- [ ] Is a feature enhancement
- [ ] It is a refactor
- [ ] Created tests that fail without the change (if possible)
- [ ] This change does **not** modify the public API, gRPC protocols, functionality behavior, CLI / service flags, or introduce a new feature — **OR** I have discussed it with the NetBird team beforehand (link the issue / Slack thread in the description). See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#discuss-changes-with-the-netbird-team-first).
- [ ] I ran and tested this change locally — I did not rely on CI to find out whether it works
- [ ] This PR has a single purpose (not a fix + refactor + feature in one)
- [ ] This change is a trivial fix, **OR** it links an issue the NetBird team agreed on beforehand. Changes to the public API, gRPC protocols, functionality behavior, CLI / service flags, or new features always need that agreement first. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#ticket-first-pr-second).
