; the v4l2-ctl CLI we actually use for the camera stays.
- documentation off (man/info/NixOS manual) — nobody reads them on a kiosk.

Closure 6.2 → 5.0 GiB. The remaining bulk is electron's own runtime (gtk4/
gstreamer/pipewire, unavoidable), mesa+llvm (GPU), and linux-firmware — those
need heavier / riskier work to touch. Distribute the image as .img.zst.

Subject: [PATCH 032/118] fix(deploy): make disk-image-sintra-usb BIOS+UEFI
 bootable (GRUB)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The USB disk image was systemd-boot (UEFI-only) with make-disk-image's "efi"
table (pure GPT + ESP, protective MBR). The Sintra's Aaeon UP Board firmware
USB-boots in Legacy/BIOS mode — it boots the live ISO via that ISO's isolinux
(BIOS) El Torito image, not the UEFI ESP — so a dd'd systemd-boot image has no
BIOS boot code to execute and the firmware won't list it (a hand-added hybrid
MBR didn't help: nothing to run).

Switch the USB target to GRUB with BIOS + UEFI on make-disk-image's "hybrid"
table: it adds a bios_grub partition, GRUB writes its BIOS stage to the MBR AND
a removable /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI — mirroring the live ISO's dual boot. The
Aaeon now lists it (as two "ia android" entries, BIOS + UEFI) and boots it.
Scoped to disk-image-sintra-usb only; the eMMC install keeps systemd-boot.
ESP stays partition 1 so the ESP-USB relabel step is unchanged.

Verified on hardware: booted from USB into the wizard with the full upboard.nix
hardware config.

Subject: [PATCH 033/118] refactor(deploy): share UP Board serial hardware
 between installed + live ISO
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The sintra live ISO (live.nix) had no serial support — ftdi_sio and the
ttyJ5/ttyJ7 udev symlinks were only in hardware/upboard.nix (installed), so
booting iso-sintra on real hardware failed on the validator + F56 dispenser
while the disk image worked. The two definitions had already drifted (live's
tejo block lacked ttyS4).

Extract the UP Board serial peripherals (usbserial/ftdi_sio/cp210x, the
ttyJ4/ttyJ5/ttyJ7 udev symlinks + permissions, console=tty0) into
hardware/upboard-serial.nix and import it from both upboard.nix (installed
tejo + sintra) and live.nix (sintra only). Single source of truth — the two
artifacts can't drift again. Named upboard-serial (not sintra-serial) since
upboard.nix serves both tejo-installed and sintra-installed.

Camera + LED/SPI rules stay inline in upboard.nix (installed-specific; the
pairing camera works via getUserMedia without the scanner symlink). Verified
by eval: live sintra now carries ftdi_sio + console=tty0 + ttyJ7; installed
sintra/tejo unchanged (serial present, camera present, no console dupe).

Subject: [PATCH 034/118] refactor(nostr-client): slim the spire-seed to carry
 the pubkey once, add lnbits_npub
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The v1 seed spelled the spire pubkey three times — spire_npub, spire_pubkey
(hex), and again inside a full bunker_url — which bloats a QR that's already
hard to scan off the machine's camera. Carry it once, as an npub, and derive
the rest:

- spire_pubkey (hex) ← decode(spire_npub). npub is ~the same length as hex but
  carries a bech32 checksum, so a mis-scanned character is caught instead of
  yielding a wrong-but-valid-looking key.
- bunker_url ← reconstructed from spire_pubkey + bunker_secret + bunker_relay.
- bunker_relay is OPTIONAL, defaulting to relays[0] (option 3): minimal in the
  common case where the bunker shares the event relay, explicit when it differs.
- lnbits_npub is NEW — gives a paired machine its LNbits transport server pubkey
  from the seed itself, so nothing else needs provisioning (bitspire-#70 part 2).

Kept as v: 1 (redefined in place, no compat shim): the seed is a one-shot
pairing token, no bitspire machine has shipped, and a paired machine resumes
from its stored binding, not by re-parsing the seed. Roughly a third smaller
encoded — ~180-200 fewer chars in the QR.

Lockstep: aiolabs/spirekeeper pairing.py must emit the new shape (spire_npub +
lnbits_npub + bunker_secret, drop spire_pubkey/bunker_url) before a new seed can
be minted. Consumer wiring (relays + lnbitsServerPubkey into LightningConfig)
and a resolver-resilience guard for machines holding an old-shape seed land
separately.

Subject: [PATCH 035/118] fix(machine): resume from binding when a stored spire
 seed won't parse
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

resolveSigner parses the stored VITE_SPIRE_SEED on every boot before it checks
the binding, so a machine whose .env still holds a legacy-shape seed would
throw on the new parser (bitspire-#70) and surface "ATM Unavailable" on the
next auto-pull — even though it has a perfectly good, server-persistent binding
to resume from.

Guard the parse: an unparseable stored seed with a binding present falls back
to resuming the binding (authoritative); with no binding it still fails closed,
since the seed is then the only pairing input. Also dedupes the three
resume-from-binding call sites behind a small local.

Subject: [PATCH 036/118] feat(machine): source LNbits transport from the
 pairing seed, not just env
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Completes the consumer half of bitspire-#70: a paired machine gets its LNbits
transport relay(s) + server pubkey from the pairing, so a blank-.env unit reaches
the backend after scanning a seed — no VITE_RELAY_URL / VITE_LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY
provisioning.

- resolveSigner now returns { signer, transport }. transport (relays +
  lnbitsServerPubkey) comes from the seed on a fresh pair / seeded resume, and
  from the binding on a seedless resume. It's threaded out of resolveSigner
  rather than re-parsed in loadLightningConfig because the seed arrives over the
  one-shot get-atm-secrets IPC — a second consumer would break that contract.
- bunker_binding persists relays + lnbits_server_pubkey (state.db v11→v12,
  nullable so pre-#70 bindings resume and fall back to env). Mirrored into
  BunkerBindingRecord (preload + electron.d.ts).
- initializeLightningServices resolves effective transport with env-wins
  precedence (explicit env override for dev, else pairing, else a dev-only
  localhost relay), mutating CONFIG to a single source of truth and building the
  Nostr/LNbits/CLINK clients from the full relay list. Strict + required-config
  validation now run on the resolved values.

state.db round-trip test covers the new columns + their absence on a pre-#70
binding. Renderer + electron typechecks and all 38 machine tests pass.

Subject: [PATCH 037/118] fix(nostr-client): reject non-ws(s):// relays in the
 spire seed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The npubs in the seed are bech32-checksummed, so a mis-scanned character is
caught — but the relay strings are raw inside the base64. A QR misread silently
turned `ws://192.168.0.32:5001/...` into `As://192.168.0.32:5001/...`, which
parsed fine and then crash-looped the machine on an unreachable NIP-46 relay.

Validate every `relays[]` entry (and `bunker_relay`) is a `ws://`/`wss://` URL
at parse time, so a garbled scan is rejected as an invalid seed instead of
persisted. Part of bitspire-#70 pairing robustness.

Subject: [PATCH 038/118] feat(machine): pairing review step with a
 relay-reachability test

A well-formed but unreachable relay (localhost baked into a seed for a remote
machine, a wrong LAN IP, a relay that's down) parses fine and only fails later
as a NIP-46 connect crash-loop. Give the operator a way to catch it on-machine
before committing (bitspire-#70).

The wizard no longer commits immediately on a good scan: it now parses (without
persisting) and shows a review step with the decoded spire + relay(s), a "Test
relay" button (opens a WebSocket + NIP-01 REQ, reports reachable/latency or
unreachable), and Pair / Rescan. Only on "Pair" does it persist + relaunch into
the real pairing path.

- parseScannedSeed: validate-only split of ingestScannedSeed (no persist).
- testRelay: WebSocket reachability probe.

The Electron main's get-config returned relayUrl = VITE_RELAY_URL ||
'ws://localhost:7777'. On an unprovisioned (blank-.env) machine that non-empty
localhost default reached the renderer and, via the env-first precedence, won
over the pairing seed's relay — then failed strict validation as localhost.
That defeated #70's "the seed provides the relay": the Sintra paired fine but
booted with ws://localhost:7777 instead of the seed's nostrclient endpoint.

Return '' when unset so the renderer falls through to the seed's transport
relay (its own ws://localhost:7777 dev fallback only applies when neither env
nor pairing supplies one). Mirror of the renderer default fixed in e578680.

Subject: [PATCH 040/118] fix(deploy): relay + LNbits pubkey are seed-provided,
 not env-pinned (#70)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The bitspire-env activation seeded VITE_RELAY_URL from the relayUrl option
(default wss://relay.aiolabs.dev). Because env wins over the pairing seed, every
fresh machine pinned itself to that relay — which is dead — so a scanned seed's
relay was ignored ("No connected relays"; hit live on the aio-demo USB). Default
relayUrl to "" so both relay and server pubkey come from the seed; a non-empty
option now pins a machine (an explicit override) rather than being the default.
Descriptions updated to match.

Subject: [PATCH 041/118] fix(deploy): provision-atm.sh writes relay/pubkey
 only on explicit override (#70)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The script unconditionally wrote VITE_RELAY_URL + VITE_LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY (and
hard-exited if it couldn't scrape the pubkey), env-pinning every provisioned
machine and defeating the seed — the same bug as the activation default. Make it
seed-first: with a SPIRE_SEED, relay + pubkey come from the seed and are written
only when the operator explicitly passes RELAY_URL / LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY as a
deliberate pin. The no-seed dev-nsec path still scrapes/defaults them. Also drops
the unused VITE_LNBITS_HTTP_URL line.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The maintenance-mode beacon resolved the relay from env only (config.relayUrl ||
VITE_RELAY_URL), so on a blank-.env seed-driven machine it was undefined and the
beacon was skipped — a paired ATM in maintenance never broadcast. It already
resolves the signer (which carries the transport); fall back to
resolved.transport.relays[0], mirroring lightning.ts's env → pairing precedence.

Env table (CLAUDE.md), .env.example, and the deploy README still framed

the stale lamassu-next autoUpgrade flake URL (→ aiolabs/bitspire).

Subject: [PATCH 044/118] refactor(machine): remove dead Lightning.Pub nprofile
 UI (post-3d cutover)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The LP backend was deleted on dev, so VITE_LIGHTNING_PUB_PUBKEY /
config.lightningPubPubkey are never set — the "add this ATM's node to your
wallet" nprofile QR (IdleView dev button + overlay, SupportView ShockWallet
card + deep-link) rendered empty, and the LP fields in RuntimeConfig
(lightningPubPubkey/lightningPubApiUrl/extensionApiUrl) were never populated.
Remove them. The concept has no clean LNbits analog (the ATM is a cash↔LN
gateway, not a node customers peer with) — tracked as a fresh feature request
on lnbits. ShockWallet stays listed as a downloadable wallet (plain URL).

 relay
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The last-ditch dev fallback (used only when neither env nor the pairing seed
supplies a relay) was ws://localhost:7777 — a standalone strfry we no longer
run. Align it to the dev stack's LNbits bundled nostrrelay
(ws://localhost:5001/nostrrelay/test) so the fallback points at a relay that
actually exists.

The Sintra's camera is physically mounted rotated, so the wizard's viewfinder
showed a sideways image — hard to aim at the spire-seed QR. Rotate the preview
90° CCW (-rotate-90). Preview-only: qr-source decodes the raw frame (CSS
transforms don't touch canvas drawImage) and QR decoding is rotation-invariant,
so scanning is unaffected. The viewfinder is a square, overflow-hidden container,
so the rotated square stays in the box.

The bitspire-env activation seeds .env only when ABSENT (never refreshes on
redeploy), and env WINS over the pairing seed — so any value written at first
boot is frozen for the disk's life and silently masks the seed's source. That's
how a dead relay.aiolabs.dev and a provisioned VITE_OPERATOR_PUBKEYS made stale
installs "work" while a fresh machine broke.

Seed ONLY image-baked, non-maskable values (model, fiat, ELECTRON_FORCE_PROD,
DISPLAY, empty VITE_SPIRE_SEED placeholder). Relay + server pubkey come from the
seed; operator pubkey + fee config come from LNbits over the transport — so those
keys are no longer pre-seeded at all. VITE_RELAY_URL / VITE_LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY
are emitted only when the operator deliberately pins them via the Nix options (an
explicit override). Also drops the inert RELAY_URL/LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY lines from
/etc/bitspire/config.env (never loaded — EnvironmentFile is forced to .env).

Verified: built sintra-installed .env template is 5 lines, 0 maskable vars.

Subject: [PATCH 048/118] fix(machine): re-pair wipes the prior operator's
 config + watermarks (#70)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A new-seed re-pair UPSERTed the bunker binding but left fee_config, cassettes,
and the created_at replay watermarks intact. The watermarks are the trap: a new
backend whose first config event has a lower created_at than the old operator's
last event is silently dropped as a replay, so re-pairing a long-lived install
to a fresh backend appears to pair but never picks up new config.

Add resetForRepair() (main-process state-store): in one transaction it clears
fee_config and resets both replay watermarks to 0. Wired function → IPC
(state:reset-for-repair) → preload → renderer, and called from the re-pair branch
in signer-resolver, gated on an existing binding (re-pair only; a first pair has
nothing to reset). Deliberately preserves cassettes/cashbox/transactions — those
track PHYSICAL cash that survives an operator handover; a full wipe is the
factory-reset path.

Subject: [PATCH 049/118] chore(machine): log operator-pubkey provenance so the
 config gap is loud (#70)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Relay + server pubkey already log (env)/(pairing)/(default) provenance; operator
pubkeys did not. An empty operator set silently disables the fees/operator-config
services → the machine sits at "awaiting configuration" with no signal why. Log
the resolved operator pubkey(s) and their source, and flag the empty case
explicitly (pending the #70 P1 server-delivered operator pubkey).

Subject: [PATCH 050/118] feat(deploy): add factory-reset-atm.sh for a
 truly-fresh machine (#70)

Deterministically reproduce a brand-new machine so tests aren't masked by
leftover env/db values: stops bitspire, deletes state.db (+ WAL/SHM), truncates
.env to the minimal image-baked template (preserving model + fiat), restarts.
The ATM then boots unpaired into the wizard exactly like a fresh disk image.
Confirmation-gated (FORCE=1 to skip; ATM_USER= to override the SSH user).

