client/ui: open main window on tray left-click on Linux

KDE Plasma routes a tray left-click to the SNI Activate method (right-click
opens the context menu), but NetBird wired no Activate action, so on KDE a
left-click appeared completely dead while only right-click surfaced the menu.

Bind the Linux tray OnClick handler to ShowWindow(). OpenMenu() is not an
option on Linux: Wails v3 leaves linuxSystemTray.openMenu unimplemented (it
only logs), so left-click→OpenMenu would still do nothing on KDE. ShowWindow()
is the same call Windows already runs from its double-click handler, and it
does not reproduce the macOS OpenMenu freeze (c77e5cef8) — that came from
NSStatusItem's blocking embedded menu loop, whereas Show/Focus return
immediately.

Split the Linux click handler into its own tray_click_linux.go and narrow the
macOS no-op bindTrayClick build tag accordingly. The context menu stays on
right-click on every host. On hosts that already open the menu on left-click
natively (GNOME Shell + AppIndicator) left-click now opens the window instead;
the menu remains on right-click.

 ### Go (top-level package `main`)
 - `main.go` — app entry. Builds the shared gRPC `Conn`, constructs services, registers them with Wails, creates the main webview window, then starts (in order) the Linux SNI watcher → tray → `peers.Watch` → `app.Run`. CLI flags: `--daemon-addr`, `--log-file` (repeatable; first user-provided value drops the seeded `console` default), `--log-level` (`trace|debug|info|warn|error`, default `info`).
 - `tray.go` — `Tray` struct + menu. Subscribes to `EventStatus`, `EventSystem`, `EventUpdateAvailable`, `EventUpdateProgress`. Owns per-status icon/dot, Profiles submenu, Connect/Disconnect swap, About → Update, session-expired toast.
-- **Tray menu updates go through `relayoutMenu` (whole-tree rebuild), never in-place submenu mutation.** Any dynamic menu change — Profiles submenu (`tray_profiles.go loadProfiles` → caches rows under `profilesMu`, then `fillProfileSubmenu`), Exit Node submenu (`tray_exitnodes.go refreshExitNodes` → `fillExitNodeSubmenu`), daemon-version row (`tray_status.go`), and the About → Update row (`tray_update.go applyState` → `onMenuChange` callback) — rebuilds the entire menu via `Tray.relayoutMenu` (`buildMenu()` + repaint cached state + single `t.tray.SetMenu`). Serialised by `menuMu`. **Why:** on KDE/Plasma the StatusNotifierItem host caches a submenu's layout the first time it's opened (`GetLayout` for that submenu id) and never re-fetches it on a `LayoutUpdated(parent=0)` signal — so the old `submenu.Clear()`+`Add()` left both the visible rows AND the click→id mapping frozen on the first snapshot. Because `Clear()`+`Add()` allocates fresh monotonic item ids each time (Wails `menuitem.go`), clicks then sent ids the rebuilt `itemMap` no longer knew, and silently no-op'd ("Manage Profiles" stopped responding after the first switch). `buildMenu()` allocates a brand-new submenu container id each relayout, which Plasma treats as unseen and re-queries on next open — fixing both the stale paint and the dead clicks. Confirmed via `dbus-monitor`: a re-opened submenu issued no `GetLayout` until its container id changed. The whole-tree `SetMenu` also subsumes the older darwin detached-NSMenu workaround. `fill*Submenu` helpers are pure UI (read caches, no daemon fetch, no `SetMenu`) so `relayoutMenu` never recurses back into the fetchers.
-- `tray_linux.go` — `init()` sets `WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1` (blank-white window on VMs / minimal WMs) and `WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1` (Intel/Mesa SIGSEGV in `g_application_run` via unimplemented DRM-format-modifier paths — DMABUF-disable alone doesn't cover the GL compositor). Both are skipped if the user already set the var. Also `WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS=1` when unprivileged userns are blocked.
+- `tray_linux.go` — `init()` sets `WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1` to avoid the blank-white window on VMs / minimal WMs.
 - `tray_watcher_linux.go`, `xembed_host_linux.go`, `xembed_tray_linux.{c,h}` — in-process SNI watcher + XEmbed bridge for minimal WMs. See `LINUX-TRAY.md`.
 - `signal_unix.go` / `signal_windows.go` — `listenForShowSignal`. Unix uses SIGUSR1; Windows uses a named event `Global\NetBirdQuickActionsTriggerEvent`. Mirrors the legacy Fyne UI's external-trigger contract so the installer / CLI keep working.
 - `grpc.go` — lazy, mutex-protected gRPC `Conn` shared by every service. `DaemonAddr()`: `unix:///var/run/netbird.sock` on Linux/macOS, `tcp://127.0.0.1:41731` on Windows.

 - **Settings** (`/#/settings`) — opened from the header gear icon (`pages/main/Header.tsx → WindowManager.OpenSettings("")`), the tray's Settings menu entry (`tray.go openSettings`), and the profile dropdown's "Manage Profiles" entry (`WindowManager.OpenSettings("profiles")`, which sets `?tab=profiles` in the start URL — `Settings.tsx` reads it via `useSearchParams`). The window hosts every settings tab — including **Profiles** (`ProfilesTab.tsx`, `UserCircle` icon, sits between Security and SSH), which lists profiles in a table with Deregister/Delete in a per-row kebab and an Add Profile button. Both call sites go through `WindowManager` so the user sees the same dedicated frameless window from either trigger — the tray used to repurpose the main window via `SetURL("/#/settings")`, which replaced the main UI in place. Frameless-look (opaque macOS backdrop, hidden inset title bar), fixed 900×640, no resize, no minimise/maximise. **Unlike the other auxiliary windows**, Settings is created eagerly (hidden) inside `NewWindowManager` and hides on close instead of being destroyed — first open is instant. The window stays at a single URL (`/#/settings`) forever; `OpenSettings(tab)` does **not** call `SetURL`. Instead it emits `netbird:settings:open` with the target tab (empty → `"general"`), then calls `Show`/`Focus`. `SettingsPage` keeps the active tab in React local state and listens for the event to switch. **Reset-on-close lives in the React side**, not the Go close hook: `SettingsPage` listens for `document.visibilitychange` and resets the tab to General when the page goes hidden. Doing it via `Event.Emit` from the close hook didn't work — the dispatch goroutine races `Hide`, the JS listener often runs only after the *next* `Show`, and the user sees a one-frame flash of the previous tab. The Page Visibility API fires before WebKit throttles the page, so the state update lands while we're still in foreground JS. (The earlier `SetURL` path re-loaded the WKWebView entirely, re-mounting the `AppLayout` provider stack and visibly flashing the `SettingsSkeleton` while `SettingsContext` re-fetched config.)
 - **BrowserLogin** (`/#/dialog/browser-login?uri=…`) — opened by the connection toggle's SSO flow (`pages/main/ConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx`). 460×440, fixed size. The close button (red X) fires `EventBrowserLoginCancel` so the JS-side `startLogin()` can tear down the daemon's pending `WaitSSOLogin`. `WindowManager.CloseBrowserLogin` closes it programmatically when the flow completes.
-- **SessionExpiration** (`/#/dialog/session-expiration?seconds=<n>`) — opened by `WindowManager.OpenSessionExpiration(seconds)`. 460×380, fixed size, `AlwaysOnTop: true`. The React-side buttons close the window via `WindowManager.CloseSessionExpiration` and (for Sign-in / Stay-connected) emit `EventTriggerLogin` so the main window's `startLogin()` orchestrator handles the SSO flow. Triggered by the tray today: `tray_session.go openSessionExpiration` fires it at T-FinalWarningLead when the earlier T-10 notification wasn't dismissed, and `openSessionExtendFlow` opens it on tray-row click seeded with the live remaining time. **Multi-monitor aware** — targets the display the OS cursor is currently on via `WindowManager.getScreenBasedOnCursorPosition`, which queries the native cursor location per-OS through `getCursorPosition` (`services/cursor_{darwin,windows,linux,other}.go`): `NSEvent.mouseLocation` flipped against the primary's frame height on macOS, `w32.GetCursorPos` + ScreenManager `PhysicalToDipPoint` on Windows, X11 `XQueryPointer` on Linux. The X11 query covers Wayland sessions too via XWayland, which ships by default on every supported Linux target. **Verified distro coverage**: Windows, macOS, Ubuntu 22.04 + 24.04 (GNOME-Wayland default + XWayland), Fedora 40 (GNOME-Wayland + XWayland), Debian 12 (GNOME default + XWayland), Arch Linux (any DE/compositor + XWayland), Linux Mint (Cinnamon-Xorg → Xorg direct), GNOME (Xorg + Wayland), Fluxbox (Xorg, exercised by the xembed-tray test path). Falls back gracefully (no panic, no error) to the main window's screen, then the OS default, when the cursor can't be resolved (headless / no DISPLAY / pure-Wayland-without-XWayland). Both first-create and re-show go through a single helper, `WindowManager.centerOnCursorScreen`: synchronous SetPosition first (covers full desktops and re-show with a still-alive GTK surface), then on minimal WMs (`recenterOnShow` — the Fluxbox/XEmbed-tray path) the same ~1s realize-detection retry loop `centerWhenReady` uses, because Wails' Linux SetPosition silently no-ops against a nil GdkSurface and Fluxbox would otherwise leave the window on the primary monitor.
+- **SessionExpired** (`/#/dialog/session-expired`) and **SessionAboutToExpire** (`/#/dialog/session-about-to-expire?seconds=<n>`) — opened by `WindowManager.OpenSessionExpired` / `OpenSessionAboutToExpire(seconds)`. 460×380, fixed size, `AlwaysOnTop: true` (the user can't miss them). The React-side buttons close the window via `WindowManager.CloseSession*` and (for Sign-in / Stay-connected) emit `EventTriggerLogin` so the main window's `startLogin()` orchestrator handles the SSO flow.Currently no triggers wired — daemon-status integration is a follow-up.
 - **InstallProgress** (`/#/dialog/install-progress?version=<v>`) — opened by `WindowManager.OpenInstallProgress(version)` from `ClientVersionContext` (force-install branch on `installing` flip, user-driven enforced branch from `triggerUpdate`). 360-wide auto-sized via `useAutoSizeWindow`, `AlwaysOnTop`. Owns its own polling loop against `Update.GetInstallerResult` with the 5-second daemon-down-grace (sustained gRPC failure = success → call `Update.Quit()`). Hides every other visible window on open (restored on close).
-- **Welcome** (`/#/dialog/welcome`) — first-launch onboarding window opened by `WindowManager.OpenWelcome()` from `main.go`'s `ApplicationStarted` hook, gated by `prefStore.Get().OnboardingCompleted` so it only fires on a fresh install. Auto-sized via `useAutoSizeWindow`, centered (`InitialPosition: WindowCentered`), inherits `AlwaysOnTop` from `DialogWindowOptions`. Two-step state machine: **(1)** tray-screenshot pitch with the per-OS tray icon; **(2)** Cloud-vs-self-hosted segmented control with optional URL input — only rendered when `shouldShowManagementStep` returns true (default profile + no recorded email + management URL is empty/cloud-default). The Continue button on either terminal step flips `Preferences.SetOnboardingCompleted(true)`, calls `WindowManager.OpenMain()`, then `WindowManager.CloseWelcome()`.
 
