Archon v0.7.0

[macterra]

Highlights

• Native Rust Gatekeeper landed, making the core identity service faster and more portable, with follow-up fixes for Docker packaging, dmail creation performance, and event registration timestamp handling.
• Identity management got a major upgrade across the client apps with improved identity views, avatar management, name property editing, and address publish actions.
• Herald became much more capable with avatar support end to end, updated address CLI workflows, and a new email-to-dmail bridge via SendGrid.
• Satoshi mediator reliability improved with pruned-node compatibility and a fix for startup block sync backfill when historical ranges are missing.
• Keymaster added address management CLI commands, expanding automation and operator workflows.
• One-click login was added for URL challenge flows, making challenge-response authentication much smoother.
• Observability improved with live service versions in Grafana and normalized dynamic route labels in metrics.
• Lightning UX improved by showing failed payments more clearly.
• Wallet import flows improved by storing imported Nostr nsec values in the wallet.
• Documentation expanded substantially with runtime container architecture diagrams and language-agnostic service specs for Gatekeeper, Keymaster, and mediators.
• Test coverage and safety improved with new CLI asset command tests and stronger guards against helpers wiping dev data.
• Release engineering and CI were cleaned up with version bumps, mediator checkpoint export updates, and dependency workflow consolidation.
