With node.ephemeral.inactivity_timeout set, ephemeral nodes are
usually deleted after they go offline, but under reconnect churn some
departed nodes stayed in the node list as disconnected indefinitely
until removed manually or until Headscale restarted.
Ephemeral cleanup is timer-based via EphemeralGarbageCollector, not a
periodic LastSeen scan. serveLongPoll cancelled any pending GC timer
at the very start of a long-poll attempt and only rescheduled on a
clean disconnect after Connect. If a reconnect cancelled the timer and
then failed before Connect (for example an UpdateNodeFromMapRequest
error), the deferred cleanup saw connectGen == 0 and returned without
Schedule. The node remained offline with no deletion timer and no
reconciler to recover it.
Cancel the ephemeral GC timer only after a successful Connect, so a
failed reconnect leaves an already-armed inactivity timer intact.
Successful reconnects still cancel GC once the node is online, and a
later disconnect reschedules as before.
Add TestFailedReconnectDoesNotCancelEphemeralGC to lock in the
ordering, plus IsScheduled and DeleteNodeFromStoreForTest helpers for
the test.

Add the OAuth client type, its database storage, the scope grant package,
policy tag-ownership exposure, and the state operations backing the v2
OAuth client-credentials flow.
Tailscale's keys API has no separate expire verb: DELETE is the revoke.
Map it to a soft revoke so the key stays retrievable as invalid afterwards
instead of vanishing, matching the SDK and Terraform's expectations.
Add a revoked timestamp to pre-auth keys (migration plus schema), mark a
key invalid once revoked, and have the keys DELETE handler stamp it rather
than destroy the row. A background collector reaps revoked keys after a
configurable retention window (preauth_keys.revoked_retention, default
168h), so the table does not grow without bound.
Give API keys an optional owning user and pre-auth keys a free-text
description, plus the state accessors the v2 API needs to act as a
key's owner and to persist descriptions.
With the v1 API served by Huma and the CLI on the HTTP client, nothing
uses the gRPC service or its generated code. Delete proto/, the generated
gen/go and gen/openapiv2, grpcv1.go, the buf config, the proto .Proto()
helpers and gRPC config, and the proto build tooling from the flake and
CI.
Expiring or deleting a pre-auth key that does not exist updated zero rows
and returned no error, so the caller could not tell a missing key from a
successful no-op. Return ErrPreAuthKeyNotFound when RowsAffected is zero.
A nil tags slice marshals to JSON `null`; the clear-tagged migration
read that as tagged and cleared user_id. Exclude it, and recover
already-detached nodes from their pre-auth key.
Fixes#3323
The First()-by-machine-key getter returned an undefined node when a machine
key mapped to several nodes. It was used only by RegisterNodeForTest; match on
(machine_key, user_id) there instead and remove the getter.
Updates #3312
An unknown or deleted key returned a bare error matching neither the
not-found nor pre-auth-key checks, so registration returned a server error
instead of 401. Wrap gorm.ErrRecordNotFound.
Updates #3312
Versions before 0.28 persisted a pointer to a zero time.Time as
'0001-01-01 00:00:00+00:00' in nodes.expiry rather than NULL. 0.29
reports those rows as expired. #3197 and #3199 stopped new writes;
this normalises the existing rows so the column once again means
"no expiry" when unset.

