-> **Keep these notes current.** When working in this directory with Claude, update this file (and `frontend/CLAUDE.md` for frontend-only changes) whenever you add a service, change an event name, shift a convention, rename a key directory, or land any other change that future-you would want to know about before reading the code. The goal is that a cold-start agent can orient itself from these notes without re-deriving the codebase.
-
-## Layout
-
-### 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_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.
-- `icons.go` — `//go:embed` tray/window PNGs. macOS uses template variants (`*-macos.png`); Linux ships light + dark PNGs; Windows reuses the light PNG (multi-frame `.ico` never redrew on Wails3's `NIM_MODIFY`).
-
-### Wails services (`services/*.go`)
-Each service is registered via `app.RegisterService(application.NewService(svc))`. Every method becomes a TS function in `frontend/bindings/.../services/`. Frontend-facing details (TS signatures, push events, models) are in `frontend/WAILS-API.md`. After editing any `services/*.go` or the proto, regenerate with `wails3 generate bindings -clean=true -ts` (or `pnpm bindings` from `frontend/`). `frontend/bindings/**` is gitignored.
-
-For frontend-side conventions (routing, providers, contexts) see `frontend/CLAUDE.md`.
-
-## Services rundown
-
-All services live in `services/` and assume a build tag `!android && !ios && !freebsd && !js`. Each takes a shared `DaemonConn` (`conn.go`) and is registered in `main.go`.
-
-| Service | File | Responsibility |
-|---|---|---|
-| `Connection` | `connection.go` | `Login` / `WaitSSOLogin` / `Up` / `Down` / `Logout` / `OpenURL`. `Up` is always async (`Async: true`); status flows back through `Peers`. `Login` Down-resets the daemon first to dislodge a stale WaitSSOLogin. `OpenURL` honors `$BROWSER`. |
-| `Settings` | `settings.go` | `GetConfig` / `SetConfig` (partial update — pointer fields are sent, nil fields preserved) / `GetFeatures` (operator-disabled UI surfaces). |
-| `Profiles` | `profile.go` | `Username` / `List` / `GetActive` / `Switch` / `Add` / `Remove`. `List` populates `Email` from the **user-side** state file (`profilemanager.NewProfileManager().GetProfileState`) — the daemon runs as root and can't read it. |
-| `ProfileSwitcher` | `profileswitcher.go` | `SwitchActive` — the single entry point both tray and frontend should use for profile flips. Applies the reconnect policy (see "Profile switching" below), mirrors the daemon switch into the user-side `profilemanager`, drives optimistic feedback via `Peers.BeginProfileSwitch`. |
-| `Peers` | `peers.go` | Daemon status snapshot + two long-running streams (`SubscribeStatus` → `EventStatus`, `SubscribeEvents` → `EventSystem`). Emits synthetic `StatusDaemonUnavailable` when the socket is unreachable. Owns the profile-switch suppression filter (`BeginProfileSwitch` / `CancelProfileSwitch` / `shouldSuppress`). Fan-outs update metadata into dedicated `EventUpdateAvailable` / `EventUpdateProgress` events. |
-| `Networks` | `network.go` | `List` / `Select` / `Deselect` of routed networks. |
-| `Forwarding` | `forwarding.go` | `List` exposed/forwarded services from the daemon's reverse-proxy table. |
-| `Debug` | `debug.go` | `Bundle` (debug bundle creation + optional upload) / `Get|SetLogLevel` / `RevealFile` (cross-platform "show in file manager"). |
-| `Update` | `update.go` | `GetState` / `Trigger` (enforced installer) / `GetInstallerResult` / `Quit`. The install-progress UI lives in its own auxiliary window (`/#/dialog/install-progress`), opened by `WindowManager.OpenInstallProgress` — the daemon goes unreachable mid-install so it can't be inside the main window. |
-| `WindowManager` | `windowmanager.go` | `OpenSettings(tab)` / `OpenBrowserLogin(uri)` / `CloseBrowserLogin` / `OpenSessionExpired` / `OpenSessionAboutToExpire(seconds)` / `OpenInstallProgress(version)` / `CloseInstallProgress`. `OpenSettings("")` opens the General tab; pass a tab id (e.g. `"profiles"`) to deep-link, encoded as `?tab=…` in the start URL. `OpenInstallProgress` is `AlwaysOnTop` and hides every other visible window for the duration of the install (restored on close). Auxiliary windows are created on first open and **destroyed** on close (Wails-recommended singleton pattern; prevents the macOS dock-reopen from resurrecting hidden windows). |
-| `I18n` | `i18n.go` | Thin facade over `i18n.Bundle`. `Languages()` returns the shipped locales (`_index.json`); `Bundle(code)` returns the full key→text map for one language so the React layer can drive its own translation library. |
-| `Preferences` | `preferences.go` | Thin facade over `preferences.Store`. `Get()` returns `{language, viewMode}`; `SetLanguage(code)` validates against `i18n.Bundle.HasLanguage` and persists; `SetViewMode(mode)` validates against the known set (`default`/`advanced`) and persists. Both broadcast `netbird:preferences:changed`. `main.go` reads `viewMode` from the store to size the main window at startup. |
-
-`DaemonConn` is defined in `services/conn.go`; `ptrStr` (string-to-*string helper for proto pointer fields) lives there too.
