+# NetBird Agent Guidelines
+
+**NetBird** is an open-source connectivity platform: a WireGuard®-based overlay
+network with a control plane. The **agent** (`client/`) runs on user machines as
+a privileged daemon and manages the WireGuard interface, routing, firewall, and
+DNS. **Management** (`management/`) is the control plane and REST/gRPC API,
+**Signal** (`signal/`) brokers peer handshakes, **Relay** (`relay/`) carries
+traffic when a direct tunnel is impossible, and **Proxy** (`proxy/`) is the
+identity-aware proxy behind Agent Network.
+
+This file applies to the whole repository, and is the single source of truth for
+agent guidance here. `CLAUDE.md` is a one-line pointer to it — keep the guidance
+in this file, not duplicated there.

+
+## STOP and ask the user before
+
+- **Opening a pull request for anything beyond a trivial fix, without an agreed
+  ticket.** Ask the user directly: *"Is there a discussion or issue for this
+  change?"* NetBird is discussion-first — community reports start in
+  [Discussions](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions), DevRel
+  validates them, and only validated discussions become issues. A PR that
+  changes behavior with no linked issue may be closed on arrival. If there is no
+  ticket, offer to draft the discussion post **instead of** the PR, and wait for
+  the user's call. Only typos, broken links, documentation corrections, and
+  one-line fixes that already have an issue can skip this.
+- **Designing in any high-risk area** (see
+  [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md#high-risk-areas)): public API and OpenAPI
+  schema, gRPC protos, behavior existing deployments would notice after an
+  upgrade, peer connectivity (ICE, NAT traversal, relay selection, WireGuard® or
+  Rosenpass key handling), client system integration (routing, firewall, DNS,
+  interface), authentication and authorization, CLI or service flags, config
+  file format, daemon IPC, store schema and migrations, or a new feature. The
+  design gets agreed in the ticket before code is written.
+- **Writing a store migration or changing a persisted model.** Migrations are
+  one-way in the field and both the GORM and pgx paths may need the change.
+- **Hand-editing generated code.** `*.pb.go`, `*.gen.go`, and mocks are outputs.
+  Edit the source (`.proto`, `openapi.yml`) and rerun the matching
+  `generate.sh`.
+- **Adding, removing, or bumping a dependency**, and never vendor a fork.
+- **Weakening a security control** — authentication, authorization, certificate
+  verification, privilege dropping, or peer identity checks — even when it is
+  the fastest way to make a test pass.
+- **Force-pushing to `main`**, force-pushing any branch that is already under
+  review, amending pushed commits, or bypassing hooks with `--no-verify`.

+./signal/signal run --log-level debug --log-file console
+./management/management management --log-level debug --log-file console --config ./management.json
+```
+
+`netbird up` needs root and rewrites the host's routing table, firewall rules,
+DNS configuration, and WireGuard® interface. Run it only in a disposable test
+environment (a VM, container, or throwaway host) that you can rebuild, never on
+a workstation or server whose connectivity matters. Run `sudo netbird down`
+before you stop working, before rebuilding the binary, and on every failure
+path, so the host's networking state is restored instead of left half-applied.
+See [Pitfalls](#pitfalls) for why cleanup on every exit path matters.

+
+## Repo-wide principles
+
+1. **Run `go fmt` on every modified Go file.** Formatting is not optional.
+2. **Zero unaddressed diagnostics.** Fix IDE and linter warnings on code you
+   touch, and delete imports, helpers, and parameters your refactor orphaned.
+   Exception: unused parameters in shared code may be consumed by builds outside
+   this repository — do not remove them, ask instead.
+3. **Function comments are mandatory for exported functions**, written as full
+   sentences with a period, starting with the identifier name.
+4. **Prefer private functions and constants.** Export only what a caller outside
+   the package genuinely needs.
+5. **Early returns and guard clauses.** Handle errors and edge cases first
+   instead of nesting `if`/`else` chains.
+6. **Split complex functions.** If a function trips a complexity warning, break
+   it into named helpers rather than silencing the warning.
