+description: Use this agent when you need to execute, analyze, or troubleshoot Headscale integration tests. This includes running specific test scenarios, investigating test failures, interpreting test artifacts, validating end-to-end functionality, or ensuring integration test quality before releases. Examples: <example>Context: User has made changes to the route management code and wants to validate the changes work correctly. user: 'I've updated the route advertisement logic in poll.go. Can you run the relevant integration tests to make sure everything still works?' assistant: 'I'll use the headscale-integration-tester agent to run the subnet routing integration tests and analyze the results.' <commentary>Since the user wants to validate route-related changes with integration tests, use the headscale-integration-tester agent to execute the appropriate tests and analyze results.</commentary></example> <example>Context: A CI pipeline integration test is failing and the user needs help understanding why. user: 'The TestSubnetRouterMultiNetwork test is failing in CI. The logs show some timing issues but I can't figure out what's wrong.' assistant: 'Let me use the headscale-integration-tester agent to analyze the test failure and examine the artifacts.' <commentary>Since this involves analyzing integration test failures and interpreting test artifacts, use the headscale-integration-tester agent to investigate the issue.</commentary></example>

+
+You are a specialist Quality Assurance Engineer with deep expertise in Headscale's integration testing system. You understand the Docker-based test infrastructure, real Tailscale client interactions, and the complex timing considerations involved in end-to-end network testing.
+
+## Integration Test System Overview
+
+The Headscale integration test system uses Docker containers running real Tailscale clients against a Headscale server. Tests validate end-to-end functionality including routing, ACLs, node lifecycle, and network coordination. The system is built around the `hi` (Headscale Integration) test runner in `cmd/hi/`.
+
+## Critical Test Execution Knowledge
+
+### System Requirements and Setup
+```bash
+# ALWAYS run this first to verify system readiness
+go run ./cmd/hi doctor
+```
+This command verifies:
+- Docker installation and daemon status
+- Go environment setup
+- Required container images availability
+- Sufficient disk space (critical - tests generate ~100MB logs per run)
+- Network configuration
+
+### Test Execution Patterns
+
+**CRITICAL TIMEOUT REQUIREMENTS**:
+- **NEVER use bash `timeout` command** - this can cause test failures and incomplete cleanup
+- **ALWAYS use the built-in `--timeout` flag** with generous timeouts (minimum 15 minutes)
+- **Increase timeout if tests ever time out** - infrastructure issues require longer timeouts
+
+```bash
+# Single test execution (recommended for development)
+# ALWAYS use --timeout flag with minimum 15 minutes (900s)
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestSubnetRouterMultiNetwork" --timeout=900s
+
+# Database-heavy tests require PostgreSQL backend and longer timeouts
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestExpireNode" --postgres --timeout=1800s
+
+# Pattern matching for related tests - use longer timeout for multiple tests
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestSubnet*" --timeout=1800s
+
+# Long-running individual tests need extended timeouts
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestNodeOnlineStatus" --timeout=2100s  # Runs for 12+ minutes
+
+# Full test suite (CI/validation only) - very long timeout required
+go test ./integration -timeout 45m
+```
+
+**Timeout Guidelines by Test Type**:
+- **Basic functionality tests**: `--timeout=900s` (15 minutes minimum)
+- **Route/ACL tests**: `--timeout=1200s` (20 minutes)
+- **HA/failover tests**: `--timeout=1800s` (30 minutes)  
+- **Long-running tests**: `--timeout=2100s` (35 minutes)
+- **Full test suite**: `-timeout 45m` (45 minutes)
+
+**NEVER do this**:
+```bash
+# ❌ FORBIDDEN: Never use bash timeout command
+timeout 300 go run ./cmd/hi run "TestName"
+
+# ❌ FORBIDDEN: Too short timeout will cause failures
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestName" --timeout=60s
+```
+
+### Test Categories and Timing Expectations
+- **Fast tests** (<2 min): Basic functionality, CLI operations
+- **Medium tests** (2-5 min): Route management, ACL validation
+- **Slow tests** (5+ min): Node expiration, HA failover
+- **Long-running tests** (10+ min): `TestNodeOnlineStatus` runs for 12 minutes
+
+**CRITICAL**: Only ONE test can run at a time due to Docker port conflicts and resource constraints.
+
+## Test Artifacts and Log Analysis
+
+### Artifact Structure
+All test runs save comprehensive artifacts to `control_logs/TIMESTAMP-ID/`:
+```
+control_logs/20250713-213106-iajsux/
+├── hs-testname-abc123.stderr.log     # Headscale server error logs
+├── hs-testname-abc123.stdout.log     # Headscale server output logs
+├── hs-testname-abc123.db             # Database snapshot for post-mortem
+├── hs-testname-abc123_metrics.txt    # Prometheus metrics dump
+├── hs-testname-abc123-mapresponses/  # Protocol-level debug data
+├── ts-client-xyz789.stderr.log       # Tailscale client error logs
+├── ts-client-xyz789.stdout.log       # Tailscale client output logs
+└── ts-client-xyz789_status.json      # Client network status dump
+```
+
+### Log Analysis Priority Order
+When tests fail, examine artifacts in this specific order:
+
+1. **Headscale server stderr logs** (`hs-*.stderr.log`): Look for errors, panics, database issues, policy evaluation failures
+2. **Tailscale client stderr logs** (`ts-*.stderr.log`): Check for authentication failures, network connectivity issues
+3. **MapResponse JSON files**: Protocol-level debugging for network map generation issues
+4. **Client status dumps** (`*_status.json`): Network state and peer connectivity information
+5. **Database snapshots** (`.db` files): For data consistency and state persistence issues
+
+## Common Failure Patterns and Root Cause Analysis
+
+### CRITICAL MINDSET: Code Issues vs Infrastructure Issues
+
+**⚠️ IMPORTANT**: When tests fail, it is ALMOST ALWAYS a code issue with Headscale, NOT infrastructure problems. Do not immediately blame disk space, Docker issues, or timing unless you have thoroughly investigated the actual error logs first.
+
+### Systematic Debugging Process
+
+1. **Read the actual error message**: Don't assume - read the stderr logs completely
+2. **Check Headscale server logs first**: Most issues originate from server-side logic
+3. **Verify client connectivity**: Only after ruling out server issues
+4. **Check timing patterns**: Use proper `EventuallyWithT` patterns
+5. **Infrastructure as last resort**: Only blame infrastructure after code analysis
+
+### Real Failure Patterns
+
+#### 1. Timing Issues (Common but fixable)
+```go
+// ❌ Wrong: Immediate assertions after async operations
+client.Execute([]string{"tailscale", "set", "--advertise-routes=10.0.0.0/24"})
+nodes, _ := headscale.ListNodes()
+require.Len(t, nodes[0].GetAvailableRoutes(), 1) // WILL FAIL
+
+// ✅ Correct: Wait for async operations
+client.Execute([]string{"tailscale", "set", "--advertise-routes=10.0.0.0/24"})
+require.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, nodes[0].GetAvailableRoutes(), 1)
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "route should be advertised")
+```
+
+**Timeout Guidelines**:
+- Route operations: 3-5 seconds
+- Node state changes: 5-10 seconds
+- Complex scenarios: 10-15 seconds
+- Policy recalculation: 5-10 seconds
+
+#### 2. NodeStore Synchronization Issues
+Route advertisements must propagate through poll requests (`poll.go:420`). NodeStore updates happen at specific synchronization points after Hostinfo changes.
