The auto-update feature was driven by two narrow Wails events
(netbird:update:available and :progress) plus a SystemEvent-metadata
iteration on the React side. Both surfaces had to know the daemon
metadata schema (new_version_available, enforced, progress_window),
and the frontend had no pull endpoint to seed its state on mount.
Extract the state machine into a new client/ui/updater package, mirroring
how i18n and preferences are split between domain logic and a thin
services facade. The package owns the State type, the metadata-key
parsing, the mutex-guarded Holder, and the single netbird:update:state
event. services.Update keeps the daemon RPCs (Trigger, GetInstallerResult,
Quit) and gains GetState as a Wails pull endpoint.
Tray-side update behaviour moves out of tray.go into a dedicated
trayUpdater (tray_update.go): owns its menu item, OS notification,
click handler, and the /update window opener triggered by the
daemon's progress_window:show. tray.go drops three callbacks and four
fields, and reads hasUpdate through the updater.
Frontend ClientVersionContext now seeds from Update.GetState() and
subscribes to netbird:update:state; the status.events iteration and
metadata-key string literals are gone. UpdateAvailableBanner renders
only for the enforced && !installing branch and labels its action
"Install now"; UpdateVersionCard splits the install vs. download
branches by Enforced so the disabled flow routes to GitHub.
The optimistic Connecting paint and the Idle/stale-Connected
suppression lived in the tray's applyStatus, so only the tray got the
smoothed-out transition during a profile switch — the React Status
page (useStatus hook in frontend) subscribes to the same
netbird:status event and was seeing the raw daemon stream, complete
with the Disconnected blink.
Move the policy one layer up into the Peers service, between
SubscribeStatus and the Wails event bus, so every consumer downstream
sees the same filtered stream:
* Peers gains BeginProfileSwitch / CancelProfileSwitch / shouldSuppress.
BeginProfileSwitch sets the in-progress flag and emits a synthetic
Connecting status so both the tray and React paint Connecting
immediately. shouldSuppress swallows the daemon's stale Connected
(peer-count teardown) and transient Idle (Down between flows)
until Connecting / NeedsLogin / LoginFailed / SessionExpired /
DaemonUnavailable indicates the new profile's flow has started,
or a 30s safety timeout fires.
* ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive calls peers.BeginProfileSwitch when
wasActive (prevStatus was Connected or Connecting) — the only
cases where the daemon emits the blink-inducing sequence. Other
prevStatuses already terminate cleanly on Idle.
* Tray loses its switchInProgress fields, applyOptimisticConnecting
helper, applyStatus suppression switch, and switchProfile's
optimistic-paint call. handleDisconnect now calls
Peers.CancelProfileSwitch alongside cancelling switchCancel, so
the abort path bypasses the suppression filter and the daemon's
Idle paints through immediately.
The full prevStatus -> action / optimistic label / suppressed events
matrix now lives in the ProfileSwitcher struct godoc, with the
suppression-rule-per-incoming-status table on the Peers struct
godoc — together they describe the click-time policy and the
stream-filter behaviour without duplication.
Wails bindings need regenerating to pick up Peers.BeginProfileSwitch
and Peers.CancelProfileSwitch.
Both the tray and the React Profiles page previously had separate
switching logic: the tray applied a status-aware reconnect policy
(Down for error states, Up only when previously Connected/Connecting),
while the React page always called Switch + Up unconditionally with no
Down for LoginFailed/NeedsLogin/SessionExpired.
Introduce a single ProfileSwitcher service that encapsulates the full
reconnect policy. SwitchActive queries the current daemon status, calls
Switch, and launches Down/Up in a background goroutine so the caller
returns immediately after the Switch RPC completes. Both the tray and
the React Profiles page now delegate to this service.
Export the daemon status string constants (StatusConnected, etc.) from
the services package so tray.go no longer duplicates them as private
constants.
The status snapshot tore down on every management retry because
state.Status() blanks the status when an error is wrapped, and the
SubscribeStatus stream propagated that as FailedPrecondition. The UI
treated any stream error as "daemon not running" and flickered the tray
to Not running between retries.
Disconnect was also unresponsive: Down set Idle before the retry
goroutine exited, which then overwrote it with Set(Connecting) on the
next attempt; the backoff sleep (up to 15s) wasn't context-aware, so the
goroutine kept running long after actCancel.
- buildStatusResponse falls back to the underlying status (via new
state.CurrentStatus) instead of breaking the stream on wrapped errors.
- UI only flips to DaemonUnavailable on codes.Unavailable / non-status
errors, so a live daemon returning FailedPrecondition is not reported
as down.
- connect retry uses backoff.WithContext so actCancel interrupts the
inter-attempt sleep, and skips Wrap(err) when the dial fails due to
ctx cancellation.
- Down sets Idle after waiting for giveUpChan, so the retry goroutine
can no longer race the disconnect.
- Tray hides Connect during Connecting and keeps Disconnect enabled so
the user can abort an in-flight connection attempt.
The status stream emits a synthetic StatusDaemonUnavailable when the
gRPC client or stream cannot be established, fired once per outage and
cleared on the next real snapshot. The tray maps it to a "Not running"
status label, switches the icon to the error variant, hides
Connect/Disconnect (neither would work without the daemon), and
disables Settings, Networks and Create Debug Bundle so the user is not
routed to pages that would just fail to load.
Removes the legacy fyne-based client/ui implementation and renames the
Wails replacement (client/ui-wails) to take its place at client/ui. Go
imports, frontend bindings, CI workflows, goreleaser configs and the
windows .syso icon path are updated to follow the rename.