+7. **Avoid LLM-slop tells:** em dashes, hedging narration, restating the diff in
+   prose, trailing summaries. Defaults, not absolute bans. Applies to code,
+   comments, commit messages, and PR descriptions alike.
+8. **Concurrency: do a two-pass race analysis after every change** that adds
+   shared state. Guard maps and slices with a mutex, keep critical sections
+   short, and run `go test -race` on the touched packages.
+9. **Cross-platform builds must keep working.** The agent targets Linux, macOS,
+   Windows, FreeBSD, Android, and iOS. When you add a platform-specific file,
+   add the counterpart or a build-tagged fallback for the others.
+10. **Never hand-edit generated files.** Change the source and regenerate.
+11. **Never log secrets** — private keys, setup keys, tokens, PAT values — and
+    keep peer IPs and hostnames out of logs above debug level.
+
+## Error handling
+
+Use single-assignment form when the error is only needed inside the `if`:
+
+```go
+// Good
+if err := someCall(); err != nil {
+    return fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)
+}
+
+// Bad - unnecessary split
+err := someCall()
+if err != nil {
+    return fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)
+}
+```
+
+Use multiple assignment when the value is needed after the block:
+
+```go
+result, err := someCall()
+if err != nil {
+    return fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)
+}
+```
+
+Add short, meaningful context, and **do not** start `fmt.Errorf` messages with
+obvious words like "failed to" or "error":
+
+```go
+// Good
+return fmt.Errorf("parse remote address: %w", err)
+return fmt.Errorf("listen on %s: %w", addr, err)
+
+// Bad
+return fmt.Errorf("failed to parse remote address: %w", err)
+return fmt.Errorf("error listening on %s: %w", addr, err)
+
+// "failed" is fine in log messages
+log.Debugf("failed to parse remote address: %v", err)
+```
+
+Skip the wrapping when a function only extracts or delegates and the wrap would
+add nothing:
+
+```go
+func parseAddr(addr string) (string, int, error) {
+    host, portStr, err := net.SplitHostPort(addr)
+    if err != nil {
+        return "", 0, err
+    }
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+Log the errors you choose not to act on:
+
+- `log.Debugf()` for errors that do not affect program flow but help debugging.
+- `log.Tracef()` for very verbose errors that would otherwise spam logs.
+- **Never ignore** errors from writes, network sends, or critical cleanup.
+- Close errors may be ignored for read-only operations; log them at debug for
+  writes.
+
+## Comments
+
+Comment the **why**, never the **what**. Default to no comment, and add one only
+when a hidden constraint or workaround would surprise a future reader. Never
+reference the current task, PR, or your own changes in a comment.
+
+```go
+// Bad - trailing comments explaining the obvious
+defer localConn.Close() // Close the connection
+if err != nil {         // Check if error occurred
+
+// Good
+defer localConn.Close()
+
+// Good - explains a non-obvious constraint
+// Use incremental checksum update per RFC 1624 for performance.
+checksum = updateChecksum(checksum, oldPort, newPort)
+```
+
+### Length budget
+
+- **90 characters per line.** Wrap the comment, do not run past it.
+- **250 characters per comment**, roughly three wrapped lines. Doc comments on
+  exported identifiers may exceed it when the API genuinely needs the
+  explanation; inline comments inside a function body may not.
+
+The budget is a smell detector, not a rule to game. Do not compress a needed
+explanation into cryptic shorthand to fit — if a block of code needs more than
+250 characters of prose, the code is doing too much. Fix the code:
+
+- **Extract a named function.** A well-named function replaces the comment: the
+  name says *what*, the body shows *how*, and the comment you no longer write
+  was the *what* anyway. Clean Code calls this "explain yourself in code".
+- **Extract a named constant or predicate.** `if isExpiredSetupKey(key)` needs
+  no comment; `if key.ExpiresAt.Before(now) && !key.Revoked && key.UsageLimit > 0`
+  does.
+- **Keep the surviving comment for the why** — the RFC, the kernel quirk, the
+  ordering constraint. That part is usually one or two lines.