-
-## Daemon proto
-- Proto source: `../proto/daemon.proto`. Generated Go in `../proto/*.pb.go`.
-- Regen: `cd ../proto && protoc --go_out=. --go_opt=paths=source_relative --go-grpc_out=. --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative daemon.proto`
-- Pinned versions (see `daemon.pb.go` header): `protoc v7.34.1`, `protoc-gen-go v1.36.6`. CI's `proto-version-check` workflow fails on mismatch.
-- After proto regen, also regen Wails bindings so the TS layer picks up new fields.
-
-## Events bus
-
-`main.go` registers five typed events for the frontend: `netbird:status` (`Status`), `netbird:event` (`SystemEvent`), `netbird:profile:changed` (`ProfileRef`), `netbird:update:available` (`UpdateAvailable`), `netbird:update:progress` (`UpdateProgress`). `netbird:profile:changed` fires from `ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive` after a successful daemon-side switch — both the React `ProfileContext` and the tray subscribe so a flip driven from one surface paints in the others (the daemon itself does not emit a profile event). Plus three plain-string events:
-
-- `EventTriggerLogin = "trigger-login"` — tray asking the frontend's `startLogin()` to begin an SSO flow. The tray does **not** show the main window when emitting — the hidden webview is alive and subscribed, so `startLogin` runs and the only visible surface is the BrowserLogin popup it opens.
-- `EventBrowserLoginCancel = "browser-login:cancel"` — the `BrowserLogin` window's Cancel button or red-X close. `startLogin()` listens and tears down the daemon's pending `WaitSSOLogin`.
-- `preferences.EventPreferencesChanged = "netbird:preferences:changed"` — emitted after every successful `SetLanguage` (payload `{language}`). Both the tray menu rebuild and the React `i18next.changeLanguage` subscribe so a flip from any window paints everywhere.
-- `EventSettingsOpen = "netbird:settings:open"` (payload: tab string, e.g. `"general"` / `"profiles"`) — emitted by `WindowManager.OpenSettings(tab)` to set the active tab before Go calls `Show`/`Focus`. The matching reset-to-General on close lives in the React side via `document.visibilitychange` (Wails events from the Go close hook race `Hide` and flash the previous tab for one frame).
-
-Daemon connection status strings (`services/peers.go`) mirror `internal.Status*` in `client/internal/state.go`: `Connected`, `Connecting`, `Idle`, `NeedsLogin`, `LoginFailed`, `SessionExpired`, plus the synthetic `DaemonUnavailable` emitted by `Peers` when the socket is unreachable.
-
-## Profile switching
-
-`services/profileswitcher.go` is the single source of truth for the reconnect policy. Both the tray (`tray.go switchProfile`) and the frontend (via `modules/profiles/ProfileContext.tsx`'s `switchProfile`, which `modules/profiles/ProfilesTab.tsx` and the header `ProfileDropdown` go through) call `ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive`; identical inputs give identical state transitions.
-
-Reconnect policy (driven by `prevStatus` from `Peers.Get`):
-
-| Previous status | Action | Optimistic UI | Suppressed events until new flow begins |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Connected | Switch + Down + Up | Connecting (synthetic) | Connected, Idle |
-| Connecting | Switch + Down + Up | Connecting (unchanged) | Connected, Idle |
-| NeedsLogin / LoginFailed / SessionExpired | Switch + Down | (no change) | — |
-| Idle | Switch only | (no change) | — |
-
-Only Connected/Connecting trigger `Peers.BeginProfileSwitch`. That:
-1. Sets a 30s `switchInProgress` guard.
-2. Emits a synthetic `Status{Status: StatusConnecting}` so both tray and React paint immediately.
-3. Tells `statusStreamLoop` to drop the daemon's stale Connected updates (peer count drops as the engine tears down) and the transient Idle in between Down and the new Up.