-- **Error** (`/#/dialog/error?message=<m>`) — the app's single error surface, opened by `WindowManager.OpenError(title, message)`. **This replaced the native OS MessageBox outright**: the frontend `errorDialog({Title, Message})` wrapper in `lib/errors.ts` now drives this window (same name/signature as before, so call sites were untouched), and the native `Dialogs.Error`/`Warning`/`Info`/`Question` wrappers plus the Windows `Detached` workaround were deleted (nothing called warning/info/question). Frameless NetBird chrome, `AlwaysOnTop` (inherited from `DialogWindowOptions`), auto-sized to the variable-length message via `useAutoSizeWindow`. **`title` is the window's chrome title** — set Go-side as `"NetBird - <title>"` (empty falls back to the localised "Error"), *not* shown in the body — so it's excluded from `retitleAll` (a language flip must not clobber the live error title). **`message` is the body text**, carried as a query param (`errorDialogURL` query-escapes it so newlines/`&` in formatted daemon errors survive into `useSearchParams`). The left-aligned body is just the danger `SquareIcon` + message + a bottom-right Close button. A second error while one is open updates the live window (`SetTitle` + `SetURL`) instead of stacking another. Singleton, destroyed on close. The Close button (and the Escape key — keyboard cancellation) calls `WindowManager.CloseError()`. Note the behaviour change vs the old native box: `errorDialog()` resolves as soon as the window opens (it no longer blocks until dismissed). **macOS caveat:** the window uses `MacTitleBarHiddenInset`, so the chrome title isn't visibly rendered there — on macOS the error name would not be shown anywhere since it's no longer in the body.

 The locale tree under `client/ui/i18n/locales/` is the single source of truth for both Go (tray, OS notifications) and React (every user-facing string). It sits next to the Go `i18n` package (the tray's consumer) so a single JSON tree drives both surfaces. Layout: `_index.json` lists shipped languages (`code` / `displayName` / `englishName`); `<code>/common.json` per language. `en/common.json` must exist (the `Bundle` loader hard-fails without it); languages listed in `_index.json` without a bundle are skipped with a warning. Placeholders are single-braced (`"Install version {version}"`) — Go substitutes via `Bundle.Translate(lang, key, "name", value, ...)`; React uses i18next with `interpolation: { prefix: "{", suffix: "}" }`.
 
-**Bundle shape is Chrome-extension JSON**: each key maps to `{ "message": "...", "description": "..." }`, not a bare string. `description` is **translator context for Crowdin** (which reads it natively from the source file) and is ignored at runtime — only `en/common.json` needs descriptions; target bundles carry just `message`. Both loaders strip back to a flat `key→message` map: Go's `loadBundle` (`bundle.go`) unmarshals into `map[string]bundleEntry` and flattens (so `BundleFor`/`Translate` signatures are unchanged); `frontend/src/lib/i18n.ts` maps each entry's `message` into the i18next `resources`. When editing a string, edit `message`; when a key's purpose isn't obvious from its name, add/update its `description` so translators (and screenshots auto-tagging) have context.

 ## Wails Dialogs (frontend, `@wailsio/runtime`)
 
-The app no longer uses native `@wailsio/runtime` `Dialogs.*` message boxes — errors go through the custom Error window (see below), confirmations through the in-app `useConfirm()` modal. `WAILS-DIALOGS.md` (sibling) is retained only as reference for the native API surface and the Go-side frameless-window pattern, should a native file picker (`OpenFile`/`SaveFile`) ever be needed.
+API surface — `Dialogs.Info` / `Warning` / `Error` / `Question` / `OpenFile` / `SaveFile`, options shape, per-OS behaviour, and the Go-side frameless-window pattern — lives in `WAILS-DIALOGS.md` (sibling). The conventions for **when** to use a native dialog vs inline UI are in the "Conventions" section below.
 
 ## Conventions in this codebase
 
-### Errors → custom Error window
+### Errors → native dialogs
 
-User-actionable operation failures (config save, profile switch, debug bundle, update, login, etc.) surface via the frontend `errorDialog({Title, Message})` helper in `frontend/src/lib/errors.ts` (alongside `formatErrorMessage`), which opens the custom always-on-top **Error** auxiliary window (`WindowManager.OpenError`, `/#/dialog/error` — see the Auxiliary windows section). Use an action-named title — "Save Settings Failed", "Switch Profile Failed", not "Error" / "Something went wrong" (the window already shows a red error icon). The name `errorDialog` and its `{Title, Message}` shape are unchanged from when it wrapped the native `Dialogs.Error`, so call sites were untouched; the native `Dialogs.Error`/`Warning`/`Info`/`Question` wrappers and the Windows `Detached` workaround were removed (the native MessageBox could wedge the main window's close button — see the Error-window note). Confirmations use the in-app `useConfirm()` modal (`contexts/DialogContext.tsx`), which resolves to a boolean.
+User-actionable operation failures (config save, profile switch, debug bundle, update, etc.) surface via `Dialogs.Error` with an action-named title — "Save Settings Failed", "Switch Profile Failed", not "Error" / "Something went wrong". The dialog itself already says "Error" visually.
 
-**Skip dialogs entirely** for: inline form validation (`Input.tsx`, URL-format checks — too heavy for keystroke feedback); transient link errors on the dashboard (flap in/out with daemon — use an inline indicator); "partial success" notes inside an otherwise-OK flow (e.g. "bundle saved but upload failed" stays inline). The install-progress window owns its own error UI in-place (timeout/canceled/failed phases) — no error dialog needed there.
+Confirmations use `Dialogs.Warning` with explicit `Buttons`. The promise resolves with the **button Label string**, not an index — pin the label into a variable before comparing (especially with i18n, where labels translate). Full API in `WAILS-DIALOGS.md`.

