Linux now shows monochrome (black/white silhouette) tray icons instead
of the colored orange PNGs, matching the macOS template look. Since
Wails' Linux SNI backend ignores SetDarkModeIcon (its setDarkModeIcon
just calls setIcon, last-write-wins) and the SNI spec carries no panel
light/dark hint, the panel color scheme is detected in-process and the
black-vs-white silhouette is chosen in iconForState, pushed via a single
SetIcon.
Detection order (tray_theme_linux.go): freedesktop Settings portal
(org.freedesktop.appearance/color-scheme) -> GTK_THEME env (:dark
suffix) -> default dark. A SettingChanged subscription repaints live on
theme flips. macOS (template) and Windows (colored) paths are unchanged.
Icons are 48x48 mono PNGs (3% margin) generated from the macOS
silhouettes.
WebKitGTK crashes at startup when its bubblewrap sandbox can't create an
unprivileged user namespace (bwrap: setting up uid map: Permission denied
-> Failed to fully launch dbus-proxy -> panic in webkit_web_view_load_uri).
This happens in containers/VMs and on Ubuntu 24.04+ where AppArmor
restricts unprivileged user namespaces. Detect that the kernel blocks
userns via procfs and set WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS so the
UI stays usable; honor an explicit user override either way.
A native Windows MessageBox attached to a parent window disables that
window (WS_DISABLED) for its lifetime and re-enables it on dismissal.
When the parent is the main window — whose WindowClosing hook hides
instead of closes — the enable/hide sequence races and leaves the window
unable to process its close (X) button afterwards, so e.g. a rejected
login error dialog left the main window stuck open.
Route all native dialogs through src/lib/dialogs.ts, which forces
Detached: true on Windows (NULL owner, no window ever disabled) and is a
no-op on macOS/Linux (keeps the attached sheet-style presentation).
Win32 swallows a lone & in an MFT_STRING menu item as the mnemonic
prefix, so "Help & Support" rendered as "Help Support". Add a
build-tagged menuLabel() helper that doubles & to && on Windows and is
the identity on macOS/Linux (which render & literally), and apply it to
the About submenu label.
Wire the Windows systray's double-click to ShowWindow(), matching the
Windows-native convention for tray apps. The Wails v3 systray dispatches
WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK to the doubleClickHandler, so OnDoubleClick fires; left-
and right-click continue to open the menu. macOS/Linux are unchanged.
Two follow-ups to the "hold NeedsLogin during the SSO browser wait" change.
Both target the visible state churn the tray showed during the auto-login
handoff (Connect / profile-switch lands on NeedsLogin -> the UI's startLogin
kicks off the SSO flow) and the broken recovery after the user dismisses the
browser-login popup with the window's X.
Background
----------
When a connect attempt lands on NeedsLogin, the UI's startLogin() drives the
SSO flow: Connection.Login() -> (NeedsSSOLogin) open the browser-login popup
-> Connection.WaitSSOLogin() blocks until the browser leg completes. The tray
and the React status page both paint the raw daemon status, so any transient
state the daemon publishes during this handoff is visible as a flicker.
Previously the handoff churned the daemon status through
NeedsLogin -> Idle -> Connecting -> NeedsLogin
which read as a flicker on the tray icon and the status dot. Two distinct
sources produced the two intermediate states:
* Idle came from the UI's defensive cli.Down() at the top of
Connection.Login (services/connection.go): it tore the engine
down before every login to dislodge a possibly-parked
WaitSSOLogin, emitting a StatusIdle on the way.
* Connecting came from server.go Login() unconditionally setting
StatusConnecting before deciding whether the request is an
SSO flow (which immediately returns NeedsLogin) or a
setup-key flow (which actually dials Management).
Changes
-------
1. server.go Login(): only set StatusConnecting on the setup-key path, where
we are about to dial Management with the key and the Connecting paint is
meaningful. The SSO path returns NeedsLogin and parks on the browser leg,
so it no longer flashes Connecting first. Removes the Connecting blip.
