Morphit v1.0.0-beta.14

A broad release on top of beta.13: operator tooling (a one-command systemd installer and a single consolidated node-health view), several front-end fixes, and warrant-canary improvements. Recommended for all operators.

Added

  • A one-command systemd installer. sudo bash ops/scripts/install-systemd-units.sh installs the indexer, relay, and matrix-bot units pointed at the directory you actually cloned into — /opt/morphit, ~/morphit, or anywhere else — so they start without a hand-written systemctl edit drop-in. (The MCP server and the weekly mint-acts job keep running from their own restricted directories as separate low-privilege users; that isolation is intentional, and the installer leaves it alone.)

  • A consolidated "Node health" view. morphit-ops health now reports the indexer, the relay, the matrix-bot and MCP service states, and warrant-canary freshness on one screen. It also auto-discovers an indexer or relay bound to the Docker bridge gateway, so it no longer reports "could not reach the indexer" on container deployments where the service isn't on loopback — no flag needed.

  • The indexer health endpoint now explains its block lag. GET /v1/health already reported lag_blocks (how many blocks behind chain head the indexer is); it now also returns lag_blocks_note — a plain hint like 0-30 is normal (~90s behind; Blurt makes a block every 3s) — so you can tell whether a given lag is fine without memorising thresholds. The morphit-ops health view shows the same context line.

Fixed

  • The instances list now shows a "Syncing" status. A node that is reachable but still catching up to the chain after a restart shows Syncing rather than Unreachable, and every status pill has a hover tooltip explaining what it means.

  • Consistent form-field focus styling. Every input, select, and filter across the site now shows a single consistent focus ring; the Fiat-currency and Payment-method fields no longer draw a doubled border.

  • Glossary tooltips on the run-a-node guide. The hover popovers now position correctly near the top of the page, stay reachable long enough to click through to the glossary, and that deep link now works.

  • Dates display consistently. Absolute dates across the instances list, the explorer, profiles, and order details now render in one localised "11 June, 2026" format.

  • The "Load it now" update prompt is now verified end-to-end. After an upgrade, the tool confirms that the freshly built frontend is actually what your site serves, and tells you whether returning visitors will get the reload prompt — instead of failing silently when a stale build is being served.

  • A malformed line in the matrix-bot systemd unit. The morphit-matrix-bot.service unit carried a comment written inline after a directive (MemoryDenyWriteExecute=false # ...). systemd only treats a line as a comment when it starts with #, so it logged a parse warning and ignored that directive — harmless, because the ignored value matched the default, but noise in the journal. The comment is now on its own line.

Changed

  • The orderbook filter card collapses once you apply a filter, freeing space above the fold; a +/x toggle re-opens it.

  • The warrant canary's news-entropy feed now defaults to Cointelegraph (still overridable per operator).

  • The morphit-ops main-menu headings are de-numbered so they no longer collide visually with the numbered actions.

Under the hood

  • New regression smokes cover the systemd installer, the consolidated health view's auto-probe and canary-freshness parsing, the "Syncing" status path, and the upgrade's frontend-serve verification.

  • Operator-doc cleanup. The "Set up systemd services" section of the run-a-node guide now points at the installer, and the old systemctl edit drop-in workaround is retired.


Upgrade notes

A drop-in upgrade from beta.13. After upgrading you can — optionally — run sudo bash ops/scripts/install-systemd-units.sh to (re)install the units pointed at your checkout; that's useful if you'd previously hand-edited paths, or if any service was still running outside systemd. The health-endpoint note and the front-end fixes need no action — they appear once the indexer restarts on beta.14 and the frontend redeploys.
