  Morphit v1.17.4

  A polish release, written entirely from watching three real upgrades. Nothing
  here changes what Morphit does — it changes what the upgrade tells you while
  it does it. No protocol or consensus change.

  Fixed

  • Long steps no longer look frozen. Installing dependencies, redeploying the
    MCP server, seeding to IPFS and refreshing the snapshot mirror could each sit
    silent for a minute or more with nothing on screen. Every one of them now turns
    a spinner while it works, so you can always tell the difference between "busy"
    and "stuck". Their output is replayed in full when the step finishes.

  • The seeding self-check can finally see your addresses. It reported "no
    public origin found" and "no hidden address configured" on all three
    instances — including one that is reachable only over Tor and I2P, where the
    message was plainly absurd. Cause: it read one config file and your settings
    live in the other one. It now reads both, plus the web-firewall's own hostname
    as a last resort.

  • Hidden-only upgrades show their release notes. A node that fetches over
    Tor/I2P had no release page to read notes from, so it printed an empty heading
    and you upgraded blind. The notes ship inside the tarball, so they are now read
    from there — the same bytes the SHA-256 already covers.

  • The gateway check no longer raises a false alarm. It asked the gateway for
    an address the gateway does not serve, then read the resulting error as proof
    the connection was blocked — so it announced a problem on every instance,
    including ones demonstrably working. It now asks for something the gateway does
    serve, and treats any reply at all as proof the path is open.

  • Your own instance card now shows your own badge. A node scores its
    clearnet-elimination gate for peers, but never recorded it for itself — so the
    one instance that had actually earned the "Zero use of clearnet internet" medal
    was the only place it didn't appear. Every peer showed it correctly. The self
    card now reads the same gate everyone else sees.

  • Your own instance card no longer disagrees with your peers about your
    status. A node labelled itself only "Good" or "Syncing", while peers applied
    an orderbook-activity rule and could show "Quiet" — the same instance described
    two ways with nothing to explain the gap. The self card now applies the same
    rule. It only relabels on a definite answer, so a lookup that tells it nothing
    can never mark a busy instance quiet.

  Added

  • A safe way to rehearse fast-sync. --verify-only runs the entire consumer
    path — find the signed snapshot on-chain, pick a mirror, download it over
    whichever transport suits the node, and prove every byte against the on-chain
    SHA-256 — then stops before touching any database and tells you what it found.
    It needs no indexer, no Postgres and no server, so you can rehearse the whole
    thing from a laptop and know it works before a brand-new instance depends on
    it.
  • The snapshot publisher's timer installs itself. The publish units were only
    laid down by the automated server setup, which never runs on a hand-built
    install — including the canonical one. They are now installed on every upgrade
    but stay inert until you opt in by creating /etc/morphit/snapshot-publish.env,
    so exactly one instance publishes and no upgrade can make a box start signing
    snapshots by surprise.

  Changed

  • Less alarming output when a check is inconclusive. The gateway check used to
    end with a warning that hidden-only peers could not upgrade from your box — a
    consequence it had not actually established, printed after the upgrade's own
    success message. It now reports only what it observed, says plainly that it can
    be wrong, and makes clear that nothing about it blocks your upgrade.

  Notes

  • No protocol/consensus change. Everything here is operator-facing output quality.
  • If v1.17.3 told you your box had no hidden address or warned that hidden peers
    could not upgrade from it, neither was true — both were reporting bugs, fixed
    here.