+
+### Long switch and if/else chains
+
+A `switch` whose cases carry multi-line explanations is the usual place this
+budget is breached, and the comment is a symptom. In order of preference:
+
+1. **Extract each case body into a named function.** The case becomes one line,
+   the name carries the meaning, and the switch reads as a table of contents.
+2. **Replace the switch with a lookup table** — `map[Kind]handlerFunc` — when the
+   branches are uniform. Adding a case stops meaning editing a growing function.
+3. **Replace conditional with polymorphism** when branches vary by type and the
+   same switch shape starts appearing in more than one place. Clean Code's rule
+   of thumb: tolerate a switch statement if it appears **once**, is buried in a
+   factory that returns an interface, and no other switch dispatches on the same
+   type. A second switch over the same enum is the signal to introduce the
+   interface.
+
+Do not restructure a switch purely to satisfy the budget when the cases are one
+line each and self-evident — a flat, boring `switch` over an enum is fine and
+needs no comments at all.
+
+Explanatory comments in tests are welcome — they document the scenario being set
+up, and the 250-character budget does not apply to them.
+
+## Testing
+
+- **Unit tests** live beside the code as `_test.go`. `make test-unit` runs the
+  host-safe set with `-tags devcert` and no sudo.
+- **Privileged tests** carry the `privileged` build tag and mutate host
+  networking. They run through `make test-privileged`, inside a Docker container
+  with `NET_ADMIN`. Never bypass that harness by running them directly on the
+  host.
+- **End-to-end suites** live in `e2e/` with a shared harness.
+- **Test real behavior, not API existence.** Assert on the observable end state
+  a consumer would see — bytes that arrived, the packet after translation, the
+  row after the write — not merely that a method exists or returns an error.
+- **Avoid mocks for code we own.** Exercise the real store, manager, or
+  controller and assert what the caller actually receives.
+- **`require` for setup and preconditions, `assert` for the conditions under
+  test.** Use `require` whenever a later line would panic or be meaningless
+  otherwise.
+- **Message guidance:** optional for `NoError`/`Error`; always give context for
+  comparison, boolean, and collection assertions.
+
+```go
+server, err := StartTestServer()
+require.NoError(t, err, "Test server setup must succeed")
+defer server.Close()
+
+result, err := client.DoOperation()
+assert.NoError(t, err)
+assert.Equal(t, expectedResult, result, "Result should match expected")
+```
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- **The agent runs as root.** Anything touching routing, firewall, DNS, or the
+  interface can take a user's machine off the network. Prefer a reversible
+  change and make sure cleanup runs on every exit path.
+- **Management has two account loaders** (GORM and pgx). Adding a relation to an
+  account often means updating both, or it silently comes back empty in
+  production.
+- **`go test ./...` without `-tags devcert` skips tests** that need the
+  development certificate. Use `make test-unit`.
+- **`make lint` only checks the diff against `origin/main`.** CI runs
+  `make lint-all`; run it too before pushing a large change.
+- **Protos are consumed by released clients.** An old agent must keep working
+  against a new Management, so fields are added, never renumbered or removed.
+- **Windows requires the wintun driver**, and the daemon serves a named pipe
+  (`npipe://netbird`) rather than loopback TCP. Loopback TCP carries no caller
+  identity, so privileged operations are refused over it.
+
+## Commits, PRs, releases
+
+- **PR titles must start with a bracketed tag.** Before you propose a title,
+  **read [`.github/workflows/pr-title-check.yml`](.github/workflows/pr-title-check.yml)
+  and take the allowed tags from the `allowedTags` array in that file.** It is
+  the only source of truth, it changes as components are added, and the check
+  runs on every title edit — a tag that is not in that array is a red build. Do
+  not rely on a list memorized from anywhere else, including this file.
+
+  ```text
+  [client] Authorize daemon IPC callers by their local identity
+  [management,client] Add MDM policy support
+  ```
+
+  Multiple tags are comma-separated inside one pair of brackets. Match the tag
+  to the component you actually changed, not to the one you read the most.
