The main and Settings windows were created at startup and kept alive hidden on close, so an idle tray held two webview processes for surfaces the user may never open. Both are now built on first show and destroyed on close, which takes the idle footprint on macOS from ~160 MB to ~74 MB.
The WindowManager owns creation: it rebuilds the main window on the next show and hands out live pointers, since a stored one goes stale. Every show is deferred until the frontend reports it has rendered, so a freshly created window is never on screen empty, with a timeout so a frontend that never reports cannot strand a window hidden.
* [client] Pass stored email as login hint from UI and keep it on logout
Follow the CLI pattern: the Wails UI now reads the account email from the
user-owned profile state file and passes it as the OIDC login_hint on login
and session extend, since the daemon-side fallback runs as root and cannot
see the user's state file. Logout no longer deletes the stored email, so a
later login preselects the account at the IdP; profile removal remains the
operation that deletes it.
* [client] Log ignored profile lookup errors in extend-session hint fallback
English (en) is the source of truth for UI translation keys; the other
nine locales rely on runtime English fallback for any missing key, so a
gap never surfaces in CI. Add a dependency-free Node check that fails
when any locale declared in _index.json does not carry the exact same
key set as en (missing or orphaned keys), wired into a dedicated
UI Translations workflow that runs on locale changes.
Also close the one existing gap the check found: ja was missing
daemon.outdated.download ("Download Latest").

## Describe your changes
On SNI hosts that report icon clicks via Activate (KDE Plasma, Waybar),
Wails fired the left-click handler on every dbusmenu 'opened' event, so
a right click opened the tray menu and immediately raised the main
window, which stole focus and closed the menu.
Host Left click Right click
KDE Plasma, Waybar main window (Activate) menu (host-rendered)
GNOME Shell + AppIndicator menu only menu only
Minimal WMs via XEmbed host main window (Activate) XEmbed GTK popup
Point the wails/v3 replace at the netbirdio fork (v3.0.0-beta.3 plus the
fix): once the host has sent Activate/SecondaryActivate, a menu open no
longer fires the click handler, while AppIndicator-only hosts that
signal clicks solely via 'opened' keep the old behavior.

## Describe your changes
After the SSO session expires, the daemon tears the engine down
permanently
(management returns `PermissionDenied` → `runCancel()` → the retry loop
exits
for good). The "Session expired" dialog's Login button still drove the
extend-session flow, which requires a live engine: the user completed
the full
browser SSO + 2FA round trip only to get
`Failed to extend the session — engine is not initialised`, with no way
out
other than quitting and relaunching the client.
Reproduce:
1. Log in on a desktop client with session expiration enabled (e.g. 16h
TTL).
2. Let the session expire (e.g. leave the machine asleep overnight).
3. Wake it, click **Login** on the "Session expired" dialog, complete
SSO + 2FA.
4. The error dialog appears and every retry fails the same way.
Changes:
- The expired branch of the session-expiration dialog now emits
`trigger-login`, driving the full `Login → SSO → Up` sequence that
rebuilds
the client, instead of the extend flow (an expired session can no longer
be
extended).
- `RequestExtendAuthSession` fails fast when the engine is already gone,
so the
browser/2FA round trip is not wasted on a doomed extend.
- The expired tray row navigated the main window to `/#/login`, a route
that
does not exist and fell through to the main page without starting a
login;
it now emits `trigger-login` as well.

## Describe your changes
In unattended installs/updates there may be no logged-in user, so
there's no context to start the GUI (nor anyone to see it).
The bug is the GUI being started in the wrong user context / inheriting
the wrong `$HOME` (OS mechanics aside).
Today the GUI is started by a per-user LaunchAgent, i.e. on behalf of
the user who logs in — no login ⇒ no GUI.
The patch aligns to this: it launches the GUI on behalf of the logged-in
console user if one exists, otherwise it delegates the launch to the
per-user LaunchAgent at next login.
Additionally it logs when default UI settings are applied.
Note (small caveat): the LaunchAgent auto-starts the GUI at login only
once it's been registered — which happens on the first GUI launch in the
user's context. On an MDM/unattended fresh install done with no user
logged in (where the user has never run the GUI before), they may need
to start it manually once; it self-registers from then on.
## Issue ticket number and link

## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved macOS installation and updater UI launching to occur only
when an active, valid GUI console session is detected.
- Prevented UI launches during unattended/system, root, or
login-window-related installs.
- Ensured the app is launched in the correct console-user context, and
skips cleanly when username/UID resolution fails.
- **Improvements**
- Added clearer informational logging when the UI preferences file is
not found and default preferences are used.

