Brad Fitzpatrick 159cf8707a ipn/ipnlocal, all: split LocalBackend.NetMap into NetMapNoPeers / NetMapWithPeers
Add two narrower accessors alongside the existing
[LocalBackend.NetMap], with docs that distinguish their semantics:

  - NetMapNoPeers: cheap (returns the cached *netmap.NetworkMap with
    a possibly-stale Peers slice). For callers that only read non-Peers
    fields like SelfNode, DNS, PacketFilter, capabilities.
  - NetMapWithPeers: documented as returning an up-to-date Peers slice.
    For callers that genuinely need to iterate Peers or call
    PeerByXxx.

Mark the existing NetMap deprecated and point readers at the two new
accessors. NetMap, NetMapNoPeers, and NetMapWithPeers all currently
return the same value (b.currentNode().NetMap()): this commit is a
no-op behaviorally, just a renaming and migration of in-tree callers.
A subsequent change in the same series will switch
NetMapWithPeers to actually rebuild the Peers slice from the live
per-node-backend peers map (O(N) per call), at which point the
distinction between the two new accessors becomes load-bearing.

Migrate in-tree callers to the appropriate accessor based on what
fields they read:

  - NetMapNoPeers (most common): localapi handlers, peerapi accept,
    GetCertPEMWithValidity, web client noise request, doctor DNS
    resolver check, tsnet CertDomains/TailscaleIPs, ssh/tailssh
    SSH-policy/cap reads, several LocalBackend internals
    (isLocalIP, allowExitNodeDNSProxyToServeName, pauseForNetwork
    nil-check, serve config).
  - NetMapWithPeers: writeNetmapToDiskLocked (persist full netmap to
    disk for fast restart), PeerByTailscaleIP lookup.

Tests still call the legacy NetMap; they'll see the deprecation
warning but otherwise behave identically.

Also add two pieces of plumbing the next change in this series will
need, but which are already useful on their own:

  - [client/local.GetDebugResultJSON]: a generic [Client.DebugResultJSON]
    that decodes directly into a target type T, avoiding the
    marshal/unmarshal roundtrip callers otherwise need.
  - localapi "current-netmap" debug action: returns the current
    netmap (with peers) as JSON. Documented as debug-only — the
    netmap.NetworkMap shape is internal and may change without notice.

This commit is part of a series breaking up a larger change for
review; on its own it is a no-op refactor.

Updates #12542

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.

Other clients

The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}

If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:

./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled

If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.

Bugs

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.

Contributing

PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