Subject: [PATCH 051/118] feat(machine): consume get_machine_config over the
 transport (#71)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Source the operator pubkey + fee config from LNbits via the get_machine_config
kind-21000 RPC (spirekeeper#41) right after list_wallets, instead of the
operator pubkey coming only from VITE_OPERATOR_PUBKEYS (env). A seed-only
machine (blank .env) had an empty operator allowlist → the fees/operator-config
services disabled themselves → permanent "awaiting configuration". Now it pulls
its config over the already-authenticated channel and configures itself with
zero per-machine provisioning — closing bitspire#70 P1.

- LnbitsClient.getMachineConfig() → sendRpc('get_machine_config') + the
  MachineConfigResponse / FeeConfigWire types.
- lightning.ts, only when VITE_OPERATOR_PUBKEYS is empty (env override still
  wins): set CONFIG.operatorPubkeys from operator_pubkey (re-enables the
  services), and persist fee_config via the existing applyFeeConfig IPC (mapping
  snake_case → camelCase) so atm.ts's awaiting-fees gate clears immediately —
  robust to the replaceable kind-30078 not being fetchable from the relay. The
  live kind-30078 subscription still handles mid-run fee updates.
- Soft-fail: older spirekeeper (no RPC) or a transport error falls back to the
  env/kind-30078 path.

lnbits + machine typecheck clean; lnbits suite 29 pass.

Subject: [PATCH 052/118] fix(machine): decrement cassettes by position, not
 denomination, on cash-out
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

recordTransaction() updated cassette counts with WHERE denomination = ?,
but the v9 migration made position the PK precisely so duplicate
denominations across bays are legal (and the HAL dispense path already
returns authoritative per-position results). On any machine with two
bays of the same denomination, a single dispense drained every matching
bay row — silently corrupting inventory, the operator cassette-state
publish, and out-of-money gating.

- cassettes branch: decrement by c.position
- mock-only fallback (no per-bay results): drain matching bays greedily
  in position order, mirroring the dispenser's own fill order
- regression tests with a duplicate-denomination layout (3 of 5 fail
  against the old code)

Found during the dev-branch architecture review.

Subject: [PATCH 053/118] docs: correct the lamassu-machine licensing boundary
 to commit c0b69d1
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The provenance section claimed v8.1.5 was the last fully-open release.
GitHub history says otherwise: a9234d124d ("chore: add LICENSE",
2023-09-19) removed UNLICENSE and added the proprietary Appendix A SLA,
and the v8.1.5 tag (2023-09-21) already ships it. The true public-domain
boundary is that commit's parent, c0b69d1 ("chore: v8.6.0-beta.9") —
which is further along than 8.1.5 feature-wise.

lamassu-server's own boundary is unverified; flagged in the doc.

Subject: [PATCH 054/118] fix(machine): credit bills on stacked-confirmation,
 not stack command (#58)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Backports the legacy brain.js escrow interlock (from the public-domain
lamassu-machine tree at c0b69d1, see CLAUDE.md provenance):

- The id003/ebds drivers' `billsValid` event (bill physically reached
  the stacker) is now the credit trigger. hal-service tracks
  escrow → in-flight and fires onBillInserted only on confirmation;
  hal:stack-bill no longer synthesizes the credit at command time.
- New BILL_PENDING machine event marks the in-flight bill;
  FINISH_INSERTING is guard-blocked while one is pending, so "done"
  pressed mid-stack can no longer mint an LNURL that includes a bill
  still sitting in escrow (the aiolabs/bitspire#58 loss).
- BILL_INSERTED now requires a matching pending bill (stray or
  out-of-state confirmations are never credited) and BILL_REJECTED
  clears the in-flight marker — a failed/returned stack was never
  credited, so nothing to unwind.
- Escrow decision is fail-closed (legacy _billsRead parity): bill read
  outside insertingBills, or with unknown rate/balance, is returned to
  the customer instead of stacked-and-swallowed (closes the #35 gap at
  the decision point that physically takes the money).
- CashInView disables "Done" and shows a processing hint while a bill
  is in flight; the dev simulator drives the same guarded two-event
  path.

Both loss directions verified against the legacy semantics:
operator-pays-for-unstacked-cash and customer-bill-swallowed-uncredited.

6 new state-machine interlock tests; 27 state-machine + 43 machine-app
tests pass; full build (vue-tsc + vite + electron tsc) clean.

Subject: [PATCH 055/118] feat(deploy): add self-growing disk-image-batm3
 target
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

batm3-installed existed as a nixosConfiguration but had no dd-able disk
image (only the live ISO, which is tmpfs — no persistent state.db/.env).
Mirrors the douro/sintra make-disk-image blocks, with one improvement:
boot.growPartition + fileSystems."/".autoResize so the root partition
and ext4 expand to fill the target drive on first boot. Flashing is
dd-and-done — no manual parted/resize2fs — and the full drive is
available to the nix store from day one (the #55 headroom lesson).

Image-only override via extendModules: the running system's
batm3-installed config (what auto-upgrade rebuilds against) is
unchanged.

Build: nix build .#disk-image-batm3  → result/nixos.img

Subject: [PATCH 056/118] fix(hal): EBDS escrow stack/return latch +
 return-on-disable
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Cash-in stalled on the batm3: a note reached escrow and was read, but the
acceptor never stacked or returned it, and the customer was never
credited. Root cause: EBDS carries the stack/return decision as bits in
the omnibus *poll* command, but the driver sent stack()/reject() as a
single one-shot frame while a free-running 100ms poller kept sending
plain polls. The lone stack frame races/collides with the poller (or its
ack desyncs), gets dropped, and the device holds the note in escrow
indefinitely.

- ebds-rs232: latch the escrow decision (`pendingAction`) into the poll
  command byte and re-assert it on every poll until the device leaves
  escrow (cleared in _process when `!escrowed`). A dropped frame is now
  simply retried on the next poll.
- hal-service: return an escrowed note on disableValidator() — disable
  alone does not release it on EBDS, so an inactivity timeout / cancel
  previously stranded the bill in the transport (observed on the batm3).
- atm store: stringify the `[ATM] Sending event` / `[ATM] State` logs —
  they were printing `[object Object]`, which blinded the cash-in trace.

Verified: hal builds, machine app typechecks. Hardware behaviour to be
confirmed on the batm3 (no unit tests exist for this serial driver).

Subject: [PATCH 057/118] fix(config): point batm3 validator at /dev/ttyMEI
 (was nonexistent ttyACM0)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The batm3 preset defaulted the EBDS validator to /dev/ttyACM0, assuming a
CDC-ACM BNR Advance. The actual MEI acceptor enumerates as a USB-serial
device (ttyUSB*), exposed via the stable udev symlink /dev/ttyMEI
(batm3.nix). Because /dev/ttyACM0 never existed, hal-service skipped the
validator entirely and logged "[HAL] No validator — cash-in disabled", so
Buy Bitcoin silently ignored inserted bills.

Verified on hardware: with the correct device the validator starts, and
(with the EBDS latch fix) a bill escrows → stacks → credits. Removes the
need for the VITE_LAMASSU_VALIDATOR_DEVICE=/dev/ttyMEI per-box override.

The batm3 dispenser used the raw /dev/ttyUSB0, which is
enumeration-order dependent — a re-plug or reboot could reassign
ttyUSB0 to a different adapter. Switch to the stable udev symlink
/dev/ttyF56 (batm3.nix, serial DDDLb103Y23), matching the validator's
/dev/ttyMEI, so both peripherals bind by identity and survive
re-enumeration (incl. on an internal-SATA flash). Per-box override:

Subject: [PATCH 059/118] feat(deploy): USB-bootable batm3 test image
 (disk-image-batm3-usb)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add a USB-bootable BATM3 disk-image target plus the batm3 hardware
changes that make a dd'd USB stick boot reliably on the Dell 9030 AIO.

flake.nix — new `disk-image-batm3-usb` target:
- Distinct partition labels (nixos-usb / ESP-USB) so stage-1 by-label
  resolution can't latch onto an internal SATA drive that already holds
  a generic nixos/ESP-labelled install. Post-build mlabel relabels the
  ESP FAT volume to ESP-USB (bootloader files untouched; UEFI still
  loads /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI).
- /boot mounted nofail + short device-timeout: the firmware already
  loaded the bootloader before Linux; without nofail a slow/late ESP-USB
  enumeration drops to emergency mode with root locked — a dead end.
- NO growPartition/autoResize on the USB image: sfdisk rewriting the
  partition table on first boot is the single most bus-stressing write,
  and flaky USB bridges drop off the bus mid-rewrite (sfdisk wedges in
  uninterruptible D-state and ESP-USB vanishes with the device, so /boot
  times out too). Persistent state is a few MB and the image already
  ships ~2GB free in root. The internal-SATA disk-image-batm3 keeps
  growPartition — a real AHCI SSD won't drop the bus.
- autoUpgrade off (test image, not a managed fleet member).

batm3.nix — USB-boot reliability:
- Add usb_storage to initrd.availableKernelModules so stage-1 binds the
  stick and /dev/disk/by-label/* appears.
- Blacklist uas + usbcore.autosuspend=-1: force the slower-but-reliable
  Bulk-Only Transport path and stop the boot medium being power-suspended
  mid-I/O — both were causing "device offline error" bus drops.

Subject: [PATCH 060/118] fix(deploy): eGalax touchscreen on batm3 (kernel 6.6
 + calibration)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Dell 9030 AIO's built-in eGalax SAW panel (0eef:0001) was unusable:
touches either didn't register or landed in the wrong place. Full fix:

- Pin linuxPackages_6_6. On 25.11's default 6.12 kernel hid-multitouch
  grabs the controller and mis-parses its HID report (axes read stuck)
  and usbtouchscreen refuses to bind. On 6.6 usbtouchscreen binds and
  produces a clean single-touch ABS device (the known-good internal-SATA
  install runs 6.6.68). Mirrors douro.nix's per-hardware kernel pin.

- udev rule now modprobes usbtouchscreen ITSELF before unbinding usbhid
  and handing over via new_id. On a USB boot systemd-udev-trigger fires
  this rule (~2s) before systemd-modules-load loads usbtouchscreen
  (~12s), so new_id previously hit a not-yet-loaded driver and the panel
  bound to nothing. Loading it inline removes the boot-ordering race.

- Add an X evdev InputClass (99-egalax.conf) so X uses evdev + the
  transformation matrix rather than libinput. Mirrors the working
  internal-SATA install.

- egalax-calibrate: add XAUTHORITY (=/home/bitspire/.Xauthority) — the
  actual boot-time bug. Without the auth cookie xinput died with
  "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key / Unable to connect to X server", so
  the coordinate-transformation matrix was never applied and touches
  landed in the wrong place. Also replace the fixed ExecStartPre sleep
  with a 30s retry loop on the eGalax X device appearing — more robust
  to boot timing than a race against display-manager.

Subject: [PATCH 061/118] fix(lightning): cash-in double-charged commission
 (send gross, not net)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Buy Bitcoin short-changed the customer: a $5 buy at 1564 sats/USD with a
12% commission paid out 6056 sats instead of 6882 — an effective ~22.6%.
The commission was applied twice.

`calculateSats` already subtracts the fee (7820 gross → 6882 net) into
`context.satsAmount`. But `generateLnurlWithdraw` then passed that
already-net value as `principal_sats` to the server's create_withdraw,
which derives fee + net from the principal and subtracted 12% AGAIN:

  [ATM Service] create_withdraw: principal=6882 fee=826 net=6056

This contradicted the function's own contract ("the ATM sends only the
hardware-attested gross principal; the operator side derives fee + NET").
The quote, the recorded transaction (sats=6882, fee_fraction=0.12), and
the on-screen commission (12%) all read a single fee — only the delivered
LNURL-withdraw amount was double-charged.

Fix: send the GROSS principal (fiat × rate, before commission), so the
server applies the fee exactly once. Now 7820 → server 12% → net 6882,
matching the quote/receipt. Exchange rate itself was always correct.

Verified: vue-tsc typechecks; math checks (gross=7820 fee=938 net=6882).
Hardware retest (one $5 buy → 6882) recommended before relying in prod.

The access/recovery plane (SSH/NetBird) stands and may carry recovery
procedures, but it is explicitly NOT the only or first-line recovery. Add
a layered, cheapest-first recovery model: (1) app auto-recovery of its own
relay/Lightning connectivity, (2) an on-screen Retry for an operator at the
kiosk, (3) SSH/NetBird as the last-resort remote plane for genuine app/OS
failure. A public kiosk must not need remote shell access to recover from a
transient/boot-before-network outage.

+   reconnects with backoff, and the app now re-initializes when connectivity
+   returns (a fresh renderer reload — HAL is preserved in the main process),
+   so "internet came back" self-heals without anyone touching the machine.
+2. **On-screen manual retry (operator at the machine).** The maintenance
+   ("ATM Unavailable") screen carries a **Retry** button so a person standing
+   at the kiosk can force an immediate recovery attempt without shell access.
+3. **SSH/NetBird (operator remote, last resort).** This plane — for when the
+   app *can't* self-heal or the box is genuinely broken. Unchanged by this
+   amendment beyond the reframing: it is the floor, not the front line.
+
+Rationale: the common failure (transient network / boot-before-network) must
+not require remote shell access to a public kiosk. Reserve the heavyweight
+recovery plane for genuine app/OS failure. Implemented on branch
+`feat/connection-recovery`.

Subject: [PATCH 063/118] feat(machine): connectivity auto-recovery + on-screen
 Retry
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A connectivity-type init failure (e.g. "No connected relays" when the box
boots before the network) landed on "ATM Unavailable" permanently: init is
one-shot and the nostr reconnect only helps after a first successful
connect, so a machine never self-healed when internet returned.

Recover by reloading the renderer, which re-runs init from a clean JS
context (no leaked actors/subscriptions) while the main process keeps HAL:
- main.ts: new `app:recover` IPC → reloadRenderer() (resets secretsConsumed).
- hal:init is now idempotent (reuse the existing instance) so the reload —
  and the pre-existing watchdog crash-reload — can't double-open serial ports.
- App.vue: when initError is a connectivity type (not the operator/
  self-clearing states unpaired/awaiting-fees/maintenance), watch for the
  `online` event (recover immediately) plus a 45s backoff safety net, and
  render a kiosk-sized Retry button for a person at the machine.

