To avoid permission denied errors when modifying Tailscale configuration (serve/funnel),
we now attempt the command directly first. If it fails, we catch the error and retry
with `sudo -n`. This preserves existing behavior for users where it works, but
attempts to escalate privileges (non-interactively) if needed.
- Added `execWithSudoFallback` helper in `src/infra/tailscale.ts`.
- Updated `ensureFunnel`, `enableTailscaleServe`, `disableTailscaleServe`,
`enableTailscaleFunnel`, and `disableTailscaleFunnel` to use the fallback helper.
- Added tests in `src/infra/tailscale.test.ts` to verify fallback behavior.
To avoid permission denied errors when modifying Tailscale configuration (serve/funnel),
we now prepend `sudo -n` to these commands. This ensures that if the user has appropriate
sudo privileges (specifically passwordless for these commands or generally), the operation
succeeds. If sudo fails (e.g. requires password non-interactively), it will throw an error
which is caught and logged as a warning, preserving existing behavior but attempting to escalate privileges first.
- Updated `ensureFunnel` to use `sudo -n` for the enabling step.
- Updated `enableTailscaleServe`, `disableTailscaleServe`, `enableTailscaleFunnel`, `disableTailscaleFunnel` to use `sudo -n`.
- Added tests in `src/infra/tailscale.test.ts` to verify `sudo` usage.
This PR includes three main improvements:
1. Tailscale Binary Detection with Fallback Strategies
- Added findTailscaleBinary() with multi-strategy detection:
* PATH lookup via 'which' command
* Known macOS app path (/Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale)
* find /Applications for Tailscale.app
* locate database lookup
- Added getTailscaleBinary() with caching
- Updated all Tailscale operations to use detected binary
- Added TUI warning when Tailscale binary not found for serve/funnel modes
2. Custom Gateway IP Binding with Fallback
- New bind mode "custom" allowing user-specified IP with fallback to 0.0.0.0
- Removed "tailnet" mode (folded into "auto")
- All modes now support graceful fallback: custom (if fail → 0.0.0.0), loopback (127.0.0.1 → 0.0.0.0), auto (tailnet → 0.0.0.0), lan (0.0.0.0)
- Added customBindHost config option for custom bind mode
- Added canBindTo() helper to test IP availability before binding
- Updated configure and onboarding wizards with new bind mode options
3. Health Probe Password Auth Fix
- Gateway probe now tries both new and old passwords
- Fixes issue where password change fails health check if gateway hasn't restarted yet
- Uses nextConfig password first, falls back to baseConfig password if needed