Untagged main-sha builds inherit a Go module pseudo-version from
runtime/debug.BuildInfo (vX.Y.Z-<timestamp>-<hash>). isDev only
filtered "", "dev", and "(devel)", so the pseudo-version was stored
in database_versions and the next real release tripped the
multi-minor upgrade guard:
headscale version v0.29.0-beta.1 cannot be used with a database
last used by v0.0.0-20260520093041-e4e742c776ee, upgrading more
than one minor version at a time is not supported
Add pseudoVersionTime, a regex + time.Parse predicate covering all
three Go pseudo-version forms (v0.0.0 base, pre-release ancestor,
release ancestor), and delegate from isDev. The dev gate at
db.go:790 already prevents pseudo-versions from being written, so
already-poisoned databases self-heal on the next real-release start.
Fixes#3281
Every Go-identifier reference in // and /* */ comments now uses
godoc's [Name] linking syntax so pkg.go.dev and `go doc` render
them as clickable cross-references. No behaviour change.
Pattern applied across the tree:
In-package [Foo], [Foo.Bar]
Cross-package [pkg.Foo], [pkg.Foo.Bar]
Stdlib [netip.Prefix], [errors.Is], [context.Context]
Tailscale [tailcfg.MapResponse], [tailcfg.Node.CapMap],
[tailcfg.NodeAttrSuggestExitNode]
Skip rules:
- File:line refs left as plain text
- HuJSON wire keys inside backtick raw strings untouched
- ACL/policy syntax tokens (tag:foo, autogroup:self, ...) not Go
symbols, left as plain text
- JSON/OIDC wire keys, gorm tags, RFC IPv6 placeholders, markdown
link tags, decorative dividers — all left as-is
hscontrol/debug.go — pre-size nodes []nodeStatus to len(debugInfo)
so the loop does not grow under append.
hscontrol/mapper/batcher_test.go — testing.TB parameter on
setupBatcherWithTestData renamed t → tb so thelper sees the
expected name.
hscontrol/db/text_serialiser.go — reflect.Ptr → reflect.Pointer
(deprecated alias).
Both helpers existed to write the literal "[]" when clearing a slice
column — a workaround for GORM's struct-Updates skipping nil slices.
The State path goes exclusively through persistNodeToDB, which is now
correct end-to-end thanks to the named IsZero slice types, so the
helpers are dead in production. The remaining callers were tests.
TestSetTags is dropped — TestSetTags_* in hscontrol/grpcv1_test.go
already covers the State path that production uses. TestAutoApproveRoutes
now writes routes via DB.Save on the loaded node, which is the path
gRPC SetApprovedRoutes drives in production.
Updates #3110
Endpoints, Tags and ApprovedRoutes serialize as JSON on Node. GORM's
struct Updates path skips fields it considers zero, and reflect treats
a nil slice as zero — clearing any of these columns via the State
persist path would leave the previous value in the database.
Introduce Strings, Prefixes and AddrPorts as named slice types whose
IsZero() always reports false, so GORM keeps the column in the UPDATE
regardless of the slice being nil or empty. JSON marshalling is
unchanged: nil serializes to null, empty to []. List() returns the
underlying unnamed slice for callers (mainly testify assertions over
reflect.DeepEqual) that distinguish the named type from its base.
Regenerated types_clone.go and types_view.go follow the field-type
swap. Test assertions across hscontrol/{db,state,servertest} updated
to call .List() where reflect.DeepEqual previously matched the raw
slice type.
Fixes#3110
Ingest (registration and MapRequest updates) now calls
dnsname.SanitizeHostname directly and lets NodeStore auto-bump on
collision. Admin rename uses dnsname.ValidLabel + SetGivenName so
conflicts are surfaced to the caller instead of silently mutated.
Three duplicate invalidDNSRegex definitions, the old NormaliseHostname
and ValidateHostname helpers, EnsureHostname, InvalidString,
ApplyHostnameFromHostInfo, GivenNameHasBeenChanged, generateGivenName
and EnsureUniqueGivenName are removed along with their tests.
ValidateHostname's username half is retained as ValidateUsername for
users.go.
The SaaS-matching collision rule replaces the random "invalid-xxxxxx"
fallback and the 8-character hash suffix; the empty-input fallback is
the literal "node". TestUpdateHostnameFromClient now exercises the
rewrite end-to-end with awkward macOS/Windows names.

Tests were dumping megabytes of zerolog output on failure; silence
at init and let individual tests opt in via SetGlobalLevel when they need
log-driven assertions.
Updates #3157
Add a row-level check so concurrent registrations with the same
single-use key cannot both succeed. Skip the call on
re-registration where the key is already marked used (#2830).
Replace zcache with golang-lru/v2/expirable for both the state auth
cache and the OIDC state cache. Add tuning.register_cache_max_entries
(default 1024) to cap the number of pending registration entries.
Introduce types.RegistrationData to replace caching a full *Node;
only the fields the registration callback path reads are retained.
Remove the dead HSDatabase.regCache field. Drop zgo.at/zcache/v2
from go.mod.
The migration at db.go:680 appends validated tags to existing tags
using append(existingTags, validatedTags...) where existingTags
aliases node.Tags. When node.Tags has spare capacity, append writes
into the shared backing array, and the subsequent slices.Sort
corrupts the original.
Clone existingTags before appending to prevent aliasing.
DestroyUser called ListPreAuthKeys(tx) which returns ALL pre-auth keys
across all users, then deleted every one of them. This caused deleting
any single user to wipe out pre-auth keys for every other user.
Extract a ListPreAuthKeysByUser function (consistent with the existing
ListNodesByUser pattern) and use it in DestroyUser to scope key deletion
to the user being destroyed.
Add unit test (table-driven in TestDestroyUserErrors) and integration
test to prevent regression.

