New `furtka catalog sync` pulls the latest daniel/furtka-apps release,
verifies its sha256, extracts under /var/lib/furtka/catalog/, and
atomically swaps into place — so apps can ship without cutting a new
Furtka core release. A daily timer (furtka-catalog-sync.timer, 10 min
post-boot + 24 h with ±6 h jitter) drives the sync; /apps gets a
manual "Sync apps catalog" button that kicks the same code path via a
detached systemd-run unit.
Layout of the new on-box tree:
/var/lib/furtka/catalog/ synced catalog (survives self-updates)
├── VERSION
└── apps/<name>/ ...
/var/lib/furtka/catalog-state.json sync stage + last version, UI-polled
/run/furtka/catalog.lock flock so timer + manual click can't race
Resolver precedence (furtka/sources.py): catalog wins over the bundled
seed (/opt/furtka/current/apps/, carried by the core release for offline
first-boot). Installed apps under /var/lib/furtka/apps/ are never auto-
swapped — user clicks Reinstall to move an existing install onto a
newer catalog version; settings merge-preserved via the existing
installer.install_from path.
New files:
- furtka/_release_common.py — shared Forgejo/tarball primitives lifted
from furtka/updater.py. Both modules now import from here; updater's
behaviour and public API unchanged.
- furtka/catalog.py — check_catalog(), sync_catalog() with staging +
manifest validation + atomic rename. Refuses bad sha256 / broken
manifests and leaves the live catalog intact on any failure path.
- furtka/sources.py — resolve_app_name() / list_available() abstraction
used by installer.resolve_source and api._list_available.
- assets/systemd/furtka-catalog-sync.{service,timer} — oneshot service
+ daily timer. Timer auto-enables on self-update via a one-line
addition to _link_new_units (fresh installs get enabled via the
webinstaller's _FURTKA_UNITS list).
API + UI:
- /api/bundled renamed internally to _list_available; endpoint stays as
a backcompat alias; /api/apps/available is the new canonical name.
Each list entry carries a `source` field ("catalog" | "bundled").
- POST /api/catalog/sync/check + /apply + GET /api/catalog/status.
- /apps page grows a catalog-status row + Sync button; poll loop
mirrors the Furtka self-update flow.
CLI: `furtka catalog sync [--check]` + `furtka catalog status` (both
support --json). Old `furtka app install` / `reconcile` / `update` /
`rollback` surfaces are unchanged.
Test gate: 194/170 baseline + 24 new tests covering catalog sync
(happy path, sha256 mismatch, invalid manifest, lock contention,
preserves-on-failure) + resolver precedence + api renames. ruff
check + format clean.

Root cause of today's 403 on a fresh install: assets/ lived inside the
Python package at furtka/assets/, so the resource-manager tarball
extracted to /opt/furtka/versions/<ver>/furtka/assets/. But Caddyfile
has `root * /opt/furtka/current/assets/www`, systemd units point at
/opt/furtka/current/assets/bin/furtka-status, and the install-time
`systemctl link /opt/furtka/current/assets/systemd/*.service` expected
the top-level layout. All three found nothing:
- Caddy → 403 Forbidden (empty/missing document root)
- systemctl link → silent no-op, nothing ever linked into
/etc/systemd/system/
- furtka-api.service + furtka-reconcile.service → "inactive" because
they were never registered
Nothing in the Python package ever imported furtka.assets — these are
shell scripts, HTML/CSS, systemd units, and a Caddyfile, which is
config data, not package data. Promoting assets/ to the repo root
matches how it's referenced everywhere downstream and eliminates the
path mismatch.
Changes:
- git mv furtka/assets assets
- iso/build.sh: tarball-staging step now also `cp -a "$REPO_ROOT/assets"`
so the tarball ships ./assets at its root, and the live-ISO copy
reads from $REPO_ROOT/assets instead of $REPO_ROOT/furtka/assets.
- scripts/build-release-tarball.sh: same for release tarballs.
- webinstaller/app.py: _resolve_assets_dir's dev fallback walks one
level up to REPO_ROOT/assets/.
- tests/test_webinstaller_assets.py: ASSETS constant updated.
Tests still green (150/150) because both paths were fs-level — no
code imports changed. Next ISO build will land assets at the path
everything downstream expects.