The install-progress window owns its own error UI in-place (timeout/canceled/failed phases) — no native dialog needed there.
 
 ### OS notifications
 
 The tray uses Wails' built-in `notifications` service. One `notifications.NotificationService` is created in `main.go` and passed into `TrayServices.Notifier`. Notification IDs are prefixed for coalescing: `netbird-update-<version>`, `netbird-event-<id>`, `netbird-tray-error`, `netbird-session-expired`. Notifications are gated by the user's "Notifications" toggle (cached in `Tray.notificationsEnabled`, seeded from `Settings.GetConfig` at boot). `Severity == "critical"` events bypass the gate, mirroring the legacy Fyne `event.Manager`.
 
-**All sends go through `safeSendNotification` (`tray_notify.go`)** — never call `Notifier.SendNotification`/`SendNotificationWithActions` directly. It swallows both errors *and panics*. The panic guard is load-bearing on Linux: Wails' notifier connects to the session bus in its `ServiceStartup`, and when that connect fails (headless box, no/unreachable `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, UI launched outside a desktop session) Wails logs the error but leaves the service registered with a **nil `*dbus.Conn`**. The next send then nil-derefs deep inside godbus (`Conn.getSerial`), and because sends run on a Wails event-dispatch goroutine the panic is fatal to the whole process — observed as a "catastrophic failure" crash on a Linux Mint VM when an update toast fired (`tray_update.go sendUpdateNotification`). `recover()` turns it into a logged no-op. The `tray_session.go` plain-notification fallback keys off the returned error, so a recovered panic (returns nil) correctly skips the fallback — the bus is dead, the plain send would panic too.
-
 ### Profile switching invariants
 
 `ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive` is the only switch path on the TS side — `ProfileContext.switchProfile` is the single TS wrapper, and `modules/profiles/ProfilesTab.tsx` + the header `ProfileDropdown` both go through it. The Go side captures `prevStatus`, drives the optimistic-Connecting paint via `Peers.BeginProfileSwitch`, mirrors into the user-side `profilemanager`, and conditionally fires Down/Up per the reconnect-policy table above.

CLI flags + log-target semantics are documented in the `main.go` bullet under "Layout".
 
-Both `windows:build` and `windows:build:console` (the latter outputs `bin/netbird-ui-console.exe` linked against the console subsystem, so Go stdout/stderr/logrus print to the launching terminal) honour `DEV=true`, which drops the `-tags production` flag.

Cross-compile from Linux with `CGO_ENABLED=1 task windows:build:console DEV=true`.

Anything marked "prototype" / "mocked" / "legacy" below should be assumed half-wired. The polished surface today is: the main connect toggle, the Settings window, the debug-bundle flow, the auto-update overlay, and the profile selector. Everything else is in flight.

-## Routing (`app.tsx`)
+## Routing (app.tsx)
 
-`HashRouter`. Dialog routes are grouped under a parent `<Route path="dialog">` (URL grouping only, no shared layout); the two in-window routes sit under `<AppLayout>`. The Go side mirrors the prefix — `WindowManager` opens windows at `/#/dialog/<name>`.
+`HashRouter` with the following routes:
 
-| Path | Component (module) | Layout | Window |
+| Path | Component | Layout | Where it opens |
 |---|---|---|---|
-| `/` | `MainPage` (modules/main/) | `AppLayout` | Main window |
-| `/settings` | `SettingsPage` (modules/settings/) | `AppLayout` | Settings auxiliary window |
-| `/dialog/browser-login` | `LoginWaitingForBrowserDialog` (modules/login/) | none | SSO browser-wait, always-on-top |
-| `/dialog/install-progress` | `UpdateInProgressDialog` (modules/auto-update/) | none | Install progress, always-on-top |
-| `/dialog/session-expiration` | `SessionExpirationDialog` (modules/session/) | none | Session expiry warning, always-on-top |
-| `/dialog/welcome` | `WelcomeDialog` (modules/welcome/) | none | First-launch onboarding |
-| `/dialog/error` | `ErrorDialog` (modules/error/) | none | App's single error surface, always-on-top |
+| `/` |  `MainPage` (modules/main/) | `AppLayout` | Main window default route |
+| `/dialog/browser-login` | `LoginWaitingForBrowserDialog` (modules/login/) | none | Auxiliary window (Go `WindowManager.OpenBrowserLogin`) |
+| `/dialog/install-progress` | `UpdateInProgressDialog` (modules/auto-update/) | none | Auxiliary window (Go `WindowManager.OpenInstallProgress(version)`, always-on-top). Owns the install-result polling + 5s daemon-down-grace; calls `Update.Quit()` on success. Opened by `ClientVersionContext.triggerUpdate` (enforced user-driven branch) and on the `installing` flip from `netbird:update:state` (force-install branch). |
+| `/dialog/session-expired` | `SessionExpiredDialog` (modules/session/) | none | Auxiliary window (Go `WindowManager.OpenSessionExpired`, always-on-top) |
+| `/dialog/session-about-to-expire` | `SessionAboutToExpireDialog` (modules/session/) | none | Auxiliary window (Go `WindowManager.OpenSessionAboutToExpire(seconds)`, always-on-top, mm:ss countdown via `?seconds=`) |
+| `/settings` |  `SettingsPage` (modules/settings/) | `AppLayout` | Auxiliary window (Go `WindowManager.OpenSettings(tab)`). Inherits the shared provider stack from `AppLayout`; the page itself adds the draggable strip + tabs. The `Profiles` tab (`modules/profiles/ProfilesTab.tsx`, `UserCircle` icon, between Security and SSH) lists profiles in a table with Deregister/Delete in a per-row kebab and an Add Profile button. The header `ProfileDropdown`'s "Manage Profiles" entry calls `OpenSettings("profiles")`. The window stays at `/#/settings` for its whole lifetime — no `SetURL` between opens, so `AppLayout`'s providers never remount. Tab is React local state, driven by the `netbird:settings:open` event Go emits before `Show`. Reset-to-General on close is handled in React via `document.visibilitychange` (Page Visibility API), which fires *before* WebKit throttles the hidden page, unlike Wails events from the Go close hook which race `Hide` and leave the previous tab visible for one frame on the next open. |
 | `*` | `<Navigate to="/">` | `AppLayout` | Catch-all |
 
-Auxiliary-window behaviour (sizing, always-on-top, create/destroy lifecycle) lives Go-side in `services/windowmanager.go` — see `../CLAUDE.md`. Frontend-relevant notes per window:
+In `app.tsx` the four dialog routes are nested under a parent `<Route path="dialog">` so the table reads as a tree, not a flat list. The Go side mirrors the prefix — `WindowManager` opens windows at `/#/dialog/<name>`. The `dialog` group has no shared layout component; it's purely a URL grouping.
 