-
-`shouldSuppress` releases the guard as soon as a status that signals the new flow began arrives:
-- **Suppressed**: Connected, Idle
-- **Pass through and clear**: Connecting / NeedsLogin / LoginFailed / SessionExpired / DaemonUnavailable
-- **Timeout fallback**: 30s elapsed → clear flag, emit normally.
-
-`Peers.CancelProfileSwitch` aborts the suppression — called by `tray.go handleDisconnect` so the user's "Disconnect while Connecting" click paints through immediately.
-
-Also: `ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive` mirrors the daemon switch into the user-side `profilemanager` (`~/Library/Application Support/netbird/active_profile`). The CLI's `netbird up` reads this file and sends the resolved profile name back; if it diverges from the daemon's `/var/lib/netbird/active_profile.json`, the daemon silently flips back. Mirror failures don't abort the switch — surfaced as a warning.
-
-## Auxiliary windows (`WindowManager`)
-
-The main window is created up front in `main.go`. Auxiliary windows are created on demand by `services.WindowManager`:
-
-- **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.
-- **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).
-
-The four lazy auxiliary windows (BrowserLogin, SessionExpired, SessionAboutToExpire, InstallProgress) are **destroyed** on close (mutex-guarded singleton; `closing` hook nils the field). Destroying rather than hiding is deliberate — Wails' macOS dock-reopen handler resurrects hidden windows, which we don't want for transient surfaces. Settings is the exception: it's created hidden up-front and uses a `RegisterHook` close interceptor (`e.Cancel(); Hide()`) to keep the webview warm.
-
-On macOS, `main.go` overrides Wails' default `applicationShouldHandleReopen` listener (which shows *every* hidden window — see `pkg/application/events_common_darwin.go`) by registering an application event hook that cancels the event and shows only the main window. Without this, clicking the dock icon would resurrect the hide-on-close Settings window alongside the main one.
-
-The main window is **hidden** on close (the `WindowClosing` hook calls `e.Cancel(); window.Hide()`). The user reaches "really quit" through the tray → Quit menu entry.
-
-## Localisation (i18n)
-
-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: "}" }`.
-
-Adding a language: drop a `<code>/common.json` under `client/ui/i18n/locales/`, append a row to `_index.json`, rebuild. Go reads the tree via `//go:embed all:i18n/locales` in `client/ui/main.go`; Vite reads it via the `../../../i18n/locales/*/common.json` glob in `frontend/src/lib/i18n.ts`, with `server.fs.allow` in `vite.config.ts` whitelisting the parent dir so the dev server can serve files outside `frontend/`.
-
-Package layout:
-- `client/ui/i18n/` — pure `LanguageCode` / `Language` / `Bundle` loader. No Wails / no daemon. Reads the tree from an `fs.FS` passed in by `main.go`.
-- `client/ui/preferences/` — `Store` persists `UIPreferences{language}` to `os.UserConfigDir()/netbird/ui-preferences.json` (per-OS-user, shared across daemon profiles). Validates against an injected `LanguageValidator` (`*i18n.Bundle`). No file → in-memory default `en`, persisted on first `SetLanguage`. Broadcasts via in-process pub/sub + optional Wails event emitter.
-- `services/i18n.go` + `services/preferences.go` — Wails facades. Preferences emits `netbird:preferences:changed` (payload `{language}`) on every `SetLanguage`.
-
-Key conventions: `tray.*` / `notify.*` (Go-side), `common.* / connect.* / nav.* / profile.* / settings.* / update.* / browserLogin.* / sessionExpired.* / peers.*` (frontend). Keep keys stable — renames cascade everywhere.
-
-## Linux tray support
-
-The in-process `StatusNotifierWatcher` + XEmbed host that lets the tray work on minimal WMs is detailed in `LINUX-TRAY.md` (sibling). Touch that doc when modifying `tray_watcher_linux.go` / `xembed_host_linux.go` / `xembed_tray_linux.{c,h}`.
-
-## Wails Dialogs (frontend, `@wailsio/runtime`)
-
-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 → native dialogs
-
-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.
-
-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`.
-
-**Skip native dialogs** 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 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`.
-
-### 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.
-
-**Never call `Connection.Up` on an Idle/NeedsLogin daemon** — the daemon's internal 50s `waitForUp` blocks until `DeadlineExceeded`. `Connection.Up` from the frontend is reserved for the explicit Connect button (`ConnectionStatusSwitch.connect`) and the post-SSO resume inside `startLogin`; the gating for profile-switch reconnects lives Go-side in `ProfileSwitcher.SwitchActive`.
