## 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.
## Issue ticket number and link
No public issue — reported internally (community report on Slack: macOS
advanced-view + onboarding reset on every update, esp. via MDM/Munki).

## 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.

## Describe your changes
Agent Network gates providers, policies, guardrails, budgets, usage,
access logs, and settings behind the single `agent_network` permission
module, so access is all-or-nothing: a future delegated role cannot be
scoped to a subset of the area (for example usage-only visibility).
This introduces dotted submodules (`agent_network.providers`,
`.policies`, `.guardrails`, `.budgets`, `.usage`, `.logs`, `.settings`)
and resolves grants with a cascade: exact module first, then its parent,
then the role's `AutoAllowNew` default. The agent network manager now
validates each operation against its matching submodule. `usage`
(aggregated counters, overview) is deliberately separate from `logs`
(request-level entries, which can contain captured prompts).
No role definitions change. No built-in role carries an explicit
`agent_network` entry, so every role resolves the submodules exactly as
it resolved the parent module before — pinned by a test that compares
each built-in role's answer on every submodule against its answer on
`agent_network`. Role additions that use these submodules come
separately.

<!-- 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`.

## Describe your changes
[#7009](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/pull/7009) wrote down what
we expect
from a contribution: an agreed ticket first, a change the author has
run, one
purpose per PR, small enough to review, a title tag CI already enforces.
That
works for contributors who read CONTRIBUTING.md.
A growing share of what reaches the queue is drafted by a coding agent,
and those
tools never read it. The result is predictable and repetitive: a PR with
no ticket
behind it, an approach we would have talked the author out of in five
minutes, a
diff too large to review carefully against a daemon that runs as root, a
description longer than the code it describes, and an author who cannot
answer
questions about their own change. That is not a tooling problem. It is
what
happens when a capable tool is pointed at a repository whose
expectations nobody
told it.
AGENTS.md states those expectations in the format agents pick up
automatically.
The first entry in its stop-and-ask list is asking the contributor for
the
discussion or issue before drafting anything, which is where most of
these PRs
go wrong. It also carries the repository map, the Go conventions we
apply in
review, the local verification commands, the PR template and title-tag
rules,
and instructions to read the review bots rather than resolve their
threads.
CONTRIBUTING.md gains a short section saying plainly that we have no
policy for
or against agents, that this guide exists because of what we keep seeing
rather
than as a restriction on tools, and that whatever produced a diff its
author owns
it. It also records that we weigh whether a contribution is worth
maintaining,
and that what gets merged has to match our security and design
expectations.
CLAUDE.md is a one-line pointer rather than a symlink, deliberately. A
symlink is
tidier, but a Windows checkout without symlink support materialises it
as a plain
file containing the target path, and an agent then reads one word as its
entire
instruction set with no error to show for it. Given how much Windows
work this
repository sees, a pointer file that survives every checkout is worth
the extra
file.
Nothing here is enforced by CI, and no workflow changes. It is guidance,
aimed at
PRs arriving in a reviewable state more often.
## Describe your changes
We are updating the contributing guide to require an issue to be opened
before PRs; this will allow discussing changes before code is shipped.
Update the rest of the file because of outdated information and align