-- **Settings** — opened via `WindowManager.OpenSettings(tab)`. The window stays at `/#/settings` for its whole lifetime (no `SetURL` between opens, so `AppLayout`'s providers never remount). Active tab is React local state in `SettingsPage`, set from the `netbird:settings:open` event Go emits before `Show`. Reset-to-General on close is driven in React by a `document.visibilitychange` listener (the Page Visibility API fires before WebKit throttles the hidden page, unlike a Go close-hook event which races `Hide` and flashes the previous tab for one frame).
-- **install-progress** — owns the install-result polling + 5s daemon-down-grace, calls `Update.Quit()` on success. Opened by `ClientVersionContext.triggerUpdate` (user-driven enforced branch) and on the `installing` flip from `netbird:update:state` (force-install branch).
-- **session-expiration** — `?seconds=` drives an mm:ss countdown; at zero it flips to the expired copy. Sign-in / Stay-connected emit `trigger-login`; Logout calls `Connection.Logout`.
-- **welcome** — opened from Go's `ApplicationStarted` hook only when `prefStore.Get().OnboardingCompleted` is false. Two-step state machine: tray-screenshot pitch → Cloud-vs-self-hosted step (conditional, see `shouldShowManagementStep`). Continue calls `Preferences.SetOnboardingCompleted(true)`, then `WindowManager.OpenMain()`, then `WindowManager.CloseWelcome()`.
-- **error** — `errorDialog({Title, Message})` in `lib/errors.ts` opens this (not a native OS box). `title` is the window chrome title (set Go-side, not in the body); `message` is read from `useSearchParams` and rendered next to a danger `SquareIcon`, with a Close button (Escape also closes → `WindowManager.CloseError()`).
+`AppLayout` is the only in-window layout. It mounts the shared provider stack (`StatusProvider → ProfileProvider → DebugBundleProvider → ClientVersionProvider`) inside a `relative flex h-full flex-col` shell and renders `<Outlet/>`. Both `Main` (route `/`) and `Settings` (route `/settings`) sit under it. Order matters: `SettingsContext` depends on `ProfileContext`, `ClientVersionContext` reads `StatusContext` events. `StatusProvider` (in `contexts/StatusContext.tsx`) owns the single `Peers.Get` + `netbird:status` subscription, exposes `{ status, error, refresh, isReady, isDaemonAvailable, isDaemonUnavailable }`, **and only renders its children when the daemon is reachable** — until the first `Peers.Get` resolves and on `DaemonUnavailable` it short-circuits to just the `<DaemonUnavailableOverlay/>` (also owned by the provider). The consequence: every context downstream (`ProfileProvider`, `DebugBundleProvider`, `ClientVersionProvider`) can assume the daemon is reachable at mount time — no per-context `useStatus` gating. When the daemon flips back to unavailable the whole downstream subtree unmounts and remounts fresh once it returns. `ClientVersionProvider` no longer paints any inline overlay; install progress lives in its own auxiliary window (see `/install-progress` route).
 
-## Layouts
+Page-specific chrome lives next to the page, not in the layout:
+- **`pages/main/Main.tsx`** owns the `Header`, `ViewModeProvider`, and `NavSectionProvider`. All three are main-window-only:
+  - `Header` reads `useViewMode` (view-mode dropdown) and `useClientVersion` (update badge).
+  - `ViewModeProvider` wraps the whole of `Main` because both `Header` and `MainBody` read view mode. It calls `Window.SetSize` on the current Wails window, so it must not be visible to the Settings window.
+  - `NavSectionProvider` is mounted only inside the advanced-mode branch (`MainBody → AdvancedRightPanel`) — the default-mode view has no Peers/Resources/Exit Nodes tabs and no consumer of `useNavSection`. Default mode therefore skips the provider entirely.
+  - `Header.tsx`, `Navigation.tsx`, and `ConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx` are siblings of `Main.tsx` in `pages/main/` because nothing else uses them.
+- **`pages/Settings.tsx`** owns the `h-12` `wails-draggable` strip at the top (so the macOS traffic-light buttons that float over the `MacTitleBarHiddenInset` window don't overlap content), then renders the vertical tabs — no view-mode, no nav, no header.
 
-`AppLayout` is the only router-level layout. It mounts the shared provider stack and renders `<Outlet/>`:
+## Directory layout (src/)
 
-```
-DialogProvider → StatusProvider → ProfileProvider → DebugBundleProvider → ClientVersionProvider
-```
+- `app.tsx` — root render + route table. The canonical registry of every route; scan this file to enumerate pages.
+- `layouts/AppLayout.tsx` — the router-level layout. Mounts the shared provider stack (`StatusProvider → ProfileProvider → DebugBundleProvider → ClientVersionProvider`) and renders `<Outlet/>`. (`layouts/` also holds `AppRightPanel.tsx`, see below.)
+- `modules/<feature>/` — every feature owns its own folder: page entry (named `<Feature>Page.tsx`), local components, and everything else it needs:
+  - `modules/main/` — `MainPage.tsx` + main-window chrome (`Header.tsx`, `ConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx`).
+    - `modules/main/advanced/` — advanced-mode-only surfaces. `Navigation.tsx` plus the three feature sub-modules whose tabs only render here: `peers/`, `networks/`, `exit-nodes/`.
+  - `modules/settings/` — `SettingsPage.tsx`, shared helpers (`SettingsSection.tsx`, `SettingsNavigation.tsx`, `SettingsSkeleton.tsx`), and all tab files flat (`SettingsGeneral`, `SettingsNetwork`, `SettingsSSH`, `SettingsSecurity`, `SettingsAdvanced`, `SettingsTroubleshooting`, `SettingsAbout`, `SettingsAccent`). `ManagementServerSwitch` and `LanguagePicker` are shared in `components/`; `useManagementUrl` is in `hooks/`.
+  - `modules/login/` — `LoginWaitingForBrowserDialog.tsx` (the SSO browser-wait window).
+  - `modules/session/` — `SessionExpiredDialog.tsx` and `SessionAboutToExpireDialog.tsx` (session lifecycle dialog windows).
+  - `modules/auto-update/` — `UpdateInProgressDialog.tsx`, `UpdateBadge.tsx`, `UpdateVersionCard.tsx`. Context lives in `contexts/`.
+  - `modules/profiles/` — `ProfileAvatar.tsx`, `ProfileDropdown.tsx`, `ProfileCreationModal.tsx`, `ProfilesTab.tsx`. Context lives in `contexts/`.
 