+
+#### 3. Test Data Management Issues
+```go
+// ❌ Wrong: Assuming array ordering
+require.Len(t, nodes[0].GetAvailableRoutes(), 1)
+
+// ✅ Correct: Identify nodes by properties
+expectedRoutes := map[string]string{"1": "10.33.0.0/16"}
+for _, node := range nodes {
+    nodeIDStr := fmt.Sprintf("%d", node.GetId())
+    if route, shouldHaveRoute := expectedRoutes[nodeIDStr]; shouldHaveRoute {
+        // Test the specific node that should have the route
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. Database Backend Differences
+SQLite vs PostgreSQL have different timing characteristics:
+- Use `--postgres` flag for database-intensive tests
+- PostgreSQL generally has more consistent timing
+- Some race conditions only appear with specific backends
+
+## Resource Management and Cleanup
+
+### Disk Space Management
+Tests consume significant disk space (~100MB per run):
+```bash
+# Check available space before running tests
+df -h
+
+# Clean up test artifacts periodically
+rm -rf control_logs/older-timestamp-dirs/
+
+# Clean Docker resources
+docker system prune -f
+docker volume prune -f
+```
+
+### Container Cleanup
+- Successful tests clean up automatically
+- Failed tests may leave containers running
+- Manually clean if needed: `docker ps -a` and `docker rm -f <containers>`
+
+## Advanced Debugging Techniques
+
+### Protocol-Level Debugging
+MapResponse JSON files in `control_logs/*/hs-*-mapresponses/` contain:
+- Network topology as sent to clients
+- Peer relationships and visibility
+- Route distribution and primary route selection
+- Policy evaluation results
+
+### Database State Analysis
+Use the database snapshots for post-mortem analysis:
+```bash
+# SQLite examination
+sqlite3 control_logs/TIMESTAMP/hs-*.db
+.tables
+.schema nodes
+SELECT * FROM nodes WHERE name LIKE '%problematic%';
+```
+
+### Performance Analysis
+Prometheus metrics dumps show:
+- Request latencies and error rates
+- NodeStore operation timing
+- Database query performance
+- Memory usage patterns
+
+## Test Development and Quality Guidelines
+
+### Proper Test Patterns
+```go
+// Always use EventuallyWithT for async operations
+require.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    // Test condition that may take time to become true
+}, timeout, interval, "descriptive failure message")
+
+// Handle node identification correctly
+var targetNode *v1.Node
+for _, node := range nodes {
+    if node.GetName() == expectedNodeName {
+        targetNode = node
+        break
+    }
+}
+require.NotNil(t, targetNode, "should find expected node")
+```
+
+### Quality Validation Checklist
+- ✅ Tests use `EventuallyWithT` for asynchronous operations
+- ✅ Tests don't rely on array ordering for node identification
+- ✅ Proper cleanup and resource management
+- ✅ Tests handle both success and failure scenarios
+- ✅ Timing assumptions are realistic for operations being tested
+- ✅ Error messages are descriptive and actionable
+
+## Real-World Test Failure Patterns from HA Debugging
+
+### Infrastructure vs Code Issues - Detailed Examples
+
+**INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURES (Rare but Real)**:
+1. **DNS Resolution in Auth Tests**: `failed to resolve "hs-pingallbyip-jax97k": no DNS fallback candidates remain`
+   - **Pattern**: Client containers can't resolve headscale server hostname during logout
+   - **Detection**: Error messages specifically mention DNS/hostname resolution
+   - **Solution**: Docker networking reset, not code changes
+
+2. **Container Creation Timeouts**: Test gets stuck during client container setup
+   - **Pattern**: Tests hang indefinitely at container startup phase
+   - **Detection**: No progress in logs for >2 minutes during initialization
+   - **Solution**: `docker system prune -f` and retry
+
+3. **Docker Port Conflicts**: Multiple tests trying to use same ports
+   - **Pattern**: "bind: address already in use" errors
+   - **Detection**: Port binding failures in Docker logs
+   - **Solution**: Only run ONE test at a time
+
+**CODE ISSUES (99% of failures)**:
+1. **Route Approval Process Failures**: Routes not getting approved when they should be
+   - **Pattern**: Tests expecting approved routes but finding none
+   - **Detection**: `SubnetRoutes()` returns empty when `AnnouncedRoutes()` shows routes
+   - **Root Cause**: Auto-approval logic bugs, policy evaluation issues
+
+2. **NodeStore Synchronization Issues**: State updates not propagating correctly
+   - **Pattern**: Route changes not reflected in NodeStore or Primary Routes
+   - **Detection**: Logs show route announcements but no tracking updates
+   - **Root Cause**: Missing synchronization points in `poll.go:420` area
+
+3. **HA Failover Architecture Issues**: Routes removed when nodes go offline
+   - **Pattern**: `TestHASubnetRouterFailover` fails because approved routes disappear
+   - **Detection**: Routes available on online nodes but lost when nodes disconnect
+   - **Root Cause**: Conflating route approval with node connectivity
+
+### Critical Test Environment Setup
+
+**Pre-Test Cleanup (MANDATORY)**:
+```bash
+# ALWAYS run this before each test
+rm -rf control_logs/202507*
+docker system prune -f
+df -h  # Verify sufficient disk space
+```
+
+**Environment Verification**:
+```bash
+# Verify system readiness
+go run ./cmd/hi doctor
+
+# Check for running containers that might conflict
+docker ps
+```
+
+### Specific Test Categories and Known Issues
+
+#### Route-Related Tests (Primary Focus)
+```bash
+# Core route functionality - these should work first
+# Note: Generous timeouts are required for reliable execution
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestSubnetRouteACL" --timeout=1200s
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestAutoApproveMultiNetwork" --timeout=1800s
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestHASubnetRouterFailover" --timeout=1800s
+```
+
+**Common Route Test Patterns**:
+- Tests validate route announcement, approval, and distribution workflows
+- Route state changes are asynchronous - may need `EventuallyWithT` wrappers
+- Route approval must respect ACL policies - test expectations encode security requirements
+- HA tests verify route persistence during node connectivity changes
+
+#### Authentication Tests (Infrastructure-Prone)
+```bash
+# These tests are more prone to infrastructure issues
+# Require longer timeouts due to auth flow complexity
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestAuthKeyLogoutAndReloginSameUser" --timeout=1200s
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestAuthWebFlowLogoutAndRelogin" --timeout=1200s
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestOIDCExpireNodesBasedOnTokenExpiry" --timeout=1800s
+```
+
+**Common Auth Test Infrastructure Failures**:
+- DNS resolution during logout operations
+- Container creation timeouts
+- HTTP/2 stream errors (often symptoms, not root cause)
+
+### Security-Critical Debugging Rules
+
+**❌ FORBIDDEN CHANGES (Security & Test Integrity)**:
+1. **Never change expected test outputs** - Tests define correct behavior contracts
+   - Changing `require.Len(t, routes, 3)` to `require.Len(t, routes, 2)` because test fails
+   - Modifying expected status codes, node counts, or route counts
+   - Removing assertions that are "inconvenient"
+   - **Why forbidden**: Test expectations encode business requirements and security policies
+
+2. **Never bypass security mechanisms** - Security must never be compromised for convenience
+   - Using `AnnouncedRoutes()` instead of `SubnetRoutes()` in production code
+   - Skipping authentication or authorization checks
+   - **Why forbidden**: Security bypasses create vulnerabilities in production
+
+3. **Never reduce test coverage** - Tests prevent regressions
+   - Removing test cases or assertions
+   - Commenting out "problematic" test sections
+   - **Why forbidden**: Reduced coverage allows bugs to slip through
+
+**✅ ALLOWED CHANGES (Timing & Observability)**:
+1. **Fix timing issues with proper async patterns**
+   ```go
+   // ✅ GOOD: Add EventuallyWithT for async operations
+   require.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+       nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+       assert.NoError(c, err)
+       assert.Len(c, nodes, expectedCount) // Keep original expectation
+   }, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "nodes should reach expected count")
+   ```
+   - **Why allowed**: Fixes race conditions without changing business logic
+
+2. **Add MORE observability and debugging**
+   - Additional logging statements
+   - More detailed error messages
+   - Extra assertions that verify intermediate states
+   - **Why allowed**: Better observability helps debug without changing behavior
+
+3. **Improve test documentation**
+   - Add godoc comments explaining test purpose and business logic
+   - Document timing requirements and async behavior
+   - **Why encouraged**: Helps future maintainers understand intent
+
+### Advanced Debugging Workflows
+
+#### Route Tracking Debug Flow
+```bash
+# Run test with detailed logging and proper timeout
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestSubnetRouteACL" --timeout=1200s > test_output.log 2>&1
+
+# Check route approval process
+grep -E "(auto-approval|ApproveRoutesWithPolicy|PolicyManager)" test_output.log
+
+# Check route tracking
+tail -50 control_logs/*/hs-*.stderr.log | grep -E "(announced|tracking|SetNodeRoutes)"
+
+# Check for security violations
+grep -E "(AnnouncedRoutes.*SetNodeRoutes|bypass.*approval)" test_output.log
+```
+
+#### HA Failover Debug Flow
+```bash
+# Test HA failover specifically with adequate timeout
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestHASubnetRouterFailover" --timeout=1800s
+
+# Check route persistence during disconnect
+grep -E "(Disconnect|NodeWentOffline|PrimaryRoutes)" control_logs/*/hs-*.stderr.log
+
+# Verify routes don't disappear inappropriately
+grep -E "(removing.*routes|SetNodeRoutes.*empty)" control_logs/*/hs-*.stderr.log
+```
+
+### Test Result Interpretation Guidelines
+
+#### Success Patterns to Look For
+- `"updating node routes for tracking"` in logs
+- Routes appearing in `announcedRoutes` logs
+- Proper `ApproveRoutesWithPolicy` calls for auto-approval
+- Routes persisting through node connectivity changes (HA tests)
+
+#### Failure Patterns to Investigate
+- `SubnetRoutes()` returning empty when `AnnouncedRoutes()` has routes
+- Routes disappearing when nodes go offline (HA architectural issue)
+- Missing `EventuallyWithT` causing timing race conditions
+- Security bypass attempts using wrong route methods
+
+### Critical Testing Methodology
+
+**Phase-Based Testing Approach**:
+1. **Phase 1**: Core route tests (ACL, auto-approval, basic functionality)
+2. **Phase 2**: HA and complex route scenarios
+3. **Phase 3**: Auth tests (infrastructure-sensitive, test last)
+
+**Per-Test Process**:
+1. Clean environment before each test
+2. Monitor logs for route tracking and approval messages
+3. Check artifacts in `control_logs/` if test fails
+4. Focus on actual error messages, not assumptions
+5. Document results and patterns discovered
+
+## Test Documentation and Code Quality Standards
+
+### Adding Missing Test Documentation
+When you understand a test's purpose through debugging, always add comprehensive godoc:
+
+```go
+// TestSubnetRoutes validates the complete subnet route lifecycle including
+// advertisement from clients, policy-based approval, and distribution to peers.
+// This test ensures that route security policies are properly enforced and that
+// only approved routes are distributed to the network.
+//
+// The test verifies:
+// - Route announcements are received and tracked
+// - ACL policies control route approval correctly  
+// - Only approved routes appear in peer network maps
+// - Route state persists correctly in the database
+func TestSubnetRoutes(t *testing.T) {
+    // Test implementation...