Preserves pairing + /var/lib state (renderer reload, not a process restart).

 nixosConfiguration
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Lift the USB-variant config (distinct fs labels, nofail /boot, no
growPartition, autoUpgrade off) out of the inline disk-image-batm3-usb
`let` into `nixosConfigurations.batm3-usb`, and build the disk-image from
that same config. Enables in-place app deploys to a running stick via
`nix copy` + `switch-to-configuration` (build the toplevel, copy the
closure, activate) — no reflash, preserving pairing + /var/lib state.

Subject: [PATCH 065/118] feat(machine): LNURL-withdraw executor for Bolt Card
 cash-out (LUD-03)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

First, hardware-independent piece of Bolt Card tap-to-pay on the cash-out
flow. When a customer taps a Bolt Card, the ATM (which already has its
cash-out BOLT11) becomes the LNURL-*withdrawing* party: GET the card's
lnurlw voucher → GET callback?k1=…&pr=<invoice> so the card's wallet pays
the invoice. Settlement is still observed via the existing invoice watcher
(a returned ok=true means "card accepted the pull", not "cash dispensed").

- electron/lnurl-withdraw.ts: executeLnurlWithdraw() + lnurlwToHttps().
  Runs in the main process (Node fetch) to avoid renderer CORS, since LNURL
  endpoints send no CORS headers. Fully injectable fetch for testing.
- electron/lnurl-withdraw.test.ts: 12 tests (scheme mapping, two-step happy
  path passing k1+pr, ERROR surfacing, non-withdraw tag, amount-over-limit
  short-circuit, callback decline, network failure).
- IPC `lnurl:withdraw` (main) + preload + electron.d.ts.

Next: pcscd + an nfc-pcsc reader driver (reads the NTAG424 NDEF lnurlw),
then wire the tap into the cashOut displayingInvoice state + "tap or scan" UI.

Subject: [PATCH 066/118] feat(deploy): enable pcscd on batm3 for the Bolt Card
 reader

The Feitian KP382 (096e:0608) is a CCID contactless reader; PC/SC must be
running for the CCID driver to bind it. The app will talk to pcscd's socket
via nfc-pcsc. Idle/harmless when no reader is attached.

Subject: [PATCH 067/118] feat(machine): NFC Bolt Card reader driver + IPC
 (main process)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Main-process driver over nfc-pcsc (PC/SC). On tap it reads the NTAG424
Type-4 NDEF file via ISO7816 APDUs (select NDEF app D2760000850101 →
select file → ReadBinary NLEN + message) and extracts the lnurlw voucher
(fresh SUN p/c per tap), forwarding it to the renderer on `nfc:card-tapped`
(+ `nfc:status`). Lazy, guarded import — a missing reader/pcscd just
reports 'unavailable', never breaking the cash-out QR path. Preload
removeAllListeners guards against a double payment-trigger on renderer reload.

- electron/nfc-service.ts: startNfcReader() + readNdefLnurlw()/extractLnurlw().
- electron/nfc-service.test.ts: 7 tests (NDEF URI extraction, Type-4 read
  sequence incl. AID select, empty-file + select-fail handling).
- main.ts start + IPC forward; preload + electron.d.ts listeners.
- add nfc-pcsc dep (native @pokusew/pcsclite; nix build handling next).

From 07978a8de12fba10f9cce2ba96e85700b5c76c35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 068/118] feat(machine): wire Bolt Card tap into cash-out
 displayingInvoice + UI
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Renderer side of tap-to-pay. The store subscribes to the main-process
reader (onNfcCardTapped/onNfcStatus); a tap during displayingInvoice pulls
payment for the shown invoice via lnurlWithdraw (amount in msats), guarded
against double-taps. Settlement still flows through the existing invoice
watcher → PAYMENT_RECEIVED → dispensingCash, so the state machine is
unchanged. Bolt Card state clears when leaving the invoice screen.

CashOutView: "Tap Card or Scan to Pay" + live reader/processing/declined
status on the invoice screen, plus a dev input to simulate a tap with a
pasted lnurlw. Exposes nfcStatus / boltCardProcessing / simulateBoltCardTap.

Subject: [PATCH 069/118] feat(deploy): build nfc-pcsc's native pcsclite addon
 for Electron (mkAtmApp)

Rebuild @pokusew/pcsclite (V8 C++ addon) against Electron headers like
better-sqlite3, and package nfc-pcsc + @pokusew/pcsclite into the runtime
node_modules. Its binding.gyp hardcodes Debian /usr/include/PCSC + /usr/lib,
so point the compiler/linker at nixpkgs pcsclite via CPATH/LIBRARY_PATH
(winscard.h lives under include/PCSC); pcsclite.lib in buildInputs lets
autoPatchelf wire libpcsclite.so.1 into the .node RPATH. Bumps the pnpmDeps
hash for the added nfc-pcsc dependency.

 NFC diagnostics
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

pcscd gates clients via polkit; the sandboxed bitspire user was "Rejected
unauthorized PC/SC client", so add a polkit rule granting it
access_pcsc/access_card. Also log NFC reader status + taps from the main
process to journald (value redacted — it carries the card's SUN p/c) so
reader detection and taps are observable during testing.

Subject: [PATCH 071/118] fix(machine): read NTAG424 NDEF via Capability
 Container (Bolt Card FileID)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

First real-card tap read the NDEF file with id 0004 and got "not a Bolt
Card" — NTAG424 (Bolt Cards) use FileID E104. Read the Capability Container
(EF E103) after selecting the NDEF app to learn the advertised NDEF FileID,
then read that file; fall back to E104/0004. Tolerates a transient transmit
error (surfaced as a retryable status; the next tap re-reads).

Subject: [PATCH 072/118] perf(machine): fewer NFC APDUs (E104-first) +
 single-attempt read
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Retrying a read hammered the cheap CCID reader into a stuck present↔empty
loop (only cleared by a reboot), so drop the retry: a read is a single
attempt and the user re-taps if the RF link drops mid-read. Also skip the
Capability-Container round-trip in the common case — NTAG424 Bolt Cards use
NDEF FileID E104, so try E104/0004 directly and only read the CC to discover
the id if both fail. Fewer APDUs → a read completes inside a shorter stable
window.

Subject: [PATCH 073/118] fix(machine): cooldown after failed NFC read to
 prevent reader wedge
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hammering a flaky CCID reader with rapid re-reads wedges it into a
present↔empty storm (only a USB replug clears it). After a failed read,
ignore card re-detections for 1.5s; successful reads don't cool down.

Subject: [PATCH 074/118] feat(machine): Bolt Card (NFC) tap-to-receive on
 cash-in
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tap-to-receive for the buy flow, the receive counterpart to #83's
cash-out tap-to-pay. A Bolt Card only emits an lnurlw withdraw voucher
(wrong direction to deposit into it), so the tap is used as an
authenticated identity (external_id + SUN p/c) to resolve the card
wallet's lnurlp/Lightning Address; the ATM then pays an invoice for the
payout over its existing nostr transport.

- electron/lnurl-pay.ts: resolveCardInvoice() — resolve card -> pay
  target -> LUD-16/LUD-06 -> BOLT11. scanUrlToResolver() is the single
  HTTPS-today / nostr-tomorrow transport seam. 13 tests.
- IPC lnurl:pay-card (main-process HTTPS to dodge renderer CORS) +
  preload/electron.d.ts surface.
- stores/atm.ts: handleBoltCardReceive() settles via the existing
  payInvoice -> PAYMENT_RECEIVED path; the one NFC listener now routes
  the same tap by flow (cash-out pulls, cash-in receives).
- CashInView.vue: NFC status + dev tap input.
- docs/boltcard-receive-resolver.md: spec for the custom LNbits
  /boltcards/api/v1/pay/<id> resolver endpoint (omni-private side).

Card issuance is unchanged — same NDEF/keys/external_id; receive is a
server-side reading of the same tap.

+ *      wallet's Lightning Address / lnurlp (or a LUD-06 payRequest directly).
+ *   2. toPayRequest → LUD-16 (Lightning Address) or LUD-06 fetch → payRequest.
+ *   3. requestInvoice — GET `callback?amount=<msat>` → a BOLT11 for the amount.

+# Bolt Card tap-to-receive — LNbits resolver endpoint
+
+Spec for the small **custom endpoint** the ATM needs on the LNbits `boltcards`
+extension to support **tap-to-receive** (the cash-in / buy flow). The ATM side
+(`apps/machine/electron/lnurl-pay.ts`) is already built against this contract;
+this document is what to implement in the `omni-private` LNbits fork.
+
+## Why a new endpoint
+
+A Bolt Card only ever emits its `lnurlw://…/scan/<external_id>?p=&c=` voucher —
+a **withdraw** (spend) credential. You cannot push sats _into_ the card with it.
+To deposit to the card's wallet, the ATM uses the same tap as an **authenticated
+identity** (the `external_id` + the SUN `p`/`c`, verified exactly as `/scan`
+does) and needs the wallet's **pay** target back. Stock `boltcards` is
+withdraw-only, so we add a `pay` sibling of `scan`.
+
+The card is **not re-written** — same NDEF, same keys, same `external_id`. Only
+the server learns a new way to answer the same tap.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+```
+GET /boltcards/api/v1/pay/{external_id}?p={p}&c={c}
+```
+
+- Same URL shape as `GET /boltcards/api/v1/scan/{external_id}?p=&c=`, with the
+  path segment `scan` → `pay`. The ATM derives it by string-substitution on the
+  tapped `lnurlw` (`scanUrlToResolver()` in `lnurl-pay.ts`).
+- **Verify `p`/`c` exactly like `/scan`**: decrypt the PICC (`p`) with the
+  card's `k1`, recompute the CMAC (`c`) with `k2`, check the read counter is
+  fresh (monotonic). Reject replays. Reuse the boltcards SUN verification path —
+  do not fork it. A valid `p`/`c` is the authorization: it proves card
+  possession and prevents a cloned UID from misdirecting a deposit.
+- No auth key/header — like `/scan`, this is a public LNURL-style endpoint
+  gated solely by the SUN.
+
+## Response
+
+Return **one** of the following JSON shapes (the ATM accepts all three). Since
+each card wallet has a Lightning Address, either of the first two is simplest.
+
+### (a) Lightning Address (recommended)
+
+```json
+{ "lightningAddress": "cardname@l484.com" }
+```
+
+The ATM resolves it via LUD-16 (`/.well-known/lnurlp/cardname`) → LUD-06 pay.
+
+### (b) LUD-06 payRequest, inline
+
+```json
+{
+  "tag": "payRequest",
+  "callback": "https://lnbits.l484.com/lnurlp/api/v1/lnurl/<id>",
+  "minSendable": 1000,
+  "maxSendable": 100000000,
+  "metadata": "[[\"text/plain\",\"bolt card top-up\"]]"
+}
+```
+
+Hand back the card wallet's existing `lnurlp` payRequest directly (no extra
+round-trip for the ATM).
+
+### (c) lnurlp pointer
+
+```json
+{ "lnurlp": "https://lnbits.l484.com/lnurlp/<id>" }
+```
+
+An `https://` (or `lnurl://`) URL the ATM will fetch to get the payRequest.
+
+### Error
+
+```json
+{ "status": "ERROR", "reason": "invalid card" }
+```
+
+Use for a failed SUN check, a disabled/unknown card, or a wallet with no pay
+target. `reason` is surfaced verbatim on the ATM screen, so keep it terse and
+non-sensitive.
+
+## Flow, end to end
+
+```
+customer inserts cash → ATM owes N sats → customer taps Bolt Card
+  → ATM reads lnurlw (external_id + fresh p/c)
+  → GET /boltcards/api/v1/pay/<external_id>?p=&c=      ← THIS ENDPOINT
+  → { lightningAddress | payRequest | lnurlp }
+  → ATM: LUD-16/LUD-06 → GET callback?amount=<N*1000 msat> → BOLT11
+  → ATM pays the BOLT11 over its own nostr transport → card wallet credited
+  → PAYMENT_RECEIVED → cash-in completes
+```
+
+Amounts are in **millisatoshis** on the LUD-06 callback (`amount=<msat>`), per
+spec. Make sure each card wallet's `minSendable`/`maxSendable` span the ATM's
+payout range or the tap will be declined with "amount is above/below the card
+wallet …".
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Double-payout:** the cash-in screen still shows the LNURL-withdraw QR as a
+  fallback (customer _pulls_). A tap _pays_ instead. The ATM gates re-entry
+  while a tap is in flight and leaves `displayingQR` on success; the withdraw
+  link is `uses:1`. A customer would have to both tap and pull near-simultaneously
+  to double-collect — acceptable for now, revisit if it bites.
+- **Future nostr transport:** `resolveCardPayTarget` (the `/pay` GET) is the one
+  HTTPS-today / nostr-tomorrow seam. A nostr-native boltcard would answer the
+  same `external_id + SUN` identity over the ATM's existing nostr connection,
+  dropping the clearnet HTTPS call. The rest (standard LNURL-pay) is unchanged.

 timing race
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

egalax-calibrate polls 30s for the eGalax X device then gives up; on a
slow USB boot usbtouchscreen binds the panel later than that, so the
calibration matrix is never applied and touch registers in the wrong
place ("dead" panel). Seen on cold boots (2/2 today), fine on others —
a nondeterministic race, not a regression.

- Add a udev rule that (re)starts egalax-calibrate the instant the eGalax
  input node appears (SYSTEMD_WANTS) — device-driven, can't lose the race.
- Widen the calibrate poll window 30s -> 120s as a fallback.

Recovery when it does strand: `systemctl restart egalax-calibrate`, or
apply the matrix live via xinput set-prop.

Subject: [PATCH 076/118] fix(nfc): auto-recover a wedged CCID reader via USB
 power-cycle
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Feitian R502-CL (and cheap CCID readers generally) can wedge: it keeps
detecting a card but every APDU returns "card absent or mute", and ONLY a
USB power-cycle clears it — restarting pcscd or the app does not (confirmed
on-device). Until now that left cash-out/cash-in taps dead until a manual
replug.

