@@ -10,69 +10,12 @@ There are many ways that you can contribute:
 
 If you haven't already, join our slack workspace [here](https://docs.netbird.io/slack-url), we would love to discuss topics that need community contribution and enhancements to existing features.
 
-## Ticket first, PR second
-
-**Open a ticket and wait for feedback before you open a pull request.** Every PR
-that changes behavior must link to an issue the NetBird team has agreed on. A PR
-that arrives without one may be closed and redirected to a discussion, no matter
-how good the code is.
-
-Issues in this repository are maintainer-curated work items, so the flow starts
-in [Discussions](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions):
-
-1. **Open a discussion.** Use
-   [Issue Triage](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions/new?category=issue-triage)
-   for a bug, regression, or unexpected behavior, and
-   [Ideas & Feature Requests](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions/new?category=ideas-feature-requests)
-   for a feature, enhancement, or integration idea. Setup and usage questions
-   belong in
-   [Q&A / Support](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions/new?category=q-a-support).
-   Never report a security vulnerability in public — follow the
-   [security policy](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/security/policy)
-   instead.
-2. **Wait for feedback.** DevRel validates and reproduces the report, and a
-   maintainer confirms the direction. We may ask for more detail or propose a
-   different approach. Validated discussions become issues.
-3. **Then write the code**, following the approach agreed in the issue, and open
-   the PR linking that issue.
-
-Trivial fixes — a typo, a broken link, a documentation correction, or a one-line
-fix that already has an issue — can go straight to a PR. Everything else starts
-with a ticket. When in doubt, ask in the discussion or on
-[Slack](https://docs.netbird.io/slack-url); an hour of conversation up front
-regularly saves a week of rework.
-
-### High-risk areas
-
-These always need the design discussed and agreed in the issue **before** you
-write code:
-
-- **Public API** — REST / management API, OpenAPI schema, dashboard-facing contracts
-- **gRPC protocols** — management, signal, relay, and client daemon protos
-- **Functionality behavior** — anything existing deployments would experience differently after an upgrade
-- **Peer connectivity** — ICE and NAT traversal, relay selection, WireGuard® and Rosenpass key handling
-- **Client system integration** — routing, firewall, DNS, and interface management
-- **Authentication and authorization** — IdP integration, tokens, permissions, cryptography
-- **CLI / service flags**, configuration file format, and daemon IPC
-- **Store and database schema** — models and migrations
-- **New features**
-
-These surfaces are NetBird's contract with operators, self-hosters, and
-downstream integrators, and changes to them have compatibility, security, and
-release-planning implications. Agreeing on the direction early lets the PR
-review focus on implementation rather than design.
-
-Typical bug fixes, internal refactors, documentation updates, and tests do not
-need a design discussion, but should still be tied to an issue so the work is
-visible and nobody duplicates it.

-
-- Go ≥ 1.25
-- Node ≥ 20 and **pnpm** (`corepack enable && corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate`)
-- The `wails3` CLI: `go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@latest`
-- The `task` runner: `go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest`

-#### UI client
-
-The desktop UI lives in `client/ui` and is built with Wails v3 (see [Requirements](#ui-client---wails-v3--react)). All commands run from `client/ui`.
-
-Live-reload development (Vite + Go binary + `*.go` watcher):
-
-```
-cd client/ui
-task dev
-```
-
-Pass daemon flags after `--`, pointing the UI at the socket the daemon serves:
-
-```
-task dev -- --daemon-addr=unix:///var/run/netbird.sock   # Linux, macOS
-task dev -- --daemon-addr=npipe://netbird                # Windows
-```
-
-On Windows the daemon serves a named pipe (`npipe://netbird`). Which path that
-ends up being depends on what the daemon may create: as a service or elevated it
-serves `\\.\pipe\ProtectedPrefix\Administrators\netbird`, which no unprivileged
-process can take from it, and otherwise it falls back to `\\.\pipe\netbird`.
-Clients try both and check who owns the pipe before using the plain one. Avoid
-`tcp://127.0.0.1:41731`: loopback TCP carries no caller identity, so the daemon
-refuses the operations that require an administrator and you will not exercise
-those paths.
-
-Production build (frontend assets embedded into the binary, output in `client/ui/bin/`):
-
-```
-cd client/ui
-task build
-```
-
-Cross-compile the Windows binary from Linux (requires the mingw-w64 toolchain, e.g. `sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64`):

