…g locked When AutoUnlockPassword is set, NewService ran StartApp once synchronously and discarded the error. If the first attempt failed (e.g. the hub boots after a power cut before the internet connection is restored), the process stayed alive but locked until someone unlocked manually. - Run auto-unlock in a goroutine with capped exponential backoff (10s -> 5min), exiting on success, context cancellation, manual unlock (app already started) or permanent errors (invalid password, missing unlock password check). This also stops auto-unlock from blocking web UI startup. - Remove the internal 60x10s connection retry loop from NewLNDService: auto-unlock retries are now handled by the service-level loop, and a manual unlock fails fast with a visible error instead of hanging the /start request. All backends now behave uniformly. - Move the start/stop mutex from the api package into the service struct so the auto-unlock path is covered too: StartApp, StopApp and the api's Setup all take the lock via the new WithStartLock, which returns a sentinel ErrAppBusy when an operation is already in progress.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe service now controls application lifecycle locking. Automatic unlock retries startup asynchronously with capped backoff. LND performs one connection check. API and backup flows propagate application stop errors. ChangesApplication lifecycle control
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR makes auto-unlock asynchronous and changes shutdown handling, but shutdown failures can still be hidden while backup creation proceeds, and retry work may access resources during teardown. These concrete lifecycle and data-integrity risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- api.Stop no longer pre-checks GetLNClient outside the lock: StopApp now checks it while holding the start lock and returns a new ErrAppNotStarted sentinel, so stopping during an in-progress start or setup reports busy instead of not started. - Shutdown blocks on the start lock instead of using StopApp's TryLock, so it waits for any in-progress start or stop and always stops the app before publishing nwc_stopped and stopping the DB. - Wrap the LND connection error with context in NewLNDService.

Propagate LN client shutdown failures through StopApp.
stopAppInternal() waits for stopLNClient(), but it has no error result. stopLNClient() only logs and publishes nwc_node_stop_failed when lnClient.Shutdown() fails, so StopApp() still returns nil at Line 19.
In api/backup.go (Lines 63-252), a nil result allows backup creation to continue and archive LN files after a failed shutdown. This can produce an inconsistent backup. stopLNClient() also clears svc.lnClient before the shutdown call, so a later stop can return ErrAppNotStarted while the client may still be active.
Record and return the stop error. Keep an explicit failed or stopping state until shutdown succeeds.

Problem
When
AutoUnlockPasswordis set,NewServicecalledsvc.StartApp(autoUnlockPassword)once, synchronously, and discarded the error. If that first attempt failed — e.g. after a power cut when the hub boots before the internet connection is restored — the process stayed alive but locked. A supervisor like systemd sees a healthy service and never restarts it, so the hub sits offline until someone unlocks manually.LND had its own workaround in the wrong layer:
NewLNDServiceretried the connection 60×10s, which blocked web UI startup for up to 10 minutes on auto-unlock and hung the/startrequest on manual unlock. The other backends had no retry at all.Changes
startAppWithRetries): a goroutine with capped exponential backoff (10s → 5min) that exits on success, context cancellation,ErrAlreadyStarted(user unlocked manually mid-loop), or permanent errors (ErrInvalidPassword,ErrIncompleteWalletData). Transient failures — including the offline Alby-auth error from token refresh — keep retrying. The web UI is no longer blocked while auto-unlock is in progress.NewLNDServicenow makes a single connection attempt. Auto-unlock retries are covered by the service-level loop; a manual unlock fails fast with a visible error. All backends behave uniformly.apipackage into theservicestruct — the auto-unlock path bypasses the api package, so the old package-level mutex didn't cover it and thesvc.lnClient != nilcheck wasn't atomic.WithStartLock(fn)is the single guard (returning a sentinelErrAppBusy), used byStartApp,StopAppand the api'sSetup; the api-level global mutex is deleted.StopAppnow returns an error so busy/stop conflicts are visible to callers.Error messages returned to the frontend are unchanged (
app is busy,invalid password,app already started).Testing
