The updater runs as LocalSystem and started netbird-ui via
CreateProcessAsUser with a nil environment, so the UI inherited the
SYSTEM environment (USERPROFILE, APPDATA pointing at systemprofile)
while running under the user's token. The WebView2-based UI exits
immediately in that state, so the UI never came back after an update.
Build the environment from the user's token with CreateEnvironmentBlock
and pass it to CreateProcessAsUser.
Android never reported its local network interfaces, so PeerNetworkRange posture checks could not be evaluated: NetworkAddresses always arrived empty.
net.Interfaces() is unusable on Android 11+ (SELinux blocks netlink), so the addresses are parsed from the interface description the host app already provides via stdnet.ExternalIFaceDiscover. The MAC filter is skipped, mirroring #5906
for iOS, since Android does not expose MACs either and nothing reads Mac server side.
Stop the UI before a silent Windows update and suppress the installer reboot
On silent MSI updates msiexec could reboot the machine on its own. The running UI holds a lock on its own exe, and since msiexec runs as LocalSystem it cannot close the interactive user's UI via Restart Manager, so the MSI scheduled the
file replacement for the next reboot and marked the install restart-required.
Terminate netbird-ui.exe before launching the installer and wait until its image file is released; the existing deferred restart brings it back after the install on every exit path
Run msiexec with /norestart REBOOT=ReallySuppress so it never reboots on its own
Treat exit codes 3010/1641 as success with a warning instead of a failure

* [client] Clear stale installer result before starting update
The installer result file could survive a previous update attempt (e.g.
when the updater wrote it after the restarted daemon already ran its
startup check). A new install attempt left the old file in place, so the
GUI progress window's first GetInstallerResult poll read the outdated
result: a stale success made the GUI quit mid-install, which cancelled
the TriggerUpdate context and aborted the artifact verification; a stale
error surfaced a bogus failure dialog for a succeeding update.
Remove any leftover result file at the start of RunInstallation, before
the download begins, so result watchers only see the current attempt's
outcome.
* [client] Align stale-result warning with log message style
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.
Adds an SSHClient gomobile binding so the Android app can run an SSH session over the tunnel with a PTY, exposed through a listener interface for the in-app terminal.
Server type is auto-detected from the SSH banner, which selects the auth path: JWT device-code flow, NetBird key, or a regular server (NetBird key first, then password). Host keys are verified against the peer registry for NetBird servers and trust-on-first-use for regular ones.
* [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
* [client] Skip IPv6 route tests when the default nexthop is unusable
ensureIPv6DefaultRoute treated a successful netlink RouteAdd as proof that
a usable IPv6 nexthop exists. Installing ::/0 via loopback can succeed while
the kernel still rejects that nexthop for a concrete prefix, which surfaced
on ubuntu22/20260810.260 runners as:
add route to table: netlink add route: invalid argument
Probe the resolved nexthop by installing and removing a discard-prefix route
through the same code path the tests use, and skip when it fails. EEXIST
means the nexthop already carries a route, so it counts as usable.
* [client] Probe the IPv6 nexthop through raw netlink
addRoute swallows EAFNOSUPPORT and EOPNOTSUPP via isOpErr, so a nil return
did not prove the probe route was installed. Call netlink directly so an
unsupported operation skips the test instead of passing as usable.
Align Android logout semantics with the desktop UI and CLI: logging out no
longer deletes the stored account email, so the next login passes it as the
OIDC login_hint and the IdP preselects the account. Removing the profile is
now the operation that deletes the email; previously RemoveProfile left the
account file behind, which the fixed-name default profile would have
inherited on recreation.
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").