 ## Checklist before submitting a PR
-
-As a critical network service and open-source project, we must enforce a few
-things before submitting a pull request. The
-[pull request template](/.github/pull_request_template.md) mirrors this list —
-fill it in rather than deleting it.
-
-### Link the issue
-
-The PR description must link the agreed issue (or the validated discussion it
-came from). See [Ticket first, PR second](#ticket-first-pr-second).
-
-### Run it locally
-
-**If you can't run it, you can't submit it.** Build the affected components and
-exercise the change on a real setup — see [Build and start](#build-and-start).
-"CI will tell me" is not acceptable for a VPN agent that runs as root on other
-people's machines.
-
-### Green CI, and answer the bots
-
-We do not start reviewing while CI is red. Get the pipeline green first — a
-failing build, lint, or test means the PR is not ready for review.
-
-Alongside the test workflows, your PR is reviewed by CodeRabbit and scanned by
-SonarCloud, Snyk, and Codecov. Read what they report and either fix it or reply
-with why it does not apply; please do not resolve the threads without a
-response. They are not always right — this codebase has privileged,
-platform-specific, and concurrency-heavy paths that static analysis reads poorly
-— so push back when a finding is wrong rather than changing correct code to
-silence it. Security and dependency findings are the exception: treat those as
-real until shown otherwise. Do not edit workflows, thresholds, or scanner
-configuration to make a check pass.
-
-### One PR, one purpose
-
-Bug fix, refactor, feature: separate PRs. Mixed PRs are slow to review, hard to
-revert, and may be closed with a request to split them.
-
-### Keep it small
-
-Size is the strongest predictor of how long a PR waits for review. Aim for under
-roughly 400 changed lines across under 20 files. Past about 1000 lines or 50
-files, expect to be asked to split the change — and large PRs from outside the
-core team may be blocked until the scope has been agreed in a ticket. This is
-not only about reviewer time: NetBird's agent runs as root on other people's
-machines, and a sprawling diff cannot be reviewed with the care that deserves.
-
-Measure by hand-written code, excluding generated output, `go.sum`, and
-fixtures. If a change genuinely cannot be small — a protocol migration, a
-cross-component rename — agree the split in the issue before you start, and land
-it as a series of PRs that each build and make sense on their own.
-
-### Avoid force-pushing during review
-
-Once a PR is open, push new commits instead of rewriting history. A force-push
-detaches existing review comments from their lines, throws away the
-"changes since your last review" diff, and loses the CI history that showed
-which commit broke what. Since we squash on merge, there is nothing to gain from
-a tidy branch history.
-
-Force-pushing is sometimes unavoidable — rebasing to clear a real conflict, or
-removing a secret or large binary committed by mistake. When that happens, leave
-a comment on the PR so reviewers know their anchors moved.
-
-### Quality checks
-
-Run these from the repository root before pushing:
-
-```shell
-go fmt ./...
-make lint        # golangci-lint on files changed against origin/main
-make lint-all    # full-repository lint, matches CI
-make test-unit   # host-safe unit tests
-```
-
-`make setup-hooks` wires `make lint` into a pre-push hook so the fast lint runs
-automatically. If your change touches privileged paths (firewall, routing,
-interface management), also run `make test-privileged`, which executes the
-`privileged`-tagged suite inside a Docker container with `NET_ADMIN`.
-
-### Code standards
-
+As a critical network service and open-source project, we must enforce a few things before submitting the pull-requests:
 - Keep functions as simple as possible, with a single purpose
 - Use private functions and constants where possible
 - Comment on any new public functions
 - Add unit tests for any new public function
-- Comment the **why**, not the **what** — explain non-obvious decisions, invariants, and constraints, not the line below
-- Keep comments within 90 characters per line and roughly 250 characters per comment; when a block needs more explanation than that, extract a named function instead of writing a longer comment (see [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md#length-budget))
-
-### PR title and commits
-
-PR titles must start with a bracketed tag, enforced by
-[pr-title-check.yml](/.github/workflows/pr-title-check.yml):
-
-```text
-[client] Authorize daemon IPC callers by their local identity
-[management,client] Add MDM policy support
-```
-
-Use a comma-separated list inside a single pair of brackets when a change spans
-components. The `allowedTags` array in
-[pr-title-check.yml](/.github/workflows/pr-title-check.yml) is the source of
-truth — at the time of writing it accepts `management`, `client`, `signal`,
-`proxy`, `relay`, `misc`, `infrastructure`, `self-hosted`, and `doc`.
-
-Commit subjects follow the same convention — keep them short and put the
-reasoning in the body, why before what, with no bullet list of files changed.
-
-Keep the PR description itself under 1000 words on top of the template text.
-Reviewers read the diff; the description explains what the diff cannot.
 
