Zoltan Papp 6e23ed4da7 [client] Add error event publishing for rejected session deadlines (#6358)
* [client] Surface session deadline rejections via SystemEvent and add timer arm debug logs

When sessionwatch.Watcher.Update rejects a deadline (pre-epoch, too far
in the future, or past the clock-skew tolerance) it silently zeroes the
status recorder, leaving the UI with no "expires in" row and no
indication of why. Publish a SystemEvent_ERROR on the AUTHENTICATION
channel so the rejection appears in the UI event feed and the user
knows re-login may be required.

Also add Debugf log lines in armTimerLocked so that warning and
final-warning timer fire-times are visible in logs without having to
add instrumentation after the fact.

* [client] Remove verbose arm-timer debug logs from sessionwatch

The per-arm Debugf lines added noise on every deadline update.
Rejection logging already happens at the call site in engine_authsession.go;
the watcher itself needs no extra instrumentation.

* [client] Leave userMessage empty on deadline-rejected event; use metadata key

Daemon-layer PublishEvent userMessage strings are not localized — the UI
reads metadata keys and builds its own locale-aware copy (same pattern
as the session-warning events in event.go). Drop the hardcoded English
sentence from the deadline-rejected event and instead surface the
rejection reason via a new MetaSessionDeadlineRejected metadata key so
the UI can detect and localize it.

* [client] Revert silent deadline-rejected event; restore userMessage

MetaSessionDeadlineRejected had no UI consumer: the tray only does
metadata-driven localisation for MetaSessionWarning events; all other
SystemEvents display userMessage directly (tray_events.go). Leaving
userMessage empty made the rejection invisible to the user.

Restore the English userMessage so the generic event path shows
something, and remove the unused MetaSessionDeadlineRejected constant.

* [client] Localize session deadline rejected notification via metadata key

Follow the same pattern as session-warning events: the daemon emits an
empty userMessage and puts the signal in a typed metadata key
(MetaSessionDeadlineRejected); the UI tray detects the key and builds a
locale-aware OS notification from i18n strings.

Changes:
- sessionwatch/event.go: add MetaSessionDeadlineRejected constant
- engine_authsession.go: empty userMessage, use the new metadata key
- ui/authsession/warning.go: re-export MetaDeadlineRejected for UI consumers
- ui/tray_events.go: gate on isDeadlineRejected alongside isSessionWarning;
  new branch calls t.notify with localized title/body
- i18n locales (en/de/hu): add notify.sessionDeadlineRejected.{title,body}

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

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 --:

task dev -- --daemon-addr=tcp://127.0.0.1:41731

For pure UI work (no native window, fastest loop):

cd frontend && pnpm dev

Production build

task build

Output in bin/. Frontend assets are embedded into the binary.

Cross-compile Windows from Linux

Install the mingw-w64 toolchain once:

sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64           # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install mingw64-gcc                    # Fedora
sudo pacman -S mingw-w64-gcc                    # Arch

Then:

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:

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:

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:

task common:generate:tray:icons

Requires Inkscape. Commit the resulting assets/*.png files alongside the SVG change so CI doesn't need Inkscape installed.