The NSIS installer deleted HKLM/HKCU CurrentVersion\Run values it never
writes, which matches common AV heuristics for unwanted Run-key
manipulation and is suspected to contribute to Windows Defender and
third-party antivirus false positives on the installer.
Drop all autostart registry deletions from both the install and
uninstall sections so the installer only touches keys it creates
itself. Cleanup of the legacy machine-wide entry written by old
installers is left to documentation.
Extends the approach of the closed PR #6735, which only removed the
per-user deletion on uninstall.
## Describe your changes
`recordConnectionMetrics` mapped only `conntype.Relay` to `relay` and
let a `default` branch
record everything else as `ice`. That silently included `ICETurn` — an
ICE connection through
a TURN server, which
[`conn.isRelayed`](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/client/internal/peer/conn.go#L788-L795)
itself counts as relayed — and `None`, the transient state set when the
relay drops
([conn.go:632](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/client/internal/peer/conn.go#L632))
or the peer state is reset
([conn.go:757](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/client/internal/peer/conn.go#L757)).
Both were reported as direct peer-to-peer, so the `ice` share overstated
direct connections on
every platform.
The mapping now lists every priority explicitly and emits `ice_p2p`,
`ice_turn`, `relay` or
`unknown`. The new values deliberately do not reuse `ice` to avoid
ambuguity.
## Issue ticket number and link
No public issue. Found while reviewing the first production sample of
client metrics: 38% of iOS
connection events were tagged `ice` on a platform that forces relay by
default, which traced back
to the `default` branch at
[client/internal/peer/conn.go#L963-L968](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/client/internal/peer/conn.go#L963-L968).

## Describe your changes
The Conn struct is reused across lazy-connection deactivate/activate.
Close
cancels the WireGuard watcher (via wgWatcherCancel, and ctxCancel also
tears
down its context) but left conn.wgWatcher pointing at the stopped
instance.
enableWgWatcherIfNeeded skips while conn.wgWatcher is non-nil, so the
next Open
never started a fresh watcher: once a lazy connection had idled and
woken, the
peer ran with no watcher at all — no WireGuard handshake-timeout
detection and
none of the escalation that depends on it.
Clear conn.wgWatcher and conn.wgWatcherCancel in Close so the next Open
re-arms
a fresh watcher.

## 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
Probe the daemon login with IsLoginRequired
The Login probe attemptLogin(ctx, "", "") on an unregistered peer ends
in registerPeer with no setup key and no JWT, which fails locally with
InvalidArgument before reaching Management. Since #6983 classified that
as StatusLoginFailed and returned early, every setup-key enrolment and
every expired-session SSO re-login aborted before using its credentials,
breaking all netbird-cloud e2e runs from commit e90be36cd.
IsLoginRequired asks the question the probe actually means - is the
peer's key alone still accepted - and reports Management's refusal as a
decision (needsLogin) instead of an error, the same pattern
foregroundLogin, Android and iOS already use.

<!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
The Android binding never recorded which account a profile belongs to,
so every interactive login and every session extend went to the IdP with
no login_hint. With nothing to go on the IdP picks an account itself,
which on a session extend means re-authenticating an account the profile
is already signed in with.
Store the email the PKCE flow already parses out of the ID token, and
pass it back as the hint on later flows. An empty hint stays meaningful:
a fresh profile, or one that was logged out, deliberately leaves the
choice to the IdP, which is how a profile changes accounts. Logout
clears the stored email for that reason — while it is on disk it would
steer the next login straight back into the account just logged out of.
The email is keyed off the profile's config path rather than the active
profile: Auth.login runs in a goroutine, so the active profile can
change under a flow already in flight. It lands in
<profile>.account.json, not the <profile>.state.json desktop uses for
the same data — there the email and the engine's state manager sit in
different directories, but on Android both resolve under files/, and the
state manager rewrites the whole file from its own keys.