 > When pushing fixes to the PR comments, please push as separate commits; we will squash the PR before merging, so there is no need to squash it before pushing it, and we are more than okay with 10-100 commits in a single PR. This helps review the fixes to the requested changes.
 
-### Documentation
-
-User-facing changes need a matching PR in
-[netbirdio/docs](https://github.com/netbirdio/docs); link it in the PR
-description, or state why documentation is not needed.
-
-## When we close a PR
-
-We would rather redirect early than let a PR sit. We may close one if:
-
-- It changes behavior with no linked issue, or the approach was never agreed with a maintainer
-- The change was clearly never run or tested locally
-- CI has been red without a response
-- It mixes unrelated purposes, or the purpose is not clear
-- It is far too large to review and the scope was never agreed in a ticket
-- The author cannot answer questions about their own change — including PRs that read as unreviewed model output, where review turns into a relay between the maintainer and an LLM. Tooling is fine; unreviewed output is not, you are responsible for the code you sign your name to
-- There has been no activity for 14 days after we requested changes
-
-A closed PR is not a rejected idea. Take it back to the
-[discussion](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions), settle the
-approach, and reopen the work from there.

 # Security Policy
 
-NetBird's goal is to provide a secure network. The client runs as a privileged service on every machine it is installed on,
-so we take reports about it seriously and we publish what we fix.
+NetBird's goal is to provide a secure network. If you find a vulnerability or bug, please report it by opening an issue [here](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug-issue-report.md&title=) or by contacting us by email.
+
+There has yet to be an official bug bounty program for the NetBird project.
+
+## Supported Versions
+- We currently support only the latest version
 
 ## Reporting a Vulnerability
 
-**Please do not open a public issue for a security vulnerability.** Public issues are visible to everyone, including before
-a fix is available.
-
-Report security issues one of these two ways:
-
-- **GitHub private vulnerability reporting** — [open a private report](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/security/advisories/new)
-  on this repository. This is the preferred route: it keeps the discussion, the draft advisory, and the credit in one place.
-- **Email** — `security@netbird.io`.
-
-If the finding affects NetBird Cloud or our hosted infrastructure rather than the open-source code, email us rather than
-filing a repository report.
-
-### What to include
-
-A report is easier to act on when it contains:
-
-- The affected component (client, management, signal, relay, dashboard) and the version or commit you tested
-- The platform and configuration, where relevant — operating system, self-hosted or NetBird Cloud, container or host install
-- What an attacker needs before they can exploit it: network position, an account, local access, a specific privilege level
-- Steps to reproduce, and a proof of concept if you have one
-- The impact you believe it has
-
-Partial reports are still welcome. If you are unsure whether something is a security issue, send it to `security@netbird.io`
-and let us make that call.
-
-## What to expect from us
-
-- **We acknowledge your report** and tell you whether we can reproduce it.
-- **We work with you on severity and scope.** If we assess it differently than you do, we will explain why rather than
-  silently downgrade it.
-- **We fix and release**, then publish a [GitHub Security Advisory](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/security/advisories)
-  naming the affected version range and the patched version.
-- **We credit reporters who want to be credited.** Tell us the name or handle you would like used, or that you would rather
-  stay anonymous.
-- **We keep you in the loop** until the advisory is published.
-
-We ask that you give us a reasonable opportunity to ship a fix before disclosing the issue publicly, and that you avoid
-accessing, modifying, or exfiltrating data belonging to other people while testing. Testing against your own installation
-or your own account is always fine.
-
-## Supported Versions
-
-We support the latest release. Security fixes ship in the next version rather than as backports to older releases, so
-upgrading to the current release is how you get them.
-
-Release notifications are available by watching [releases](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases).
-
-## Published advisories
-
-Every vulnerability we fix is published as a GitHub Security Advisory on the
-[advisories page](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/security/advisories), including the affected version range, the
-patched version, and the reporter's credit. Advisories for the Go module are also distributed through the Go vulnerability
-database, so `govulncheck` will report them against your dependencies.
-
-## Bug bounty
-
-There is no official bug bounty program for the NetBird project. We credit reporters in advisories, and we are grateful for
-the work, but we cannot currently offer payment for reports.
-
-## Non-security bugs
-
-For bugs that are not security issues, please use the
-[issue tracker](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions/new/choose).