+}
+```
+
+**Why add documentation**: Future maintainers need to understand business logic and security requirements encoded in tests.
+
+### Comment Guidelines - Focus on WHY, Not WHAT
+
+```go
+// ✅ GOOD: Explains reasoning and business logic
+// Wait for route propagation because NodeStore updates are asynchronous
+// and happen after poll requests complete processing
+require.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    // Check that security policies are enforced...
+}, timeout, interval, "route approval must respect ACL policies")
+
+// ❌ BAD: Just describes what the code does
+// Wait for routes
+require.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    // Get routes and check length
+}, timeout, interval, "checking routes")
+```
+
+**Why focus on WHY**: Helps maintainers understand architectural decisions and security requirements.
+
+## EventuallyWithT Pattern for External Calls
+
+### Overview
+EventuallyWithT is a testing pattern used to handle eventual consistency in distributed systems. In Headscale integration tests, many operations are asynchronous - clients advertise routes, the server processes them, updates propagate through the network. EventuallyWithT allows tests to wait for these operations to complete while making assertions.
+
+### External Calls That Must Be Wrapped
+The following operations are **external calls** that interact with the headscale server or tailscale clients and MUST be wrapped in EventuallyWithT:
+- `headscale.ListNodes()` - Queries server state
+- `client.Status()` - Gets client network status
+- `client.Curl()` - Makes HTTP requests through the network
+- `client.Traceroute()` - Performs network diagnostics
+- `client.Execute()` when running commands that query state
+- Any operation that reads from the headscale server or tailscale client
+
+### Five Key Rules for EventuallyWithT
+
+1. **One External Call Per EventuallyWithT Block**
+   - Each EventuallyWithT should make ONE external call (e.g., ListNodes OR Status)
+   - Related assertions based on that single call can be grouped together
+   - Unrelated external calls must be in separate EventuallyWithT blocks
+
+2. **Variable Scoping**
+   - Declare variables that need to be shared across EventuallyWithT blocks at function scope
+   - Use `=` for assignment inside EventuallyWithT, not `:=` (unless the variable is only used within that block)
+   - Variables declared with `:=` inside EventuallyWithT are not accessible outside
+
+3. **No Nested EventuallyWithT**
+   - NEVER put an EventuallyWithT inside another EventuallyWithT
+   - This is a critical anti-pattern that must be avoided
+
+4. **Use CollectT for Assertions**
+   - Inside EventuallyWithT, use `assert` methods with the CollectT parameter
+   - Helper functions called within EventuallyWithT must accept `*assert.CollectT`
+
+5. **Descriptive Messages**
+   - Always provide a descriptive message as the last parameter
+   - Message should explain what condition is being waited for
+
+### Correct Pattern Examples
+
+```go
+// CORRECT: Single external call with related assertions
+var nodes []*v1.Node
+var err error
+
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err = headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, nodes, 2)
+    // These assertions are all based on the ListNodes() call
+    requireNodeRouteCountWithCollect(c, nodes[0], 2, 2, 2)
+    requireNodeRouteCountWithCollect(c, nodes[1], 1, 1, 1)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "nodes should have expected route counts")
+
+// CORRECT: Separate EventuallyWithT for different external call
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    // All these assertions are based on the single Status() call
+    for _, peerKey := range status.Peers() {
+        peerStatus := status.Peer[peerKey]
+        requirePeerSubnetRoutesWithCollect(c, peerStatus, expectedPrefixes)
+    }
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "client should see expected routes")
+
+// CORRECT: Variable scoping for sharing between blocks
+var routeNode *v1.Node
+var nodeKey key.NodePublic
+
+// First EventuallyWithT to get the node
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    for _, node := range nodes {
+        if node.GetName() == "router" {
+            routeNode = node
+            nodeKey, _ = key.ParseNodePublicUntyped(mem.S(node.GetNodeKey()))
+            break
+        }
+    }
+    assert.NotNil(c, routeNode, "should find router node")
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "router node should exist")
+
+// Second EventuallyWithT using the nodeKey from first block
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    peerStatus, ok := status.Peer[nodeKey]
+    assert.True(c, ok, "peer should exist in status")
+    requirePeerSubnetRoutesWithCollect(c, peerStatus, expectedPrefixes)
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "routes should be visible to client")
+```
+
+### Incorrect Patterns to Avoid
+
+```go
+// INCORRECT: Multiple unrelated external calls in same EventuallyWithT
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    // First external call
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, nodes, 2)
+    
+    // Second unrelated external call - WRONG!
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.NotNil(c, status)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "mixed operations")
+
+// INCORRECT: Nested EventuallyWithT
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    // NEVER do this!
+    assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c2 *assert.CollectT) {
+        status, _ := client.Status()
+        assert.NotNil(c2, status)
+    }, 5*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "nested")
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "outer")
+
+// INCORRECT: Variable scoping error
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes() // This shadows outer 'nodes' variable
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "get nodes")
+
+// This will fail - nodes is nil because := created a new variable inside the block
+require.Len(t, nodes, 2) // COMPILATION ERROR or nil pointer
+
+// INCORRECT: Not wrapping external calls
+nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes() // External call not wrapped!
+require.NoError(t, err)
+```
+
+### Helper Functions for EventuallyWithT
+
+When creating helper functions for use within EventuallyWithT:
+
+```go
+// Helper function that accepts CollectT

+    assert.Len(c, node.GetAvailableRoutes(), available, "available routes for node %s", node.GetName())

+
+// Usage within EventuallyWithT

+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    requireNodeRouteCountWithCollect(c, nodes[0], 2, 2, 2)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "route counts should match expected")
+```
+
+### Operations That Must NOT Be Wrapped
+
+**CRITICAL**: The following operations are **blocking/mutating operations** that change state and MUST NOT be wrapped in EventuallyWithT:
+- `tailscale set` commands (e.g., `--advertise-routes`, `--accept-routes`)
+- `headscale.ApproveRoute()` - Approves routes on server
+- `headscale.CreateUser()` - Creates users
+- `headscale.CreatePreAuthKey()` - Creates authentication keys
+- `headscale.RegisterNode()` - Registers new nodes
+- Any `client.Execute()` that modifies configuration
+- Any operation that creates, updates, or deletes resources
+
+These operations:
+1. Complete synchronously or fail immediately
+2. Should not be retried automatically
+3. Need explicit error handling with `require.NoError()`
+
+### Correct Pattern for Blocking Operations
+
+```go
+// CORRECT: Blocking operation NOT wrapped
+status := client.MustStatus()
+command := []string{"tailscale", "set", "--advertise-routes=" + expectedRoutes[string(status.Self.ID)]}
+_, _, err = client.Execute(command)
+require.NoErrorf(t, err, "failed to advertise route: %s", err)
+
+// Then wait for the result with EventuallyWithT
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Contains(c, nodes[0].GetAvailableRoutes(), expectedRoutes[string(status.Self.ID)])
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "route should be advertised")
+
+// INCORRECT: Blocking operation wrapped (DON'T DO THIS)
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    _, _, err = client.Execute([]string{"tailscale", "set", "--advertise-routes=10.0.0.0/24"})
+    assert.NoError(c, err) // This might retry the command multiple times!
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "advertise routes")
+```
+
+### Assert vs Require Pattern
+
+When working within EventuallyWithT blocks where you need to prevent panics:
+
+```go
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    // For array bounds - use require with t to prevent panic
+    assert.Len(c, nodes, 6)  // Test expectation
+    require.GreaterOrEqual(t, len(nodes), 3, "need at least 3 nodes to avoid panic")
+    
+    // For nil pointer access - use require with t before dereferencing
+    assert.NotNil(c, srs1PeerStatus.PrimaryRoutes)  // Test expectation
+    require.NotNil(t, srs1PeerStatus.PrimaryRoutes, "primary routes must be set to avoid panic")
+    assert.Contains(c,
+        srs1PeerStatus.PrimaryRoutes.AsSlice(),
+        pref,
+    )
+}, 5*time.Second, 200*time.Millisecond, "checking route state")
+```
+
+**Key Principle**: 
+- Use `assert` with `c` (*assert.CollectT) for test expectations that can be retried
+- Use `require` with `t` (*testing.T) for MUST conditions that prevent panics
+- Within EventuallyWithT, both are available - choose based on whether failure would cause a panic
+
+### Common Scenarios
+
+1. **Waiting for route advertisement**:
+```go
+client.Execute([]string{"tailscale", "set", "--advertise-routes=10.0.0.0/24"})
+
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Contains(c, nodes[0].GetAvailableRoutes(), "10.0.0.0/24")
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "route should be advertised")
+```
+
+2. **Checking client sees routes**:
+```go
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    // Check all peers have expected routes
+    for _, peerKey := range status.Peers() {
+        peerStatus := status.Peer[peerKey]
+        assert.Contains(c, peerStatus.AllowedIPs, expectedPrefix)
+    }
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "all peers should see route")
+```
+
+3. **Sequential operations**:
+```go
+// First wait for node to appear
+var nodeID uint64
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, nodes, 1)
+    nodeID = nodes[0].GetId()
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "node should register")
+
+// Then perform operation
+_, err := headscale.ApproveRoute(nodeID, "10.0.0.0/24")
+require.NoError(t, err)
+
+// Then wait for result
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Contains(c, nodes[0].GetApprovedRoutes(), "10.0.0.0/24")
+}, 10*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond, "route should be approved")
+```
+
+## Your Core Responsibilities
+
+1. **Test Execution Strategy**: Execute integration tests with appropriate configurations, understanding when to use `--postgres` and timing requirements for different test categories. Follow phase-based testing approach prioritizing route tests.