+
+- **Use the repository's PR template.** Fill in
+  [`.github/pull_request_template.md`](.github/pull_request_template.md) rather
+  than replacing it with your own summary: describe the change, link the issue,
+  tick the checklist honestly (including "ran locally" and "single purpose"),
+  and complete the documentation section. Do not tick a box you have not
+  verified, and do not delete rows that do not apply.
+
+- **Keep the PR description short.** Under 1000 words on top of the template's
+  own text, and usually far less — a few paragraphs. Reviewers read the diff;
+  the description exists to explain what the diff cannot say for itself. This is
+  well below what an agent will produce by default, so cut before you post.
+
+- **Body: why before what.** Lead with the problem and the reason for this
+  approach, then the shape of the change. No bullet list of files changed, no
+  per-function walkthrough, no restating the diff in prose, no trailing summary
+  section, no self-congratulatory closing line.
+
+- **No `Co-Authored-By` or tool-attribution trailers in the PR description**,
+  and none in commits either. Contributors own their contributions. Whatever
+  tooling produced the diff, the person opening the PR is its author: they have
+  read every line, they can explain why it works, they can answer review
+  questions without going back to a model, and they are accountable for the
+  consequences of merging it. Do not add a trailer, footer, or description line
+  that spreads that ownership onto a tool.
+
+- **Commit subjects follow the same `[scope] Subject` convention.** Keep the
+  subject short, and use the body for why before what. No bullet lists of files
+  changed.
+
+- **Push review fixes as separate commits.** The PR is squashed on merge, so
+  there is no reason to rewrite history mid-review; many small commits make the
+  re-review readable.
+
+- **Do not force-push a branch that is under review.** A force-push detaches
+  existing review comments from the lines they were written against, destroys
+  the "changes since your last review" diff a reviewer relies on, and discards
+  the CI history that showed which commit broke what. Add commits instead —
+  including for fixups and reverts. Force-push only when there is no
+  alternative: a rebase to clear a genuine conflict, or removing a secret or a
+  large binary that was committed by mistake. When you must, ask the user first,
+  then say so in a PR comment so reviewers know their anchors moved. Never
+  force-push `main`, and never force-push a branch you do not own.
+
+- **One PR, one purpose.** Split refactors out of fixes and fixes out of
+  features.
+
+- **Keep the PR small.** Size is the single strongest predictor of how long a PR
+  waits. Aim for **under ~400 changed lines across under ~20 files**; past
+  roughly **1000 lines or 50 files** a community PR is likely to be sent back to
+  be split, or left unreviewed until it is. Large PRs from outside the core team
+  may be blocked outright when the size was never agreed in the ticket —
+  reviewing a sprawling change against a privileged networking daemon is a
+  security risk in itself, not just a time cost.
+
+  Judge the size by hand-written code: exclude generated output, `go.sum`,
+  vendored files, and test fixtures from the estimate, but do not use their
+  presence to argue a 3000-line PR is small.
+
+  When a change genuinely cannot be small — a protocol migration, a
+  cross-component rename — agree the split in the ticket **before** writing
+  code, and land it as a sequence of PRs that each build, test, and make sense
+  on their own. Propose that split to the user rather than opening one large PR
+  and hoping.
+
+- **User-facing changes need a docs PR** in
+  [netbirdio/docs](https://github.com/netbirdio/docs), linked from the PR
+  description.
+
+## After you push: CI and review bots
+
+Opening the PR is not the end of the task. Watch the run, read what the bots
+say, and drive the PR to green before you report the work as done.
+
+```bash
+gh pr checks <pr>            --watch    # all checks, live
+gh run view <run-id> --log-failed       # only the failing steps
+gh pr view <pr> --comments              # bot and human review comments
+```
+
+**Never report a change as finished while checks are pending or red**, and never
+describe a red PR as passing. If you ran out of turn before CI finished, say
+which checks were still running.