## Describe your changes
Three fixes to how the desktop GUI keeps the account email that backs
the SSO `login_hint`. Each is independent and reviewable on its own.
**1. Store the email after a GUI SSO login**
The daemon returns the authenticated user's email from `WaitSSOLogin`
but cannot persist it: it runs as root while the per-profile state file
is user-owned. The CLI's `handleSSOLogin` writes it after its own
`WaitSSOLogin`; the GUI path read the value and dropped it.
The profile was therefore left with no email, so `Profiles.List` showed
no account for it, and later logins and session extends went out with no
`login_hint` — leaving the IdP to pick an account instead of reusing the
one the profile belongs to. Mirror the CLI and store it, next to the
`Logout` path that already clears the same file for the same reason.
**2. File the email against the profile the login ran for**
`SetActiveProfileState` resolves the target itself, so it writes to
whichever profile is active when it is called. A GUI SSO login spans
seconds of user interaction in the browser, and the tray stays clickable
throughout: switching profiles in that window left the email filed under
the profile that happened to be active when the flow returned. The wrong
profile then advertised an account it does not own, and offered it as
the `login_hint` next time.
Adds `SetProfileState(id, state)`, the write-side counterpart of the
existing `GetProfileState(id)`, and keeps `SetActiveProfileState` as a
wrapper for callers with no particular profile in mind. `Login` now
reports the profile it resolved so the frontend can hand it back with
the SSO wait, which closes the window.
**3. Delete the email when a profile is removed**
Removing a profile left its state file behind: the daemon deletes what
it owns, but the email file is user-owned and out of reach for a root
daemon — the same split that already puts the `Logout` cleanup on the UI
side.
Beyond the stray file, legacy profiles are keyed by name rather than by
a generated ID, so recreating a profile under a removed one's name
inherited its email — shown as the account in the profile list and sent
as the `login_hint` on the next login.

## Describe your changes
`applyAutostartDefault` gated all MDM enforcement behind the one-time
`AutostartInitialized` marker, so MDM `disableAutostart` only affected
fresh installs — a policy pushed after autostart had been enabled could
not
revoke the OS login-item.
The PR adds follow-up MDM enforcements at the top of
the function: if at any time MDM sets `disableAutostart=true` and the OS
registration is
present, force `SetEnabled(false)` to align it.
Trade-off: once the admin lifts the policy, autostart stays off until
the user re-toggles
in Settings — consistent with "MDM always wins" behavior of the other
managed keys.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **New Features**
- Added an administrative policy to disable client autostart (“Disable
Autostart”).
- Added support for configuring this policy via macOS MDM, Windows Group
Policy (ADMX/ADML), and registry settings.
- When enforced, the client prevents new autostart registration on fresh
installs and removes existing autostart on the next GUI launch, keeping
it disabled until the policy is lifted.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved enforcement logic for managed autostart defaults so policy
state is applied consistently during startup and first-run setup.

* **Bug Fixes**
* SSO browser-login popups now open centered on the display where the
cursor is located, and they recenter correctly on subsequent opens.
* Programmatic cleanup no longer triggers “login canceled” behavior;
cancel is emitted only when the user closes the active popup.
* **New Features**
* Added a streamlined “close renewal flow” action that tears down the
session-renewal UI by closing both the login and session-expiration
popups.

## Describe your changes
Adds a Japanese (ja) locale for the desktop UI, following the procedure
in `client/ui/i18n/TRANSLATING.md`.
- New `client/ui/i18n/locales/ja/common.json` — all 441 keys from the
`en` source bundle, `message` only, same key order.
- Registered in `client/ui/i18n/locales/_index.json`: `{"code": "ja",
"displayName": "日本語", "englishName": "Japanese"}`.
Translation notes:
- Placeholders (`{version}`, `{count}`, `{name}`, `{remaining}`, ...),
`\n`, trailing `…`/`...`, the leading space in
`notify.update.enforcedSuffix`, and the `<docs>…</docs>` inline-link
tags are all preserved verbatim.
- Brands kept as-is: NetBird, WireGuard® (® preserved), Rosenpass,
GitHub, NetBird Cloud. Acronyms kept: SSO, DNS, IP/IPv6, ACL, SSH, JWT,
TTL, SFTP, MTU, PSK, LAN, P2P, ICE, IdP.
- Formal register (です・ます); short labels for buttons/tray; quoted UI
labels use Japanese brackets 「」.
No code changes are required: the React frontend auto-loads every
`locales/*/common.json` via `import.meta.glob`, the tray/Go side embeds
the tree via `//go:embed all:i18n/locales`, and the language picker
lists whatever `_index.json` declares.
### Verification
- `go test ./client/ui/i18n/` passes.
- JSON valid; key set and order identical to `en`; no `description`
fields; no empty messages; placeholder/`\n` counts match `en`.
- Built the Windows UI and confirmed the General, Network, Security, and
Troubleshooting settings tabs plus the main window render correctly in
Japanese (language picker shows "日本語 (Japanese)"), with no text
truncation, overflow, or leaked placeholders.

