For large tailnets (~50k+ nodes) with frequent peer churn (ephemeral
GitHub Actions workers etc.), tailscaled used to rebuild the full
netmap and fan it out on the IPN bus on every MapResponse that
added or removed a peer. Two compounding O(N) costs per delta: the
full netmap rebuild + every Notify.NetMap encode to every bus watcher.
This change tackles both:
1. Plumb O(1) peer add/remove through the delta path. PeersChanged
and PeersRemoved no longer veto the delta path; instead they
mutate the per-node-backend peer map in place.
2. Restrict ipn.Notify.NetMap emission to the platforms whose host
GUIs still depend on it (Windows, macOS, iOS) and migrate
in-tree consumers off it everywhere else:
- Migrate reactive consumers (containerboot, kube agents,
sniproxy, tsconsensus, etc.) off Notify.NetMap to the
previously-added Notify.SelfChange signal so they no longer
have to subscribe to the full netmap.
- Add ipn.NotifyNoNetMap so GUI clients on legacy-emit platforms
that have already migrated can opt out of the per-watcher
NetMap encode.
- Gate Notify.NetMap emission on the producer side by a compile-
time GOOS check, so the supporting code is dead-code-eliminated
on Linux and other geese where no GUI consumer needs it.
Re-running BenchmarkGiantTailnet from tstest/largetailnet, which was
added along with baseline numbers on unmodified main in ad5436af0d57,
the per-delta cost (one peer add+remove pair) is now ~O(1) regardless
of tailnet size N:

Add a narrow LocalAPI accessor and matching client/LocalBackend method
to look up a single peer's current full [tailcfg.Node] by NodeID, in
O(1) time on the daemon side, without fetching the entire netmap.
Useful for callers that need the latest state of a single peer (e.g.
in response to a peer-mutation event on the IPN bus) without paying
for a full netmap fetch.

Add two narrow LocalAPI accessors so callers don't have to subscribe to
the IPN bus and pull a full *netmap.NetworkMap just to read DNS-shaped
fields:
- GET /localapi/v0/cert-domains returns DNS.CertDomains.
- GET /localapi/v0/dns-config returns the full tailcfg.DNSConfig.
Migrate in-tree callers off the netmap-on-the-bus pattern:
- kube/certs.waitForCertDomain still wakes on the IPN bus but now
queries CertDomains via LocalClient.CertDomains rather than
reading n.NetMap.DNS.CertDomains. The kube LocalClient interface
and FakeLocalClient gain a CertDomains method.
- cmd/tailscale dns status calls LocalClient.DNSConfig directly
instead of opening a NotifyInitialNetMap watcher.
- cmd/tailscale configure kubeconfig switches from a netmap watcher
+ serviceDNSRecordFromNetMap to LocalClient.DNSConfig +
serviceDNSRecordFromDNSConfig.
This is part of a series moving callers away from depending on the
netmap traveling on the IPN bus, so the bus payload can shrink in a
later change.

Add two narrower accessors alongside the existing
[LocalBackend.NetMap], with docs that distinguish their semantics:
- NetMapNoPeers: cheap (returns the cached *netmap.NetworkMap with
a possibly-stale Peers slice). For callers that only read non-Peers
fields like SelfNode, DNS, PacketFilter, capabilities.
- NetMapWithPeers: documented as returning an up-to-date Peers slice.
For callers that genuinely need to iterate Peers or call
PeerByXxx.
Mark the existing NetMap deprecated and point readers at the two new
accessors. NetMap, NetMapNoPeers, and NetMapWithPeers all currently
return the same value (b.currentNode().NetMap()): this commit is a
no-op behaviorally, just a renaming and migration of in-tree callers.
A subsequent change in the same series will switch
NetMapWithPeers to actually rebuild the Peers slice from the live
per-node-backend peers map (O(N) per call), at which point the
distinction between the two new accessors becomes load-bearing.
Migrate in-tree callers to the appropriate accessor based on what
fields they read:
- NetMapNoPeers (most common): localapi handlers, peerapi accept,
GetCertPEMWithValidity, web client noise request, doctor DNS
resolver check, tsnet CertDomains/TailscaleIPs, ssh/tailssh
SSH-policy/cap reads, several LocalBackend internals
(isLocalIP, allowExitNodeDNSProxyToServeName, pauseForNetwork
nil-check, serve config).
- NetMapWithPeers: writeNetmapToDiskLocked (persist full netmap to
disk for fast restart), PeerByTailscaleIP lookup.
Tests still call the legacy NetMap; they'll see the deprecation
warning but otherwise behave identically.
Also add two pieces of plumbing the next change in this series will
need, but which are already useful on their own:
- [client/local.GetDebugResultJSON]: a generic [Client.DebugResultJSON]
that decodes directly into a target type T, avoiding the
marshal/unmarshal roundtrip callers otherwise need.
- localapi "current-netmap" debug action: returns the current
netmap (with peers) as JSON. Documented as debug-only — the
netmap.NetworkMap shape is internal and may change without notice.
This commit is part of a series breaking up a larger change for
review; on its own it is a no-op refactor.

