Subject: [PATCH 03/25] [client] Fix WGIface.Close deadlock when DNS filter
 hook re-enters GetDevice (#5916)

WGIface.Close() took w.mu and held it across w.tun.Close(). The
underlying wireguard-go device waits for its send/receive goroutines to
drain before Close() returns, and some of those goroutines re-enter
WGIface during shutdown. In particular, the userspace packet filter DNS
hook in client/internal/dns.ServiceViaMemory.filterDNSTraffic calls
s.wgInterface.GetDevice() on every packet, which also needs w.mu. With
the Close-side holding the mutex, the read goroutine blocks in
GetDevice and Close waits forever for that goroutine to exit:

  goroutine N (TestDNSPermanent_updateUpstream):
    WGIface.Close -> holds w.mu -> tun.Close -> sync.WaitGroup.Wait
  goroutine M (wireguard read routine):
    FilteredDevice.Read -> filterOutbound -> udpHooksDrop ->
    filterDNSTraffic.func1 -> WGIface.GetDevice -> sync.Mutex.Lock

This surfaces as a 5 minute test timeout on the macOS Client/Unit
CI job (panic: test timed out after 5m0s, running tests:
TestDNSPermanent_updateUpstream).

Release w.mu before calling w.tun.Close(). The other Close steps
(wgProxyFactory.Free, waitUntilRemoved, Destroy) do not mutate any
fields guarded by w.mu beyond what Free() already does, so the lock
is not needed once the tun has started shutting down. A new unit test
in iface_close_test.go uses a fake WGTunDevice to reproduce the
deadlock deterministically without requiring CAP_NET_ADMIN.

Subject: [PATCH 05/25] [client] fix ios network addresses mac filter (#5906)

* fix(client): skip MAC address filter for network addresses on iOS

iOS does not expose hardware (MAC) addresses due to Apple's privacy
restrictions (since iOS 14), causing networkAddresses() to return an
empty list because all interfaces are filtered out by the HardwareAddr
check. Move networkAddresses() to platform-specific files so iOS can
skip this filter.

Subject: [PATCH 08/25] [client] Supress ICE signaling (#5820)

* [client] Suppress ICE signaling and periodic offers in force-relay mode

When NB_FORCE_RELAY is enabled, skip WorkerICE creation entirely,
suppress ICE credentials in offer/answer messages, disable the
periodic ICE candidate monitor, and fix isConnectedOnAllWay to
only check relay status so the guard stops sending unnecessary offers.

* [client] Dynamically suppress ICE based on remote peer's offer credentials

Track whether the remote peer includes ICE credentials in its
offers/answers. When remote stops sending ICE credentials, skip
ICE listener dispatch, suppress ICE credentials in responses, and
exclude ICE from the guard connectivity check. When remote resumes
sending ICE credentials, re-enable all ICE behavior.

* [client] Fix nil SessionID panic and force ICE teardown on relay-only transition

Fix nil pointer dereference in signalOfferAnswer when SessionID is nil
(relay-only offers). Close stale ICE agent immediately when remote peer
stops sending ICE credentials to avoid traffic black-hole during the
ICE disconnect timeout.

* [client] Add relay-only fallback check when ICE is unavailable

Ensure the relay connection is supported with the peer when ICE is disabled to prevent connectivity issues.

* [client] Add tri-state connection status to guard for smarter ICE retry (#5828)

* [client] Add tri-state connection status to guard for smarter ICE retry

Refactor isConnectedOnAllWay to return a ConnStatus enum (Connected,
Disconnected, PartiallyConnected) instead of a boolean. When relay is
up but ICE is not (PartiallyConnected), limit ICE offers to 3 retries
with exponential backoff then fall back to hourly attempts, reducing
unnecessary signaling traffic. Fully disconnected peers continue to
retry aggressively. External events (relay/ICE disconnect, signal/relay
reconnect) reset retry state to give ICE a fresh chance.

* [client] Clarify guard ICE retry state and trace log trigger

Split iceRetryState.attempt into shouldRetry (pure predicate) and
enterHourlyMode (explicit state transition) so the caller in
reconnectLoopWithRetry reads top-to-bottom. Restore the original
trace-log behavior in isConnectedOnAllWay so it only logs on full
disconnection, not on the new PartiallyConnected state.

* [client] Extract pure evalConnStatus and add unit tests

Split isConnectedOnAllWay into a thin method that snapshots state and
a pure evalConnStatus helper that takes a connStatusInputs struct, so
the tri-state decision logic can be exercised without constructing
full Worker or Handshaker objects. Add table-driven tests covering
force-relay, ICE-unavailable and fully-available code paths, plus
unit tests for iceRetryState budget/hourly transitions and reset.

* [client] Improve grammar in logs and refactor ICE credential checks

Subject: [PATCH 12/25] [client] allow UDP packet loss in
 TestICEBind_HandlesConcurrentMixedTraffic (#5953)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The test writes 500 packets per family and asserted exact-count
delivery within a 5s window, even though its own comment says "Some
packet loss is acceptable for UDP". On FreeBSD/QEMU runners the writer
loops cannot always finish all 500 before the 5s deadline closes the
readers (we have seen 411/500 in CI).

The real assertion of this test is the routing check — IPv4 peer only
gets v4- packets, IPv6 peer only gets v6- packets — which remains
strict. Replace the exact-count assertions with a >=80% delivery
threshold so runner speed variance no longer causes false failures.

Subject: [PATCH 13/25] [flow] fix goroutine leak in
 TestReceive_ProtocolErrorStreamReconnect (#5951)

The Receive goroutine could outlive the test and call t.Logf after
teardown, panicking with "Log in goroutine after ... has completed".
Register a cleanup that waits for the goroutine to exit; ordering is
LIFO so it runs after client.Close, which is what unblocks Receive.

Subject: [PATCH 14/25] [client] fix port collision in TestUpload (#5950)

* [debug] fix port collision in TestUpload

TestUpload hardcoded :8080, so it failed deterministically when anything
was already on that port and collided across concurrent test runs.
Bind a :0 listener in the test to get a kernel-assigned free port, and
add Server.Serve so tests can hand the listener in without reaching
into unexported state.

* [debug] drop test-only Server.Serve, use SERVER_ADDRESS env

The previous commit added a Server.Serve method on the upload-server,
used only by TestUpload. That left production with an unused function.
Reserve an ephemeral loopback port in the test, release it, and pass
the address through SERVER_ADDRESS (which the server already reads).
A small wait helper ensures the server is accepting connections before
the upload runs, so the close/rebind gap does not cause a false failure.

 (#5961)

Bump the IsHealthy() context timeout from 1s to 5s for both the
management and signal gRPC clients to reduce false negatives on
slower or congested connections.

Subject: [PATCH 22/25] [management] unify peer-update test timeout via
 constant (#5952)

peerShouldReceiveUpdate waited 500ms for the expected update message,
and every outer wrapper across the management/server test suite paired
it with a 1s goroutine-drain timeout. Both were too tight for slower
CI runners (MySQL, FreeBSD, loaded sqlite), producing intermittent
"Timed out waiting for update message" failures in tests like
TestDNSAccountPeersUpdate, TestPeerAccountPeersUpdate, and
TestNameServerAccountPeersUpdate.

Introduce peerUpdateTimeout (5s) next to the helper and use it both in
the helper and in every outer wrapper so the two timeouts stay in sync.
Only runs down on failure; passing tests return as soon as the channel
delivers, so there is no slowdown on green runs.