- nfc-service.ts: count consecutive read failures; after 3 (gated by a 30s
  cooldown so a still-wedged reader can't reset-loop) trigger
  nfc-reader-reset.service. nfc-pcsc then re-detects the reader on USB
  hotplug with no app restart (verified live).
- batm3.nix: nfc-reader-reset.service (oneshot, root) re-binds the reader's
  USB device (a software replug); reader-agnostic via the CCID interface
  class (0x0B) so it also covers a future ACR1252U. A polkit rule lets the
  unprivileged `bitspire` app start just that one unit.

Hardware track (separate): the durable fix is a better reader (ACR1252U —
large antenna for behind-panel, firmware-upgradable). This change makes any
reader's wedge a ~2s self-heal in the meantime.

Subject: [PATCH 077/118] build(machine): add a web-only build:web target
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The machine app's `build` script runs vue-tsc, the Vite build, two electron
tsc passes and an esbuild bundle. Serving the kiosk as a plain SPA needs only
the middle one, and the electron passes drag in native-addon typings that a
web build has no use for.

Add `build:web` (just `vite build`) with a turbo task that still builds the
workspace packages first via `dependsOn: ["^build"]`, so a consumer can run
`pnpm build:web` at the repo root and get `apps/machine/dist`.

`env: ["VITE_*"]` is declared on the task because the Vite vars are baked into
the bundle at build time — without it turbo would happily serve a cached
build produced under different env.

Subject: [PATCH 078/118] feat(lnbits): wrap the create_wallet RPC
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The transport has exposed `create_wallet` (AUTH_ACCOUNT) since the RPC
registry was written, but LnbitsClient never wrapped it — the ATM only ever
needed the auto-created default wallet from `list_wallets`.

Add `createWallet(name)` plus its `CreatedWallet` reply type. Account-scoped,
so the envelope deliberately carries no `wallet_id`: that absence is what
makes the server resolve auth to the Account rather than a Wallet. Not
wrapped in `idempotent()` — a retry would mint a duplicate wallet, same
reasoning as create_invoice.

The reply carries the new wallet's adminkey/inkey, hence the type-level note
not to log it verbatim.

Subject: [PATCH 079/118] feat(machine): VITE_DEMO_TAG for the public web demo
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The browser path (no electronAPI) is already a first-class code path:
initializeWithLightning() resolves an EPHEMERAL LocalSigner, allows mock
fallback and leaves debugMode on, so the bill simulator stands in for the
validator. That is what makes a hosted kiosk demo possible at all. Two
things still needed fixing for it.

1. Cursor. `cursor: none` was applied globally for the touchscreen, which in
   an ordinary browser reads as a broken page. Scope it to `.kiosk`, set on
   <html> by main.ts unless VITE_DEMO_TAG is present — so every real machine
   keeps today's behavior and only the demo build shows a pointer.

2. Cleanup. An ephemeral identity per page load is the right call (it isolates
   concurrent visitors, and each fresh account gets its own auto-credit under
   LNBITS_DEMO_MODE, whereas a single baked-in key would be credited once and
   then drain). The cost is a throwaway LNbits account per visit, and nothing
   in an auto-created row distinguishes one: pubkey-set/prvkey-NULL equally
   describes a real ATM.

   A nostr pubkey can't carry a marker — grinding a vanity prefix is far too
   slow to do on page load — and the account/wallet the server auto-creates
   isn't nameable by the client. So when VITE_DEMO_TAG is set the ATM mints
   one extra, never-used wallet whose NAME is the tag, turning the sweep into
   an exact string match instead of a heuristic about what looks disposable.

Both are inert on a real machine: the var is unset outside the demo build.
The marker call is fire-and-forget — losing it degrades cleanup, not the demo.

Subject: [PATCH 080/118] chore: scrub "Lamassu" from shipped labels
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The kiosk's <title> still read "Lamassu ATM" — visible as the browser tab
on the public demo, and inherited by the Electron window. The product has
been bitSpire since the rename; Lamassu belongs in the provenance credits
(README, the c0b69d1 boundary note), not on the artifact.

Rename the user-facing labels that ship: the page title, the flake
description (surfaces in `nix flake metadata`), the ISO build banner, the
header comments on the live-USB config / udev rules / app derivation that
land on the machine image, and the workspace packages' descriptions.

Deliberately NOT touched, because they are identifiers rather than labels
and renaming them has deployed-machine consequences:
- VITE_LAMASSU_MACHINE_MODEL / VITE_LAMASSU_FIAT_CODE (provisioned .env)
- LamassuEventKind (exported enum)
- localStorage keys lamassu-theme / lamassu-color-mode (would reset
  every machine's stored theme)
- docker container names + devenv scripts (dev-only)
- the packages/hal Cargo crate name
Hardware names in HAL driver comments ("Lamassu Sintra", "Douro", "Tejo")
stay: those are the physical machines' real names — that IS the credit.

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

index.html still linked Vite's scaffold favicon at /vite.svg, which does
not exist in public/ — so every browser tab (the public demo included)
showed a broken icon next to the title. Use the bitSpire logo that is
already shipped for the idle screen.

Squashed skeleton (was 11 commits on feat/access-control-skeleton) for a
clean rebase onto dev. Adds a `locked` gate the terminal boots into until a
credential is presented; opt-in and non-breaking (defaults off → boots
straight to idle as before).

- state-machine: `locked` state + ACCESS_GRANTED/ACCESS_DENIED/DEV_UNLOCK
  events + accessBypass/devUnlockAllowed guards (packages/state-machine).
- services/access: reader abstraction, npub+PIN authorize() (nostr-tools
  nip19; accepts nostr:/nprofile), camera npub-QR reader, mock reader.
- LockedView.vue + ColorModeToggle: branded viewfinder, PIN pad, denied
  reason, dev-unlock; camera off-by-default + idle return.
- store/main/electron.d.ts: seed gate config, grant/deny/devUnlock wiring,
  access.json provisioning (no rebuild), get-config surface.
- deploy: access.example.json + provision-access.sh; ADR-003.

Credential union is npub today; UID (NFC tap) is the next step.