* [client] Add autostart preference marker and MDM disableAutostart key
Adds the autostartInitialized marker to the Wails UI preferences store so
the one-time autostart default decision can persist per OS user, and a
UI-only disableAutostart MDM policy key that suppresses the default and
flows into GetConfigResponse.mDMManagedFields like disableAutoConnect.
* [client] Enable launch-on-login by default on fresh GUI installs
On the first interactive run the GUI persists the autostartInitialized
marker before any enable attempt, then enables autostart only when the
platform supports it, MDM policy does not disable it, the process was not
relaunched by an installer/updater (--post-update), and the installer's
fresh-install breadcrumb is present. Upgrading users have no breadcrumb,
so an update can never write login items, and a user's disable in
Settings is never overridden.
* [release] Write fresh-install breadcrumb from installers
Installers write a .fresh-install breadcrumb on fresh installs only and
delete stale breadcrumbs on upgrade; none of them writes login items or
registry Run keys. Windows NSIS detects upgrades via the uninstall
registry entry or an existing installed executable; the macOS pkg via the
previous pkgutil receipt; Linux deb/rpm via the standard postinstall
arguments. Post-update GUI relaunches (macOS open, Linux
ui-post-install.sh) pass --post-update so the first-run autostart default
cannot fire on updates.
* Revert installer breadcrumb changes
The real Windows installer does uninstall-then-install and deletes
$INSTDIR, so a breadcrumb written there cannot survive or discriminate
a fresh install from an upgrade. Restore the three installer files to
their main versions; no installer or updater writes an autostart entry.
* Detect fresh install from NetBird footprint instead of installer breadcrumb
Replace the installer-written breadcrumb discriminator with a GUI-side
check. netbirdFootprintExists inspects the daemon config/state files
(default.json, legacy config.json, state.json) under profilemanager's
default config dir; combined with whether the UI preferences file already
existed, this tells a genuinely fresh machine from an existing or
upgrading user. Only the signed GUI, via Wails, ever enables
launch-on-login, and a user's later manual disable is never overridden.
The preferences store now exposes ExistedAtLoad and the --post-update
flag is dropped.
* Update tests for footprint-based autostart default
Table tests for shouldEnableAutostartDefault now cover supported,
mdmDisabled, and priorInstall guards plus precedence; breadcrumb and
post-update cases are removed. Add a store test asserting ExistedAtLoad
is false with no file and true after persisting and reopening.
* [client] Bring the connection up in Go after SSO login
The post-login Up ran as a frontend promise continuation after WaitSSOLogin
resolved. During SSO the tray window is hidden and the webview is suspended
(macOS App Nap / hidden-window timer throttling), so that continuation didn't
run until the user woke the window (e.g. hovering the tray icon), leaving the
client not connected for a long time. Combine WaitSSOLogin and Up in a single
Go method so the daemon connects the moment SSO completes, independent of
webview state. The frontend no longer issues a separate Up on the SSO path.
* [client] unexport waitSSOLogin and move below exported methods
Users reported long delays between finishing browser authentication and
the client connecting. Logs could not attribute the time: the PKCE and
device flows were silent between issuing the auth URL and returning the
token, and nothing recorded when the GUI issued the Up request after
WaitSSOLogin completed.
Add log lines covering the full chain: PKCE callback arrival and token
exchange duration, device-flow polling and approval timing, GUI-side
brackets around WaitSSOLogin and Up, daemon-side Up arrival and
WaitSSOLogin return, and a frontend stall detector that reports when
webview timers were suspended (macOS App Nap / hidden-window
throttling), which delays the WaitSSOLogin-to-Up handoff.
- **Wails v3 application** (`client/ui`) with a React + TypeScript + Tailwind frontend replacing the Fyne UI: main connection view, exit-node switcher, networks/peers browser with detail panels, profile management, settings (general, network, SSH, security, troubleshooting, appearance), debug-bundle creation, and a first-run welcome flow.
- **Internationalization**: go-i18n bundle with 9 locales (en, de, es, fr, hu, it, pt, ru, zh-CN) shared between the tray and the frontend.
- **New system tray** implementation with per-platform theme-aware icons, including a native XEmbed host for Linux (`xembed_tray_linux.c`) and a Linux theme watcher.
- **Session handling**: auth session watcher (`client/internal/auth/sessionwatch`), pending login flow, session-expiration dialog and tray notifications, and `netbird login` improvements.
- **Daemon API extensions** (`daemon.proto`): status stream subscription, event stream, networks/exit-node selection endpoints, and richer full status — with probe throttling on the daemon side to protect against UI-driven request storms.
- **UI preferences store** persisted per profile, autostart management via the daemon (single source of truth in HKCU on Windows).
- **Build system**: Taskfile-based builds per platform (macOS, Linux, Windows), Docker cross-compilation images, MSIX/NSIS/nfpm/AppImage packaging, and a new `frontend-ui` CI workflow.