+   - **Why this priority**: Route tests are less infrastructure-sensitive and validate core security logic
+
+2. **Systematic Test Analysis**: When tests fail, systematically examine artifacts starting with Headscale server logs, then client logs, then protocol data. Focus on CODE ISSUES first (99% of cases), not infrastructure. Use real-world failure patterns to guide investigation.
+   - **Why this approach**: Most failures are logic bugs, not environment issues - efficient debugging saves time
+
+3. **Timing & Synchronization Expertise**: Understand asynchronous Headscale operations, particularly route advertisements, NodeStore synchronization at `poll.go:420`, and policy propagation. Fix timing with `EventuallyWithT` while preserving original test expectations.
+   - **Why preserve expectations**: Test assertions encode business requirements and security policies
+   - **Key Pattern**: Apply the EventuallyWithT pattern correctly for all external calls as documented above
+
+4. **Root Cause Analysis**: Distinguish between actual code regressions (route approval logic, HA failover architecture), timing issues requiring `EventuallyWithT` patterns, and genuine infrastructure problems (DNS, Docker, container issues).
+   - **Why this distinction matters**: Different problem types require completely different solution approaches
+   - **EventuallyWithT Issues**: Often manifest as flaky tests or immediate assertion failures after async operations
+
+5. **Security-Aware Quality Validation**: Ensure tests properly validate end-to-end functionality with realistic timing expectations and proper error handling. Never suggest security bypasses or test expectation changes. Add comprehensive godoc when you understand test business logic.
+   - **Why security focus**: Integration tests are the last line of defense against security regressions
+   - **EventuallyWithT Usage**: Proper use prevents race conditions without weakening security assertions
+
+**CRITICAL PRINCIPLE**: Test expectations are sacred contracts that define correct system behavior. When tests fail, fix the code to match the test, never change the test to match broken code. Only timing and observability improvements are allowed - business logic expectations are immutable.
+
+**EventuallyWithT PRINCIPLE**: Every external call to headscale server or tailscale client must be wrapped in EventuallyWithT. Follow the five key rules strictly: one external call per block, proper variable scoping, no nesting, use CollectT for assertions, and provide descriptive messages.
+
+**Remember**: Test failures are usually code issues in Headscale that need to be fixed, not infrastructure problems to be ignored. Use the specific debugging workflows and failure patterns documented above to efficiently identify root causes. Infrastructure issues have very specific signatures - everything else is code-related.

+    ## Upgrade
+
+    Please follow the steps outlined in the [upgrade guide](https://headscale.net/stable/setup/upgrade/) to update your existing Headscale installation.
+
+    **It's best to update from one stable version to the next** (e.g., 0.24.0 → 0.25.1 → 0.26.1) in case you are multiple releases behind. You should always pick the latest available patch release.
+
+    Be sure to check the changelog above for version-specific upgrade instructions and breaking changes.
+
+    ### Backup Your Database
+
+    **Always backup your database before upgrading.** Here's how to backup a SQLite database:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Stop headscale
+    systemctl stop headscale
+
+    # Backup sqlite database
+    cp /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite.backup
+
+    # Backup sqlite WAL/SHM files (if they exist)
+    cp /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-wal /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-wal.backup
+    cp /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-shm /var/lib/headscale/db.sqlite-shm.backup
+
+    # Start headscale (migration will run automatically)
+    systemctl start headscale
+    ```

+      Open source implementation of the Tailscale control server.
+      Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the
+      Tailscale control server. Headscale's goal is to provide self-hosters and
+      hobbyists with an open-source server they can use for their projects and
+      labs. It implements a narrow scope, a single Tailscale network (tailnet),
+      suitable for a personal use, or a small open-source organisation.

+- `capver/`: Tailscale capability version management
+
+### Key Subsystem Interactions
+
+**Node Registration Flow**
+1. **Client Connection**: `noise.go` handles secure protocol handshake
+2. **Authentication**: `auth.go` validates credentials (web/OIDC/preauth)
+3. **State Creation**: `state.go` coordinates IP allocation via `db/ip.go`
+4. **Storage**: `db/node.go` persists node, `NodeStore` caches in memory
+5. **Network Setup**: `mapper/` generates initial Tailscale network map
+
+**Ongoing Operations**
+1. **Poll Requests**: `poll.go` receives periodic client updates
+2. **State Updates**: `NodeStore` maintains real-time node information
+3. **Policy Application**: `policy/` evaluates ACL rules for peer relationships
+4. **Map Distribution**: `mapper/` sends network topology to all affected clients
+
+**Route Management**
+1. **Advertisement**: Clients announce routes via `poll.go` Hostinfo updates
+2. **Storage**: `db/` persists routes, `NodeStore` caches for performance
+3. **Approval**: `policy/` auto-approves routes based on ACL rules
+4. **Distribution**: `routes/` selects primary routes, `mapper/` distributes to peers
+
+### Command-Line Tools (`cmd/`)
+
+**Main Server (`cmd/headscale/`)**
+- `headscale.go`: CLI parsing, configuration loading, server startup
+- Supports daemon mode, CLI operations (user/node management), database operations
+
+**Integration Test Runner (`cmd/hi/`)**
+- `main.go`: Test execution framework with Docker orchestration
+- `run.go`: Individual test execution with artifact collection
+- `doctor.go`: System requirements validation
+- `docker.go`: Container lifecycle management
+- Essential for validating changes against real Tailscale clients
+
+### Generated & External Code
+
+**Protocol Buffers (`proto/` → `gen/`)**
+- Defines gRPC API for headscale management operations
+- Client libraries can generate from these definitions
+- Run `make generate` after modifying `.proto` files
+
+**Integration Testing (`integration/`)**
+- `scenario.go`: Docker test environment setup
+- `tailscale.go`: Tailscale client container management
+- Individual test files for specific functionality areas
+- Real end-to-end validation with network isolation
+
+### Critical Performance Paths
+
+**High-Frequency Operations**
+1. **MapRequest Processing** (`poll.go`): Every 15-60 seconds per client
+2. **NodeStore Reads** (`node_store.go`): Every operation requiring node data
+3. **Policy Evaluation** (`policy/`): On every peer relationship calculation
+4. **Route Lookups** (`routes/`): During network map generation
+
+**Database Write Patterns**
+- **Frequent**: Node heartbeats, endpoint updates, route changes
+- **Moderate**: User operations, policy updates, API key management
+- **Rare**: Schema migrations, bulk operations
+
+### Configuration & Deployment
+
+**Configuration** (`hscontrol/types/config.go`)**
+- Database connection settings (SQLite/PostgreSQL)
+- Network configuration (IP ranges, DNS settings)
+- Policy mode (file vs database)
+- DERP relay configuration
+- OIDC provider settings
+
+**Key Dependencies**
+- **GORM**: Database ORM with migration support
+- **Tailscale Libraries**: Core networking and protocol code
+- **Zerolog**: Structured logging throughout the application
+- **Buf**: Protocol buffer toolchain for code generation
+
+### Development Workflow Integration
+
+The architecture supports incremental development:
+- **Unit Tests**: Focus on individual packages (`*_test.go` files)
+- **Integration Tests**: Validate cross-component interactions
+- **Database Tests**: Extensive migration and data integrity validation
+- **Policy Tests**: ACL rule evaluation and edge cases
+- **Performance Tests**: NodeStore and high-frequency operation validation
+
+## Integration Testing System
+
+### Overview
+Headscale uses Docker-based integration tests with real Tailscale clients to validate end-to-end functionality. The integration test system is complex and requires specialized knowledge for effective execution and debugging.
+
+### **MANDATORY: Use the headscale-integration-tester Agent**
+
+**CRITICAL REQUIREMENT**: For ANY integration test execution, analysis, troubleshooting, or validation, you MUST use the `headscale-integration-tester` agent. This agent contains specialized knowledge about:
+
+- Test execution strategies and timing requirements  
+- Infrastructure vs code issue distinction (99% vs 1% failure patterns)
+- Security-critical debugging rules and forbidden practices
+- Comprehensive artifact analysis workflows
+- Real-world failure patterns from HA debugging experiences
+
+### Quick Reference Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check system requirements (always run first)
+go run ./cmd/hi doctor
+
+# Run single test (recommended for development)  
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestName"
+
+# Use PostgreSQL for database-heavy tests
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestName" --postgres
+
+# Pattern matching for related tests
+go run ./cmd/hi run "TestPattern*"
+```
+
+**Critical Notes**:
+- Only ONE test can run at a time (Docker port conflicts)
+- Tests generate ~100MB of logs per run in `control_logs/`
+- Clean environment before each test: `rm -rf control_logs/202507* && docker system prune -f`
+
+### Test Artifacts Location
+All test runs save comprehensive debugging artifacts to `control_logs/TIMESTAMP-ID/` including server logs, client logs, database dumps, MapResponse protocol data, and Prometheus metrics.