-
-## Build / dev tasks
-
-`task dev` (Wails dev, live reload), `task build` (prod build for the current OS, dispatches to `build/{darwin,linux,windows}/Taskfile.yml`), `task build:server` / `run:server` / `build:docker` / `run:docker` (server-mode variants in `build/Taskfile.yml`). **No** `task generate:bindings` alias — run `wails3 generate bindings -clean=true -ts` directly from this directory. CLI flags + log-target semantics are documented in the `main.go` bullet under "Layout".

-# Linux tray support (StatusNotifierWatcher + XEmbed)
-
-Minimal WMs (Fluxbox, OpenBox, i3, dwm, vanilla GNOME without the AppIndicator extension) don't ship a `StatusNotifierWatcher`, so tray icons using libayatana-appindicator / freedesktop StatusNotifier silently fail. `main.go` calls `startStatusNotifierWatcher()` *before* `NewTray` so the Wails systray's `RegisterStatusNotifierItem` call hits the in-process watcher we control.
-
-- `tray_watcher_linux.go` — owns `org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher` on the session bus if no other process has it. Safe to call unconditionally.
-- `xembed_host_linux.go` + `xembed_tray_linux.{c,h}` — when an XEmbed tray (`_NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_S0`) is available, also start an in-process XEmbed host that bridges the SNI icon into the XEmbed tray. Reads `IconPixmap` over D-Bus, draws via cairo+X11, polls for clicks, fetches `com.canonical.dbusmenu.GetLayout` for the popup menu, fires `com.canonical.dbusmenu.Event` on click.
-
-Build is gated on `linux && !386`; the 386 build (no cgo) and non-Linux builds use the `tray_watcher_other.go` no-op.

-# NetBird desktop UI (Wails3 + React)
-
-Replaces `client/ui` (Fyne). One binary on Windows / macOS / Linux,
-talks to the NetBird daemon over gRPC, renders a React frontend in a
-WebView.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Go ≥ 1.25, Node ≥ 20, **pnpm** (`corepack enable && corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate`)
-- `wails3` CLI: `go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@latest`
-- `task`: `go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest`
-- A running NetBird daemon (default: `unix:///var/run/netbird.sock`,
-  Windows `tcp://127.0.0.1:41731`)
-- Linux only: `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev`, `libgtk-3-dev`,
-  `libayatana-appindicator3-dev`
-
-## Develop without rebuilding
-
-```bash
-cd client/ui
-task dev
-```
-
-`task dev` runs Vite (port 9245) + the Go binary + a `*.go` watcher.
-Frontend edits hot-reload instantly. Go edits trigger a rebuild and
-relaunch. Pass daemon flags after `--`:
-
-```bash
-task dev -- --daemon-addr=tcp://127.0.0.1:41731
-```
-
-For pure UI work (no native window, fastest loop):
-
-```bash
-cd frontend && pnpm dev
-```
-
-## Production build
-
-```bash
-task build
-```
-
-Output in `bin/`. Frontend assets are embedded into the binary.
-
-### Cross-compile Windows from Linux
-
-Install the mingw-w64 toolchain once:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64           # Debian/Ubuntu
-sudo dnf install mingw64-gcc                    # Fedora
-sudo pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc                    # Arch
-```
-
-Then:
-
-```bash
-CGO_ENABLED=1 task windows:build
-```
-
-Produces `bin/netbird-ui.exe`. macOS cross-compile from Linux is not
-supported (signing and notarization need a real Mac).
-
-### Windows console build (logs in the terminal)
-
-Default `windows:build` links the binary as a Windows GUI app, which
-detaches from the launching console — `logrus` output, `fmt.Println`,
-and panics go nowhere visible. To debug tray/event/daemon issues:
-
-```bash
-CGO_ENABLED=1 task windows:build:console
-```
-
-Produces `bin/netbird-ui-console.exe`. Run it from `cmd.exe` /
-PowerShell / Windows Terminal and stdout/stderr land in that
-terminal. Same flag works on a native Windows build (drop the
-`CGO_ENABLED=1` if your toolchain already has it set).
-
-## Regenerating bindings
-
-When a Go service signature changes:
-
-```bash
-wails3 generate bindings
-```
-
-`task dev` does this automatically on `*.go` save.
-
-## Tray icons
-
-Source SVGs live in `assets/svg/` (state.svg + state-macos.svg). After editing
-any SVG, rasterize to the PNGs the Go side embeds:
-
-```bash
-task common:generate:tray:icons
-```
-
-Requires Inkscape. Commit the resulting `assets/*.png` files alongside the
-SVG change so CI doesn't need Inkscape installed.