2. services/connection.go Login(): drop the pre-Login cli.Down(). The daemon
already dislodges a pending WaitSSOLogin at Login entry (actCancel), and an
abandoned browser leg is now torn down by cancelling the WaitSSOLogin RPC
(see 3/4). Removing the Down removes the Idle blip on every login.
3. MainConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx startLogin(): on cancel (the browser-login
popup's Cancel button or its window X, both routed through
EventBrowserLoginCancel), cancel the in-flight WaitSSOLogin gRPC call via
waitPromise.cancel() instead of issuing a heavy Connection.Down(). The
daemon ties the wait to this call's context, so cancelling the call ends
the wait cleanly with no engine teardown and no Idle paint.
4. server.go WaitSSOLogin(): when the wait unblocks with context.Canceled and
the cancellation came from our caller (callerCtx.Err() != nil — the client
cancelled the RPC or went away), clear the cached oauthAuthFlow so a fresh
Login starts a new device code instead of reusing the abandoned one. The
entry NeedsLogin stays in place, so a reattaching client still shows the
login affordance. An internal abort (actCancel fired by a newer
Login/WaitSSOLogin while our callerCtx is still live) is left untouched so
the new owner's flow is not clobbered.
Effect
------
The auto-login handoff now goes Connected -> Connecting -> NeedsLogin and
holds, with no Idle/Connecting flicker in between. Dismissing the browser-login
popup with X now recovers the same way as the Cancel button: the WaitSSOLogin
RPC is cancelled, the stale OAuth flow is cleared, and the next connect opens a
fresh browser-login window instead of getting stuck.
StatusLabel only mapped Idle and DaemonUnavailable, so Connected,
Connecting, NeedsLogin, LoginFailed and SessionExpired leaked the raw
daemon enum into the tray menu — untranslated in de/hu. Map all five to
tray.status.* keys (added in en/de/hu); keep the raw-enum default as a
fallback for any future status.
Add a second, longer-lived switchLoginWatch flag alongside switchInProgress
in DaemonFeed. Suppression still clears on the first Connecting push from the
new Up, but the login watcher survives past it to catch the eventual
NeedsLogin / LoginFailed / SessionExpired terminal and emit EventTriggerLogin,
so the React orchestrator opens the browser-login flow without a second
Connect click. shouldSuppress becomes consumeForSwitch, returning both the
suppress and triggerLogin signals. CancelProfileSwitch disarms the watch so
an aborted switch does not pop a login window.
Add an Autostart Wails service wrapping app.Autostart and a toggle in
the General settings tab. The OS login-item registration is the single
source of truth (nothing mirrored to the preferences file). Affects the
graphical UI only, not the daemon. The toggle hides itself on platforms
where autostart is unsupported.
Without an explicit authorization request the macOS notification center
keeps the app at .notDetermined and silently drops every toast. Request
it from the ApplicationStarted hook (after the notifier's Startup has
initialised the delegate), off the main goroutine since the call blocks
until the user responds. Linux/Windows notifier stubs report authorized,
so this is a no-op there.
Wails v3 does not auto-show the tray menu on left-click on Windows — its
default left-click handler only logs and does nothing visible, so only
right-click opened the menu. macOS (NSStatusItem) and Linux
(StatusNotifierItem host) give us click→menu natively.
Add a build-tag-split bindTrayClick: the Windows variant wires
OnClick→OpenMenu (the same menu.ShowAt path right-click uses), while the
macOS/Linux variant stays a no-op — binding OnClick→OpenMenu on macOS
freezes the tray via NSStatusItem's blocking mouseDown on the main GCD
queue (the reason commit c77e5cef8 reverted the earlier wiring).
Extract parseFlagsAndInitLog, newApplication, buildI18n, registerServices,
and newMainWindow so main() stays under the 100-line limit. Wiring order and
shared service instances are unchanged.
