-## Security
-
-### Never fail open
-
-When a security check — access control, an IP restriction, an auth decision —
-hits an error such as an unparseable value, an unavailable lookup, or a state it
-does not recognize, it must **deny**. Never skip the check or allow the request
-through because the check itself failed, and make the `default` and unknown cases
-of a security-related `switch` deny rather than fall through.
-
-### Daemon RPC input is untrusted
-
-The agent runs as root (LocalSystem on Windows), so a daemon RPC crosses a
-privilege boundary: treat every field as untrusted input rather than as something
-the UI or CLI validated on the way in.
-
-When you add or change an RPC, ask what the handler does with caller input while
-running as root. If the answer touches a filesystem path, a URL or host, or a
-privileged state change, it needs a gate **in the handler** — a check in the client
-that normally calls it is not a check at all.
-
-- **A caller-supplied path the daemon opens.** Never `os.Open` it as root.
-  Constrain it, then open it *as the caller* with `ipcauth.OpenOwnedFile`, which
-  opens `O_NOFOLLOW`, requires a regular file, and refuses a file the caller does
-  not own — so a symlink or hardlink aimed at a root-only file is rejected.
-- **A caller-supplied URL or host the daemon fetches.** Restrict the scheme and
-  allow only known hosts for unprivileged callers. Prefer a lexical host
-  allowlist plus TLS verification over "resolve the host, then reject private
-  IPs": the resolve-then-trust pattern has a DNS-rebinding race (public IP at
-  check time, attacker IP at connect time), while a name allowlist has no IP
-  check to race. Never accept `http://` where `https://` is expected.
-- **A privileged state change** (SSH root login, management URL, deregistration)
-  gates on the caller identity from `ipcauth.CallerIdentity(ctx)`.
-
-Caller identity comes from the kernel — `SO_PEERCRED`, `LOCAL_PEERCRED`, or the
-named-pipe client token — and never from an RPC field. When
-`ipcauth.CallerIdentity` reports that it could not determine an identity, **deny**;
-do not fall back to treating the caller as the transport peer.
-
-## Agent conventions
-
-### Three networking modes
-
-Where packets actually flow depends on the mode the agent is running in. The
-three are not interchangeable, so establish which one a change applies to — and
-what it should do in the other two — before you write it.
-
-- **kernel mode** (Linux only): in-kernel WireGuard®. The kernel handles both
-  peer-to-peer and routed traffic, and ACLs are iptables or nftables rules. The
-  client programs kernel facilities but never sees the traffic itself.
-- **userspace mode** (wireguard-go with a TUN): wireguard-go runs in-process. The
-  kernel handles peer-to-peer traffic once it leaves the TUN, while routed traffic
-  — exit nodes and network routes — goes through the userspace forwarder, which
-  terminates the connection and re-establishes it over OS sockets. Used on
-  platforms without kernel WireGuard® or when the user opts out.
-- **netstack mode**: wireguard-go in-process with no TUN and no kernel
-  networking. The forwarder does all routing by stitching userspace sockets, and
-  listeners such as the embedded SSH and DNS servers bind on a gVisor netstack.
-  Used where the process cannot create a TUN device, such as the embedded client
-  (`client/embed/`) and the WASM build.
-
-### The overlay interface is not "WireGuard"
-
-Do not put "WireGuard" in identifiers or comments unless the code is genuinely
-coupled to WireGuard® specifically — a wireguard-go call, a handshake field, a
-kernel WireGuard® netlink attribute. For the interface, the host, peers, or
-traffic in general, say "the NetBird interface", "the interface", or "the overlay".
-Most firewall, routing, and DNS code is transport-agnostic, so a WireGuard®
-reference there is simply inaccurate and rots as the transports change.
-
-### IPv6 is a soft feature
-
-The IPv6 overlay is opt-in dual-stack, and capability can change at runtime. Treat
-it as soft rather than a requirement:
-
-- Gate local v6 paths on the interface accessor (`wgIface.Address().HasIPv6()`),
-  not on raw state fields, and skip the v6 path when the host has no v6 rather
-  than returning an error.
-- Treat an empty or unparseable peer v6 address as "no v6 for that peer" and skip
-  it, keeping the v4 path working.
-- Never let a missing v6 break v4. Fail-closed is for security checks; a
-  capability mismatch skips the v6 work and carries on.
