The ephemeral garbage collector was only armed when a long-poll
session ended, or for every ephemeral node at startup. A client that
registered and went away before its first long-poll reached Connect,
for example a pod killed right after login, never ended a session,
so no deletion timer was armed. The node then stayed until headscale
restarted, well past node.ephemeral.inactivity_timeout.
Schedule the GC right after the auth-key registration, before the
error check: a failed policy refresh still returns the saved node. The
existing Cancel in serveLongPoll stops the timer once the node
connects. A timer that fires while a session is live is still skipped
by the ActiveSessions check.
TestEphemeralGCDoesNotDeleteReconnectedNode now checks that
registration arms the timer and cancels it before replaying its
sessions. Otherwise the 50ms timer could fire while the test's Connect
was still waiting for a NodeStore flush.
TestFailedReconnectDoesNotCancelEphemeralGC and
TestDeleteNodeCancelsEphemeralGC ran with a zero inactivity timeout,
so the registration timer deleted the node at once, and the delete
cancelled the timer the tests armed themselves. They now use 5s, which
outlasts the tests.

The lock is taken before any credential check, so client-chosen machine
keys grew the map forever. Ref-count entries; delete at zero.

One verdict per session, so one waiter: the newest. A displaced one
returns at once (register error, SSH re-delegate), not at session end.
A waiter keeps only the follow-up URL and the cached registration.

The rest arrives with the first MapRequest. A relogin keeps the node's
current Hostinfo, endpoints and disco key; an oversized merge is a 400.
Fixes ANT-2026-RQS7JAPP
Rows stored before the bounds are trimmed the same way at load; a
Hostinfo still over budget is dropped until the node reports again.

Keep the first 256 endpoints and 4096 routes; refuse longer hostnames,
too many tags, zoned endpoints and >64 KiB NetInfo or other Hostinfo.
The body limit counted wire bytes, not what NodeStore and peers keep.

handleRegister, the OIDC auth path and SetNodeExpiry refuse it. Expiries
are stored in UTC, which SQLite can read back, and loaded in UTC, as
PostgreSQL returns the server's zone. The v1 API answers 400.
Fixes ANT-2026-QMCAFJ1Q
json.Marshal refuses a year outside [0,9999], so one stored expiry
failed every map with that node. TailNode and key patches send UTC, the
builder drops what fails and the boot scan names the node.
Fixes ANT-2026-QMCAFJ1Q
Only a key that speaks for a tagged node re-authenticates it: a tagged
key, or one of the user it was tagged from. Another user's key or login
adds that user's own device, or only wakes the node under its node key.
Fixes ANT-2026-AWGRB7O1
Such a route names a node, not a subnet: it stays approved and listed
but no viewer gets it. Via inclusions skip the election, so the rule
sits on everything RoutesForPeer returns.
Fixes ANT-2026-MLP8ZR5T
Checks a policy as a write would, without storing it. As on Tailscale,
a refused policy answers 200 with its reason; only an empty body is 400.
Terraform provider 0.29.3 calls it at plan time.
* db: quote postgres connection parameters
The DSN was built by string concatenation, so a password containing a
space, quote or backslash truncated it or injected extra parameters.
Build it with libpq keyword/value quoting and keep the password out of
the startup log line.
* db: mark the DSN test fixture password as not a credential
gosec G101 flags the literal assigned to Pass in TestBuildPostgresDSN.
The value exists to exercise quoting of spaces, quotes and backslashes
and is not a secret.

* types, db: build the postgres DSN as a URL from PostgresConfig
Review feedback: move the DSN construction onto types.PostgresConfig as
DSN(), so the database layer calls cfg.Postgres.DSN() and logs
redacted.DSN(), and build it as a postgres:// URL with net/url instead
of hand-rolled libpq quoting. Unix socket directories travel as the
host query parameter; bare IPv6 literals are bracketed. Tests parse the
URL back and check each component rather than the encoded string.
* types: silence gosec on the whole DSN test fixtures
gosec reports G101 on the composite literal that holds a Pass value, not
on the Pass line itself, so the previous nolint did not cover it. Place
the directive before each fixture element.
* db: drop imports left unused by the merge with main
The merge of main reintroduced the slices and strconv imports in db.go,
but the postgres DSN is now built by PostgresConfig.DSN and nothing in
the file uses them, so the package failed to compile and every CI check
failed on typecheck.
Also link the CHANGELOG entry to the PR.
* db: restore tests and formatting lost in the rebase onto main
Resolving the rebase conflicts in db_test.go kept this branch's side and
dropped the credential tests main had added, including the
requireCredentialConstraints helper another test still calls, so the db
test package no longer compiled. Restore the file from main; this branch
does not change it.
The resolution also indented the package clause in db.go and removed the
blank line between the standard library and module imports.

ViaRoutesForPeer runs for every peer of every map response. Before it
looks at Via, it converts every ACL to grants and resolves each grant's
sources and destinations against the whole node set. Only via grants
can add to the result and ACLs never carry via, so without a via grant
all of that work was discarded. On large tailnets it dominated map
generation. Return early instead.