## Describe your changes
NewAuth builds a fresh in-memory configuration on every call, which
means a new WireGuard key each time. The peer registers under that key
and the key is written out, so any peer registered by an earlier call is
orphaned on the server — a client that enrols twice leaves two entries
and owns neither.
It also breaks the enrol-then-run sequence. `RunWithoutLogin` reloads
the configuration from disk through `UpdateOrCreateConfig`, so the
identity that registered is not necessarily the identity that runs, and
the management stream rejects it:
```
failed to login to Management Service: rpc error: code = PermissionDenied
desc = no peer auth method provided, please use a setup key or interactive SSO login
```
followed by a panic in `ConnectClient.run`.
### How it was found
Embedding the Android client in an application that enrols with a setup
key and then runs. Eight orphaned peers accumulated on a self-hosted
management server before the cause was clear, because every restart
registered a new one.
### The change
`NewAuth` passes `ConfigPath` and uses `UpdateOrCreateConfig`, so an
existing configuration is reused and one is only created when absent. A
caller wanting a fresh identity can delete the file — which is what
"forget this account" already does.
### Test
`TestNewAuth_ReusesPersistedIdentity` fails on the current code:
```
--- FAIL: TestNewAuth_ReusesPersistedIdentity (0.00s)
login_test.go:33: private key changed between calls: a second enrolment would orphan the peer registered by the first
```
and passes with the fix. `TestNewAuth_CreatesConfigWhenAbsent` covers
the first-enrolment path being unchanged. Both run in `client/android`
on Linux.
Per CONTRIBUTING, opening directly as a bug fix rather than raising an
issue first.

## Describe your changes
Pull fresh TUN settings on Android rebuild instead of push
The Android TUN rebuild consumed state pushed through notifications and
a Java-side snapshot, and both sources were unreliable. The DNS
search-domain notifier fired OnNetworkChanged with an empty string,
which the rebuild handler treated as the new route list, so any search
domain change rebuilt the TUN with zero routes and cut all tunnel
traffic. The rebuild also reused the search domains cached at the last
establish, so search domain updates never reached the TUN at runtime.
Make the notification a pure trigger and let the Java side pull a fresh
snapshot instead. Expose GetTunSettings on the Android SDK client: it
returns the current TUN route ranges, derived on demand by the route
manager from the client routes, the exit-node selection and the fake IP
blocks, together with the DNS search domains. The route notifier keeps
only its last-announced baseline to suppress triggers for unchanged
syncs; the TUN route state is owned by the route manager. SearchDomains
now locks the DNS server mutex since the pull arrives from a Java
thread.
Requires the matching android-client change that switches recreateTUN to
the pull API.

## 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.

## 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
The Android route notifier and the DNS search-domain notifier both
delivered OnNetworkChanged from a fire-and-forget goroutine per update.
Two updates in quick succession could reach the Java side reordered: the
TUN rebuild handler applies them in arrival order and compares against
the last applied parameters, so a stale route set delivered last won as
the final TUN state. This is the same reordering hazard fixed for iOS in
#6454.
Wrap the Android network change listener into the shared tunnelnotifier
FIFO introduced in #6870, the same way RunOniOS does, and deliver both
notifiers synchronously into it. Enqueueing is non-blocking, a single
delivery goroutine preserves order, and calls into Java never overlap.
Also stop hasRouteDiff from sorting the notifier's shared route slices
in place; compare sorted copies instead.

The fake IP manager was only created at route manager construction, from the DNS feature flag fetched by the initial GetNetworkMap call. When the flag flipped to true mid-session, UpdateRoutes set useNewDNSRoute but never created the manager, so domain routes added after the flip got a DNS interceptor with a nil fake IP manager.
internalDnatFw only checked for a firewall and GOOS, so the interceptor took the DNAT path and called GetFakeIP/AllocateFakeIP on the nil *fakeip.Manager. These methods lock m.mu first, which is a nil pointer dereference: the first DNS answer for such a route panicked and crashed the VPN service. The fake IP blocks (240.0.0.0/8 and its v6 pair) also never reached the TUN, since only the constructor registered them.
Create the manager and its TUN routes from UpdateRoutes when the flag turns on, notify so the fake IP blocks get into the TUN without a client route change, and treat a nil manager as no internal DNAT.
This is groundwork for removing the initial GetNetworkMap fetch, after which every startup goes through the flag-off-to-on transition.
## 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.