Add a tsdial.Dialer.UserDialPlan method that resolves an address and
reports whether the dialer would route it via Tailscale. The LocalAPI
/dial handler now uses this to skip proxying for addresses that aren't
Tailscale routes (e.g. localhost), returning a Dial-Self response with
the resolved address so the client can dial it directly. This avoids
an unnecessary round-trip through the daemon for local connections.
The client's UserDial handles the new response by dialing the resolved
address itself, and the server passes the pre-resolved IP:port for
Tailscale dials to avoid redundant DNS lookups.
Thanks to giacomo and Moyao for pointing this out!

TestPackageDocs walked into directories starting with "." (such as
.claude worktrees) and only logged warnings on duplicate package docs
across files in a directory. Skip dot-directories (which covers the
old .git but also .claude), ignore files with "//go:build ignore" so
command files don't falsely trip the duplicate check, and promote the
duplicate-doc warning to a t.Errorf.
While here, deduplicate the package docs that were previously only
logged: drop the redundant comment from client/systray/startup-creator.go,
move the comprehensive taildrop doc into feature/taildrop/doc.go, and
remove a leftover doc fragment from feature/condlite/expvar/omit.go.
The tstest/integration/vms allowlist is no longer needed since the
//go:build ignore filter now handles its dns_tester.go and udp_tester.go

This amends the session creation and auth status querying logic of the device UI
backend. On creation of new browser sessions we now store a PendingAuth flag
as part of the session that indicates a pending auth process that needs to be
awaited. On auth status queries, the server initiates a polling for the auth result
if it finds this flag to be true. Once the polling is completes, the flag is set to false.
Why this change was necessary: with regular browser settings, the device UI
frontend opens the control auth URL in a new tab and starts polling for the
results of the auth flow in the current tab. With certain browser settings (that
we still want to support), however, the auth URL opens in the same tab, thus
aborting the subsequent call to auth/session/wait that initiates the polling,
and preventing successful registration of the auth results in the session
status. The new logic ensures the polling happens on the next call to /api/auth
in these kinds of scenarios.
In addition to ensuring the auth wait happens, we now also revalidate the auth
state whenever an open tab regains focus, so that auth changes effected in one
tab propagate to other tabs without the need to refresh. This improves the
experience for all users of the web client when they've got multiple tabs open,
regardless of their browser settings.

This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

Add and wire up event publishers for these two event types in the AppConnector.
Nothing currently subscribes to them, so this is harmless. Subscribers for
these events will be added in a near-future commit.
As part of this, move the appc.RouteInfo type to the types/appctype package.
It does not contain any package-specific details from appc. Beside it, add
appctype.RouteUpdate to carry route update event state, likewise not specific
to appc. Update all usage of the appc.* types throughout to use appctype.*
instead, and update depaware files to reflect these changes.
Add a Close method to the AppConnector to make sure the client gets cleaned up
when the connector is dropped (we re-create connectors).
Update the unit tests in the appc package to also check the events published
alongside calls to the RouteAdvertiser.
For now the tests still rely on the RouteAdvertiser for correctness; this is OK
for now as the two methods are always performed together. In the near future,
we need to rework the tests so not require that, but that will require building
some more test fixtures that we can handle separately.

A customer wants to allow their employees to restart tailscaled at will, when access rights and MDM policy allow it,
as a way to fully reset client state and re-create the tunnel in case of connectivity issues.
On Windows, the main tailscaled process runs as a child of a service process. The service restarts the child
when it exits (or crashes) until the service itself is stopped. Regular (non-admin) users can't stop the service,
and allowing them to do so isn't ideal, especially in managed or multi-user environments.
In this PR, we add a LocalAPI endpoint that instructs ipnserver.Server, and by extension the tailscaled process,
to shut down. The service then restarts the child tailscaled. Shutting down tailscaled requires LocalAPI write access
and an enabled policy setting.
