Summary

This report covers all work completed since the Month 4 report, which closed at the v0.10.1 release on May 7, 2026.

Month 5 was the Expansion phase. Its through-line was the Remote Wallets platform — a named, pluggable Lightning-source abstraction that every card and Lightning address now binds to — followed by the card-system apps and a broad sweep of platform polish. The month also hardened the release and deployment pipeline all the way to a first stable v1.0.0.

Highlights:

• Remote Wallets (Connections Manager) — a RemoteWallet model with a pluggable driver layer (lib/wallet/drivers/), the NWC driver (LND / CLN / BTCPay reserved), and a Connection Map UI (desktop canvas + mobile tabs). Legacy NWCConnection rows migrate forward to RemoteWallet rows of type = NWC.
• Card System Apps — the two external apps card-installer (Android / NFC; bulk-writes blank NTAG424 cards and registers them as initialized) and card-manager (prints an Activation QR), plus the SIMPLE / ONE_TIME activation-token backend (Card.kind, CardActivationToken).
• QR-based JWT device-token login — an admin mints a scoped, time-boxed JWT rendered as a QR for a device to scan.
• In-codebase plugin system — apps/web/plugins/ runtime (registry, loader, JSON-first storage), a pnpm plugin:new scaffold, and a badges reference plugin — all with zero core edits.
• Developer-experience program — one-command bootstrap, per-worktree isolated Postgres + ports, a rewritten Turbo graph, a Playwright E2E tier, and a docs-drift CI gate.
• Standalone lawallet installer CLI — the curl | bash bootstrap for a local stack (apps/cli).
• NTAG424 key lockdown, Blocked-card lifecycle, and write-token replay protection (v0.12.0).
• LNCurl disposable / remote wallets + a wallet detail page; domain verification on LNURL / NIP-05 (v0.12.0).
• First stable v1.0.0 (June 20) — card activation QRs and on-demand LNCurl wallets.
• Deployment pipeline — multi-arch masize/lawallet-nwc Docker Hub publish + Umbrel app-store auto-update, admin wallet-view redesign + dev impersonation (#55), card design page + emulator payment flow + 3D card (#56), card-detail tabs + spend history (#59).

Main repository stats (lawallet-nwc): 546 files changed, 59,590 insertions, 10,673 deletions across the v0.11.0 → v1.0.10 release window (287 commits).