-# Wails Dialogs (frontend, `@wailsio/runtime`)
-
-The frontend dialog API lives in `@wailsio/runtime` as `Dialogs`. Authoritative signatures are in
-`frontend/node_modules/@wailsio/runtime/types/dialogs.d.ts`.
-
-See `CLAUDE.md` for project conventions on *when* to use these (errors vs. inline validation, confirmation flow, etc.).
-
-## Message dialogs
-
-```ts
-import { Dialogs } from "@wailsio/runtime";
-
-await Dialogs.Info({ Title, Message, Buttons?, Detached? });
-await Dialogs.Warning({ Title, Message, Buttons?, Detached? });
-await Dialogs.Error({ Title, Message, Buttons?, Detached? });
-await Dialogs.Question({ Title, Message, Buttons?, Detached? });
-```
-
-All four return `Promise<string>` resolving to the **Label** of the button the user clicked. With no `Buttons` provided you get a single OK button — the promise just resolves when the user dismisses.
-
-`MessageDialogOptions` fields:
-- `Title?: string` — window title (short).
-- `Message?: string` — the body text.
-- `Buttons?: Button[]` — custom buttons. Each `Button` is `{ Label?, IsCancel?, IsDefault? }`. `IsCancel` is what Esc/⌘. triggers; `IsDefault` is what Enter triggers.
-- `Detached?: boolean` — when `true`, the dialog isn't tied to the parent window (no sheet behavior on macOS).
-
-## File dialogs
-
-`Dialogs.OpenFile(options)` and `Dialogs.SaveFile(options)` — see `dialogs.d.ts` for the full `OpenFileDialogOptions` / `SaveFileDialogOptions` field set (filters, ButtonText, multi-select, hidden files, alias resolution, directory mode, etc).
-
-## Per-OS behavior
-
-| Platform | Behavior |
-|---|---|
-| **macOS** | Sheet-style when attached to a parent window. Up to ~4 custom buttons render naturally. Keyboard: Enter = default, ⌘. or Esc = cancel. Follows system theme. Accessibility is built-in. |
-| **Windows** | Modal `TaskDialog`-style. Standard button labels are nudged toward OS conventions. Keyboard: Enter = default, Esc = cancel. Follows system theme. |
-| **Linux** | GTK dialogs — appearance varies by desktop environment (GNOME/KDE). Follows desktop theme. Standard keyboard nav. |
-
-Behavioural notes that affect us:
-- The promise resolves with the **button label string**, not an index. Compare against the literal `Label` you passed (e.g. `if (result !== "Delete") return;`).
-- `Buttons[]` on Linux/Windows uses the labels you supply, but the OS layout/styling is fixed.
-- `Dialogs.Error` plays the platform error sound and uses the platform error icon. Don't use it for confirmations — use `Dialogs.Warning` or `Dialogs.Question`.
-- Don't fire dialogs in a tight loop or from every keystroke — they interrupt focus and (on macOS) animate in/out. Debounce or guard with a `busy` flag.
-
-## Frameless / custom-window dialogs (Go side)
-
-When the native dialog API isn't enough — rich content, embedded webview, multi-screen flow — open a regular Wails window. This is done on the **Go side** via `app.Window.NewWithOptions(application.WebviewWindowOptions{...})`. Useful options:
-- `Parent` — attach to a parent so OS treats it as a child.
-- `AlwaysOnTop: true` — float above the parent.
-- `Frameless: true` — no titlebar/chrome.
-- `Resizable: false` (also `DisableResize: true` in v3) — fixed-size dialog feel.
-- `Hidden: true` initially, then `dialog.Show()` + `dialog.SetFocus()`.
-
-We **do** use this pattern, but pragmatically: `WindowManager.OpenSettings` and `OpenBrowserLogin` are regular small webview windows (not modal sheets) with no resize, hidden minimise/maximise buttons, and a translucent macOS title bar. They're not classic "OS modal dialogs"; they're just lightweight ancillary windows that look the part. Modal behaviour (`parent.SetEnabled(false)`) is intentionally not used — the user can still click back to the main window.
-
-In-app modals (`NewProfileDialog`, delete-profile confirmation, etc.) are Radix `Dialog` primitives inside the main webview. Reach for a custom OS window only when content must escape the main window (BrowserLogin is the canonical example — its lifecycle is tied to the SSO wait) or when the window needs its own taskbar entry / dock icon.