Move the event backoff op body into subscribeAndStreamEvents and the
per-event fan-out into dispatchSystemEvent, bringing toastStreamLoop under
the 20 cognitive-complexity limit. No behavior change.
Explain that macOS/Windows have a native tray and the SNI+XEmbed bridge is
Linux-WM-only, so the body is intentionally empty to let main.go call it
unconditionally across all build targets.
Move the status backoff op closure body into a method so the nested
closure no longer carries the stream loop and its conditionals, bringing
statusStreamLoop under the 20 cognitive-complexity limit. No behavior change.
Extract helpers to bring three methods under the 20 cognitive-complexity
limit without changing behavior:
- DaemonFeed.statusStreamLoop: split out handleStatusRecvErr and emitStatus
- Tray.applyStatus: split out consumePendingConnectLogin and
refreshMenuItemsForStatus
- xembedHost.flattenMenu: split out menuItemFromLayout plus propString /
propBool / propInt32 dbusmenu property accessors
Missed in the previous commit. The StatusContext is the only frontend
consumer of the renamed service (the modules/main/.../peers/Peers.tsx
React component is a different identifier — unchanged).
The build/config.yml that wails3 init scaffolded shipped with 'My Company',
'My Product', 'com.mycompany.myproduct' and '(c) 2025, My Company' template
defaults. The per-platform assets generated from it (Info.plist,
Info.dev.plist, info.json, nsis/wails_tools.nsh) carried the same strings,
which were visible in macOS Finder Get Info, Windows .exe Properties and
the NSIS installer.
Updated to the NetBird identity used by the legacy Fyne UI on main:
- companyName / copyright -> 'NetBird GmbH' (matches main release.yml's
COPYRIGHT env passed to goversioninfo)
- productName -> 'NetBird'
- productIdentifier -> 'io.netbird.client' (matches CFBundleIdentifier)
- description -> 'NetBird desktop client'
- darwin NSHumanReadableCopyright -> 'NetBird GmbH'
- windows LegalCopyright -> 'NetBird GmbH'
- nsis INFO_COPYRIGHT -> 'NetBird GmbH'
Version fields (0.0.1) are left in place: release builds get the real
version via goversioninfo (Windows) and sign-pipelines (macOS .app),
so the placeholder is only visible in local task package / task run
output and doesn't reach release artifacts.
The 1542-line tray.go grew into a 14-feature kitchen sink. Split it
into feature-coherent same-package siblings, give the daemon-stream
service a name that matches what it actually does, and trim the
cargo-cult context.WithCancel pattern from click handlers.
File layout (tray.go: 1542 → ~470 lines):
- tray_status.go onStatusEvent / applyStatus / status indicator
- tray_icon.go applyIcon / iconForState (tray icon painting)
- tray_events.go onSystemEvent + eventTitle / titleCase, plus a
shouldSkipSystemEvent helper that names the
three "daemon notification we don't surface"
filters
- tray_session.go session-expiry row + warning notification flow +
handleSessionExpired (moved from tray.go)
- tray_profiles.go loadConfig / loadProfiles / switchProfile
- tray_exitnodes.go exit-node submenu (rebuild / refresh / toggle)
Mutex split: the kitchen-sink t.mu becomes four domain-scoped mutexes
so a long-running gRPC call in one domain can't block status-push
readers in another:
- statusMu connected / lastStatus / lastDaemonVersion /
lastNetworksRevision / pendingConnectLogin
- sessionMu sessionExpiresAt (read by the 30s ticker,
written by applySessionExpiry on every status push)
- profileMu activeProfile / activeUsername /
notificationsEnabled / switchCancel
- exitNodesMu row cache (read in reapplyMenuState's Repaint copy)
- exitNodesRebuildMu serialises ListNetworks + submenu rebuild +
SetMenu (already separate, kept)
Service rename: the "Peers" service handled the daemon's full
SubscribeStatus snapshot (peers, daemon version, management/signal
link state, networks revision, SSO deadline) plus the SubscribeEvents
notification stream and the profile-switch suppression filter. Peers
was a misleading name for a daemon-stream fan-out service. Rename to
DaemonFeed in services/, profileswitcher's stored reference, the
TrayServices struct, main.go wiring, and every doc comment that
referenced it. peers.go → daemon_feed.go. The Status.Peers field
itself (the peer list in the snapshot) is unchanged.
