- **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.

* Add events to resync UI to actual config
This also provide fixup for UI no aligning to changed config when coming from cli up with config flags.
* UI behavior conflicts relaxation
UI sends full config snapshot with all values. It doesn't
make sense to block it if the values are aligned with the
values constrained by the MDM policy. It's just simplier
to allow values that are compliant. (this goes for the CLI
as well at this point)
* Lock toggle Settngs
* Advanced Settings locking
* Fixup presharedkey
* Apply MDM locks
* Toggle gray in/out for Advanced Settings
* Adds support for disabling of Profiles and UpdateSettings feature flags
* Adds Gate Login as well when --disable-update-settings=true is given to service
This commit tries to settle things with an old PR-4237 which had relaxed
the case where the SetConfig returned an `Unavailable` code error.
Under this circumnstance the PR allowed the upFunc to just emit a warning and
progress further with the login gRPC. Since the login call is consuming
the --management-url coming from the `up` command, it might be possible
to abuse the "Unavailable" code to inject a management URL that is different
from the configured one even though the --disable-update-settings is set
to true (?)
* Evaluate disable-update-settings errors only when there's an actual override
* [UI] Fixup advanced Settings
* [UI] Fixup for preshared key
* [UI] Fixup for profile enable/disable toggle
We need to align the initial state to evaluate the delta in case.
The initial state has to be "true" since the profile starts visible.
Then we receive MDM and transition the cache bool value to the actual
MDM imposed state
* Enforces disable networks
* [UI] Aligns to "enable/disable once on change only"
* Fixup: MDM wins. always