Buffer the AuthRequest verdict channel to prevent a race where the
sender blocks indefinitely if the receiver has already timed out, and
increase the auth followup test timeout from 100ms to 5s to prevent
spurious failures under load.
Skip postgres-backed tests when the postgres server is unavailable
instead of calling t.Fatal, which was preventing the rest of the test
suite from running.
Add TestMain to db, types, and policy/v2 packages to chdir to the
source directory before running tests. This ensures relative testdata/
paths resolve correctly when the test binary is executed from an
arbitrary working directory (e.g., via "go tool stress").
Generalise the registration pipeline to a more general auth pipeline
supporting both node registrations and SSH check auth requests.
Rename RegistrationID to AuthID, unexport AuthRequest fields, and
introduce AuthVerdict to unify the auth finish API.
Add the urlParam generic helper for extracting typed URL parameters
from chi routes, used by the new auth request handler.
Updates #1850
Test the tagged-node-survives-user-deletion scenario at two layers:
DB layer (users_test.go):
- success_user_only_has_tagged_nodes: tagged nodes with nil
user_id do not block user deletion and survive it
- error_user_has_tagged_and_owned_nodes: user-owned nodes
still block deletion even when tagged nodes coexist
App layer (grpcv1_test.go):
- TestDeleteUser_TaggedNodeSurvives: full registration flow
with tagged PreAuthKey verifies nil UserID after registration,
absence from nodesByUser index, user deletion succeeds, and
tagged node remains in global node list
Also update auth_tags_test.go assertions to expect nil UserID
on tagged nodes, consistent with the new invariant.
Updates #3077
Tagged nodes are owned by their tags, not a user. Enforce this
invariant at every write path:
- createAndSaveNewNode: do not set UserID for tagged PreAuthKey
registration; clear UserID when advertise-tags are applied
during OIDC/CLI registration
- SetNodeTags: clear UserID/User when tags are assigned
- processReauthTags: clear UserID/User when tags are applied
during re-authentication
- validateNodeOwnership: reject tagged nodes with non-nil UserID
- NodeStore: skip nodesByUser indexing for tagged nodes since
they have no owning user
- HandleNodeFromPreAuthKey: add fallback lookup for tagged PAK
re-registration (tagged nodes indexed under UserID(0)); guard
against nil User deref for tagged nodes in different-user check
Since tagged nodes now have user_id = NULL, ListNodesByUser
will not return them and DestroyUser naturally allows deleting
users whose nodes have all been tagged. The ON DELETE CASCADE
FK cannot reach tagged nodes through a NULL foreign key.
Also tone down shouty comments throughout state.go.
Fixes#3077
Tagged nodes are owned by their tags, not a user. Previously
user_id was kept as "created by" tracking, but this prevents
deleting users whose nodes have all been tagged, and the
ON DELETE CASCADE FK would destroy the tagged nodes.
Add a migration that sets user_id = NULL on all existing tagged
nodes. Subsequent commits enforce this invariant at write time.
Updates #3077
Add --disable flag to "headscale nodes expire" CLI command and
disable_expiry field handling in the gRPC API to allow disabling
key expiry for nodes. When disabled, the node's expiry is set to
NULL and IsExpired() returns false.
The CLI follows the new grpcRunE/RunE/printOutput patterns
introduced in the recent CLI refactor.
Also fix NodeSetExpiry to persist directly to the database instead
of going through persistNodeToDB which omits the expiry field.

Fix issues found by the upgraded golangci-lint:
- wsl_v5: add required whitespace in CLI files
- staticcheck SA4006: replace new(var.Field) with &localVar
pattern since staticcheck does not recognize Go 1.26
new(value) as a use of the variable
- staticcheck SA5011: use t.Fatal instead of t.Error for
nil guard checks so execution stops
- unused: remove dead ptrTo helper function
Use GORM AutoMigrate instead of raw SQL to create the
database_versions table, since PostgreSQL does not support the
datetime type used in the raw SQL (it requires timestamp).
Add a version check that runs before database migrations to ensure
users do not skip minor versions or downgrade. This protects database
migrations and allows future cleanup of old migration code.
Rules enforced:
- Same minor version: always allowed (patch changes either way)
- Single minor upgrade (e.g. 0.27 -> 0.28): allowed
- Multi-minor upgrade (e.g. 0.25 -> 0.28): blocked with guidance
- Any minor downgrade: blocked
- Major version change: blocked
- Dev builds: warn but allow, preserve stored version
The version is stored in a purpose-built database_versions table
after migrations succeed. The table is created with raw SQL before
gormigrate runs to avoid circular dependencies.

Errors should not start capitalised and they should not contain the word error
or state that they "failed" as we already know it is an error
Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Dalby <kristoffer@dalby.cc>
Go style recommends that log messages and error strings should not be
capitalized (unless beginning with proper nouns or acronyms) and should
not end with punctuation.
This change normalizes all zerolog .Msg() and .Msgf() calls to start
with lowercase letters, following Go conventions and making logs more
consistent across the codebase.
Replace raw string field names with zf constants in state.go and
db/node.go for consistent, type-safe logging.
state.go changes:
- User creation, hostinfo validation, node registration
- Tag processing during reauth (processReauthTags)
- Auth path and PreAuthKey handling
- Route auto-approval and MapRequest processing
db/node.go changes:
- RegisterNodeForTest logging
- Invalid hostname replacement logging