+# ADR-003: NFC Access-Control Layer (badge-to-enter) + Developer Bypass
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-07-29
+**Context:** batm3 gaining a physical access layer — an NFC card must be presented to unlock the machine before anyone can transact. Reader hardware is not yet on hand; this ADR defines the direction and a non-breaking skeleton that is fully testable without it.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **Add a top-level `locked` state to the ATM state machine, and make it the initial state.** It sits *below* the existing initialization gates (`unpaired` / `awaiting-fees` / `maintenance` / `signer-unreachable`, which live in `App.vue`). A healthy, paired machine boots into `locked` and only reveals `idle` (Buy/Sell) after an access grant.
+
+2. **Access control is opt-in via runtime config (`accessControl.enabled`, default `false`).** When disabled, the machine behaves exactly as today (boots straight to `idle`). This makes the whole feature non-breaking for the current test unit and for production ATMs, and lets a half-built access layer never brick a working box. This is the single most important constraint on the design.
+
+3. **The reader lives behind an `AccessReader` abstraction that mirrors the existing `PairingSource` seam.** First implementation is a `MockAccessReader` (dev button / hotkey), so the locked→idle→transaction path is exercisable today with zero hardware. Web NFC and serial-NFC implementations follow.
+
+4. **Credential model is a discriminated union with an explicit upgrade path.** v1 = card UID matched against a hashed allow-list. v2 = challenge-response (card-held key signs a machine nonce), verified against an operator-authorized set. Ship v1; design the types so v2 is additive.
+
+5. **Three-tier developer bypass**, following existing conventions: a build flag (`VITE_SKIP_ACCESS_GATE`), the config disable (`accessControl.enabled=false`), and a runtime operator/dev unlock gesture that dispatches a synthetic grant.
+
+6. **Authorization is owned by the machine operator, not the SaaS operator** — consistent with [ADR-002](./002-remote-access-and-fleet-management.md). The card allow-list is authorized by the operator key (the [#42](https://git.atitlan.io/aiolabs/bitspire/issues/42) allow-list mechanism), local first, operator-synced later. When access control is *enabled* and the reader is absent/broken, the machine **fails closed** (with the operator/dev unlock as the escape hatch); when *disabled*, reader state is irrelevant.
+
+7. **Every grant/deny is audited** to `state.db` (hashed credential + timestamp + role + outcome), with optional later publication as a Nostr event. No PII, consistent with the KYC-free principle.
+
+## Context
+
+### What this is (and what it is not)
+
+This is the **end-user physical access plane**: a person must badge in to use the machine. It is distinct from the three planes in [ADR-002](./002-remote-access-and-fleet-management.md) — it is *not* the operator's SSH/NetBird recovery plane, and *not* the SaaS payment plane. It shares one idea with ADR-002: **the machine operator owns who is authorized**, expressed through the operator key / #42 allow-list.
+
+### Why the codebase is well-shaped for this
+
+Three seams already exist; we extend them rather than invent:
+
+- **The idle→transaction transition is unguarded.** `packages/state-machine/src/machine.ts` starts at `initial: 'idle'` (~L431) and `idle` moves to `cashIn`/`cashOut` via plain `SELECT_CASH_IN` / `SELECT_CASH_OUT` transitions with no guards (~L457-464). Inserting a `locked` predecessor state is a localized change.
+- **`PairingSource` is a reader abstraction designed to grow.** Its doc (`apps/machine/src/services/pairing/types.ts`) explicitly anticipates *"an NFC reader or a HAL barcode scanner… a HAL-scanner source can be added the same way without touching the wizard."* `AccessReader` mirrors it: `qr-source.ts` / `nfc-source.ts` → `mock-reader.ts` / `web-nfc-reader.ts` / `serial-reader.ts`.
+- **Dev-flag and config conventions are established.** `import.meta.env.VITE_* === 'true'` (e.g. `VITE_MAINTENANCE_MODE`, `VITE_FORCE_MOCK`), plus Electron `get-config` fields that the renderer reads (`electron/main.ts` L280–312: `maintenanceMode`, `branding`). A new `accessControl` config field and a `VITE_SKIP_ACCESS_GATE` flag follow the same shape.
+
+### Hardware reality check (important)
+
+The batm3 already exposes an NFC device, but it is **serial**: `deploy/nixos/hardware/batm3.nix` L154 maps udev serial `A9ZF8ELY` → `/dev/ttyNFC`. The *existing* `pairing/nfc-source.ts` uses **Web NFC** (`NDEFReader`), which drives a phone/laptop NFC radio, **not** a serial reader. So the real batm3 access reader needs a **main-process serial driver** (HAL-style, per [ADR-001](./001-hal-architecture.md)) exposing card events to the renderer over IPC — the Web NFC path is only useful for laptop/phone dev. This ADR keeps that driver as a clearly-scoped later PR so the skeleton doesn't pretend the scaffold "just works" on the panel.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Boot / render layering
+
+```
+Electron get-config ─┐
+                     ▼
+App.vue init gates (unchanged):
+  unpaired? → PairingWizard
+  initError (maintenance / awaiting-fees / signer-unreachable)? → maintenance screen
+  else ▼
+State machine (paired + healthy):
+  ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+  │  locked  ──ACCESS_GRANTED──▶  idle             │  ← NEW initial state
+  │    ▲                          │  SELECT_CASH_* │
+  │    │ re-lock (session end /    ▼               │
+  │    │ inactivity / complete)   cashIn / cashOut │
+  │    └──────────────────────────┘               │
+  └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+        (when accessControl.enabled === false,
+         `locked` immediately `always`-bypasses to `idle`)
+```
+
+The access gate is strictly below App.vue's init gates: a machine that is unpaired or in maintenance never reaches `locked`.
+
+### 1. State machine (`packages/state-machine`)
+
+- New top-level state `locked`, `initial: 'locked'`.
+- New events on the machine's event union: `ACCESS_GRANTED` (carries an authorized `CardCredential` + resolved role), `ACCESS_DENIED` (carries a reason), `DEV_UNLOCK`.
+- `locked` transitions:
+  - `always: [{ guard: 'accessBypass', target: 'idle' }]` — instant pass-through when disabled/bypassed (no UI flicker; the view is gated on the same predicate).
+  - `on: { ACCESS_GRANTED: { target: 'idle', actions: ['startSession', 'recordAccessGrant'] }, ACCESS_DENIED: { actions: 'recordAccessDeny' }, DEV_UNLOCK: { guard: 'devUnlockAllowed', target: 'idle', actions: 'startDevSession' } }`.
+- Re-lock: the existing `complete` auto-return (currently 60s → `idle`) and the inactivity timeouts (`INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT`/`TIMEOUT_MS`, ~L422-429) target `locked` instead of `idle`. Because `locked` `always`-bypasses when disabled, this is one code path for both modes.
+- Purity: the state-machine package must not read Vite env. `accessControl.enabled` and the bypass boolean are passed in as **actor input → context** (`context.accessControlEnabled`, `context.accessBypass`); guard `accessBypass` reads context only. New context fields: `accessControlEnabled`, `accessBypass`, `session` (`{ role, grantedAt, credentialIdHash } | null`).
+- Guards: `accessBypass`, `devUnlockAllowed`. Actions: `startSession`, `startDevSession`, `recordAccessGrant`, `recordAccessDeny`, and `resetContext` extended to clear `session`.
+
+### 2. Config plumbing
+
+- `apps/machine/src/types/electron.d.ts` — extend `RuntimeConfig` (L5) with:
+  ```ts
+  accessControl: {
+    enabled: boolean            // default false
+    devUnlock: boolean          // allow the runtime operator/dev unlock gesture
+    // v2: allowListSource, challengeRequired, …
+  }
+  ```
+- `apps/machine/electron/main.ts` — the `get-config` handler (L280) returns `accessControl`, sourced from env for now (`ACCESS_CONTROL_ENABLED === 'true'`, `VITE_SKIP_ACCESS_GATE` → forces `enabled:false`), later from a provisioned file under `/var/lib/bitspire/` alongside branding.
+- `apps/machine/.env.example` — document `VITE_SKIP_ACCESS_GATE=true` (browser/dev straight to idle) and `ACCESS_CONTROL_ENABLED`.
+
+### 3. Reader abstraction (`apps/machine/src/services/access/`)
+
+Mirrors `services/pairing/`:
+
+```
+services/access/
+  types.ts          # AccessReader, CardCredential (union), AccessRole, StopCapture
+  mock-reader.ts    # PR1 — fires a card event on demand (dev button / hotkey)
+  web-nfc-reader.ts # PR3 — NDEFReader, dev on laptop/phone
+  serial-reader.ts  # PR4 — /dev/ttyNFC via main-process HAL + IPC
+  authorize.ts      # allow-list check + role resolution (hashed UID v1)
+  index.ts          # availableAccessReaders(): AccessReader[]
+  __tests__/
+```
+
+```ts
+export type AccessRole = 'user' | 'operator'
+
+export type CardCredential =
+  | { kind: 'uid'; uidHash: string }                                  // v1
+  | { kind: 'challenge'; pubkey: string; nonce: string; sig: string } // v2 (seam)
+
+export interface AccessReader {
+  readonly kind: 'mock' | 'nfc-web' | 'nfc-serial'
+  readonly label: string
+  isAvailable(): Promise<boolean>
+  start(opts: {
+    onCard: (cred: CardCredential) => void
+    onError?: (e: unknown) => void
+  }): Promise<StopCapture>
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Renderer wiring
+
+- `apps/machine/src/views/LockedView.vue` (new) — the badge-in screen. Shows brand/logo + "Present your card", a live reader status, and (when `accessControl.devUnlock`) a discreet operator/dev unlock affordance (hidden long-press corner, or a button on the existing debug bar).
+- `apps/machine/src/App.vue` — add a `locked` render branch mirroring the `PairingWizard` branch (L179) and the `initError` branch (L183): `<LockedView v-else-if="atmStore.isLocked" />`, then the existing `<router-view>` only when unlocked. Keeps rendering state-driven and matches the current shape.
+- `apps/machine/src/stores/atm.ts` —
+  - `createActor(machine, { input: { accessControlEnabled, accessBypass } })` at the existing `createActor(machine)` site (L452), seeded from `RuntimeConfig`.
+  - `isLocked` computed off the snapshot (peer of `isIdle`, ~L422).
+  - `grantAccess(cred, role)` / `denyAccess(reason)` / `devUnlock()` that `send({ type: 'ACCESS_GRANTED' | 'ACCESS_DENIED' | 'DEV_UNLOCK', … })` (peers of `selectCashIn` at L1382, using the existing `send` at L1378).
+  - On init, when `accessControl.enabled`, subscribe to `availableAccessReaders()[0]`; on `onCard`, run `authorize()` → `grantAccess`/`denyAccess`. When disabled, do nothing (machine `always`-bypasses).
+
+### 5. Audit
+
+- Add `recordAccessEvent({ credentialIdHash, role, outcome, at })` alongside the existing state.db handlers (`state:record-transaction` etc. in `electron/main.ts`, exposed via `preload.ts`). v1 writes locally; a later PR can mirror to a replaceable Nostr event.
+
+### Session semantics (decided)
+
+**One badge = one transaction-scoped session.** A grant unlocks `idle`, the user runs a single transaction (Buy or Sell), and the machine re-locks on `complete`, on inactivity, or on an explicit "Done". The `session` context field is deliberately shaped as a general access session (`{ role, grantedAt, credentialIdHash }`), not a transaction handle, because this terminal may later handle **non-transaction functions** — so "unlock the terminal" and "authorize a transaction" stay separate concepts.
+
+**Step-up authorization (future seam, not in PR1).** The badge tap grants *terminal access*; a specific sensitive action can independently *request re-authorization* — e.g. "tap your phone" or "enter a PIN" — without conflating the two. This is why the credential model is a union and the machine carries a `session` rather than a boolean "unlocked": a later `REQUIRE_STEPUP` event can gate an individual action against a fresh credential/PIN while the terminal session stays open. PR1 ships only the entry gate; step-up is a documented extension.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Gate between `idle` and the transaction** (idle visible, tap requires a card). Rejected: the requirement is "gain access to the exchange" — the whole machine should be locked, not just the transact button. A `locked` predecessor matches the mental model and gives a clean re-lock boundary.
+- **Web NFC only** (reuse `nfc-source.ts` as-is). Rejected: the batm3 reader is serial (`ttyNFC`); Web NFC can't drive it. Web NFC stays a dev-only convenience.
+- **Fail-open by default** (no card → allow). Rejected for an access-control feature; but note the *disabled* default sidesteps this — access is simply off until an operator turns it on, at which point it fails **closed**.
+- **OS/kiosk-level lock** (lock the desktop, not the app). Rejected: too coarse, no per-transaction audit, no role model, and it fights the existing state-driven UI.
+- **UID allow-list as the permanent model.** Rejected as an endpoint (UIDs clone trivially) but accepted as v1 behind a union type, so challenge-response is additive.
+
+## Security considerations
+
+- **UID cloning** — card UIDs are not secret and are cloneable; v1 is "better than nothing" and is explicitly labeled upgradeable. The v2 challenge-response path (card signs a machine nonce) is the real security boundary; design the credential union and the `authorize()` seam for it now.
+- **Data at rest** — store only a salted hash of the credential id; never raw UIDs or any PII (KYC-free). Never log a card secret or nsec (repo security priority #1).
+- **Fail-closed when enabled** — reader absent/broken + `enabled` ⇒ locked, escape hatch = operator/dev unlock. Reader problems on a *disabled* machine are inert.
+- **Operator ownership** — authorization derives from the operator key / #42 allow-list, not the SaaS operator (ADR-002 boundary). Local allow-list first; operator-published (NIP-51-style) sync later.
+- **Dev bypass blast radius** — `VITE_SKIP_ACCESS_GATE` is build-time and never set in a production image; `devUnlock` is gated by `accessControl.devUnlock` (off in a locked-down deployment) and every dev unlock is audited with role `operator`/`dev`.
+
+## Resolved decisions (2026-07-29)
+
+1. **Session model** — ✅ one badge = one **transaction-scoped session**, with the `session` context modeled generally (terminal access, not a transaction handle) to allow non-transaction functions and per-action **step-up auth** (tap phone / PIN) later. See *Session semantics* above.
+2. **v1 credential** — ✅ **UID allow-list first** (hashed), behind a `CardCredential` union so challenge-response is additive (PR5).
+3. **Allow-list home** — ✅ **local first** (`state.db` / provisioned `access.json`, peer of `branding/`); operator-Nostr sync is a later PR.
+
+Still open (cosmetic, decide during PR2):
+
+4. **Dev unlock affordance** — hidden long-press corner vs a labeled button on the existing debug bar.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation plan (phased PRs)
+
+Each PR is independently mergeable. **PR1 changes nothing observable while `accessControl.enabled=false` (the default).**
+
+### PR1 — Non-breaking skeleton (state + config + mock reader + dev bypass + audit stub)
+**Goal:** the locked→idle→transaction path is exercisable on the batm3 today, and the flag-off machine is byte-for-byte behavior-identical.
+- `packages/state-machine`: add `locked` state (`initial`), `ACCESS_GRANTED`/`ACCESS_DENIED`/`DEV_UNLOCK` events, `accessBypass`/`devUnlockAllowed` guards, `startSession`/`recordAccess*` actions, context fields + actor `input`. Re-point `complete`/inactivity re-lock targets to `locked`.
+- `apps/machine/src/types/electron.d.ts`: `RuntimeConfig.accessControl`.
+- `apps/machine/electron/main.ts`: `get-config` returns `accessControl` (env-sourced); `.env.example` documents `VITE_SKIP_ACCESS_GATE` + `ACCESS_CONTROL_ENABLED`.
+- `apps/machine/src/services/access/`: `types.ts`, `mock-reader.ts`, `authorize.ts` (UID allow-list, hashed), `index.ts`.
+- `apps/machine/src/stores/atm.ts`: actor `input`, `isLocked`, `grantAccess`/`denyAccess`/`devUnlock`, reader subscription (only when enabled).
+- `apps/machine/src/views/LockedView.vue` + `App.vue` `locked` render branch.
+- Audit stub: `recordAccessEvent` handler + preload exposure (local write only).
+- **Tests:** state-machine `locked → idle` on grant; `always`-bypass when disabled; re-lock from `complete`; `authorize()` allow/deny; `devUnlock` gated by config. 
+- **Flag state on merge:** `enabled=false`. CI green = no behavior change.
+
+### PR2 — Locked UX polish
+- Reader status/animation, brand-aware LockedView, denied-flash + reason, inactivity copy, operator/dev unlock affordance per open-question #4. Pure renderer.
+
+### PR3 — Web NFC reader (dev)
+- `web-nfc-reader.ts` (`NDEFReader`), registered in `availableAccessReaders()` behind availability check. Lets a laptop/phone drive the gate for demos/dev. No hardware dependency.
+
+### PR4 — Serial NFC HAL driver (real batm3 hardware)
+- Main-process serial driver for `/dev/ttyNFC` (HAL-style per ADR-001), IPC channel `access:watch-card` + `preload.ts` exposure; `serial-reader.ts` renderer client. Requires the physical reader to validate. Document the reader's protocol/baud in `docs/device-configuration.md`.
+
+### PR5 — Challenge-response credential + operator allow-list sync
+- Extend `CardCredential` with the `challenge` variant; `authorize.ts` verifies a signature over a machine nonce against the operator-authorized set; allow-list synced from an operator-published event (#42 mechanism). This is the real security upgrade; v1 UID path stays as a fallback/dev mode.
+
+### Cross-cutting
+- **Docs:** update `docs/machine-installation.md` (enabling access control, enrolling cards) and `deploy/nixos/README.md` (the `accessControl` config + `/dev/ttyNFC`) as PR4/PR5 land.
+- **Provisioning:** a later change can add an `access.json` under `/var/lib/bitspire/` (peer of `branding/`) with the allow-list + `enabled`, plus a `provision-access.sh` mirroring `provision-branding.sh`.

Subject: [PATCH 083/118] =?UTF-8?q?feat(access):=20Bolt=20Card=20tap-to-en?=
 =?UTF-8?q?ter=20=E2=80=94=20load=20card=20into=20session,=20one-press=20C?=
 =?UTF-8?q?omplete?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Builds on the access gate: a single Bolt Card tap at the locked screen both
unlocks the terminal AND pre-loads the card, so buy/sell just need "Complete"
— no second tap. Reuses the #83/#84 payment paths verbatim.

Soft entry, verify-at-payment: the tap is parsed LOCALLY (external_id only) so
the single-use SUN p/c stay valid; the cryptographic check happens at Complete
when the stored lnurlw actually moves sats (withdraw for sell, lnurlp-pay for
buy). Open-enrollment, card-only (no npub-QR, no PIN) per product decision.

- services/access: `boltcard` credential (externalId + lnurlw) in the AccessScan
  union; canonicalId + open-enrollment/allow-list authorize; parseBoltcardLnurlw
  (local, no server). Only external_id is hashed — p/c never enter authorize.
- store: loadedBoltCard (session-scoped, cleared on re-lock); handleBoltCardEntry
  (tap while locked → authorize → grant + load); completeWithCard (routes to the
  existing tap handlers); NFC listener routes locked→enter.
- LockedView: card-only "Tap your Bolt Card" screen (dropped camera/npub-QR/PIN).
- CashIn/CashOutView: "Complete Purchase/Sale" button + card chip when loaded.
- tests: boltcard authorize + parseBoltcardLnurlw (17 access tests total).

Enabling the gate is a provisioning step (access.json enabled+openEnrollment);
other machines default off → unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 084/118] fix(access): reset router to home on re-lock so the
 reopened gate lands on idle
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After a transaction with the gate enabled, the machine re-locks (cashOut/
cashIn → locked, not idle), so the view's isIdle watch never fires and the
router stays on /cash-out|/cash-in. When the next tap reopens the gate to
idle, the stale transaction view showed (e.g. a completed sell's collect
screen, stuck). Reset the route to / while locked (router-view hidden under
LockedView) so idle renders IdleView.

Subject: [PATCH 085/118] feat(access): auto re-lock the idle menu after
 inactivity
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

An unlocked session left unattended (card tapped in, no transaction) stayed
at idle indefinitely, so anyone could then transact on the loaded card. Add
an IDLE_LOCK_TIMEOUT (60s) after-transition on idle → locked, guarded by
accessGateActive so a gate-disabled machine (which rests at idle) never
re-locks. Selecting cash-in/out leaves idle and cancels the timer; the store
clears the loaded Bolt Card on re-lock. Transaction flows already re-lock on
their own inactivity timeouts.

Subject: [PATCH 086/118] feat(deploy): enable pcscd on upboard (sintra/tejo)
 for NFC gate
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The access gate (ADR-003, #86) only wired services.pcscd + the pcsc
polkit rule into batm3.nix, so the tap-to-enter reader was invisible on
upboard machines. Port the same device-agnostic wiring to upboard.nix
(HID Global OMNIKEY 5022, 076b:5022) so the gate works on the sintra dev
unit — and on tejo — when #86 lands on dev and the nightly upgrade pulls
it.

Subject: [PATCH 087/118] feat(access): add End Session button to re-lock a
 tap-in session

A Bolt Card tap loads the holder's card for the whole session, so an
unattended idle menu is transactable by the next person until the 60s
IDLE_LOCK_TIMEOUT fires. Give the holder an explicit re-lock:

- END_SESSION event on `idle`, guarded to the active gate, targets
  `locked` (whose entry already clears the access session + loaded card).
  No-op on a gate-disabled machine that rests at idle.
- endSession() store action; IdleView shows a destructive-styled
  "End Session" button top-right only while accessControl.enabled.
- Tests: END_SESSION re-locks when the gate is active; no-op when off.

The top-right "End Session" button overlapped the centered balance /
commission chips, which wrap into the top-right corner on narrower
screens (sintra). Relocate it to a minimal red ✕ icon button grouped
next to the "?" help button in the top-left, clear of the chips. Same
endSession() behavior; shown only while the gate is active.

Per on-device review: order the top-left group ✕ then ?, and use the
`destructive` button variant so the exit swatch is a solid, theme-aware
red (--destructive is scoped per colorscheme) rather than a subtle
outline that didn't read as an exit.