+
+### The checks
+
+- **Go tests** — `golang-test-{linux,darwin,windows,freebsd}.yml`, sharded per
+  component. A failure in a component you did not touch is usually a real
+  interaction, not noise; read the log before assuming flake.
+- **golangci-lint** — `golangci-lint.yml` runs the full repository, while
+  `make lint` only checks your diff. A clean local lint does not guarantee green
+  CI on a large change.
+- **PR Title Check** — `pr-title-check.yml`, see above.
+- **Codecov** — uploaded from the Linux test workflow with per-component flags
+  (`unit,client`, `unit,management`, `unit,relay`, `unit,proxy`, `unit,signal`,
+  `integration,management`). Coverage on new code should not go backwards. Add
+  tests for the paths you introduced; do not adjust thresholds or exclude files
+  to clear the report.
+- **CodeRabbit** — configured in [`.coderabbit.yaml`](.coderabbit.yaml): `chill`
+  profile, auto-review on every non-draft PR, TypeScript/JavaScript/SVG paths
+  filtered out. Chat auto-reply is on, so `@coderabbitai` in a comment reaches
+  it.
+- **SonarCloud** — project `netbirdio_netbird`, quality gate on new code (bugs,
+  vulnerabilities, code smells, duplication, coverage).
+- **Snyk** — dependency and code scanning.
+
+Sonar and Snyk report as GitHub App checks rather than workflows in this
+repository, so their detail lives on the PR check, not in the Actions logs.
+
+### Handling bot findings
+
+- **Read every comment and act on it.** Either fix it, or reply with the reason
+  it does not apply. Do not bulk-resolve threads to clear the count, and do not
+  silently ignore a finding because the check is advisory.
+- **Bots are frequently wrong here.** NetBird has privileged, platform-specific,
+  and concurrency-heavy code that static analysis reads poorly. A confident
+  CodeRabbit or Sonar comment can still be nonsense. Verify the claim against
+  the code before you change anything — never edit correct code just to silence
+  a bot.
+- **Security findings get the opposite default.** For a Snyk or Sonar
+  vulnerability, or a CodeRabbit comment about authentication, authorization,
+  certificate verification, or key handling, assume it is real until you have
+  disproved it. Surface it to the user rather than dismissing it yourself.
+- **A new vulnerable dependency is a stop.** Bumping or replacing dependencies
+  needs the user's decision, as above.
+- **Never change a workflow, threshold, lint exclusion, or bot config to make a
+  check pass.** If a check is genuinely wrong, say so and let the user decide.
+- **Do not paper over flakes with blind re-runs.** Identify the failure first. If
+  it is a known flake, name it; if you cannot tell, report it as unresolved
+  rather than re-running until it goes green.

+### Using AI coding agents
+
+We have no policy for or against using an AI agent to write NetBird code. That
+choice is yours, and we are not going to interrogate anyone about their tools.
+
+What we do have is a lot of incoming contributions that were plainly drafted with
+one, and enough experience reviewing them to see the same avoidable problems
+again and again: no ticket behind the change, a diff far too large to review, a
+description longer than the code it describes, an approach that was never going
+to be accepted, and an author who cannot answer questions about their own PR.
+None of that is caused by the tooling — it is what happens when a tool is pointed
+at a repository whose expectations it has never been told.
+
+So rather than a rule, there is a guide. [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) restates the
+expectations from this document in the form agents read automatically
+(`CLAUDE.md` points to it), so pointing your tool at the repository is usually
+enough. Among other things it tells the agent to ask you for the
+discussion or issue before drafting a PR, to keep the change small and
+single-purpose, to run the tests locally, to use this repository's PR template
+and title tags, and to write a description a reviewer can get through.
+
+The guardrails are the point, and they are the same ones we apply to everyone: an
+agreed ticket, a change you have actually run, a diff small enough to review with
+care, and an author who can explain it. Whatever wrote the diff, you are its
+author — you own every line you submit and the consequences of opening a PR with it.
+
+We may assess whether a contribution is maintainable and whether its merged code
+aligns with our security standards and design expectations.
