codingetandClaude 0a6e85834a fix(tsconnect): keep racing the runtime while the IPN is built
Two lifecycle gaps in startIPN, both found in review.

The runtime was only raced until the readiness callback fired. Building
the backend happens after that, in a Go goroutine, and if the runtime
dies partway through, that goroutine dies with it and the promise it
would have settled never settles. startIPN hung forever instead of
rejecting. Race the factory too.

createIPN also handed callers the bridge's own shutdown, whose promise
races the runtime tearing itself down and may never settle, and which
the public type did not declare at all. Replace it in place with one that
resolves when the runtime has actually exited, and declare it. Replacing
rather than wrapping keeps the object the bridge built, instead of a copy
that only looks like it.

That also gives the exit handler the distinction it was missing: only an
exit the caller did not ask for is a panic now, so a deliberate shutdown
is no longer reported as one.

codingetandClaude 738fea52f8 fix(tsconnect): stop reporting a deliberate shutdown as a panic
The exit handler called onExit("Unexpected shutdown") whenever the Go
runtime exited. That was upstream's wording from when nothing could stop
the runtime, so every exit really was a panic. This fork added shutdown(),
so a clean teardown now reports itself as a crash to the panic handler
createIPN() hands to its callers.

Split the two cases. Before the IPN reaches the caller an exit is a
startup failure, and rejecting hands it back as an error rather than as a
side-channel callback. After that the caller holds the only shutdown
path, so report the exit without claiming it was unexpected.

Found in review of webnet/webnet#188.

codingetandClaude 3c63a95446 fix(tsconnect/wasm): let the loader exit a runtime whose IPN failed
A rejected newIPN left the runtime blocked in main with nothing able to
release it: the IPN that owns shutdown was never built. The runtime, its
goroutines, and its scheduler work stayed live for a startup that failed.

Hand the loader a terminate function alongside the factory. Closing the
channel inside newIPN would not work, because main would return and the
runtime exit before makePromise delivered the rejection; leaving it to
the loader keeps the rejection first and the exit second.

jsIPN now holds that function instead of the channel, so shutdown and
startup failure release the runtime through one path.

codingetandClaude 7ca658b028 refactor(tsconnect): move the fork's own TS onto the init callback
build-pkg runs tsc and dts-bundle-generator over src/, so the demo app
and the package entry point have to follow the runtime off the global
factory or the wasm build stops working.

Both now start the runtime through a shared startIPN helper, which
installs the callback, passes its name in through go.env, and races
readiness against the runtime exiting so a startup crash rejects instead
of hanging. The panic handler is wired to that exit rather than being
attached to a floating go.run() promise.

Will Norris 3ec5be3f51 all: remove AUTHORS file and references to it
This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.

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'

Mihai Parparita 1a093ef482 cmd/tsconnect: extract NPM package for reusing in other projects
`src/` is broken up into several subdirectories:
- `lib/` and `types`/ for shared code and type definitions (more code
  will be moved here)
- `app/` for the existing Preact-app
- `pkg/` for the new NPM package

A new `build-pkg` esbuild-based command is added to generate the files
for the NPM package. To generate type definitions (something that esbuild
does not do), we set up `dts-bundle-generator`.

Includes additional cleanups to the Wasm type definitions (we switch to
string literals for enums, since exported const enums are hard to use
via packages).

Also allows the control URL to be set a runtime (in addition to the
current build option), so that we don't have to rebuild the package
for dev vs. prod use.

Mihai Parparita ab159f748b cmd/tsconnect: switch UI to Preact
Reduces the amount of boilerplate to render the UI and makes it easier to

Preact adds ~13K to our bundle size (5K after Brotli) thus is a neglibible
size contribution. We mitigate the delay in rendering the UI by having a static
placeholder in the HTML.

Mihai Parparita 9a2171e4ea cmd/tsconnect: make terminal resizable
Makes the terminal container DOM node as large as the window (except for
the header) via flexbox. The xterm.js terminal is then sized to fit via
xterm-addon-fit. Once we have a computed rows/columns size, and we can
tell the SSH session of the computed size.

Required introducing an IPNSSHSession type to allow the JS to control
the SSH session once opened. That alse allows us to programatically
close it, which we do when the user closes the window with the session
still active.

I initially wanted to open the terminal in a new window instead (so that
it could be resizable independently of the main window), but xterm.js
does not appear to work well in that mode (possibly because it adds an
IntersectionObserver to pause rendering when the window is not visible,
and it ends up doing that when the parent window is hidden -- see
xtermjs/xterm.js@87dca56dee)
