## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* SSO browser-login popups now open centered on the display where the
cursor is located, and they recenter correctly on subsequent opens.
* Programmatic cleanup no longer triggers “login canceled” behavior;
cancel is emitted only when the user closes the active popup.
* **New Features**
* Added a streamlined “close renewal flow” action that tears down the
session-renewal UI by closing both the login and session-expiration
popups.

* [client] Bring the connection up in Go after SSO login
The post-login Up ran as a frontend promise continuation after WaitSSOLogin
resolved. During SSO the tray window is hidden and the webview is suspended
(macOS App Nap / hidden-window timer throttling), so that continuation didn't
run until the user woke the window (e.g. hovering the tray icon), leaving the
client not connected for a long time. Combine WaitSSOLogin and Up in a single
Go method so the daemon connects the moment SSO completes, independent of
webview state. The frontend no longer issues a separate Up on the SSO path.
* [client] unexport waitSSOLogin and move below exported methods
Users reported long delays between finishing browser authentication and
the client connecting. Logs could not attribute the time: the PKCE and
device flows were silent between issuing the auth URL and returning the
token, and nothing recorded when the GUI issued the Up request after
WaitSSOLogin completed.
Add log lines covering the full chain: PKCE callback arrival and token
exchange duration, device-flow polling and approval timing, GUI-side
brackets around WaitSSOLogin and Up, daemon-side Up arrival and
WaitSSOLogin return, and a frontend stall detector that reports when
webview timers were suspended (macOS App Nap / hidden-window
throttling), which delays the WaitSSOLogin-to-Up handoff.
- **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.