Subject: [PATCH 090/118] fix(access): reset idle timer on activity + add hard
 session cap
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The idle re-lock was an XState `after` on `idle`, which is anchored to
state ENTRY and never reset on screen touches — so it fired a fixed 60s
countdown regardless of interaction (reported: touching the screen
didn't extend the session). The machine can't observe raw pointer
events, so inactivity can't be measured there.

Move session timeouts to the DOM layer (useSessionSecurity, mounted in
the always-on App shell), enforcing two fail-closed limits that both
re-lock via a new root-level END_SESSION transition:

- SOFT idle (60s): re-lock after no *trusted* pointer/touch/key input
  while on the idle menu; resets on every genuine interaction. Scoped to
  idle so it never interrupts an in-flight cash-in/out.
- HARD cap (10min): absolute ceiling from unlock time, never reset — a
  forgotten/relayed card can't hold a session open. Lives at the machine
  root so it can lock mid-transaction, not just from idle.

Security posture: only event.isTrusted resets the soft timer (synthetic
events can't keep a session alive); wall-clock deadline checks re-lock
immediately after a suspend/resume rather than silently extending;
one-shot disarm-on-fire prevents spin; END_SESSION is guarded to the
active gate so it's inert when the gate is off.

Machine no longer owns the idle timer; tests updated (END_SESSION
re-locks from idle and from an in-flight cash-out; no-op when disabled).

Subject: [PATCH 091/118] fix(access): only accept END_SESSION from idle so the
 session cap can't strand funds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The root-level END_SESSION let the 10-minute hard cap (and the End Session
button) jump to `locked` from any state, bypassing the money-path guards
the machine already has: confirmAbandon with bills stacked, an in-flight
dispense, an outbound cash-in payment. Cap fires at minute 10 while a
customer's bills sit in the stacker → locked → next unlock resetContext
wipes them unpaid; during dispensingCash the done-event is dropped and
no transaction record is written.

Nothing is lost by scoping it: every transaction terminal state already
targets #atm.locked on this branch, so the machine re-locks on its own
when the transaction ends. END_SESSION now lives on idle.on only, and
useSessionSecurity defers both deadlines until currentState is idle —
an expired session re-locks on the first tick back at the menu.

Subject: [PATCH 092/118] fix(access): dev unlock defaults OFF

ACCESS_DEV_UNLOCK was opt-out (anything but 'false' enabled it) and
access.example.json shipped it on, so a gated production machine would
render a visible gate-bypass button on the lock screen by default. Flip
to opt-in (=== 'true'), update the example file and the provisioning
schema comment to match.

Subject: [PATCH 093/118] fix(access): drop the loaded Bolt Card after its
 first Complete attempt

The card loaded at tap-to-enter carries one SUN p/c pair, and the
boltcards server bumps the counter on the first GET. After a declined
Complete (limit below amount, callback failure, payment error) the
stored lnurlw can never succeed again, yet it stayed loaded with a
Complete button that would keep failing. The same held on the success
path when the payment never settled (cash-out invoice timeout back to
selectingAmount).

The tap handlers now report skipped / accepted / declined, and
completeWithCard clears the card after any real attempt, appending
'tap your card to try again' to a decline. A skipped outcome (guard
bounced it, no server call) keeps the card. A fresh tap on the cash
screen goes through the normal tap-to-pay/receive path.

Subject: [PATCH 094/118] chore(access): prune unwired readers, amend ADR-003
 for what shipped
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

ADR-003, .env.example, the access module's headers and the provisioning
schema still described the planned npub-QR → UID → serial-reader path.
What shipped (#86) is Bolt Card tap-to-enter over the main-process
pcscd reader with external_id as the identity, soft entry and
verify-at-payment. Nothing ever called availableAccessReaders(): the
camera npub-QR reader, the mock reader and the AccessReader seam were
dead, so they go; services/access now holds authorize, the card parser
and the credential types. The unused 'uid' scan variant goes with them;
'npub' (+PIN) and the 'challenge' seam stay.

The ADR gets an amendment section recording the differences, including
that open enrollment is not a security boundary and that the audit is
still a stub (both tracked as issues).

- *
- * The reader emits a RAW credential; hashing/authorization (and the optional

 # ADR-003: NFC Access-Control Layer (badge-to-enter) + Developer Bypass
 
-**Status:** Accepted
+**Status:** Accepted — amended 2026-09-20 (see [Amendment](#amendment-2026-09-20-what-shipped) below; the original text follows it unchanged)
 **Date:** 2026-07-29
 **Context:** batm3 gaining a physical access layer — an NFC card must be presented to unlock the machine before anyone can transact. Reader hardware is not yet on hand; this ADR defines the direction and a non-breaking skeleton that is fully testable without it.
 
+## Amendment (2026-09-20): what shipped
+
+The gate landed in aiolabs/bitspire#86 as **Bolt Card tap-to-enter**, not the npub-QR → UID → serial-reader path planned below. The decisions still stand (opt-in `locked` state, operator-owned authorization, hashed identities, fail-closed, audited); the mechanism differs:
+
+- **Reader.** The batm3 / upboard reader is a USB CCID contactless reader (Feitian KP382, OMNIKEY 5022) driven by `pcscd` + `nfc-pcsc` in the **main process** (`electron/nfc-service.ts`, from #83), not the serial `/dev/ttyNFC` device or Web NFC. Taps reach the renderer over the existing `nfc:card-tapped` IPC and the store routes them by state (`locked` → enter; the cash screens → pay / receive). The renderer-side `AccessReader` abstraction, the camera npub-QR reader and the mock reader were never wired to anything and have been removed; `services/access/` now holds only `authorize`, the Bolt Card parser and the credential types.
+- **Credential.** Identity is the card's boltcards `external_id`, parsed **locally** from the tapped `lnurlw` (`AccessScan` kind `boltcard`), not the NFC UID. Only `hashId(external_id, salt)` is compared or logged. The `npub` variant (with its PIN second factor) stays in `authorize()` and its tests for a future non-card credential; `challenge` remains the v2 seam; the planned `uid` variant is gone.
+- **Soft entry, verify-at-payment.** A tap yields a single-use SUN `p`/`c`. Verifying it at entry would spend the voucher we want to reuse at Complete, so entry makes **no server call**. The stored `lnurlw` is presented once, at Complete, through the #83 / #84 payment paths, and that is where the cryptographic check happens. Consequence: the loaded card is single-shot — after the first Complete attempt, accepted or declined, the store drops it and the customer re-taps.
+- **Open enrollment is not a security boundary.** With `openEnrollment` on (the current posture on every gated machine), any NDEF tag whose URL contains `/scan/<id>` unlocks the terminal. The gate keeps casual users off the menu; money still only moves on a valid SUN. Closing this — a provisioned allow-list, or a verify-at-entry variant that spends one tap — is tracked in aiolabs/bitspire#91.
+- **Session semantics.** One tap = one session; every transaction terminal state returns to `locked`. Inactivity (60 s on the idle menu) and the absolute cap (10 min) are measured at the DOM layer (`useSessionSecurity`) because an XState `after` cannot observe touches. Both send `END_SESSION`, which the machine accepts **from `idle` only**, so a timer can never abandon stacked bills or an in-flight dispense. An explicit End Session button re-locks immediately.
+- **Config.** `ACCESS_CONTROL_ENABLED` / `ACCESS_OPEN_ENROLLMENT` / `ACCESS_DEV_UNLOCK` / `ACCESS_SALT` from env, overridden by `/var/lib/bitspire/access.json` (pushed with `deploy/nixos/provision-access.sh`, no rebuild). `devUnlock` defaults **off**.
+- **Audit** is still a console stub; the state.db write promised in decision 7 is tracked in aiolabs/bitspire#90.
+- **Phased plan superseded.** PR3 (Web NFC) and PR4 (serial HAL) will not happen — the pcscd reader covers real hardware and there is no laptop dev path beyond the debug paste-box on `LockedView`. PR5's challenge-response idea survives as the `challenge` seam.
+
+---
+
 ## Decision
 
 1. **Add a top-level `locked` state to the ATM state machine, and make it the initial state.** It sits *below* the existing initialization gates (`unpaired` / `awaiting-fees` / `maintenance` / `signer-unreachable`, which live in `App.vue`). A healthy, paired machine boots into `locked` and only reveals `idle` (Buy/Sell) after an access grant.

Subject: [PATCH 095/118] feat(machine): open a verified Bolt Card session at
 tap-to-enter
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Entry now spends the tap's single-use SUN once, on the card server's new
/session endpoint (aiolabs/boltcards feat/card-session-endpoint), instead
of parsing the lnurlw locally and deferring every check to Complete. The
server proves a genuine, non-replayed card and returns the wallet balance
plus the hit-keyed LUD-03 withdraw and LUD-06 pay second steps — the same
single-use bearer /scan and /pay hand out — so Complete still needs no
second tap and the ATM holds no p/c for the visit.

- electron/boltcard-session.ts: /scan → /session URL derivation, response
  parsing, 404 → 'card server does not support sessions'.
- lnurl-withdraw / lnurl-pay: the second steps are now callable on their
  own (executeWithdrawCallback, resolveInvoiceFromPayStep); the tap paths
  are unchanged and reuse them.
- IPC: lnurl:open-card-session, lnurl:withdraw-session, lnurl:pay-session.
- store: handleBoltCardEntry opens the session then authorizes the
  server-returned external_id; the payment handlers take a source (raw
  tap or session); a withheld withdraw step declines with the server's
  reason. The boltcard AccessScan no longer carries the lnurlw.

Subject: [PATCH 096/118] feat(machine): show the card holder's balance, hidden
 by default
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A tap-to-enter session is effectively the holder logging into their card
wallet, so show its balance — but a kiosk in a public place must not
display a stranger's balance unasked. CardChip renders the card label
with the balance masked (••••••) and an eye toggle; revealed, it mirrors
the LNbits wallet page: sats, then the fiat equivalent formatted with
Intl currency style. Fiat comes from the card server (the wallet's own
currency, else the instance default, at its rate) and falls back to the
ATM's fiat at its display rate when the server priced nothing. Shown on
the idle menu and both cash screens; reveal state resets on re-lock.

Subject: [PATCH 097/118] docs: Bolt Card session contract, ADR-003 amendment
 for verified entry

docs/boltcard-session.md is the /session wire contract (sibling of
boltcard-receive-resolver.md), including the trust boundary: the session
URL is derived from the card's own host, so open enrollment is still not
a security boundary (#91). ADR-003's amendment now records verified entry
via /session and the hidden-by-default balance display.

 - **Reader.** The batm3 / upboard reader is a USB CCID contactless reader (Feitian KP382, OMNIKEY 5022) driven by `pcscd` + `nfc-pcsc` in the **main process** (`electron/nfc-service.ts`, from #83), not the serial `/dev/ttyNFC` device or Web NFC. Taps reach the renderer over the existing `nfc:card-tapped` IPC and the store routes them by state (`locked` → enter; the cash screens → pay / receive). The renderer-side `AccessReader` abstraction, the camera npub-QR reader and the mock reader were never wired to anything and have been removed; `services/access/` now holds only `authorize`, the Bolt Card parser and the credential types.
 - **Credential.** Identity is the card's boltcards `external_id`, parsed **locally** from the tapped `lnurlw` (`AccessScan` kind `boltcard`), not the NFC UID. Only `hashId(external_id, salt)` is compared or logged. The `npub` variant (with its PIN second factor) stays in `authorize()` and its tests for a future non-card credential; `challenge` remains the v2 seam; the planned `uid` variant is gone.
-- **Soft entry, verify-at-payment.** A tap yields a single-use SUN `p`/`c`. Verifying it at entry would spend the voucher we want to reuse at Complete, so entry makes **no server call**. The stored `lnurlw` is presented once, at Complete, through the #83 / #84 payment paths, and that is where the cryptographic check happens. Consequence: the loaded card is single-shot — after the first Complete attempt, accepted or declined, the store drops it and the customer re-taps.
-- **Open enrollment is not a security boundary.** With `openEnrollment` on (the current posture on every gated machine), any NDEF tag whose URL contains `/scan/<id>` unlocks the terminal. The gate keeps casual users off the menu; money still only moves on a valid SUN. Closing this — a provisioned allow-list, or a verify-at-entry variant that spends one tap — is tracked in aiolabs/bitspire#91.
+- **Verified entry via `/session`** (superseding #86's soft entry). A tap yields a single-use SUN `p`/`c`, and verifying it at entry would have spent the voucher Complete needed, so #86 made no server call at entry. The fork now exposes `/session/<id>?p=&c=` (`docs/boltcard-session.md`): it spends the SUN **once**, proves a genuine non-replayed card, returns the card wallet's balance + fiat, and hands back the hit-keyed LUD-03 / LUD-06 second steps so Complete still needs no second tap. The session is single-shot — after the first Complete attempt, accepted or declined, the store drops it and the customer re-taps. The balance is shown on the idle menu and cash screens **hidden by default** behind an eye toggle (`CardChip.vue`), priced the way the LNbits wallet page prices it (wallet currency, else instance default, else the ATM's fiat at its own rate).
+- **Open enrollment is still not a security boundary.** `/session` proves the card is genuine *to the server the card names*: the session URL is derived from the tapped `lnurlw`'s host, so with `openEnrollment` on a forged NDEF tag pointing at a server that answers `authenticated: true` still unlocks the terminal. Money is unaffected (cash-out never dispenses without `PAYMENT_RECEIVED`; cash-in pays where the holder pointed). Closing the gate means pinning the accepted card-server host(s) and/or a provisioned allow-list — tracked in aiolabs/bitspire#91.
 - **Session semantics.** One tap = one session; every transaction terminal state returns to `locked`. Inactivity (60 s on the idle menu) and the absolute cap (10 min) are measured at the DOM layer (`useSessionSecurity`) because an XState `after` cannot observe touches. Both send `END_SESSION`, which the machine accepts **from `idle` only**, so a timer can never abandon stacked bills or an in-flight dispense. An explicit End Session button re-locks immediately.
 - **Config.** `ACCESS_CONTROL_ENABLED` / `ACCESS_OPEN_ENROLLMENT` / `ACCESS_DEV_UNLOCK` / `ACCESS_SALT` from env, overridden by `/var/lib/bitspire/access.json` (pushed with `deploy/nixos/provision-access.sh`, no rebuild). `devUnlock` defaults **off**.
 - **Audit** is still a console stub; the state.db write promised in decision 7 is tracked in aiolabs/bitspire#90.