Event constant renames (wire strings unchanged so the frontend keeps
working without regenerating bindings beyond the rename):
- EventStatus → EventStatusSnapshot
Payload is a full Status struct (daemon-wide snapshot), not just
a state-change ping — name the value-shape.
- EventSystem → EventDaemonNotification
Payload is a daemon SystemEvent meant to drive an OS toast or a
Recent Events row. "System" was too generic; "Notification"
matches what consumers do with it.
Concurrency fixes:
- WaitExtendAuthSession now preempts a previous in-flight wait
via the existing SetWaitCancel/CancelWait infrastructure on
PendingFlow, the same pattern WaitSSOLogin uses. The previous
waiter exits with codes.Canceled; the authsession service
translates that to ExtendResult{Preempted: true} so the tray
and the about-to-expire dialog stay silent on the losing flow
instead of showing a false-failure toast. Without this, both
a tray "Extend now" click and a dialog "Stay connected" click
on the same deadline started two parallel IdP polls, and
whichever lost the device-code check painted a bogus error.
- mgmClient.ExtendAuthSession drops the dead backoff retry loop.
The loop only retried on codes.Canceled, but the inner mgmCtx
was derived from context.Background() and never cancelled, so
every real error went straight to backoff.Permanent on the
first attempt. Replace with a single
context.WithTimeout(c.ctx, ConnectTimeout) call; daemon
shutdown now interrupts the RPC and behaviour on real errors
is unchanged.
Click-handler hygiene: six call sites used the cargo-cult
context.WithCancel(context.Background()) + defer cancel() pattern
without ever calling cancel() externally. Replace with
context.Background() directly (loadConfig, loadProfiles,
runExtendSession, dismissSessionWarning, handleConnect's Up,
handleDisconnect's Down). The one site that genuinely needs the
cancel — switchProfile, which stores it in t.switchCancel so
handleDisconnect can preempt the switch — keeps WithCancel.
Helper extraction: shouldSkipSystemEvent groups the three
"daemon notification we drop on the floor" checks
(new_version_available metadata, progress_window metadata, the
::/0 partner of an exit-node default-route event) behind a single
named predicate. Each had a comment explaining why; collecting
them moves the rationale into the helper docstring and shrinks
onSystemEvent to a router.
When the tray "Extend now" notification action and the about-to-expire
dialog both start a flow for the same deadline, the daemon was running
two independent IdP polls and the older one surfaced an InvalidArgument
toast as soon as the second RequestExtend overwrote the pending flow.
Follow the WaitSSOLogin pattern: at the top of WaitExtendAuthSession
cancel the previous wait (the SetWaitCancel/CancelWait pair on
PendingFlow already existed but was unused), then register the new
wait's cancel. Preempted callers exit with codes.Canceled; the
authsession service translates that into ExtendResult{Preempted: true}
so the tray and the React dialog can stay silent on the losing flow
instead of showing a false-failure toast / error dialog.
All Wails3 Taskfiles passed -buildvcs=false to go build, which disables
the automatic VCS info embedding Go 1.18+ does by default. As a result
runtime/debug.ReadBuildInfo() returned an empty vcs.revision in our
netbird-ui binary, so the upcoming version.NetbirdCommit() helper from
PR #6263 could not display the git sha for dev builds.
Removed from build:native in all three platform Taskfiles plus the
Windows build:console and the Dockerfile.cross cross-compile script.
go version -m bin/netbird-ui now reports vcs.revision and vcs.modified.
