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'

for some types. So it should be light. But it was depending on the
"regexp" packge, which I'd like to remove from our minimal builds.

Fix "file not found" errors when WebDAV clients access files/dirs inside
directories with spaces.
The issue occurred because StatCache was mixing URL-escaped and
unescaped paths, causing cache key mismatches.
Specifically, StatCache.set() parsed WebDAV responses containing
URL-escaped paths (ex. "Dir%20Space/file1.txt") and stored them
alongside unescaped cache keys (ex. "Dir Space/file1.txt").
This mismatch prevented StatCache.get() from correctly determining whether
a child file existed.
See https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/13632#issuecomment-3243522449
for the full explanation of the issue.
The decision to keep all paths references unescaped inside the StatCache
is consistent with net/http.Request.URL.Path and rewrite.go (sole consumer)
Update unit test to detect this directory space mishandling.

This adds support for having every viewer type implement
jsonv2.MarshalerTo and jsonv2.UnmarshalerFrom.
This provides a significant boost in performance
as the json package no longer needs to validate
the entirety of the JSON value outputted by MarshalJSON,
nor does it need to identify the boundaries of a JSON value
in order to call UnmarshalJSON.
For deeply nested and recursive MarshalJSON or UnmarshalJSON calls,
this can improve runtime from O(N²) to O(N).
This still references "github.com/go-json-experiment/json"
instead of the experimental "encoding/json/v2" package
now available in Go 1.25 under goexperiment.jsonv2
so that code still builds without the experiment tag.
Of note, the "github.com/go-json-experiment/json" package
aliases the standard library under the right build conditions.

Instead of calculating the PeerAPI URL at the time that we add the peer,
we now calculate it on every access to the peer. This way, if we
initially did not have a shared address family with the peer, but
later do, this allows us to access the peer at that point. This
follows the pattern from other places where we access the peer API,
which also calculate the URL on an as-needed basis.
Additionally, we now show peers as not Available when we can't get
a peer API URL.
Lastly, this moves some of the more frequent verbose Taildrive logging
from [v1] to [v2] level.

Fix the index out of bound panic when a request is made to the local
fileserver mux with a valid secret-token, but missing share name.
Example error:

Additionally, we document the edge case behavior of utilities that
this fileserver mux depends on.

Clients often perform a PROPFIND for the parent directory before
performing PROPFIND for specific children within that directory.
The PROPFIND for the parent directory is usually done at depth 1,
meaning that we already have information for all of the children.
By immediately adding that to the cache, we save a roundtrip to
the remote peer on the PROPFIND for the specific child.