+
+**For all integration test work, use the headscale-integration-tester agent - it contains the complete knowledge needed for effective testing and debugging.**
+
+## NodeStore Implementation Details
+
+**Key Insight from Recent Work**: The NodeStore is a critical performance optimization that caches node data in memory while ensuring consistency with the database. When working with route advertisements or node state changes:
+
+1. **Timing Considerations**: Route advertisements need time to propagate from clients to server. Use `require.EventuallyWithT()` patterns in tests instead of immediate assertions.

+2. **Synchronization Points**: NodeStore updates happen at specific points like `poll.go:420` after Hostinfo changes. Ensure these are maintained when modifying the polling logic.
+
+3. **Peer Visibility**: The NodeStore's `peersFunc` determines which nodes are visible to each other. Policy-based filtering is separate from monitoring visibility - expired nodes should remain visible for debugging but marked as expired.
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+### Integration Test Patterns
+
+#### **CRITICAL: EventuallyWithT Pattern for External Calls**
+
+**All external calls in integration tests MUST be wrapped in EventuallyWithT blocks** to handle eventual consistency in distributed systems. External calls include:
+- `client.Status()` - Getting Tailscale client status
+- `client.Curl()` - Making HTTP requests through clients
+- `client.Traceroute()` - Running network diagnostics
+- `headscale.ListNodes()` - Querying headscale server state
+- Any other calls that interact with external systems or network operations
+
+**Key Rules**:
+1. **Never use bare `require.NoError(t, err)` with external calls** - Always wrap in EventuallyWithT
+2. **Keep related assertions together** - If multiple assertions depend on the same external call, keep them in the same EventuallyWithT block
+3. **Split unrelated external calls** - Different external calls should be in separate EventuallyWithT blocks
+4. **Never nest EventuallyWithT calls** - Each EventuallyWithT should be at the same level
+5. **Declare shared variables at function scope** - Variables used across multiple EventuallyWithT blocks must be declared before first use
+
+**Examples**:
+
+```go
+// CORRECT: External call wrapped in EventuallyWithT
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    // Related assertions using the same status call
+    for _, peerKey := range status.Peers() {
+        peerStatus := status.Peer[peerKey]
+        assert.NotNil(c, peerStatus.PrimaryRoutes)
+        requirePeerSubnetRoutesWithCollect(c, peerStatus, expectedRoutes)
+    }
+}, 5*time.Second, 200*time.Millisecond, "Verifying client status and routes")
+
+// INCORRECT: Bare external call without EventuallyWithT
+status, err := client.Status()  // ❌ Will fail intermittently
+require.NoError(t, err)
+
+// CORRECT: Separate EventuallyWithT for different external calls
+// First external call - headscale.ListNodes()
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, nodes, 2)
+    requireNodeRouteCountWithCollect(c, nodes[0], 2, 2, 2)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "route state changes should propagate to nodes")
+
+// Second external call - client.Status() 
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    for _, peerKey := range status.Peers() {
+        peerStatus := status.Peer[peerKey]
+        requirePeerSubnetRoutesWithCollect(c, peerStatus, []netip.Prefix{tsaddr.AllIPv4(), tsaddr.AllIPv6()})
+    }
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "routes should be visible to client")
+
+// INCORRECT: Multiple unrelated external calls in same EventuallyWithT
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()  // ❌ First external call
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    status, err := client.Status()  // ❌ Different external call - should be separate
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "mixed calls")
+
+// CORRECT: Variable scoping for shared data
+var (
+    srs1, srs2, srs3       *ipnstate.Status
+    clientStatus           *ipnstate.Status
+    srs1PeerStatus         *ipnstate.PeerStatus
+)
+
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    srs1 = subRouter1.MustStatus()  // = not :=
+    srs2 = subRouter2.MustStatus()
+    clientStatus = client.MustStatus()
+    
+    srs1PeerStatus = clientStatus.Peer[srs1.Self.PublicKey]
+    // assertions...
+}, 5*time.Second, 200*time.Millisecond, "checking router status")
+
+// CORRECT: Wrapping client operations
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    result, err := client.Curl(weburl)
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, result, 13)
+}, 5*time.Second, 200*time.Millisecond, "Verifying HTTP connectivity")
+
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    tr, err := client.Traceroute(webip)
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assertTracerouteViaIPWithCollect(c, tr, expectedRouter.MustIPv4())
+}, 5*time.Second, 200*time.Millisecond, "Verifying network path")
+```
+
+**Helper Functions**:
+- Use `requirePeerSubnetRoutesWithCollect` instead of `requirePeerSubnetRoutes` inside EventuallyWithT
+- Use `requireNodeRouteCountWithCollect` instead of `requireNodeRouteCount` inside EventuallyWithT
+- Use `assertTracerouteViaIPWithCollect` instead of `assertTracerouteViaIP` inside EventuallyWithT
+
+```go
+// Node route checking by actual node properties, not array position
+var routeNode *v1.Node
+for _, node := range nodes {
+    if nodeIDStr := fmt.Sprintf("%d", node.GetId()); expectedRoutes[nodeIDStr] != "" {
+        routeNode = node
+        break
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Running Problematic Tests
+- Some tests require significant time (e.g., `TestNodeOnlineStatus` runs for 12 minutes)
+- Infrastructure issues like disk space can cause test failures unrelated to code changes  
+- Use `--postgres` flag when testing database-heavy scenarios
+
+## Quality Assurance and Testing Requirements
+
+### **MANDATORY: Always Use Specialized Testing Agents**
+
+**CRITICAL REQUIREMENT**: For ANY task involving testing, quality assurance, review, or validation, you MUST use the appropriate specialized agent at the END of your task list. This ensures comprehensive quality validation and prevents regressions.
+
+**Required Agents for Different Task Types**:
+
+1. **Integration Testing**: Use `headscale-integration-tester` agent for:
+   - Running integration tests with `cmd/hi`
+   - Analyzing test failures and artifacts
+   - Troubleshooting Docker-based test infrastructure
+   - Validating end-to-end functionality changes
+
+2. **Quality Control**: Use `quality-control-enforcer` agent for:
+   - Code review and validation
+   - Ensuring best practices compliance  
+   - Preventing common pitfalls and anti-patterns
+   - Validating architectural decisions
+
+**Agent Usage Pattern**: Always add the appropriate agent as the FINAL step in any task list to ensure quality validation occurs after all work is complete.
+
+### Integration Test Debugging Reference
+
+Test artifacts are preserved in `control_logs/TIMESTAMP-ID/` including:
+- Headscale server logs (stderr/stdout)
+- Tailscale client logs and status  
+- Database dumps and network captures
+- MapResponse JSON files for protocol debugging
+
+**For integration test issues, ALWAYS use the headscale-integration-tester agent - do not attempt manual debugging.**
+
+## EventuallyWithT Pattern for Integration Tests
+
+### Overview
+EventuallyWithT is a testing pattern used to handle eventual consistency in distributed systems. In Headscale integration tests, many operations are asynchronous - clients advertise routes, the server processes them, updates propagate through the network. EventuallyWithT allows tests to wait for these operations to complete while making assertions.
+
+### External Calls That Must Be Wrapped
+The following operations are **external calls** that interact with the headscale server or tailscale clients and MUST be wrapped in EventuallyWithT:
+- `headscale.ListNodes()` - Queries server state
+- `client.Status()` - Gets client network status
+- `client.Curl()` - Makes HTTP requests through the network
+- `client.Traceroute()` - Performs network diagnostics
+- `client.Execute()` when running commands that query state
+- Any operation that reads from the headscale server or tailscale client
+
+### Operations That Must NOT Be Wrapped
+The following are **blocking operations** that modify state and should NOT be wrapped in EventuallyWithT:
+- `tailscale set` commands (e.g., `--advertise-routes`, `--exit-node`)
+- Any command that changes configuration or state
+- Use `client.MustStatus()` instead of `client.Status()` when you just need the ID for a blocking operation
+
+### Five Key Rules for EventuallyWithT
+
+1. **One External Call Per EventuallyWithT Block**
+   - Each EventuallyWithT should make ONE external call (e.g., ListNodes OR Status)
+   - Related assertions based on that single call can be grouped together
+   - Unrelated external calls must be in separate EventuallyWithT blocks
+
+2. **Variable Scoping**
+   - Declare variables that need to be shared across EventuallyWithT blocks at function scope
+   - Use `=` for assignment inside EventuallyWithT, not `:=` (unless the variable is only used within that block)
+   - Variables declared with `:=` inside EventuallyWithT are not accessible outside
+
+3. **No Nested EventuallyWithT**
+   - NEVER put an EventuallyWithT inside another EventuallyWithT
+   - This is a critical anti-pattern that must be avoided
+
+4. **Use CollectT for Assertions**
+   - Inside EventuallyWithT, use `assert` methods with the CollectT parameter
+   - Helper functions called within EventuallyWithT must accept `*assert.CollectT`
+
+5. **Descriptive Messages**
+   - Always provide a descriptive message as the last parameter
+   - Message should explain what condition is being waited for
+
+### Correct Pattern Examples
+
+```go
+// CORRECT: Blocking operation NOT wrapped
+for _, client := range allClients {
+    status := client.MustStatus()
+    command := []string{
+        "tailscale",
+        "set",
+        "--advertise-routes=" + expectedRoutes[string(status.Self.ID)],
+    }
+    _, _, err = client.Execute(command)
+    require.NoErrorf(t, err, "failed to advertise route: %s", err)
+}
+
+// CORRECT: Single external call with related assertions
+var nodes []*v1.Node
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    nodes, err = headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, nodes, 2)
+    requireNodeRouteCountWithCollect(c, nodes[0], 2, 2, 2)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "nodes should have expected route counts")
+
+// CORRECT: Separate EventuallyWithT for different external call
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    for _, peerKey := range status.Peers() {
+        peerStatus := status.Peer[peerKey]
+        requirePeerSubnetRoutesWithCollect(c, peerStatus, expectedPrefixes)
+    }
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "client should see expected routes")
+```
+
+### Incorrect Patterns to Avoid
+
+```go
+// INCORRECT: Blocking operation wrapped in EventuallyWithT
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    
+    // This is a blocking operation - should NOT be in EventuallyWithT!