<!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Removes redundant `Login` RPCs from the iOS SDK bindings. Both changed
files are behind
the `ios` build tag — Android, desktop and the shared core are not
affected.
### Problem
`auth.Auth.IsLoginRequired()` is not a cheap probe: it calls
`doMgmLogin()` and classifies
the resulting error, so every "is login required?" check costs a **full
`Login` RPC**. There
is no lighter way to ask. As a result the iOS client issued ~7 `Login`
requests before the
first `Sync`, where Android issues ~3, and the extra ones were
indistinguishable from real
logins in the management logs.
Three of those came from this package:
1. `Run()` called `LoginSync()` before starting the engine, which
performs `IsLoginRequired`
**and** `Login` — two RPCs. This duplicated the engine's own
`loginToManagement`
(`client/internal/connect.go`), which runs immediately before the first
`Sync` and is the
authoritative login. The `Login(ctx, "", "")` inside `LoginSync` could
not even establish
anything: with an empty setup key and empty JWT, a registration attempt
fails by
construction, so it was a pure check.
2. `Auth.login()` called `IsLoginRequired()` again before opening the
browser, even when the
caller had already determined that login is needed.
This is not only wasted traffic:
- **It pushes peers toward the server-side login ban.** In
`management/internals/shared/grpc/loginfilter.go`, every login with
unchanged metadata
increments `sessionCounter`, and exceeding `reconnLimitForBan` (30)
within
`reconnThreshold` (5 min) bans the peer for `baseBlockDuration` (10
min), doubling on
repeat. Redundant logins carry identical metadata, so they count against
exactly this
budget. At 7 logins per connect the budget is exhausted after ~4
reconnects instead of
~10 — reachable on flaky mobile networks.
- **Each redundant check is a potential 2-minute stall.**
`IsLoginRequired` retries with
backoff up to `MaxElapsedTime` (2 min) and returns `true` on failure, so
an unreachable
server was reported as "login required" rather than as a timeout, and
the `LoginSync`
pre-flight could abort engine startup on that basis.
### Changes
**`client/ios/NetBirdSDK/client.go`** — `Run()` no longer performs the
`LoginSync()`
pre-flight. The engine's `loginToManagement` remains the single
authoritative login.
**`client/ios/NetBirdSDK/login.go`** — new exported `LoginInteractive`,
which skips the
`IsLoginRequired()` pre-flight and goes straight to the browser /
device-code flow, for
callers that have already established login is required.
`LoginWithDeviceName` keeps the
check for callers where the auth state is unknown (tvOS). Both now
delegate to a shared
`startLogin()`.
### Why this is safe
An expired or revoked session still fails the connection, one step later
and through a
single path: `loginToManagement` returns `PermissionDenied` → the
deferred
`MarkManagementDisconnected` records it on the shared status recorder →
`ClientStop` fires
the listener's disconnect callback, where `IsLoginRequiredCached()`
reports login-required →
the client tears the tunnel down. The error is also returned out of
`Run()`.
Where the server is unreachable, the engine now retries with backoff and
recovers on its
own instead of aborting the start.

## Describe your changes
`getInterfaceIndex` in the iOS upstream DNS resolver dereferenced the
result of `net.InterfaceByName` before checking the error, so a missing
interface (e.g. during teardown or renaming) caused a nil-pointer panic
instead of a DNS client error.
The helper now returns a wrapped error before touching the interface;
the only caller, `GetClientPrivate`, already propagates the error.
The helper moved to an un-build-tagged file so it can be unit-tested on
host platforms while remaining available to the iOS build. Added a test
covering the missing-interface path. Verified with the new host test, an
iOS arm64 CGO compile, and `git diff --check`.