-- `DialogProvider` is outermost (and outside the daemon gate) so `useConfirm()` works regardless of daemon state.
-- `StatusProvider` owns the single `DaemonFeed.Get` + `netbird:status` subscription and **only renders its children when the daemon is reachable** — otherwise it short-circuits to `<DaemonUnavailableOverlay/>`. Consequence: every downstream context can assume the daemon is reachable at mount, so no per-context availability gating. When the daemon flips unavailable the whole subtree unmounts and remounts fresh on return.
-- Order matters: `SettingsContext` (mounted in `SettingsPage`) depends on `ProfileContext`; `ClientVersionContext` reads `StatusContext` events.
-
-`AppRightPanel` (in `layouts/`) is the shared content-panel shell used by the advanced-mode body; it supports an overlay slot (the peer-detail panel slides over it).
-
-Page-specific chrome and providers live in the page, not the layout:
-
-- **`MainPage`** (main window only) mounts `ViewModeProvider` (wraps the whole page — both `MainHeader` and `MainBody` read view mode; it calls `Window.SetSize`, so it must not be visible to the Settings window), `NetworksProvider`, and `PeerDetailProvider`. `NavSectionProvider` is mounted **only** inside the advanced-mode branch — default mode has no Peers/Networks tabs and no consumer of `useNavSection`.
-- **`SettingsPage`** owns the `wails-draggable` strip at the top (so the macOS traffic-light buttons floating over the frameless window don't overlap content), then renders the vertical tabs.
-
-## Directory layout (`src/`)
-
-- `app.tsx` — root render + route table. The canonical registry of every route. Also wires init-time bootstrap (`initLogForwarding`, `welcome`, `initI18n`, `initPlatform`) before first render.
-- `layouts/` — `AppLayout.tsx` (the only router-level layout) and `AppRightPanel.tsx` (shared content-panel shell).
-- `modules/<feature>/` — each feature owns its folder: a `*Page.tsx` entry where applicable, plus its local components.
-  - `main/` — `MainPage.tsx`, `MainHeader.tsx`, `MainConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx` (connect toggle + the `startLogin` SSO orchestrator), `MainExitNodeSwitcher.tsx`.
-    - `main/advanced/` — advanced-mode-only surfaces: `Navigation.tsx` (Peers/Networks tab switch) plus `peers/` (`Peers.tsx`, `PeerDetailPanel.tsx`, `PeerFilters.tsx`) and `networks/` (`Networks.tsx`, `NetworkFilters.tsx`). There is no exit-nodes sub-module — exit-node state lives in `NetworksContext` and the UI is `MainExitNodeSwitcher` (shown in default mode too).
-  - `settings/` — `SettingsPage.tsx`, `SettingsNavigation.tsx`, `SettingsSection.tsx`, `SettingsSkeleton.tsx`, and the tab files flat (`SettingsGeneral`, `SettingsNetwork`, `SettingsSecurity`, `SettingsSSH`, `SettingsAdvanced`, `SettingsTroubleshooting`, `SettingsAbout`, `SettingsAccent`). The Profiles tab is `modules/profiles/ProfilesTab.tsx`.
-  - `profiles/` — `ProfileDropdown.tsx` (header), `ProfileCreationModal.tsx`, `ProfilesTab.tsx` (settings table), `ProfileAvatar.tsx`. Context in `contexts/ProfileContext.tsx`. The creation modal collects a profile name + management target (Cloud vs self-hosted + URL, reusing `ManagementServerSwitch` + `useManagementUrl`); `ProfilesTab.handleCreate` adds the profile, `Settings.SetConfig`s the `managementUrl` onto it (keyed by profile name, before switching), then switches. Row actions confirm via `useConfirm()`.
-  - `welcome/` — `WelcomeDialog.tsx` (orchestrator) + `WelcomeStepTray.tsx`, `WelcomeStepManagement.tsx`. The management step renders only when active profile is `"default"`, the profile email is empty, and the management URL is cloud-default-or-empty (`shouldShowManagementStep`). Self-hosted URL reachability is a soft warning (`useManagementUrl.checkManagementUrlReachable`) — the user can re-click Continue to proceed past a failed check.
-  - `login/` — `LoginWaitingForBrowserDialog.tsx` (SSO browser-wait window).
-  - `session/` — `SessionExpirationDialog.tsx`.
-  - `auto-update/` — `UpdateInProgressDialog.tsx`, `UpdateBadge.tsx`, `UpdateVersionCard.tsx`. Context in `contexts/ClientVersionContext.tsx`.
-  - `error/` — `ErrorDialog.tsx`.
-- `contexts/` — every React context as a flat file: `StatusContext`, `ProfileContext`, `DebugBundleContext`, `ClientVersionContext`, `SettingsContext`, `NetworksContext`, `PeerDetailContext`, `ViewModeContext`, `NavSectionContext`, `DialogContext`. Mental model: "where is the X context? `contexts/XContext.tsx`."
-- `components/` — presentational primitives, no daemon RPCs, no router:
-  - `buttons/` — `Button`, `IconButton`.
-  - `inputs/` — `Input`, `SearchInput`.
-  - `dialog/` — `Dialog`, `DialogActions`, `DialogDescription`, `DialogHeading`, `ConfirmDialog` (window-based dialog layout primitive), `ConfirmModal` (in-app Radix confirmation, usually driven via `useConfirm()`).
-  - `switches/` — `SwitchItem`, `SwitchItemGroup`, `ToggleSwitch`, `FancyToggleSwitch`.
-  - `typography/` — `Label`, `HelpText`.
-  - `empty-state/` — `EmptyState`, `NoResults`, `NotConnectedState`, `DaemonUnavailableOverlay`.
-  - Flat at root: `Badge`, `CopyToClipboard`, `DropdownMenu`, `SquareIcon`, `Tooltip`, `TruncatedText`, `VerticalTabs`, `LanguagePicker`, `ManagementServerSwitch`.
-- `hooks/` — `useAutoSizeWindow.ts` (auto-size + `Window.Show` for auxiliary dialogs), `useKeyboardShortcut.ts`, `useManagementUrl.ts` (management-URL helpers: `CLOUD_MANAGEMENT_URL`, `isValidManagementUrl`, `normalizeManagementUrl`, `isCloudManagementUrl`, `checkManagementUrlReachable`).
-- `lib/` — pure utilities (no JSX, no React state): `cn.ts`, `errors.ts` (`formatErrorMessage` + the `errorDialog({Title, Message})` window wrapper), `formatters.ts` (byte/latency/relative-time + `shortenDns`), `sorting.ts` (`reconcileOrder` — order-preserving list reconciliation shared by the peers/networks/profiles lists), `i18n.ts`, `logs.ts` (forwards console + uncaught errors to the Go log pipeline), `platform.ts` (`isMacOS`/`isWindows`), `welcome.ts`.
-- `assets/` — fonts, logos, flags.
+  Note: there's no `modules/daemon-status/` or `modules/debug-bundle/` folder. The daemon-status overlay is a generic presentational component (`components/empty-state/DaemonUnavailableOverlay.tsx`) and `useDebugBundle` is inlined into `contexts/DebugBundleContext.tsx` — both folders would be empty otherwise.
+- `contexts/` — every React context in the app lives here as a flat file (`StatusContext`, `ProfileContext`, `DebugBundleContext`, `ClientVersionContext`, `SettingsContext`, `NetworksContext`, `PeerDetailContext`, `ViewModeContext`, `NavSectionContext`). Single mental model: "where is the X context? `contexts/XContext.tsx`."
+- `components/` — presentational primitives, no domain coupling. Grouped by family:
+  - `components/buttons/` — `Button`, `IconButton`.
+  - `components/inputs/` — `Input`, `SearchInput`.
+  - `components/dialog/` — `Dialog`, `DialogActions`, `DialogDescription`, `DialogHeading`, `ConfirmDialog`.
+  - `components/switches/` — `SwitchItem`, `SwitchItemGroup`, `ToggleSwitch`, `FancyToggleSwitch`.
+  - `components/typography/` — `Label`, `HelpText`.
+  - `components/empty-state/` — `EmptyState`, `NoResults`, `NotConnectedState`.
+  - Flat at root: `Badge.tsx`, `CopyToClipboard.tsx`, `DropdownMenu.tsx`, `SquareIcon.tsx`, `Tooltip.tsx`, `VerticalTabs.tsx` (one-of-a-kind primitives).
+- `layouts/` — `AppLayout.tsx` (the only router-level layout) plus the shared content shell `AppRightPanel.tsx` used by both `MainPage` and `SettingsPage`.
+- `hooks/` — reusable React hooks (`useAutoSizeWindow.ts`, `useKeyboardShortcut.ts`).
+- `lib/` — pure utilities (no JSX, no React state): `cn.ts`, `errors.ts`, `formatters.ts` (byte/latency/relative-time helpers), `i18n.ts`, `welcome.ts`.
+- `assets/` — fonts, logos, flags. `screens/` is a residual legacy bucket — don't add new code there.
 
 ## Wails event bus
 
-Subscribe with `Events.On(name, handler)`; the handler receives `{ data: <typed payload> }`. Event-name strings live next to their usage (no central TS registry). Prefer one subscription at the context level over per-screen — the bus is process-wide and each `Events.On` adds an emit-time fan-out.
+Subscribe with `Events.On(name, handler)`. The handler receives `{ data: <typed payload> }`. The event name strings live next to their usage (no central registry on the TS side).
 
-| Event name | Payload | Emitted by | Consumed by |
+| Event name (string) | Payload | Emitted by | Consumed by |
 |---|---|---|---|
-| `netbird:status` | `Status` | `services/peers.go` | `StatusContext` (the only subscriber) |
-| `netbird:profile:changed` | `ProfileRef` | `services/profileswitcher.go SwitchActive` | `ProfileContext` — refreshes so a tray-initiated switch paints in the UI |
-| `netbird:update:state` | `UpdateState` | `services/peers.go fanOutUpdateEvents` + the updater's `progress_window:show` translator | `ClientVersionContext` — single source of truth for `updateAvailable / version / enforced / installing` |
-| `netbird:settings:open` | `string` (tab id) | `services/windowmanager.go OpenSettings` (before `Show`) | `SettingsPage` — `setActive(e.data)`. Reset-on-close is the `visibilitychange` listener, not this event. |
-| `netbird:preferences:changed` | `{ language }` | Go after `SetLanguage` / `SetViewMode` | `lib/i18n.ts` — calls `i18next.changeLanguage` so a flip from any window paints everywhere |
-| `browser-login:cancel` | (none) | `LoginWaitingForBrowserDialog` Cancel button **or** Go on window close | `MainConnectionStatusSwitch`'s `startLogin()` to abort the in-flight `WaitSSOLogin` |
-| `trigger-login` | (none) | `services.EventTriggerLogin` (reserved; no Go emitter today) | `MainConnectionStatusSwitch` subscribes and runs `startLogin()` |
+| `netbird:status` | `Status` | `services/peers.go statusStreamLoop` | `contexts/StatusContext` (`useStatus`) |
+| `netbird:event` | `SystemEvent` | `services/peers.go toastStreamLoop` | Not currently subscribed on the TS side — Status is read via `useStatus().status.events` instead. The tray (Go) consumes it for OS notifications. |
+| `netbird:profile:changed` | `ProfileRef` | `services/profileswitcher.go SwitchActive` | `contexts/ProfileContext` refreshes so a tray-initiated switch paints in the React UI. |
+| `netbird:update:available` | `UpdateAvailable` | `services/peers.go fanOutUpdateEvents` | Not directly subscribed on the TS side; `ClientVersionContext` derives `updateVersion` from `status.events` metadata instead. |
+| `netbird:update:progress` | `UpdateProgress` | same | Drives the tray. UI side: `WindowManager.OpenInstallProgress` is what opens the install window; the React listener for `installing` flips lives in `ClientVersionContext`. |

Reset-on-close is **not** driven by this event — see the `visibilitychange` listener in the same file. |
 
-`netbird:event`, `netbird:update:available`, and `netbird:update:progress` are emitted Go-side for the tray but **not** subscribed on the TS side — the UI derives the same info from `useStatus().status.events`.
+If you wire a new daemon-event subscriber on the TS side, prefer subscribing once at the context level rather than per-screen — the Wails event bus is process-wide and each `Events.On` adds an emit-time fan-out.
 
