Losing the last network only flipped the availability state: the dead management, signal and relay sockets stayed silently connected until their own timeouts, so the client kept reporting Connected with no network at all.
Introduce client/netevents with a Manager that ties the availability state, the connection sweeper and the status recorder together, and move the netstate and netsweep packages under it (netsweep renamed to sweep). SetNetworkAvailable(false) now also sweeps the registered connections so their owners redial and the listener reaches the NoNetwork state.
The Android and iOS bindings own a Manager instance and inject it through the constructors; consumers hold the concrete *Manager whose nil zero value reports always-online and never sweeps, with interfaces kept only as parameter contracts. The relay guard settle wait moved into the Manager as WaitSettled, removing the netevents import from the relay package.
On network changes the client restarted the whole engine. That is heavy-handed and slow: it tears down working state to recover from a transition the engine could handle itself. This replaces the restart with proper network event handling.
Suspend the retry loops while no network is available. Instead of burning through backoff intervals against an unreachable network, the reconnection loops park until the OS reports a usable network again.
Reconnect immediately on a network switch. When the OS hands us a new network, connections bound to the old one are swept and re-dialed right away, rather than waiting for a timeout to notice they are dead.
This PR improves the NetBird client's status checking mechanism by implementing earlier detection of client state changes and better handling of connection lifecycle management. The key improvements focus on:
• Enhanced status detection - Added waitForReady option to StatusRequest for improved client status handling
• Better connection management - Improved context handling for signal and management gRPC connections• Reduced connection timeouts - Increased gRPC dial timeout from 3 to 10 seconds for better reliability
• Cleaner error handling - Enhanced error propagation and context cancellation in retry loops
Key Changes
Core Status Improvements:
- Added waitForReady optional field to StatusRequest proto (daemon.proto:190)
- Enhanced status checking logic to detect client state changes earlier in the connection process
- Improved handling of client permanent exit scenarios from retry loops
Connection & Context Management:
- Fixed context cancellation in management and signal client retry mechanisms
- Added proper context propagation for Login operations
- Enhanced gRPC connection handling with better timeout management
Error Handling & Cleanup:
- Moved feedback channels to upper layers for better separation of concerns
- Improved error handling patterns throughout the client server implementation
- Fixed synchronization issues and removed debug logging
- Move `util/grpc` and `util/net` to `client` so `internal` packages can be accessed
- Add methods to return the next best interface after the NetBird interface.
- Use `IP_UNICAST_IF` sock opt to force the outgoing interface for the NetBird `net.Dialer` and `net.ListenerConfig` to avoid routing loops. The interface is picked by the new route lookup method.
- Some refactoring to avoid import cycles
- Old behavior is available through `NB_USE_LEGACY_ROUTING=true` env var