+# Bolt Card session — one verified tap for a terminal visit
+
+Wire contract for the `/session` endpoint the ATM's access gate (ADR-003
+tap-to-enter) uses on the LNbits `boltcards` extension. Implemented in the
+aiolabs fork (`git.atitlan.io/aiolabs/boltcards`, `v1.1.1-aio.3`+); consumed by
+`apps/machine/electron/boltcard-session.ts`.
+
+## Why a session
+
+A Bolt Card tap yields a single-use SUN `p`/`c`: the card server verifies it
+and advances the card's read counter, so any endpoint that checks it — `/scan`,
+`/pay`, `/verify` — spends it. The gate wants two things from one tap:
+
+1. **Verify at entry** — a genuine, non-replayed card unlocks the terminal and
+   we can show the holder their balance.
+2. **Complete without a second tap** — the buy or sell later in the visit
+   moves sats with the same card.
+
+`/session` does the verification once and hands back the _second steps_ of
+both LNURL flows, keyed by a single-use server-side `hit` — the same bearer
+`/scan` (as `k1`) and `/pay` already issue. The terminal holds no `p`/`c`
+afterwards.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+```
+GET /boltcards/api/v1/session/{external_id}?p={p}&c={c}
+```
+
+Same URL shape as `/scan/{external_id}?p=&c=` with `scan` → `session`; the ATM
+derives it by string substitution on the tapped `lnurlw`
+(`scanUrlToSessionUrl()`). SUN verification is byte-for-byte `/scan`'s (shared
+helper in the fork): unknown / disabled card, UID mismatch, bad CMAC, replayed
+counter all reject with `/scan`'s reasons. On success the counter advances and
+one `hit` is recorded.
+
+## Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "authenticated": true,
+  "external_id": "abc123",
+  "card_name": "Alice",
+  "balance_msat": 123456000,
+  "currency": "USD",
+  "fiat": 98.76,
+  "withdraw": {
+    "callback": "https://lnbits.l484.com/boltcards/api/v1/lnurl/cb/<hit>",
+    "k1": "<hit>",
+    "minWithdrawable": 1000,
+    "maxWithdrawable": 50000000
+  },
+  "withdraw_blocked_reason": null,
+  "pay": {
+    "callback": "https://lnbits.l484.com/boltcards/api/v1/pay/cb/<hit>",
+    "minSendable": 1000,
+    "maxSendable": 50000000,
+    "metadata": "[[\"text/plain\",\"Bolt Card top-up\"]]"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- `balance_msat` — the card wallet's balance. Display only.
+- `currency` / `fiat` — the balance priced the way the LNbits wallet page does
+  it: the wallet's own currency (per-wallet setting) first, else the instance's
+  default accounting currency, at the server's rate. `null` when the server has
+  no currency or the rate lookup failed; the ATM then prices the sats itself in
+  its own fiat at its display rate. A rate failure never fails the session.
+- `withdraw` — the LUD-03 second step. The ATM calls
+  `callback?k1=<hit>&pr=<bolt11>` at cash-out Complete. `null` with
+  `withdraw_blocked_reason` set when `/scan` would have refused (daily limit
+  spent); cash-in stays possible.
+- `pay` — the LUD-06 second step. The ATM calls `callback?amount=<msat>` at
+  cash-in Complete and pays the returned BOLT11 over its own nostr transport.
+- Limits are the card's `tx_limit`, as on `/scan` and `/pay`.
+
+Rejection:
+
+```json
+{ "authenticated": false, "reason": "This link is already used." }
+```
+
+`reason` is surfaced verbatim on the locked screen — terse, non-sensitive.
+
+## Semantics of the hit
+
+- The first withdraw that uses the hit spends it (`spent = true`), exactly as
+  after a `/scan`; a second withdraw is refused with "Payment already claimed."
+- A top-up does not mark the hit spent (as `/pay` today).
+- The ATM treats the whole session as single-shot regardless: after the first
+  Complete attempt, accepted or declined, it drops the session and asks for a
+  re-tap (`completeWithCard` in `stores/atm.ts`).
+- Hits do not expire server-side. The ATM's session security (60 s idle,
+  10 min cap, End Session) bounds how long one is held.
+
+## Flow
+
+```
+locked ── tap ─▶ GET /session/<id>?p=&c=  (spends the SUN)
+   ├─ authenticated:false → stay locked, show reason
+   └─ authenticated:true  → authorize(external_id) → idle, session held
+                            CardChip: "Alice · ••c123  ••••••  [eye]"
+sell: pick amount → Complete Sale     → withdraw.callback?k1&pr   → PAYMENT_RECEIVED → dispense
+buy:  insert cash → Complete Purchase → pay.callback?amount → BOLT11 → ATM pays → complete
+… re-lock (End Session / idle / complete) drops the session
+```
+
+## Trust boundary (read this)
+
+The ATM derives the session URL from the **card's own `lnurlw` host**. With
+`openEnrollment` on, a forged NDEF tag pointing at an attacker's server that
+answers `{"authenticated": true, …}` still unlocks the terminal. Money is not
+at risk — a fake server can only make the ATM pay an invoice the holder chose
+(cash-in) or accept a pull it never honours (cash-out never dispenses without
+`PAYMENT_RECEIVED`) — but the _gate_ is only as trustworthy as the host it was
+told to ask. Closing that means pinning the card-server host(s) the gate
+accepts; tracked in aiolabs/bitspire#91.

 line from the centre
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The machine's balance already sits in App.vue's top-right status chip.
Repeated in the centre — right above the holder's card chip on a
tap-to-enter session — it reads as *their* balance ('Available: 0 sats'
next to a card showing 959,242 sats). Keep only the buy/sell rates there.

 Complete
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

At Complete the store handed the session's withdraw/pay step to
window.electronAPI straight out of the loadedBoltCard ref — a Vue
reactive proxy — and Electron's structured clone refused it:
'[ATM] Bolt Card withdraw failed: Error: An object could not be cloned.'
(sintra, 2026-09-21 06:51). The customer had to re-tap, which works
because the direct-tap path passes a plain string. Copy the steps field
by field into plain objects before they cross the bridge.

 path, log entry timing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tap → unlock took ~3 s on sintra. The card server's /session now fills
fiat only from its warm rate cache (aiolabs/boltcards
fix/session-fiat-from-cache); when it returns a currency with fiat null,
the store prices the balance in that currency from the ATM's own rate
source after the unlock, so the chip still shows the wallet's currency.
Log how long the session call took and whether the server priced it, so
the next latency question can be answered from the journal.

Subject: [PATCH 101/118] fix(machine): keep the mouse pointer visible on the
 web demo
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

index.html's inline <style> hid the cursor on any viewport >= 1024px:

    @media (min-width: 1024px) { html, body { overflow: hidden; cursor: none; } }

which is every desktop browser opening the public demo. Descendants inherit
it, so the pointer vanished everywhere except over buttons — those carry
Tailwind's .cursor-pointer, which overrode the inherited value and made the
bug look stranger than it was.

This is the rule the earlier .kiosk scoping missed: src/style.css got gated,
this one did not, so the two disagreed.

Delete it rather than gate it. src/style.css's `.kiosk, .kiosk *` rule already
covers <html> and every descendant with !important, and main.ts applies that
class unless VITE_DEMO_TAG is set — so real machines are unaffected and cursor
hiding now has exactly one owner, the one that knows whether this is a kiosk.
The block here cannot make that call: it is static HTML, and the page CSP
(script-src 'self') forbids an inline script that could read the env.

overflow: hidden stays as it was — untouched on both.

Verified by building both ways: without the tag the built HTML has no cursor
rule, the JS still adds .kiosk and the CSS still carries the !important
hide; with the tag the .kiosk branch is dead-code-eliminated and no
cursor: none survives anywhere.

Subject: [PATCH 102/118] fix(lightning): arm the cash-out settlement watch
 before the invoice is shown
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A one-tap Bolt Card Complete settles in about a second. Subscribing took
two sequential nostr round trips first — decode_payment to recover the
hash, then subscribe_payments — roughly eight seconds against a remote
relay, because the watch was armed when the invoice was DISPLAYED. The
settlement push is an ephemeral event with no replay, so it fired before
anything was listening: the machine sat on a paid invoice until it timed
out and the customer's sats were taken with no cash dispensed. On sintra
2026-09-22 this hit both one-tap sells (26,660 and 26,500 sats). The old
two-tap flow only ever worked because fumbling with the card covered the
window; at 07:18 the push landed two seconds after the watch went live.

Three layered defences, one mechanism:
- Arm at creation. generateInvoice does not resolve until the watch is
  live, so the invoice cannot reach the screen unwatched.
- Take the payment hash from the create_invoice response instead of
  decoding it back off the bolt11 — the value was already in hand and
  the round trip was half the window (repo guidance says as much).
- Latch and poll. A settlement that still beats the consumer is replayed
  on attach, and get_payment runs alongside the subscription so a push
  that is lost or never sent cannot strand a payment either.

Subject: [PATCH 103/118] fix(machine): surface a payment taken with no cash
 dispensed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When a card accepted a cash-out pull and settlement never confirmed, the
machine returned to the amount screen as though nothing had happened —
the customer's wallet had paid and there was nothing on screen or in the
journal to say so. Latch that transition, log it with the txid, and show
a red notice naming the reference an operator can reconcile against.

Subject: [PATCH 104/118] fix(access): instrument Complete, and say when a card
 can't sell
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pressing Complete on a session that fails leaves nothing in the journal:
the decline path has no logging, so a failed sell is indistinguishable
from a button that never fired. Add the telemetry that was missing —
completeWithCard logs outcome, duration and reason, and the entry line
now says whether selling is available at all.

Two real defects alongside it. A session whose withdraw step the card
server withheld (daily limit spent, card disabled) still rendered a
Complete Sale button that could only ever fail; it now shows the
server's reason instead. And the decline path advised 'tap your card to
try again' even for refusals a re-tap cannot lift, so 'blocked' is now
its own outcome: nothing was consumed, the session stays loaded, and no
re-tap is suggested.

Subject: [PATCH 105/118] fix(deploy): trust the Forgejo host key so
 auto-upgrade can fetch

system.autoUpgrade fetches the flake over ssh as root. A machine whose
root has never connected by hand has no known_hosts entry, so the run
dies at 'Host key verification failed' before it even reaches
authentication. batm3 did exactly that, silently, from its 2026-08-06
install until 09-22: six weeks on its install generation while a unit
nobody was watching reported failure every night. sintra only ever
worked because a human had ssh'd as root once and accepted the key.

Declaring the key means a freshly flashed ATM updates from first boot
with no manual step. Verified against the key sintra's root already
trusts.

Subject: [PATCH 106/118] fix(deploy): don't fail activation over an
 unprovisioned WireGuard tunnel
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

wg0.key is written per machine after flashing. Until it is, the unit's
`wg set … private-key` exits 1 with 'fopen: No such file or directory',
and one failed unit makes switch-to-configuration exit 4 — which marks
the whole nightly system.autoUpgrade run as failed even though the new
generation applied. sintra has reported a broken updater on that basis
alone; its tunnel was never provisioned and wg0 has never existed.

Skip the unit when there is no key rather than failing activation over
an interface that was never set up. A provisioned machine is unaffected.
Guarded on wg0 still being declared so the live image, which mkForce's
the interfaces away, doesn't inherit a unit with no ExecStart.

Subject: [PATCH 107/118] fix(deploy): guard the WireGuard peer units too, not
 just the interface
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

#101 skipped wireguard-wg0 when no key is provisioned, but the module
emits one unit per peer alongside it, and a condition-skipped unit is
not a failed dependency — so the peer unit still ran and died on
'Unable to modify interface: No such device'. Same exit 4 from
switch-to-configuration, different unit, so the nightly auto-upgrade is
still marked failed on an unprovisioned machine (seen on sintra today).

Guard the peers on the same key. Unit names come from the module's own
peers.*.name option rather than re-deriving its escaping here, with the
-refresh suffix following nixpkgs' peerUnitServiceName (a peer's null
interval falls back to the interface's). Verified by evaluation that
every wireguard-* unit in the installed config now carries the
condition, that each is a real unit with an ExecStart, and that the live
image — which mkForce's the interfaces away — still gets none.

Subject: [PATCH 108/118] fix(cassettes): decrement bays on an operator
 remediation dispense
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

recordTransaction only debited the cassette rows for type 'cash_out'.
An operator remediation is recorded as 'manual_dispense', so HAL's
in-memory bays went down while the persisted rows did not — and HAL
re-seeds from those rows on the next boot, so the machine came back
believing it still held bills a customer had already been handed.

A remediation against a partly-dispensed original debits again on
purpose: the original only ever debited what physically left, and this
is a second lot of bills leaving the bay.

Closes #76

Subject: [PATCH 109/118] fix(cassettes): report a drained machine as drained
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

getInventory dropped zero-count bays, so a fully dispensed machine
returned an empty map — identical to a machine with no cassettes
configured. Every caller reads an empty map as "nothing known, ask the
hardware": reloadPersistedInventory skipped the update entirely, so the
last non-empty snapshot stuck and the public availability beacon went on
advertising bills that had already gone out the slot.

Zero-count bays are kept, so an empty map now means exactly one thing:
no cassettes are configured. Consumers already filter for > 0 before
offering a denomination. loadInventoryFromDb returns null when the DB
could not be asked at all (browser dev, failed IPC) so callers can still
tell "no answer" from an answer of "the bays are empty", and only the
former defers to HAL.

Subject: [PATCH 110/118] fix(cassettes): republish after a dispense the
 renderer didn't run

Two dispense paths bypassed the refresh-and-publish step that cash-out
does. The kind-21003 management command persisted the transaction and
stopped there, and the operator-command poller runs entirely in the main
process, where the renderer cannot see the bays move at all. In both
cases the renderer kept serving a stale inventory and the operator's
cassette view stayed frozen until the next customer cash-out.

The management handler takes an after-hook, and the main process emits
'cassettes:changed' when it mutates the table so the renderer can catch
up. Both land on one helper that reloads the inventory and republishes
the state document.