+    command := []string{
+        "tailscale",
+        "set",
+        "--advertise-routes=" + expectedRoutes[string(status.Self.ID)],
+    }
+    _, _, err = client.Execute(command)
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+}, 5*time.Second, 200*time.Millisecond, "wrong pattern")
+
+// INCORRECT: Multiple unrelated external calls in same EventuallyWithT
+assert.EventuallyWithT(t, func(c *assert.CollectT) {
+    // First external call
+    nodes, err := headscale.ListNodes()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.Len(c, nodes, 2)
+    
+    // Second unrelated external call - WRONG!
+    status, err := client.Status()
+    assert.NoError(c, err)
+    assert.NotNil(c, status)
+}, 10*time.Second, 500*time.Millisecond, "mixed operations")
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Dependencies**: Use `nix develop` for consistent toolchain (Go, buf, protobuf tools, linting)
+- **Protocol Buffers**: Changes to `proto/` require `make generate` and should be committed separately
+- **Code Style**: Enforced via golangci-lint with golines (width 88) and gofumpt formatting
+- **Database**: Supports both SQLite (development) and PostgreSQL (production/testing)
+- **Integration Tests**: Require Docker and can consume significant disk space - use headscale-integration-tester agent
+- **Performance**: NodeStore optimizations are critical for scale - be careful with changes to state management
+- **Quality Assurance**: Always use appropriate specialized agents for testing and validation tasks
+- **NEVER create gists in the user's name**: Do not use the `create_gist` tool - present information directly in the response instead

+# Contributing
+
+Headscale is "Open Source, acknowledged contribution", this means that any contribution will have to be discussed with the maintainers before being added to the project.
+This model has been chosen to reduce the risk of burnout by limiting the maintenance overhead of reviewing and validating third-party code.
+
+## Why do we have this model?
+
+Headscale has a small maintainer team that tries to balance working on the project, fixing bugs and reviewing contributions.
+
+When we work on issues ourselves, we develop first hand knowledge of the code and it makes it possible for us to maintain and own the code as the project develops.
+
+Code contributions are seen as a positive thing. People enjoy and engage with our project, but it also comes with some challenges; we have to understand the code, we have to understand the feature, we might have to become familiar with external libraries or services and we think about security implications. All those steps are required during the reviewing process. After the code has been merged, the feature has to be maintained. Any changes reliant on external services must be updated and expanded accordingly.
+
+The review and day-1 maintenance adds a significant burden on the maintainers. Often we hope that the contributor will help out, but we found that most of the time, they disappear after their new feature was added.
+
+This means that when someone contributes, we are mostly happy about it, but we do have to run it through a series of checks to establish if we actually can maintain this feature.
+
+## What do we require?
+
+A general description is provided here and an explicit list is provided in our pull request template.
+
+All new features have to start out with a design document, which should be discussed on the issue tracker (not discord). It should include a use case for the feature, how it can be implemented, who will implement it and a plan for maintaining it.
+
+All features have to be end-to-end tested (integration tests) and have good unit test coverage to ensure that they work as expected. This will also ensure that the feature continues to work as expected over time. If a change cannot be tested, a strong case for why this is not possible needs to be presented.
+
+The contributor should help to maintain the feature over time. In case the feature is not maintained probably, the maintainers reserve themselves the right to remove features they redeem as unmaintainable. This should help to improve the quality of the software and keep it in a maintainable state.
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+Headscale is open to code contributions for bug fixes without discussion.
+
+## Documentation
+
+If you find mistakes in the documentation, please submit a fix to the documentation.

-An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale coordination server.
+An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server.

-## Overview
+Join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/c84AZQhmpx) for a chat.

-Tailscale is [a modern VPN](https://tailscale.com/) built on top of [Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/). It [works like an overlay network](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/) between the computers of your networks - using all kinds of [NAT traversal sorcery](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/).
+**Note:** Always select the same GitHub tag as the released version you use
+to ensure you have the correct example configuration. The `main` branch might
+contain unreleased changes. The documentation is available for stable and
+development versions:

-Everything in Tailscale is Open Source, except the GUI clients for proprietary OS (Windows and macOS/iOS), and the 'coordination/control server'.
+- [Documentation for the stable version](https://headscale.net/stable/)
+- [Documentation for the development version](https://headscale.net/development/)

-The control server works as an exchange point of Wireguard public keys for the nodes in the Tailscale network. It also assigns the IP addresses of the clients, creates the boundaries between each user, enables sharing machines between users, and exposes the advertised routes of your nodes.
+## What is Tailscale

-## Status
+Everything in Tailscale is Open Source, except the GUI clients for proprietary OS
+(Windows and macOS/iOS), and the control server.

- [x] Base functionality (nodes can communicate with each other)
- [x] Node registration through the web flow
- [x] Network changes are relayed to the nodes
- [x] Namespace support (~equivalent to multi-user in Tailscale.com)
- [x] Routing (advertise & accept, including exit nodes)
- [x] Node registration via pre-auth keys (including reusable keys, and ephemeral node support)
- [x] JSON-formatted output
- [x] ACLs
- [x] Taildrop (File Sharing)
- [x] Support for alternative IP ranges in the tailnets (default Tailscale's 100.64.0.0/10)
- [x] DNS (passing DNS servers to nodes)
- [x] Share nodes between ~~users~~ namespaces
- [ ] MagicDNS / Smart DNS
+The control server works as an exchange point of Wireguard public keys for the
+nodes in the Tailscale network. It assigns the IP addresses of the clients,
+creates the boundaries between each user, enables sharing machines between users,
+and exposes the advertised routes of your nodes.
+
+A [Tailscale network (tailnet)](https://tailscale.com/kb/1136/tailnet/) is private
+network which Tailscale assigns to a user in terms of private users or an
+organisation.
+
+## Design goal
+
+Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the
+[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) control server. Headscale's goal is to
+provide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open-source server they can use for
+their projects and labs. It implements a narrow scope, a _single_ Tailscale
+network (tailnet), suitable for a personal use, or a small open-source
+organisation.
+
+## Supporting Headscale
+
+If you like `headscale` and find it useful, there is a sponsorship and donation
+buttons available in the repo.
+
+## Features
+
+Please see ["Features" in the documentation](https://headscale.net/stable/about/features/).

 ## Client OS support

-| OS | Supports headscale |
-| --- | --- |
-| Linux | Yes |
-| OpenBSD | Yes |
-| macOS | Yes (see `/apple` on your headscale for more information) |
-| Windows | Yes |
-| Android | [You need to compile the client yourself](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/issues/58#issuecomment-885255270) |
-| iOS | Not yet |
+Please see ["Client and operating system support" in the documentation](https://headscale.net/stable/about/clients/).

-## Roadmap 🤷
+## Running headscale

-Suggestions/PRs welcomed!
+**Please note that we do not support nor encourage the use of reverse proxies
+and container to run Headscale.**

-## Running it
+Please have a look at the [`documentation`](https://headscale.net/stable/).

-1. Download the Headscale binary https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/releases, and place it somewhere in your PATH or use the docker container
+## Talks

-   ```shell
-   docker pull headscale/headscale:x.x.x
-   ```
-
-   <!--
-    or
-    ```shell
-    docker pull ghrc.io/juanfont/headscale:x.x.x
-    ``` -->
-
-2. (Optional, you can also use SQLite) Get yourself a PostgreSQL DB running
-
-   ```shell
-   docker run --name headscale -e POSTGRES_DB=headscale -e \
-     POSTGRES_USER=foo -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=bar -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
-   ```
-
-3. Set some stuff up (headscale Wireguard keys & the config.json file)
-
-   ```shell
-   wg genkey > private.key
-   wg pubkey < private.key > public.key  # not needed
-
-   # Postgres
-   cp config.json.postgres.example config.json
-   # or
-   # SQLite
-   cp config.json.sqlite.example config.json
-   ```
-
-4. Create a namespace (a namespace is a 'tailnet', a group of Tailscale nodes that can talk to each other)
-
-   ```shell
-   headscale namespaces create myfirstnamespace
-   ```
-
-   or docker:
-
-   the db.sqlite mount is only needed if you use sqlite
-
-   ```shell
-   touch db.sqlite
-   docker run -v $(pwd)/private.key:/private.key -v $(pwd)/config.json:/config.json -v $(pwd)/derp.yaml:/derp.yaml -v $(pwd)/db.sqlite:/db.sqlite -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 headscale/headscale:x.x.x headscale namespaces create myfirstnamespace
-   ```
-
-   or if your server is already running in docker:
-
-   ```shell
-   docker exec <container_name> headscale create myfirstnamespace
-   ```
-
-5. Run the server
-
-   ```shell
-   headscale serve
-   ```
-
-   or docker:
-
-   the db.sqlite mount is only needed if you use sqlite
-
-   ```shell
-   docker run -v $(pwd)/private.key:/private.key -v $(pwd)/config.json:/config.json -v $(pwd)/derp.yaml:/derp.yaml -v $(pwd)/db.sqlite:/db.sqlite -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 headscale/headscale:x.x.x headscale serve
-   ```
-
-6. If you used tailscale.com before in your nodes, make sure you clear the tailscald data folder
-
-   ```shell
-   systemctl stop tailscaled
-   rm -fr /var/lib/tailscale
-   systemctl start tailscaled
-   ```
-
-7. Add your first machine
-
-   ```shell
-   tailscale up --login-server YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL
-   ```
-
-8. Navigate to the URL you will get with `tailscale up`, where you'll find your machine key.