-# NetBird Agent Network
-
-Agent Network is NetBird's access control layer for AI agents and the people who run them. 
-It gives every agent a real identity, tied to an identity provider (IdP), and governs what it can reach: LLM APIs and 
-AI gateways it can call, and the internal resources it can access. Traffic flows only over the encrypted NetBird tunnel, 
-scoped by policy, with no API keys or other credentials to leak. It also gives you control over cost and token usage.
-
-Because every LLM request passes through an
-identity-aware proxy, you can:
-
-- **Set spending and rate limits** per agent, per user, or per team — with hard caps
-  that stop requests once a budget is reached.
-- **Restrict models and providers** so agents can only call approved (and cost-appropriate)
-  endpoints, keeping expensive models off-limits unless explicitly allowed.
-- **Attribute usage** by tracking token consumption and cost per identity, group, or cost center so every
-  request is tied back to the agent and person responsible.
-- **Reuse your existing AI gateway** — point the proxy at a gateway you already run,
-  keeping its routing and config in place while it adds identity on top, so you skip
-  API key distribution.
-
-https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/44d18286-d8ab-49f8-a457-98ccd66f3268
-
-> **Beta.** Agent Network is in beta, but it's stable and already running in
-> production environments. It's fully open source and can be self-hosted on your own
-> infrastructure, with no vendor lock-in and no data leaving your environment.
-
-## How it works
-
-Say you have a simple use case: your Engineering or IT team needs access to Claude Code or Codex, and you want visibility into usage plus the ability to enforce budgets.
-How can you do that without creating a dedicated API key for every team?
-
-With Agent Network you get a private endpoint inside your network, for example: https://mirror.netbird.ai
-Teams configure their agents to point to that endpoint instead of using individual API keys directly. 
-
-This endpoint is only reachable when users are connected to your NetBird network and authenticated through your IdP. Otherwise, it is not accessible from the public internet.
-You can then use this private endpoint to configure your AI agents, whether that is Claude Code, Codex, or another tool.
-
-## Quickstart
-
-Full step-by-step setup:
-**https://docs.netbird.io/agent-network/quickstart**
-
-## Architecture 
-
-Agent Network is built on two existing NetBird capabilities:
-
-- **Overlay network** — the encrypted WireGuard mesh between peers.
-- **Reverse proxy** — a NetBird peer that terminates LLM requests, establishes the
-  caller's identity, evaluates policies/limits/guardrails, injects the upstream provider
-  key server-side, forwards to the API or gateway, and records usage.
-
-LLM traffic is routed through the proxy's identity-aware pipeline, while internal
-resources (databases, internal APIs, self-hosted models) are reached directly over
-peer-to-peer WireGuard tunnels, governed by the same identities and access policies.
-

-
-
-## Where the code lives
-
-There is no separate "agent-network" service — it reuses the reverse-proxy and management
-components:
-
-- [`proxy/`](../proxy) — the NetBird reverse proxy that serves the agent network endpoint
-  and runs the per-request middleware pipeline.
-- [`management/internals/modules/reverseproxy/`](../management/internals/modules/reverseproxy)
-  — the management-side control plane: providers, policies, guardrails, limits, routing,
-  and usage/access logs.