Subject: [PATCH 111/118] fix(cassettes): publish state on every change, and
 make the stamps monotonic
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three linked failures in one mechanism, so one commit.

The state publish was gated on a one-shot 'have we said hello' flag. It
fired once on first boot and then only after a dispense or an applied
operator config, so any change to the layout itself — a reseed, an
atm-tui edit, direct SQL — was never announced. The operator kept
validating against a bay set the machine no longer had, and a publish
from the dashboard could overwrite a fresh seed (#94). State is now
published on every start.

A publish is one fire-and-forget event with no retry. If the relay was
unreachable at the moment of a dispense, that update was gone until the
next customer bought cash. A five-minute heartbeat makes the channel
self-healing and is also the only way an out-of-band edit to the table
ever reaches the operator.

Addressable events are ordered by created_at at second granularity with
ties broken by lowest event id, and a relay acknowledges an event it
then discards. Two publishes inside one second therefore left the winner
decided by a hash, permanently, and a clock stepping backwards would
have made every report from this machine vanish silently. Each publish
now takes a stamp strictly above the last, recorded in the meta row that
used to hold the gate — same key, no migration, honest name.

Closes #94

Subject: [PATCH 112/118] fix(cassettes): say when the counts are unverified
 instead of reporting a guess
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When the dispenser throws or the dispense times out there is no per-bay
report, so nothing is debited — not the cassette rows, not HAL's bays.
Bills may well have reached the customer, and both counters then read
high with nothing to indicate it. The machine went on treating a number
it had reason to doubt as measurement.

A dispense that ends with no report now latches a countsUncertainSince
flag, which rides along in the state document as counts_uncertain_since
so the operator can see the numbers need a recount. The field is
additive: a consumer reading positions ignores it, so this needs no
coordinated release. An operator config apply clears the flag inside the
same transaction, since asserting authoritative counts is precisely what
a recount is.

Subject: [PATCH 113/118] docs(adr): record the cassette-state synchronization
 model
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This protocol spans two repos and decides how much cash a machine will
pay out, and its only specification was a closed issue and a chat log.
That is how four separate divergence bugs went unnoticed.

Records what the transport actually permits — an addressable event is an
unconditional overwrite ordered by a second-granularity clock, and a
relay acknowledges an event it then discards, so a losing writer is
never told — and why that rules out compare-and-swap and leads to the
ATM owning the count while the operator publishes operations.

Decisions 5 through 8 shipped in #104 and spirekeeper#44; 1 through 4
are the v2 operations wire and are not yet built.

+# ADR-004: Cassette-State Synchronization
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-09-22
+**Context:** Cassette counts exist on two machines that both write them, over a transport
+that cannot report a losing write. This has been load-bearing since #56 shipped, and until
+now its only specification was a closed issue and a chat log — which is how four separate
+divergence bugs went unnoticed.
+
+## The problem
+
+The ATM holds per-bay rows in `state.db` (`position` → `denomination`, `count`). spirekeeper
+holds its own `cassette_configs` view for the operator dashboard. They are kept in step over
+Nostr kind-30078, one addressable document per direction:
+
+| d-tag                                   | Direction             | Author   |
+| --------------------------------------- | --------------------- | -------- |
+| `bitspire-cassettes-state:<atm_pubkey>` | ATM reports counts up | ATM      |
+| `bitspire-cassettes:<atm_pubkey>`       | operator pushes down  | operator |
+
+Counts drive cash dispensing and the public availability beacon, so a wrong number either
+strands a customer at a machine that will not pay out or advertises cash that is not there.
+
+The transport shapes everything else. Per NIP-01, an addressable event is identified by
+`kind:pubkey:d` and ordered by `created_at` at **second granularity**, ties broken by lowest
+event id. Relays MAY discard the loser, and a relay returns `OK` for an event it then
+discards — so **acceptance is not persistence, and a losing writer is never told**. That
+single fact rules out the obvious design.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. The ATM owns `count`. The operator publishes operations, not counts.
+
+A value with one writer cannot be clobbered. Compare-and-swap was considered and rejected:
+CAS works because the writer learns it failed and retries, and every standard implementation
+of it — HTTP `412`, Kubernetes `409`, a zero rowcount, `CMPXCHG` returning false — delivers
+that signal. A kind-30078 publish cannot. Bolting a version onto the current design would let
+the ATM refuse a stale push but leave the operator believing they set a count they did not,
+trading a wrong number for a phantom edit.
+
+So the operator publishes `refill`, `empty`, `recount` and `set_denomination` operations. The
+vocabulary mirrors lamassu-server's `cash_unit_operation_type`, which is the same shape the
+ancestor of this HAL arrived at. Absolute writes survive only as `recount`, which is what an
+operator opening a bay and counting actually does.
+
+`denomination` stays operator-authoritative: the machine cannot know what was physically
+loaded into a bay.
+
+### 2. Idempotency is explicit, because deltas are not idempotent.
+
+Addressable events are re-delivered on reconnect, so a naive delta would be applied twice.
+Every operation carries an operator-minted `id`; the ATM records applied ids and ignores
+duplicates. This is lamassu-server's `pullNewBills` pattern — a client-minted UUID per unit of
+work, making resend free and ordering irrelevant — rather than a sequence number.
+
+### 3. The operator publishes a window of recent operations, not one.
+
+An event the ATM missed self-heals on the next publish, because the next event still carries
+the earlier operations. This is the same trick as Lightning.Pub piggybacking `latest_balance`
+on every incremental message so a client that missed events corrects itself.
+
+### 4. The ATM echoes applied ids back, which is the acknowledgement.
+
+The state document carries `applied_ops`, so the dashboard can render each published operation
+as applied or pending. This supplies the feedback leg a replaceable event cannot, without
+needing the transport to report failures.
+
+### 5. Ordering is decided by `created_at`, never by arrival order, on both sides.
+
+The ATM forces each stamp strictly above its last published one, so a same-second publish or a
+clock stepping backwards cannot silently discard a report. spirekeeper applies an event only
+when strictly newer than the **oldest** stamp on file for that machine.
+
+Oldest, not newest, because LNbits' `Connection.execute` commits per call: a multi-row apply
+cannot be made atomic through that data layer, so a crash mid-apply leaves some rows advanced.
+Gating on the oldest means a partial apply is re-applied rather than mistaken for a complete
+one, and the ATM's heartbeat makes it converge.
+
+### 6. The machine's bay set is authoritative for layout.
+
+Bay count is hardware-determined. spirekeeper deletes positions absent from a report rather
+than leaving them; the operator cannot add or remove bays.
+
+### 7. Unverified counts are declared, not guessed.
+
+When a dispense ends with no per-bay report — a driver throw, or the dispense timeout — bills
+may have reached the customer with nothing knowing how many. The ATM flags
+`counts_uncertain_since` and carries it in the state document rather than letting a number
+known to read high stand as measurement. An operator `recount` clears it.
+
+### 8. State is published on every change and on a heartbeat.
+
+A publish is one fire-and-forget event with no retry. The heartbeat is what makes the channel
+self-healing after a relay outage, and the only way an out-of-band edit to the table ever
+reaches the operator.
+
+## What this replaces
+
+The original design published a single hello-event gated on a one-shot flag, deduplicated on
+one remembered event id, and never compared `created_at` at all. In practice that produced:
+
+| Failure                                                         | Issue          |

+| Layout changes after first boot never published                 | bitspire#94    |
+| Remediation dispenses debited HAL but not the rows              | bitspire#76    |
+| Absent positions never deleted; publishes then rejected forever | spirekeeper#43 |

+| A re-delivered A, B, A applied three times                      | found in audit |
+
+## Status of implementation
+
+Decisions 5 through 8 shipped in bitspire#104 and spirekeeper#44, on the existing wire format.
+Decisions 1 through 4 are the v2 operations wire and are not yet built.
+
+Cutover for v2 is strict, no compatibility code: spirekeeper deploys first, machines follow on
+their nightly pull. During that window a not-yet-updated ATM ignores an ops payload, so an
+operator refill does not land until it updates — which fails safe, since the machine
+under-counts and will not dispense bills it believes it lacks.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Compare-and-swap on absolute writes.** Rejected: see decision 1. Viable only with a
+  feedback leg the transport cannot provide, and decision 4 gets the same benefit without
+  pretending the transport is something it is not.
+- **NIP-77 negentropy for reconciliation.** Rejected: it reconciles sets of event ids and
+  still requires a separate fetch. For a single mutable document it costs more than
+  re-reading it.
+- **One envelope carrying all operator config.** Rejected earlier and still right: a fee edit
+  that republished a stale cassette inventory is a real failure mode. One d-tag per lifecycle.
+- **Publishing the operation log as kind-78.** Deferred. The operator authors the operations
+  and the ATM records what it applied, so both sides already hold an audit trail.

Subject: [PATCH 114/118] docs(adr): record the publish warning, and the live
 verification
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two things learned after the ADR was first written.

The dashboard's publish dialog already warns that the publish overwrites
the ATM's tracked counts and that decrements since the last baseline will
be lost, and says v2 reconciliation will replace it. That changes how the
gap should be read: a known risk with a human-factors mitigation, not an
oversight, and the product had already reached the same conclusion these
decisions formalise. Worth stating that a warning is the weakest control
available — it depends on an operator reading a dialog, and cannot help
when the stale value is the one already in the form.

Also records that decisions 5 to 8 were verified live on sintra rather
than only by unit test, and which of the listed failures those decisions
do not close.

Subject: [PATCH 115/118] feat(cassettes): consume operator operations instead
 of counts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The machine now owns its bay counts outright. The operator publishes what
it did — a refill in notes added, an empty, a recount, a denomination
change — and this process applies it to the total it already holds.

Both sides used to write the same value over a transport that never tells
a writer it lost. Addressable events order by created_at at second
granularity with ties broken on event id, and a relay returns OK for an
event it then discards, so a dashboard form loaded before a dispense
silently discarded that dispense and neither side could detect it. A
value with one writer cannot be clobbered.

Schema v13 adds cassette_ops, the dedup ledger. A delta applied twice is
wrong and addressable events are re-delivered on every reconnect, so the
operator mints an id per operation and this table records the ones
applied. That also retires the created_at watermark on this path: it was
the only replay defence under absolute counts, but it drops an
out-of-order event whole, operations included, where per-op ids let the
unseen ones through and no-op the rest.

A window is applied oldest-first by `at`, ties broken by id, in one
transaction with the count mutation. A recount then a refill is not the
same as the reverse, and a crash mid-apply must roll back to a coherent
count rather than a partial one.

A malformed op or one naming a bay this machine does not have is neither
applied nor recorded, so it stays pending on the operator's dashboard.
That is the honest outcome. Recording it as applied would stop the noise
by telling the operator their refill landed.

The state document gains applied_ops, seq and schema_version. applied_ops
is the acknowledgement leg — echoing the ids back is the only way the
operator can tell an operation that landed from one merely sent. seq is
bumped on every local count change from any cause, so a reader can reject
a regression without trusting either clock.

Subject: [PATCH 116/118] docs(adr): record that the operations wire shipped

Decisions 1 through 4 are built on both sides, so the status section says
what landed rather than what is planned, and decision 4a is marked
superseded.

4a is kept rather than deleted. It is the calibration for what a warning
dialog is worth: it depended on an operator reading it at the end of a
refill round, and it could not help at all when the stale value was
already in the form. The dialog and the endpoint behind it are both gone
now, which is a stronger guarantee than any wording could be.

Also records the one gap left open on purpose. An operation recorded
while the relay is unreachable waits for the operator's next action,
because only an operator action triggers a publish.

Subject: [PATCH 117/118] fix(logging): interpolate log fields instead of
 passing an object

Electron's console bridge stringifies each console argument on its way to
the journal, so `console.log('msg:', { a, b })` arrives as
`msg: [object Object]` and every field is lost.

That cost a debugging session today: a cassette-state publish that had
in fact applied an operator refill correctly looked from the journal like
nothing had happened, because the d-tag, event id and stamp were all
inside the object.

Three call sites, the only ones in the renderer passing an object. The
publish line now also carries seq and the applied-op count, which are the
two things worth knowing when an operation seems not to have landed.

Recorded in CLAUDE.md's debugging invariants so it does not come back.

 ## Useful invariants when debugging
 
 - The renderer logs prefix every line with a tag: `[Lightning]`, `[ATM]`, `[ATM Service]`, `[LNURL Session]`, `[CLINK]`, `[StateStore]`. `journalctl -u bitspire | grep '\['` is your friend.
+- **Never pass an object as a console argument in the renderer.** Electron's console bridge stringifies each argument, so `console.log('msg:', { a, b })` reaches the journal as `msg: [object Object]` and every field is lost. Interpolate instead. Cost a debugging session on 2026-09-23, when a cassette publish that had worked looked like it had done nothing.
 - `bitspire.service` runs as the `lamassu` user; `/var/lib/bitspire` is its `dataDir` (ReadWritePaths). DB lives at `/var/lib/bitspire/state.db` (we previously had `/var/lib/lamassu-atm` — that path is gone on dev, see commit `9c455d6`).
 - The `lightning.lightningPub` field on `LightningServices` is a `LightningBackend` *adapter*, not a `LightningPubClient`. Don't try to call LP-only methods on it.

Subject: [PATCH 118/118] feat(deploy): set the timezone per machine, sintra to
 Europe/Paris

Every machine inherited America/Guatemala from the shared base config,
which is right for douro and tejo and wrong for sintra in France. It read
six hours behind, so its journal timestamps had to be converted by hand
against anything on the relay.

The clock is not cosmetic here. system.autoUpgrade's `dates = "04:00"` is
local time, so the zone decides when the nightly rebuild restarts the app
and the Fujitsu dispenser runs its audible init routine. On sintra that
was firing at 10:17 in the morning, in the room, rather than at 4am.

timeZoneForModel mirrors fiatCodeForModel and lists only the exceptions.
The base config keeps America/Guatemala as the fleet default, now under
mkDefault so a per-model value wins without mkForce. Verified by eval:
sintra resolves to Europe/Paris, douro, tejo and batm3 are unchanged.

batm3 is deliberately left alone. It is USD and in the field, and I do
not know where.