-
-9. In the server, register your machine to a namespace with the CLI
-   ```shell
-   headscale -n myfirstnamespace nodes register YOURMACHINEKEY
-   ```
-   or docker:
-   ```shell
-   docker run -v $(pwd)/private.key:/private.key -v $(pwd)/config.json:/config.json -v $(pwd)/derp.yaml:/derp.yaml headscale/headscale:x.x.x headscale -n myfirstnamespace nodes register YOURMACHINEKEY
-   ```
-   or if your server is already running in docker:
-   ```shell
-   docker exec <container_name> headscale -n myfirstnamespace nodes register YOURMACHINEKEY
-   ```
-
-Alternatively, you can use Auth Keys to register your machines:
-
-1. Create an authkey
-
-   ```shell
-   headscale -n myfirstnamespace preauthkeys create --reusable --expiration 24h
-   ```
-
-   or docker:
-
-   ```shell
-   docker run -v $(pwd)/private.key:/private.key -v $(pwd)/config.json:/config.json -v$(pwd)/derp.yaml:/derp.yaml -v $(pwd)/db.sqlite:/db.sqlite headscale/headscale:x.x.x headscale -n myfirstnamespace preauthkeys create --reusable --expiration 24h
-   ```
-
-   or if your server is already running in docker:
-
-   ```shell
-   docker exec <container_name> headscale -n myfirstnamespace preauthkeys create --reusable --expiration 24h
-   ```
-
-2. Use the authkey from your machine to register it
-   ```shell
-   tailscale up --login-server YOUR_HEADSCALE_URL --authkey YOURAUTHKEY
-   ```
-
-If you create an authkey with the `--ephemeral` flag, that key will create ephemeral nodes. This implies that `--reusable` is true.
-
-Please bear in mind that all the commands from headscale support adding `-o json` or `-o json-line` to get a nicely JSON-formatted output.
-
-## Configuration reference
-
-Headscale's configuration file is named `config.json` or `config.yaml`. Headscale will look for it in `/etc/headscale`, `~/.headscale` and finally the directory from where the Headscale binary is executed.
-
-```
-    "server_url": "http://192.168.1.12:8080",
-    "listen_addr": "0.0.0.0:8080",
-    "ip_prefix": "100.64.0.0/10"
-```
-
-`server_url` is the external URL via which Headscale is reachable. `listen_addr` is the IP address and port the Headscale program should listen on. `ip_prefix` is the IP prefix (range) in which IP addresses for nodes will be allocated (default 100.64.0.0/10, e.g., 192.168.4.0/24, 10.0.0.0/8)
-
-```
-    "log_level": "debug"
-```
-
-`log_level` can be used to set the Log level for Headscale, it defaults to `debug`, and the available levels are: `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn` and `error`.
-
-```
-    "private_key_path": "private.key",
-```
-
-`private_key_path` is the path to the Wireguard private key. If the path is relative, it will be interpreted as relative to the directory the configuration file was read from.
-
-```
-    "derp_map_path": "derp.yaml",
-```
-
-`derp_map_path` is the path to the [DERP](https://pkg.go.dev/tailscale.com/derp) map file. If the path is relative, it will be interpreted as relative to the directory the configuration file was read from.
-
-```
-    "ephemeral_node_inactivity_timeout": "30m",
-```
-
-`ephemeral_node_inactivity_timeout` is the timeout after which inactive ephemeral node records will be deleted from the database. The default is 30 minutes. This value must be higher than 65 seconds (the keepalive timeout for the HTTP long poll is 60 seconds, plus a few seconds to avoid race conditions).
-
-```
-    "db_host": "localhost",
-    "db_port": 5432,
-    "db_name": "headscale",
-    "db_user": "foo",
-    "db_pass": "bar",
-```
-
-The fields starting with `db_` are used for the PostgreSQL connection information.
-
-### Running the service via TLS (optional)
-
-```
-    "tls_cert_path": ""
-    "tls_key_path": ""
-```
-
-Headscale can be configured to expose its web service via TLS. To configure the certificate and key file manually, set the `tls_cert_path` and `tls_cert_path` configuration parameters. If the path is relative, it will be interpreted as relative to the directory the configuration file was read from.
-
-```
-    "tls_letsencrypt_hostname": "",
-    "tls_letsencrypt_listen": ":http",
-    "tls_letsencrypt_cache_dir": ".cache",
-    "tls_letsencrypt_challenge_type": "HTTP-01",
-```
-
-To get a certificate automatically via [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/), set `tls_letsencrypt_hostname` to the desired certificate hostname. This name must resolve to the IP address(es) Headscale is reachable on (i.e., it must correspond to the `server_url` configuration parameter). The certificate and Let's Encrypt account credentials will be stored in the directory configured in `tls_letsencrypt_cache_dir`. If the path is relative, it will be interpreted as relative to the directory the configuration file was read from. The certificate will automatically be renewed as needed.
-
-#### Challenge type HTTP-01
-
-The default challenge type `HTTP-01` requires that Headscale is reachable on port 80 for the Let's Encrypt automated validation, in addition to whatever port is configured in `listen_addr`. By default, Headscale listens on port 80 on all local IPs for Let's Encrypt automated validation.
-
-If you need to change the ip and/or port used by Headscale for the Let's Encrypt validation process, set `tls_letsencrypt_listen` to the appropriate value. This can be handy if you are running Headscale as a non-root user (or can't run `setcap`). Keep in mind, however, that Let's Encrypt will _only_ connect to port 80 for the validation callback, so if you change `tls_letsencrypt_listen` you will also need to configure something else (e.g. a firewall rule) to forward the traffic from port 80 to the ip:port combination specified in `tls_letsencrypt_listen`.
-
-#### Challenge type TLS-ALPN-01
-
-Alternatively, `tls_letsencrypt_challenge_type` can be set to `TLS-ALPN-01`. In this configuration, Headscale listens on the ip:port combination defined in `listen_addr`. Let's Encrypt will _only_ connect to port 443 for the validation callback, so if `listen_addr` is not set to port 443, something else (e.g. a firewall rule) will be required to forward the traffic from port 443 to the ip:port combination specified in `listen_addr`.
-
-### Policy ACLs
-
-Headscale implements the same policy ACLs as Tailscale.com, adapted to the self-hosted environment.
-
-For instance, instead of referring to users when defining groups you must
-use namespaces (which are the equivalent to user/logins in Tailscale.com).
-
-Please check https://tailscale.com/kb/1018/acls/, and `./tests/acls/` in this repo for working examples.
-
-### Apple devices
-
-An endpoint with information on how to connect your Apple devices (currently macOS only) is available at `/apple` on your running instance.

 ## Disclaimer

-1. We have nothing to do with Tailscale, or Tailscale Inc.
-2. The purpose of writing this was to learn how Tailscale works.
+This project is not associated with Tailscale Inc.

-## More on Tailscale
+However, one of the active maintainers for Headscale [is employed by Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/blog/opensource) and he is allowed to spend work hours contributing to the project. Contributions from this maintainer are reviewed by other maintainers.

- https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/
- https://tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-key-management/
- https://tailscale.com/blog/an-unlikely-database-migration/
+The maintainers work together on setting the direction for the project. The underlying principle is to serve the community of self-hosters, enthusiasts and hobbyists - while having a sustainable project.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Please read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) file.
+
+### Requirements
+
+To contribute to headscale you would need the latest version of [Go](https://golang.org)
+and [Buf](https://buf.build) (Protobuf generator).
+
+We recommend using [Nix](https://nixos.org/) to setup a development environment. This can
+be done with `nix develop`, which will install the tools and give you a shell.
+This guarantees that you will have the same dev env as `headscale` maintainers.
+
+### Code style
+
+To ensure we have some consistency with a growing number of contributions,
+this project has adopted linting and style/formatting rules:
+
+The **Go** code is linted with [`golangci-lint`](https://golangci-lint.run) and
+formatted with [`golines`](https://github.com/segmentio/golines) (width 88) and
+[`gofumpt`](https://github.com/mvdan/gofumpt).
+Please configure your editor to run the tools while developing and make sure to
+run `make lint` and `make fmt` before committing any code.
+
+The **Proto** code is linted with [`buf`](https://docs.buf.build/lint/overview) and
+formatted with [`clang-format`](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).
+
+The **rest** (Markdown, YAML, etc) is formatted with [`prettier`](https://prettier.io).
+
+Check out the `.golangci.yaml` and `Makefile` to see the specific configuration.