 ## Contexts and state
 
-State that crosses screens/windows lives in context, each provider mounted exactly once.
+State that crosses screens / windows lives in context. Each provider is mounted exactly once inside `AppLayout` or `SettingsLayout`.
 
-- **`useStatus`** (`StatusContext`) — `{ status, error, refresh, isReady, isDaemonAvailable, isDaemonUnavailable }`. Owns the single `DaemonFeed.Get` + `netbird:status` subscription and the daemon gate (see Layouts). `refresh()` after Connect/Disconnect to dodge a few hundred ms of event-stream lag.
-- **`ProfileContext`** — `username`, `activeProfile`, `profiles`, plus `refresh` / `switchProfile` / `addProfile` / `removeProfile` / `logoutProfile`. `switchProfile` delegates to `ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive` (the Go-side single source of truth — drives the optimistic-Connecting paint and `Peers` suppression). The other methods are thin wrappers over `Profiles.*` / `Connection.Logout` + a `refresh()`.
-- **`SettingsContext`** — `setField` / `saveField` / `saveFields` / `saveNow` over `Settings.GetConfig|SetConfig` with 400ms debounce. Renders `<SettingsSkeleton/>` while `config === null`. **PSK mask quirk:** `GetConfig` returns existing PSKs as `"**********"`; sending the mask back round-trips it into storage and `wgtypes.ParseKey` fails on the next connect — `save` drops the field when it equals the mask.
-- **`DebugBundleContext`** — stages `idle → preparing-trace → reconnecting → capturing → restoring-level → bundling → uploading → done`. Cancellable via `AbortController` at any stage; cancel restores the original log level best-effort. Upload URL is the hardcoded `NETBIRD_UPLOAD_URL`.
-- **`ClientVersionContext`** — seeds from `Update.GetState()`, subscribes to `netbird:update:state`; exposes `{ updateAvailable, updateVersion, enforced, installing, triggerUpdate, updating }`. Three branches:
-  1. `available && !enforced` — download-only; `UpdateVersionCard` → opens GitHub releases.
-  2. `available && enforced && !installing` — user-driven; `triggerUpdate` opens the install-progress window then calls `Update.Trigger()`.
-  3. `available && enforced && installing` — daemon already installing; the flip auto-opens the install-progress window.
-- **`NetworksContext`** — routed networks + exit nodes derived from `status.networks`; optimistic overrides for instant toggle feedback. **`PeerDetailContext`** — which peer detail panel is open in advanced view. **`NavSectionContext`** — the advanced-mode Peers/Networks tab selection.
+- **`useStatus`** (`contexts/StatusContext.tsx`) — `{ status, error, refresh, isReady, isDaemonAvailable, isDaemonUnavailable }`. The provider owns a single `Peers.Get()` + `netbird:status` subscription and renders `<DaemonUnavailableOverlay/>`. `refresh()` after Connect/Disconnect to dodge a few hundred ms of event-stream lag. Other contexts (e.g. `ProfileContext`) read the boolean flags to skip RPCs while the daemon socket is down.
 
-### View mode + no client-side persistence
+- **`ProfileContext`** (`modules/profiles/`) — `username`, `activeProfile`, `profiles`, plus `refresh` / `switchProfile` / `addProfile` / `removeProfile` / `logoutProfile`. `switchProfile` delegates to `ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive` (the Go-side single source of truth — drives the optimistic-Connecting paint and `Peers` suppression). The other methods are thin wrappers over `Profiles.*` / `Connection.Logout` plus a `refresh()`.
 
-`ViewModeProvider` (`contexts/ViewModeContext.tsx`, mounted in `MainPage`) owns `viewMode: "default" | "advanced"`, consumed via `useViewMode()`. `setViewMode` updates state, calls `Window.SetSize(width, <live frame height>)`, and persists via `Preferences.SetViewMode`. Widths live in `VIEW_WIDTH`: Default 380, Advanced 900. **The height is intentionally not asserted** — we read the current frame height via `Window.Size()` and pass it back, because Wails' macOS `windowSetSize` is `setFrame:` (frame, incl. ~28px title bar) while initial `windowNew` uses `initWithContentRect:` (content). Passing a constant would chop ~28px off the content area on the first switch. `main.go` opens the window at the saved width so there's no 380→900 flash on launch; the provider hydrates from `Preferences.Get()` on mount without triggering a resize.
+- **`SettingsContext`** (`modules/settings/`) — `setField` / `saveField` / `saveFields` / `saveNow` over `SettingsSvc.GetConfig|SetConfig` with 400ms debounce. Renders `<SettingsSkeleton/>` while `config === null` so tabs never see null. **PSK mask quirk:** `GetConfig` returns existing PSKs as `"**********"`; sending the mask back round-trips it into storage and `wgtypes.ParseKey` fails on the next connect. `save` drops the field when it equals `"**********"`.
 
-**No `localStorage` / `sessionStorage` / cookies anywhere** — persistence is the Go side's job: settings → `SetConfig`, language → `Preferences.SetLanguage`, view mode → `Preferences.SetViewMode`.
+- **`DebugBundleProvider` + `useDebugBundle`** (`contexts/DebugBundleContext.tsx`) — stages: `idle → preparing-trace → reconnecting → capturing → restoring-level → bundling → uploading → done`. Cancellable via `AbortController` at any stage; cancel restores the original log level best-effort. Wrapped in a context so the troubleshooting tab keeps stage across navigation. Upload URL is the hardcoded `NETBIRD_UPLOAD_URL`.
+
+- **`ClientVersionContext`** (`modules/auto-update/`) — seeds from `Update.GetState()` and subscribes to `netbird:update:state`; exposes `{ updateAvailable, updateVersion, enforced, installing, triggerUpdate, updating }`. **Three branches**:
+  1. `available && !enforced` — download-only. `UpdateVersionCard` shows "Version X is available for download" + "Download installer" → opens GitHub releases.
+  2. `available && enforced && !installing` — user-driven enforced. `UpdateVersionCard` shows "Version X is available for install" + "Install now" → `triggerUpdate` opens `/install-progress` window then calls `Update.Trigger()`.
+  3. `available && enforced && installing` — daemon already installing (force-install). The `installing` flip auto-opens `/install-progress` via `WindowManager.OpenInstallProgress`.
+
+### Default/Advanced view + no client-side persistence
+
+The `ViewModeProvider` (`src/lib/viewMode.tsx`, mounted in `AppLayout`) owns a `viewMode: "default" | "advanced"` state and is consumed by `Header.tsx`'s "more" dropdown via `useViewMode()`. `setViewMode` updates state, calls `Window.SetSize(width, <live frame height>)`, and persists via `Preferences.SetViewMode`. Widths live in `VIEW_WIDTH` at the top of `viewMode.tsx`: Default = 380, Advanced = 900. **The height is intentionally not asserted** — we read the current frame height via `Window.Size()` and pass it back, because Wails' macOS `windowSetSize` is implemented as `setFrame:` (frame, incl. ~28px title bar) while the initial `windowNew` uses `initWithContentRect:` (content). Passing a constant 640 would chop ~28px off the content area on the first switch and visually shift everything inside (the connect toggle is `justify-center` in a column that depends on the parent's height). Reusing the live height keeps content area stable across all switches. The view is persisted user-side (see Go-side `preferences.Store`): `main.go` opens the main window at the saved width so the user never sees a 380→900 flash on launch, and the provider hydrates its React state from `Preferences.Get()` in a mount effect (no resize triggered there — Go already sized it). **No `localStorage` / `sessionStorage` / cookies anywhere in the frontend** — persistence is the Go side's job (settings → `SetConfig`, language → `Preferences.SetLanguage`, view mode → `Preferences.SetViewMode`).
 
