Novij Backup Agent

Changes

  • Storage without a billing wallet registered on the selected Relay is no longer

eligible for writes: the probe verifies the actual `wallet_id` instead of

treating a WebSocket `pong` as full node readiness. Automatic failover is also

limited to Storage nodes validated during the current discovery.

  • Built-in bootstrap Relay addresses now use the original Ino and Saint

Petersburg Relay domains instead of temporary seed aliases.

  • Network Registry is now used as the authoritative active-membership source,

while the agent confirms Storage availability with its own probe. A delayed

heartbeat can no longer produce a false no-Storage failure in `verify`,

`doctor`, or `restore`.

  • Updated the vendored C++ SDK to keep a validated Network Registry checkpoint

and scheduled node selection for 48 hours. A temporary seed failure still

triggers safe failover without unnecessary network probes.

  • Fixed fragmented Storage WebSocket text responses: the C++ SDK now waits for

the final continuation frame, preserves fragment order, and builds without

the false GCC uninitialized-opcode warning.

  • Removed the modern CMake warning from vendored `yaml-cpp 0.8.0`: a

reproducible patch step raises the dependency policy minimum to 3.5 without

disabling diagnostics.

  • `novij-backup blocks` now prints only chunks and manifest blocks required by active retained backups; expired history and stale coverage-only links are excluded.
  • Dedicated ZK funding safely retries explicit `LEDGER_BACKEND_UNAVAILABLE` responses without retrying ambiguous transfer outcomes.
  • ZK sync now returns and immediately reuses the actual active coupon ID, so a coupon rotation cannot make doctor/verify recheck the expired predecessor.
  • `doctor` loads the persisted `zk-coupon.json` before its first audit, making rotated-coupon checks idempotent without rewriting the obsolete bootstrap coupon.
  • Added package-site channels for `latest` and `stable`.
  • Added HTML release-note pages for the package site.
  • Added a bilingual package-site index page.

Update

  • Updated auto-update support for `updates.base_url`, `updates.channel`, and `novij-backup update --channel`.
  • Updated the installer with `NOVIJ_PACKAGE_CHANNEL=latest|stable` support.
  • Updated CI `.deb` version generation to the chronological `0.<Y>.<MM>.<DDHHMM>` format in the `Europe/Moscow` zone.
  • Updated package-site deployment to check the whole site tree, fix ownership through `sudo` when possible, and print the server command when permissions are missing.

Compatibility

  • Existing configs without `updates.base_url` and `updates.channel` keep using the `latest` channel.