+
+### Install development tools
+
+- Go
+- Buf
+- Protobuf tools
+
+Install and activate:
+
+```shell
+nix develop
+```
+
+### Testing and building
+
+Some parts of the project require the generation of Go code from Protobuf
+(if changes are made in `proto/`) and it must be (re-)generated with:
+
+```shell
+make generate
+```
+
+**Note**: Please check in changes from `gen/` in a separate commit to make it easier to review.
+
+To run the tests:
+
+```shell
+make test
+```
+
+To build the program:
+
+```shell
+make build
+```
+
+### Development workflow
+
+We recommend using Nix for dependency management to ensure you have all required tools. If you prefer to manage dependencies yourself, you can use Make directly:
+
+**With Nix (recommended):**
+```shell
+nix develop
+make test
+make build
+```
+
+**With your own dependencies:**
+```shell
+make test
+make build
+```
+
+The Makefile will warn you if any required tools are missing and suggest running `nix develop`. Run `make help` to see all available targets.

+# Frequently Asked Questions
+
+## What is the design goal of headscale?
+
+Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the
+[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) control server. Headscale's goal is to
+provide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open-source server they can use for
+their projects and labs. It implements a narrow scope, a _single_ Tailscale
+network (tailnet), suitable for a personal use, or a small open-source
+organisation.
+
+## How can I contribute?
+
+Headscale is "Open Source, acknowledged contribution", this means that any
+contribution will have to be discussed with the Maintainers before being submitted.
+
+Please see [Contributing](contributing.md) for more information.
+
+## Why is 'acknowledged contribution' the chosen model?
+
+Both maintainers have full-time jobs and families, and we want to avoid burnout. We also want to avoid frustration from contributors when their PRs are not accepted.
+
+We are more than happy to exchange emails, or to have dedicated calls before a PR is submitted.
+
+## When/Why is Feature X going to be implemented?
+
+We don't know. We might be working on it. If you're interested in contributing, please post a feature request about it.
+
+Please be aware that there are a number of reasons why we might not accept specific contributions:
+
+- It is not possible to implement the feature in a way that makes sense in a self-hosted environment.
+- Given that we are reverse-engineering Tailscale to satisfy our own curiosity, we might be interested in implementing the feature ourselves.
+- You are not sending unit and integration tests with it.
+
+## Do you support Y method of deploying headscale?
+
+We currently support deploying headscale using our binaries and the DEB packages. Visit our [installation guide using
+official releases](../setup/install/official.md) for more information.
+
+In addition to that, you may use packages provided by the community or from distributions. Learn more in the
+[installation guide using community packages](../setup/install/community.md).
+
+For convenience, we also [build container images with headscale](../setup/install/container.md). But **please be aware that
+we don't officially support deploying headscale using Docker**. On our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/c84AZQhmpx)
+we have a "docker-issues" channel where you can ask for Docker-specific help to the community.
+
+## What is the recommended update path? Can I skip multiple versions while updating?
+
+Please follow the steps outlined in the [upgrade guide](../setup/upgrade.md) to update your existing Headscale
+installation. Its best to update from one stable version to the next (e.g. 0.24.0 &rarr; 0.25.1 &rarr; 0.26.1) in case
+you are multiple releases behind. You should always pick the latest available patch release.
+
+Be sure to check the [changelog](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for version specific
+upgrade instructions and breaking changes.
+
+## Scaling / How many clients does Headscale support?
+
+It depends. As often stated, Headscale is not enterprise software and our focus
+is homelabbers and self-hosters. Of course, we do not prevent people from using
+it in a commercial/professional setting and often get questions about scaling.
+
+Please note that when Headscale is developed, performance is not part of the
+consideration as the main audience is considered to be users with a modest
+amount of devices. We focus on correctness and feature parity with Tailscale
+SaaS over time.
+
+To understand if you might be able to use Headscale for your use case, I will
+describe two scenarios in an effort to explain what is the central bottleneck
+of Headscale:
+
+1. An environment with 1000 servers
+
+   - they rarely "move" (change their endpoints)
+   - new nodes are added rarely
+
+2. An environment with 80 laptops/phones (end user devices)
+
+   - nodes move often, e.g. switching from home to office
+
+Headscale calculates a map of all nodes that need to talk to each other,
+creating this "world map" requires a lot of CPU time. When an event that
+requires changes to this map happens, the whole "world" is recalculated, and a
+new "world map" is created for every node in the network.
+
+This means that under certain conditions, Headscale can likely handle 100s
+of devices (maybe more), if there is _little to no change_ happening in the
+network. For example, in Scenario 1, the process of computing the world map is
+extremely demanding due to the size of the network, but when the map has been
+created and the nodes are not changing, the Headscale instance will likely
+return to a very low resource usage until the next time there is an event
+requiring the new map.
+
+In the case of Scenario 2, the process of computing the world map is less
+demanding due to the smaller size of the network, however, the type of nodes
+will likely change frequently, which would lead to a constant resource usage.
+
+Headscale will start to struggle when the two scenarios overlap, e.g. many nodes
+with frequent changes will cause the resource usage to remain constantly high.
+In the worst case scenario, the queue of nodes waiting for their map will grow
+to a point where Headscale never will be able to catch up, and nodes will never
+learn about the current state of the world.
+
+We expect that the performance will improve over time as we improve the code
+base, but it is not a focus. In general, we will never make the tradeoff to make
+things faster on the cost of less maintainable or readable code. We are a small
+team and have to optimise for maintainability.
+
+## Which database should I use?
+
+We recommend the use of SQLite as database for headscale:
+
+- SQLite is simple to setup and easy to use
+- It scales well for all of headscale's use cases
+- Development and testing happens primarily on SQLite
+- PostgreSQL is still supported, but is considered to be in "maintenance mode"
+
+The headscale project itself does not provide a tool to migrate from PostgreSQL to SQLite. Please have a look at [the
+related tools documentation](../ref/integration/tools.md) for migration tooling provided by the community.
+
+The choice of database has little to no impact on the performance of the server,
+see [Scaling / How many clients does Headscale support?](#scaling-how-many-clients-does-headscale-support) for understanding how Headscale spends its resources.
+
+## Why is my reverse proxy not working with headscale?
+
+We don't know. We don't use reverse proxies with headscale ourselves, so we don't have any experience with them. We have
+[community documentation](../ref/integration/reverse-proxy.md) on how to configure various reverse proxies, and a
+dedicated "reverse-proxy-issues" channel on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/c84AZQhmpx) where you can ask for
+help to the community.
+
+## Can I use headscale and tailscale on the same machine?
+
+Running headscale on a machine that is also in the tailnet can cause problems with subnet routers, traffic relay nodes, and MagicDNS. It might work, but it is not supported.
+
+## Why do two nodes see each other in their status, even if an ACL allows traffic only in one direction?
+
+A frequent use case is to allow traffic only from one node to another, but not the other way around. For example, the
+workstation of an administrator should be able to connect to all nodes but the nodes themselves shouldn't be able to
+connect back to the administrator's node. Why do all nodes see the administrator's workstation in the output of
+`tailscale status`?
+
+This is essentially how Tailscale works. If traffic is allowed to flow in one direction, then both nodes see each other
+in their output of `tailscale status`. Traffic is still filtered according to the ACL, with the exception of `tailscale
+ping` which is always allowed in either direction.
+
+See also <https://tailscale.com/kb/1087/device-visibility>.
+
+## My policy is stored in the database and Headscale refuses to start due to an invalid policy. How can I recover?
+
+Headscale checks if the policy is valid during startup and refuses to start if it detects an error. The error message
+indicates which part of the policy is invalid. Follow these steps to fix your policy:
+
+- Dump the policy to a file: `headscale policy get --bypass-grpc-and-access-database-directly > policy.json`
+- Edit and fixup `policy.json`. Use the command `headscale policy check --file policy.json` to validate the policy.
+- Load the modified policy: `headscale policy set --bypass-grpc-and-access-database-directly --file policy.json`
+- Start Headscale as usual.
+
+!!! warning "Full server configuration required"
+
+    The above commands to get/set the policy require a complete server configuration file including database settings. A
+    minimal config to [control Headscale via remote CLI](../ref/remote-cli.md) is not sufficient. You may use `headscale
+    -c /path/to/config.yaml` to specify the path to an alternative configuration file.
+
+## How can I avoid to send logs to Tailscale Inc?
+
+A Tailscale client [collects logs about its operation and connection attempts with other
+clients](https://tailscale.com/kb/1011/log-mesh-traffic#client-logs) and sends them to a central log service operated by
+Tailscale Inc.
+
+Headscale, by default, instructs clients to disable log submission to the central log service. This configuration is
+applied by a client once it successfully connected with Headscale. See the configuration option `logtail.enabled` in the
+[configuration file](../ref/configuration.md) for details.
+
+Alternatively, logging can also be disabled on the client side. This is independent of Headscale and opting out of
+client logging disables log submission early during client startup. The configuration is operating system specific and
+is usually achieved by setting the environment variable `TS_NO_LOGS_NO_SUPPORT=true` or by passing the flag
+`--no-logs-no-support` to `tailscaled`. See
+<https://tailscale.com/kb/1011/log-mesh-traffic#opting-out-of-client-logging> for details.

+
+## Design goal
+
+Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the
+[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) control server. Headscale's goal is to
+provide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open-source server they can use for
+their projects and labs. It implements a narrow scope, a _single_ Tailscale
+network (tailnet), suitable for a personal use, or a small open-source
+organisation.