 ## Localisation (i18n)
 
-Bootstrap in `src/lib/i18n.ts`, awaited before render in `app.tsx`. It reads the current language from `Preferences.Get()`, glob-imports every bundle from the shared tree at `client/ui/i18n/locales/` (sibling of the Go i18n package — same JSON drives both tray and React), inits i18next with `fallbackLng: "en"` and `interpolation: { prefix: "{", suffix: "}" }`, and subscribes to `netbird:preferences:changed` so a flip from any window calls `i18next.changeLanguage` here.
+Bootstrap lives in `src/lib/i18n.ts` and is awaited before render in `app.tsx`. It reads the current language from `Preferences.Get()`, statically imports every bundle JSON (`en/common.json`, `de/common.json`, `hu/common.json` today) from the shared tree at `client/ui/i18n/locales/` (sibling of the Go i18n package — same JSON drives both tray and React), initialises i18next with `fallbackLng: "en"` and `interpolation: { prefix: "{", suffix: "}" }`, and subscribes to the `netbird:preferences:changed` Wails event so a flip from any window (tray, settings, another renderer) calls `i18next.changeLanguage` here.
 
-**First-run browser-language detection.** When no preferences file exists, `Preferences.Get()` returns `language: ""` (the Go "unset" signal). `initI18n` walks `navigator.language` + `navigator.languages`, lowercases each, and picks the first base code (`de` from `de-DE`) with a shipped bundle — then `Preferences.SetLanguage(detected)` fire-and-forget so the next launch reads it back. No match (or store unreachable) falls through to `en`. From the second launch the persisted value wins.
+**First-run browser-language detection.** When no preferences file exists, `Preferences.Get()` returns `language: ""` (the Go-side "unset" signal — `preferences.Store` no longer pre-fills a default). `initI18n` walks `navigator.language` + `navigator.languages`, lowercases each tag, and picks the first base code (`de` from `de-DE`) that has a shipped bundle — then calls `Preferences.SetLanguage(detected)` fire-and-forget so the next launch reads it back without re-detecting. If nothing matches (or the store is unreachable) the session falls through to `en`. From the second launch onward, the Go-side persisted value wins and detection is skipped. The tray (`localizer.go`) treats empty as English via its own fallback to `i18n.DefaultLanguage` so the first menu render before SetLanguage round-trips is still readable.
 
-**Usage.** Default to the hook:
+The frontend deliberately uses **no `localStorage` / `sessionStorage` / cookies anywhere** — persistence is the Go side's job (settings via `SettingsContext.save → SetConfig`, language via `Preferences.SetLanguage`). The previous wide-panel and settings-tab persistence experiments were removed; every window opens at its baseline state.
+
+**Usage in components.** Default to the hook:
 
 ```ts
 import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
 const { t } = useTranslation();
-t("settings.tabs.general");
-t("update.card.versionAvailable", { version: updateVersion }); // placeholders
+return <span>{t("settings.tabs.general")}</span>;
+// with placeholders:
+t("update.card.versionAvailable", { version: updateVersion })
 ```
 
-Outside React (module-scope event handlers, error titles) import the instance directly: `import i18next from "@/lib/i18n"`.
+For strings outside React (event handlers in modules, `Dialogs.Error` titles set from `useDebugBundle`, `useManagementUrl`, `ProfileContext`, `SettingsContext`) import the i18next instance directly:
 
-**Bundle files.** Keys live in `client/ui/i18n/locales/<code>/common.json` in Chrome-extension JSON shape: each key maps to `{ "message": "...", "description": "..." }`. `description` is translator context for Crowdin (read from the source file, ignored at runtime) — only `en/common.json` carries descriptions; target bundles carry just `message`. `lib/i18n.ts` strips each entry to its `message` when building the i18next `resources`, so `t()` lookups are unchanged. Placeholders use single braces: `"Install version {version}"`. Add a key to `en/common.json` first (the fallback), then to every other locale. Missing keys fall back to English, then to the key itself (so the gap is visible in the UI).
+```ts
+import i18next from "@/i18n";
+await Dialogs.Error({ Title: i18next.t("settings.error.saveTitle"), Message: ... });
+```
 
-**Translating bundles.** `client/ui/i18n/TRANSLATING.md` is the authoritative brief for actually producing or reviewing a translation — written for any translator (human or AI agent). It carries the product context, the file-format rules, the placeholder/`\n`/plural constraints (the app has only a one/other plural split — no ICU rules), the per-language do-vs-don't-translate glossary (e.g. "Exit Node" stays English in de/hu but is translated in ru/es/fr/it/pt/zh), and the new-language + review procedures. Read it before adding or editing any locale; keep its glossary/procedures current when conventions change.
+**Confirm dialogs.** `Dialogs.Warning` resolves with the **button label string** — not an index. After translation, those labels change per language. Pin the label into a variable so the comparison stays correct:
 
-**Adding a language.** Drop `client/ui/i18n/locales/<code>/common.json` (follow `TRANSLATING.md`) and append the row to `_index.json`. No flag asset is needed — `LanguagePicker.tsx` deliberately ships no flags ("flags represent countries, not languages"). `lib/i18n.ts` discovers bundles via `import.meta.glob('../../../i18n/locales/*/common.json', { eager: true })` (the tree lives outside `frontend/`, so `vite.config.ts` whitelists the parent dir under `server.fs.allow`) — no code change needed to wire a new locale.
+```ts
+const confirmLabel = t("profile.delete.message"); // wrong example — show your real key
+const cancelLabel = t("common.cancel");
+const result = await Dialogs.Warning({ Title, Message, Buttons: [
+  { Label: cancelLabel, IsCancel: true },
+  { Label: confirmLabel, IsDefault: true },
+]});
+if (result !== confirmLabel) return;
+```
 
-**What gets translated.** Every user-facing string. Don't add hard-coded English — add the key, then `t()`. Internal log strings and the `Update failed` fallback fed into `classifyError()` are not translated.
+Compare against the variable, never against an English literal.
 
-## Login flow (`startLogin` in `MainConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx`)
+**Bundle files.** Keys live in `client/ui/i18n/locales/<code>/common.json` as a flat key→string map (`"settings.tabs.general": "General"`). Placeholders use single braces: `"Install version {version}"`. Adding a key: add to `en/common.json` first (the fallback), then every other locale. Missing keys fall back to English; if even that misses, i18next returns the key itself so the gap is visible in the UI rather than blank.
 
-The SSO flow is a module-level `startLogin()` with a `loginInFlight` guard so a double-click can't fire two concurrent flows. Sequence:
+**Adding a language.** Drop `client/ui/i18n/locales/<code>/common.json` and append the row to `client/ui/i18n/locales/_index.json`. Also drop the matching `<code>.svg` into `src/assets/flags/1x1/` — source those from the NetBird dashboard repo's same-name folder so the icon set stays consistent: https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard/tree/main/public/assets/flags/1x1 . **Only check in flags for languages we actually ship** — `LanguagePicker.tsx` eager-globs that directory at build time, so every SVG in it gets bundled into the Wails app whether referenced or not. `src/lib/i18n.ts` discovers bundles via `import.meta.glob('../../../i18n/locales/*/common.json', { eager: true })` (the locales tree lives outside `frontend/`, so `vite.config.ts` whitelists the parent dir under `server.fs.allow`), so no code change is needed to wire the new locale in. Vite still inlines each bundle at build time, same chunk shape as static imports. The Go side reads the same tree (embedded via `client/ui/main.go`'s `embed.FS`), so the tray menu localises automatically off the same files.
+
+**Language picker.** `src/components/LanguagePicker.tsx` is mounted inside the Language section of `SettingsGeneral.tsx`. It populates from `I18n.Languages()` (matches `_index.json`) and calls `Preferences.SetLanguage(code)` on selection. The preference write triggers `netbird:preferences:changed`, which both the local i18next instance and every other open window listen to.
+
+**What gets translated.** Every user-facing string in the polished AppLayout/Settings/Update/BrowserLogin/SessionExpired/Peers surfaces. Don't add hard-coded user-facing English to new code — add the key, then `t()`. Internal log strings, dev-only forced-state strings in `ClientVersionContext`, and the `Update failed` fallback fed into `classifyError()` (which then renders a translated description) are not translated.
+
+## Login flow (`startLogin` in `ConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx`)
+
+The SSO flow is centralised in a module-level `startLogin()` with a `loginInFlight` guard so a double-click can't fire two concurrent flows. Sequence:
 