* Fixes Rosenpass left disable after MDM unlock
* Partial revert coderabbit added docstrings
* Renaming fix
* Avoid locking on clientRunning bool when the connection is aborted for whatever reason
We want to just signal this through the giveUpChan, we will manage the signal from
the waiter side and in case set it to false there. THis way we avoid locking,
which should allow the MDM down+wait_for_term_chan_signal_+up procedure
clientRunning is used to signal two different conditions here:
1. the initialization procedure is over (we have an engine)
2. the connection being up (or being attempted)
Probably these two functionalities should not alias, and the failure of the second condition
(because of any error) should just drive a reconnection (currently it's not happening,
and we silently go idle).
OR, mor probably, the two things are the SAME and there should not exist a case where
we did the "Up" initialization and connection attempt but we are not still attempting it.
* Moves test helper at te very bottom
* Addresses github comments
* No lock no copy
* Prevents engine not stopping within 10 secs from being paired by another instance
We instead juts SKIP updating the policy, so
1. the MDM ticker will kick in 1 minute time,
2. find the policy misaligned,
3. enter the onMDMPolicyChange,
4. find the s.clientRunning == true
(because it is set to false only in server cleanupConnection,
and not by s.actCancel())
5. call s.actCancel() again if not nil
6. immediately return from <-s.clientGiveUpChan
7. finally call s.restartEngineForMDMLocked()
* Since we ARE running there should be a config
If the config was cancelled midflight, connect will abort later on
* DisableAutoConnect should not stop a running connection.
DisableAutoConnect should just avoid the connection attempts *when the service starts*.
If we are started and we are up and running, DisableAutoConnect should not kick in.
Another PR will follow about this topic
* Removes unused vars
* Moves callback into Run method arg
* align comment to removal of DisableAutoConnect
DisableAutoConnect should just avoid the connection attempts *when the service starts*.
If we are started and we are up and running, DisableAutoConnect should not kick in
* Removes unused managed_fields data.
This was initially used to drive the UI but approach changed
to reload config/features upon notifications which makes this data redundant.
* Reorder stuff
* Unexport unrequired vars/functions
PoliciesEqual → policiesEqual
AllKeys → allKeys
* Adds list of MDM managed fields in the debug bundle
* Adds heuristic to detect an edge case on Linux where a system has configured logrotate as a separate service to rotate log files which would mangle our client log files. If we detect logrotate being configured for netbird, we disable our rotation.
* Adds new env var to disable log rotation: NB_LOG_DISABLE_ROTATION
* Adds compressed and plain logrotate files to debug bundle.
* Replaces lumberjack with timberjack (maintained fork with bug fixes and extra features).
* Clarifies which daemon version is running in the bundle stats.
* Change logging for client service status to console
* client/ui: fix Exit Node submenu separator accumulation on Windows
On Windows the tray uses a background poller (every 10s) instead of
TrayOpenedCh to keep the Exit Node menu fresh. Each poll that has a
selected exit node called s.mExitNode.AddSeparator() before the
"Deselect All" item. Because AddSeparator() returns no handle the
separator was never removed in the cleanup pass of
recreateExitNodeMenu(), while every other item (exit node checkboxes
and the "Deselect All" entry) was properly tracked and removed.
After the client has been running for a while with an exit node
selected this leaves hundreds of separator lines stacked in the
submenu, filling the screen height with blank entries (#4702).
On Linux/FreeBSD this is masked because the parent mExitNode item
itself is removed and recreated each cycle, wiping all children
including orphaned separators.
Fix: replace the untracked AddSeparator() call with a regular disabled
sub-menu item that is stored in mExitNodeSeparator and removed at the
start of each recreateExitNodeMenu() call alongside mExitNodeDeselectAll.
Fixes#4702
* client/ui: extract addExitNodeDeselectAll to reduce cognitive complexity
Move the separator + deselect-all creation and its goroutine listener
out of recreateExitNodeMenu into a dedicated helper, bringing the
function's cognitive complexity back under the SonarCloud threshold.
Auto-update logic moved out of the UI into a dedicated updatemanager.Manager service that runs in the connection layer. The
UI no longer polls or checks for updates independently.
The update manager supports three modes driven by the management server's auto-update policy:
No policy set by mgm: checks GitHub for the latest version and notifies the user (previous behavior, now centralized)
mgm enforces update: the "About" menu triggers installation directly instead of just downloading the file — user still initiates the action
mgm forces update: installation proceeds automatically without user interaction
updateManager lifecycle is now owned by daemon, giving the daemon server direct control via a new TriggerUpdate RPC
Introduces EngineServices struct to group external service dependencies passed to NewEngine, reducing its argument count from 11 to 4
* [client] Fix exit node menu not refreshing on Windows
TrayOpenedCh is not implemented in the systray library on Windows,
so exit nodes were never refreshed after the initial connect. Combined
with the management sync not having populated routes yet when the
Connected status fires, this caused the exit node menu to remain empty
permanently after disconnect/reconnect cycles.
Add a background poller on Windows that refreshes exit nodes while
connected, with fast initial polling to catch routes from management
sync followed by a steady 10s interval. On macOS/Linux, TrayOpenedCh
continues to handle refreshes on each tray open.
Also fix a data race on connectClient assignment in the server's connect()
method and add nil checks in CleanState/DeleteState to prevent panics
when connectClient is nil.
* Remove unused exitNodeIDs
* Remove unused exitNodeState struct
The UI can get stuck showing "Connecting" status even after the daemon successfully connects and reports "Connected" status. This occurs because the condition to update the UI to "Connected" state checks the wrong flag.
The Fyne framework does not support TTC font files.
Use the default system font (Segoe UI) instead, so Windows can
automatically fall back to a Japanese font when needed.
Adds a new NotifyOSLifecycle RPC and server handler to centralize OS sleep/wake handling, introduces Server.sleepTriggeredDown for coordination, updates client UI to call the new RPC, and adjusts the internal sleep event enum zero-value semantics.
A macOS-specific sleep detection mechanism using IOKit and CoreFoundation via cgo is introduced, with a fallback implementation for unsupported platforms. A public Service wrapper provides an event-driven API translating system sleep/wake events into gRPC calls. The UI client integrates sleep detection to manage connectivity state based on system sleep status.

* Add support for disabling profiles feature via command line flag
* Add profiles disabling flag to service command
* Refactor profile menu initialization and enhance error notifications in event handlers
This will allow running netbird commands (including debugging) against the daemon and provide a flow similar to non-container usages.
It will by default both log to file and stderr so it can be handled more uniformly in container-native environments.