-
-### Environment variables
-
-Name the variable in a constant and parse booleans with `strconv.ParseBool` rather
-than comparing strings inline, so an unexpected value is logged instead of
-silently meaning false:
-
-```go
-const EnvDisableFeature = "NB_DISABLE_FEATURE"
-
-func isDisabledByEnv() bool {
-    val := os.Getenv(EnvDisableFeature)
-    if val == "" {
-        return false
-    }
-    disabled, err := strconv.ParseBool(val)
-    if err != nil {
-        log.Warnf("failed to parse %s: %v", EnvDisableFeature, err)
-        return false
-    }
-    return disabled
-}
-```
-
-### Validating against protocol specs
-
-When a change depends on what a protocol actually mandates, read the specification
-text from the [IETF datatracker](https://datatracker.ietf.org/) rather than a
-summary, and check that you have the current RFC — the widely cited one for a
-protocol is often superseded. Cite the section, not just the document, so a
-reviewer can jump straight to the rule.

-## Type safety
-
-**No bare primitives for domain concepts.** A `string` parameter for an account
-ID next to a `string` parameter for a peer ID is two bugs waiting to happen,
-because the compiler cannot catch the swap. Declare the type once and use it
-throughout, converting only at the boundaries where data enters or leaves —
-protobuf, gRPC, HTTP, an external library.
-
-```go
-type ServiceID string
-type AccountID string
-
-// Internal: typed all the way through
-func (r *Router) RemoveRoute(host SNIHost, svcID ServiceID) { ... }
-
-// Proto boundary: convert once, on the way in and on the way out
-svcID := ServiceID(mapping.GetId())
-req.ServiceId = string(svcID)
-```
-
-- **IP addresses are `netip.Addr`**, not `string` and not `net.IP`. Parse at the
-  boundary and pass the typed value inward.
-- **Always `Unmap()`** after parsing an address, after converting from `net.IP`,
-  and after extracting one from `RemoteAddr()`. This normalizes a v4-mapped v6
-  address (`::ffff:10.1.2.3`) to plain v4 so IPv4 rules match it. A stored or
-  compared mapped address silently fails to match those rules.
-- **Ports are `uint16`** internally; use `int` only where a library forces it and
-  convert immediately.
-- **Enums are a typed string with constants**, so the valid set is discoverable
-  and a typo fails to compile.
-- **Map keys follow the same rule**, and must be a real type (`type ServiceID
-  string`) rather than an alias (`type serviceID = string`) — an alias silently
-  accepts bare strings.
-
-## Concurrency and lifecycle
-
-Beyond the mutex hygiene in the principles above, check for these failure
-modes.
-
-- **Never read a struct field inside a goroutine** when another goroutine may nil
-  or reassign it. Pass the value as a parameter, or capture it into a local before
-  launching. This matters most when `Stop()` nils a field without waiting for the
-  goroutine to finish.
-
-  ```go
-  go func(ifaceName string) {   // good: passed in, cannot be nilled underneath
-      m.Start(ctx, ifaceName)
-  }(iface.Name())
-  ```
-
-- **Never wait on a channel while holding a lock the sender needs.** Copy what you
-  need out from under the lock, release it, then wait.
-
-  ```go
-  func (m *Manager) Stop() {
-      m.mu.Lock()
-      cancel, done := m.cancel, m.done
-      m.mu.Unlock()
-      if cancel != nil {
-          cancel()
-          <-done
-      }
-  }
-  ```
-
-- **`Stop`/`Close` must be idempotent** — guard on an already-stopped flag or a
-  nil cancel — and must release the state they guarded. Clear maps and caches;
-  a cancelled goroutine holding a live map still pins that memory. Note that a
-  nil map only panics on writes; reads and iteration behave like an empty map,
-  so where post-close use must be rejected, check the stopped flag explicitly.
-- **Publish coupled state only after every fallible step succeeds.** When several
-  fields form an invariant, build them into locals and assign them to the receiver
-  at the end. Assigning as you go leaves the object half-initialized when a later
-  step fails, so a readiness predicate reports ready while a coupled field is nil.
-  If an earlier step already had an external side effect — a created chain, an
-  opened handle, an inserted rule — roll it back before returning the error.
-- **Clean up what you own on constructor error paths.** Once a constructor has
-  started something, every later error path must undo it: cancel a goroutine and
-  wait for it to exit, stop a ticker, close a watcher. The object is never
-  returned, so its `Close` will never run.
-- **A failed `Start` must undo everything it started.** When a component brings up
-  several subsystems in sequence — connection manager, watchers, routing, DNS,
-  flow, persisted state — a failure partway through has to tear down the ones
-  already running, not just close the handle the error came from. Put the
-  already-started guard *before* that teardown path, so a rejected second `Start`
-  cannot dismantle the one that is running.