 1. `Connection.Login({})` with empty fields — Go fills in active profile + OS user.
-2. If SSO is needed (`needsSsoLogin`):
-   - `WindowManager.OpenBrowserLogin(uri)` opens the sign-in popup (hidden until React mounts and `useAutoSizeWindow` calls `Window.Show`).
-   - The dialog fires `Connection.OpenURL(uri)` from its mount effect (done from the dialog, not `startLogin`, so the browser doesn't race the still-hidden popup).
-   - `Promise.race(WaitSSOLogin, browser-login:cancel)`.
-   - On cancel: cancel the in-flight `WaitSSOLogin` gRPC so the daemon drops the abandoned device code.
+2. If the daemon needs SSO (`needsSsoLogin`):
+   - `WindowManager.OpenBrowserLogin(uri)` opens the auxiliary "waiting for sign-in" window (Hidden until React mounts and `useAutoSizeWindow` calls `Window.Show`).
+   - `LoginWaitingForBrowserDialog` mounts, gets shown by `useAutoSizeWindow`, then fires `Connection.OpenURL(uri)` from its mount effect — opens the verification page in the system browser (honors `$BROWSER`). Done from the dialog (not `startLogin`) so the browser doesn't race the still-hidden NetBird popup and land on top.
+   - `Promise.race(WaitSSOLogin, EVENT_BROWSER_LOGIN_CANCEL)` — whichever resolves first.
+   - On cancel: `Connection.Down()` to dislodge the daemon's pending `WaitSSOLogin` so the next Login starts fresh (see `services/connection.go:74`).
 3. `Connection.Up({})` to bring the new session up.
 
-`onSettled` (releasing the caller's React-level guard) fires the instant the flow ends — **before** the error dialog — never gated on the dialog. Errors that aren't cancellations surface via `errorDialog`. This is the only SSO entry point; there's no `/login` route — wire any new SSO trigger through here.
+Errors that aren't cancellations surface via `Dialogs.Error`.
+
+This is the only SSO entry point used by the polished Main UI. There is no `/login` route in `app.tsx`; if you add one, wire it up here rather than introducing a parallel SSO flow.
+
+## Components
+
+`src/components/` holds presentational primitives (no daemon RPCs, no router) — see the directory listing. Settings rows use `FancyToggleSwitch` inside `<SectionGroup title=…>` (section-group dimming via `disabled` → greyed + `pointer-events-none`). In-app modals use the Radix `Dialog` primitive in the main webview; the two auxiliary OS windows (Settings, BrowserLogin) are created Go-side via `WindowManager`.
 
 ## Dialogs convention
 
-**Errors → `errorDialog({Title, Message})` from `src/lib/errors.ts`** (which also exports `formatErrorMessage`), never `Dialogs.*` from `@wailsio/runtime`. Despite the name it opens the custom always-on-top `/#/dialog/error` window via `WindowManager.OpenError` (`modules/error/ErrorDialog.tsx`), not a native OS box. Use an action-named title ("Save Settings Failed", not "Error"). Title/message must already be localised. **`errorDialog()` resolves as soon as the window opens — it does not block until dismissed.**
+**Always go through `src/lib/dialogs.ts`** — `errorDialog` / `warningDialog` / `infoDialog` / `questionDialog`, not `Dialogs.*` from `@wailsio/runtime` directly. These thin wrappers force `Detached: true` on Windows (no-op elsewhere, and any caller-supplied `Detached` wins). A native Windows `MessageBox` attached to a parent window sets 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 (`main.go`) — the enable/hide sequence races and leaves the window unable to process its close (X) button afterwards. Detaching gives the box a NULL owner so no window is ever disabled. macOS keeps the attached sheet-style presentation. The wrappers re-export the same option shape, so call sites are otherwise unchanged.
 
-For **confirmations**, use `useConfirm()` from `contexts/DialogContext.tsx` — `const ok = await confirm({ title, description, confirmLabel, danger? })` resolves to a boolean. It renders a single shared `ConfirmModal` mounted at the provider level. Used by the Profiles tab and the management-server cloud switch.
-
-**Skip dialogs entirely** for inline form validation, transient link errors on the dashboard, and "partial success" notes inside an otherwise-OK flow. Full rationale in `../CLAUDE.md`.
+Errors → `errorDialog` with action-named title ("Save Settings Failed", not "Error"). Confirmations → `warningDialog` with explicit `Buttons` — compare against the **Label string**, not an index. **Skip** native dialogs for inline form validation, transient link errors on the dashboard, and "partial success" notes inside an otherwise-OK flow. Full API + per-OS notes in `../WAILS-DIALOGS.md`; full convention rationale in `../CLAUDE.md`.
 
 ## Tailwind tokens
 
-Defined in `tailwind.config.ts`. `nb-gray` is the neutral palette (background `nb-gray-950`); `netbird` is brand orange (`#f68330`). New code uses `nb-gray` + `netbird` + semantic dot colors (`green-500`, `red-500`, `yellow-500`). `bg-conic-netbird` and the `pulse-reverse` / `spin-slow` / `ping-slow` keyframes are used only by the connect toggle. Fonts: Inter Variable (sans) + JetBrains Mono Variable (mono), under `src/assets/fonts/`.

 ## Wails-specific quirks
 
-- **Window dragging.** Class `wails-draggable` on regions that should drag the OS window (headers, the Settings title strip, dialog wrappers). `wails-no-draggable` on interactive children inside a draggable region (buttons, inputs) — otherwise the drag swallows their click.
-- **Webview asset access.** Reference assets through Vite: `import url from "@/assets/.../foo.svg"`. Absolute filesystem paths don't work in dev or prod.
-- **`Window.SetSize(w, h)`.** Called from `ViewModeContext`'s `setViewMode`. Height is read fresh from `Window.Size()` and re-passed — see the View mode section for why a constant would shrink the content area.
-- **Main-window width.** Windows uses a slightly narrower content width than macOS to compensate for the OS frame Wails counts differently (`MainPage` → `isWindows() ? 364 : 380`; see wails/wails#3260).
-- **`Browser.OpenURL(url)`.** Used by `SettingsAbout` (legal links) and the BrowserLogin "Try again". `SettingsAbout` has a `window.open` fallback for when Wails refuses (non-http schemes are rejected).
+- **Window dragging.** Use class `wails-draggable` on regions that should drag the OS window (the Header, the SettingsLayout title strip, dialog wrappers like `ConfirmDialog`). Use `wails-no-draggable` on interactive children inside a draggable region (buttons, inputs) — otherwise the drag swallows their click.
+- **Webview asset access.** Background images / fonts go through Vite at build time, so reference them with `import url from "@/assets/.../foo.svg"`. The Wails dev server proxies `/` to Vite, but absolute filesystem paths won't work in either dev or prod.
+- **`Window.SetSize(w, h)`.** Called from `viewMode.tsx`'s `setViewMode` when the user flips the view-mode dropdown. Width comes from `VIEW_WIDTH` (380 / 900); height is read fresh from `Window.Size()` and re-passed, because Wails' macOS `windowSetSize` treats height as the frame (including title bar) while initial window creation treats it as content — re-asserting a constant would shrink the content area by one title-bar height. See the "Default/Advanced view" section above.
+- **`Browser.OpenURL(url)`.** Used by `SettingsAbout` for legal links and by the `BrowserLogin` page's "Try again". Has a `window.open` fallback in `SettingsAbout` for the case where Wails refuses (non-http schemes are rejected by Wails).
+
+## Things in flight (don't be surprised by)
+
+- **`screens/Peers.tsx`** uses live `Peers.Get` data. **`modules/peers/Peers.tsx`** uses `mockPeers.ts`. The mock-driven one is mounted under `Main.tsx`'s `AppRightPanel` and is what the user sees today; the real-data one isn't wired into the route table.
+- **`modules/session/SessionExpiredDialog.tsx`** and **`modules/session/SessionAboutToExpireDialog.tsx`** are the always-on-top auxiliary windows. No triggers wired today — a daemon-status hook (status `SessionExpired`, plus a future "about-to-expire" signal) will drive them later. Sign-in / Stay-connected emit `EventTriggerLogin` so the main window's `startLogin()` orchestrator handles the SSO flow; Logout uses `Connection.Logout({profileName, username})`.
