Fixes #21889.

With the desktop backend running in WSL and Tailscale running separately on Windows and inside WSL, the pairing link pointed at the Windows Tailscale address. That address never reaches the backend, so pairing from another machine timed out until the user swapped in the WSL tailnet IP by hand.

When the running primary is the WSL backend, the desktop now asks the distro for its own IPv4 addresses (hostname -I, the probe it already uses) and for its own Tailscale IPs (tailscale ip -4), both cached for 60s. It then advertises only the addresses the backend actually has:

  • NAT networking (the default): the Windows LAN and Tailscale IPs are dropped, and the Tailscale IP the distro's own Tailscale reports is added. A 100.x address from another VPN is not mistaken for Tailscale. That is the address the reporter confirmed works.
  • Mirrored networking: the distro shares the Windows addresses, so nothing changes.
  • Unchanged in every mode: loopback, Tailscale HTTPS (Serve forwards to loopback and checks its own reachability) and custom endpoints.
  • If the probe fails, or WSL-only is set but the desktop fell back to the Windows backend, the Windows addresses are kept as before.

The distro's own NAT address (172.x) is never advertised, because other machines can't reach it.

Evidence

NAT, mirrored and probe failure: vp test run src/backend/DesktopServerExposure.test.ts runs getAdvertisedEndpoints end to end against a mocked wsl.exe and Tailscale CLI. It covers:

  • NAT: distro has 172.20.1.5 100.64.0.9. The Windows LAN and Tailscale IPs are dropped, http://100.64.0.9 is added, and the NAT address is not.
  • Mirrored: the distro shares the Windows addresses, so every endpoint is kept.
  • Probe failure: the Windows endpoints are kept.

Mirrored, on a real Windows 11 host (26200) running WSL2 with networkingMode=mirrored. The probe this PR uses sees the Windows addresses inside the distro, so mirrored setups keep the same endpoints they had before (addresses partly redacted):

1Windows Ethernet: 192.168.88.x
2Windows Tailscale: 100.115.x.x
3wsl.exe -- sh -c "hostname -I" -> 100.115.x.x 192.168.88.x fd7a:115c:a1e0::… (IPv6 ignored)

Not checked: NAT mode on real hardware. Switching this host to NAT means restarting WSL, which is running a live T3 server. That case comes from the reporter's diagnosis (WSL listener 0.0.0.0:3773, Windows listener 127.0.0.1:3773, WSL tailnet IP reachable from another machine) plus the NAT test above.

Made with Claude Code (Sonnet 5.5 implementation, Opus 5.5 review) in T3 Code.

Walkthrough

When WSL is the primary backend, the desktop probes distro addresses to filter advertised Windows endpoints and add matching distro Tailscale endpoints. It caches probe results for 60 seconds and filters endpoint state when the endpoint host is not reachable from the distro.

Changes: WSL endpoint advertisement

Layer / File(s)Summary
Address probing and endpoint creation
apps/desktop/src/wsl/DesktopWslEnvironment.ts, apps/desktop/src/backend/tailscaleEndpointProvider.ts		WSL shell execution now supports reusable IPv4 and Tailscale probes. The endpoint provider exposes createTailscaleIpAdvertisedEndpoint.
Runtime routing and endpoint selection
apps/desktop/src/backend/DesktopServerExposure.ts, apps/desktop/src/backend/DesktopBackendConfiguration.ts		When WSL is primary and probing succeeds, endpoint generation retains reachable Windows endpoints and adds missing distro Tailscale endpoints. Probes use the configured distro and a 60-second cache. Backend configuration synchronizes WSL-primary state.
Validation and service stubs
apps/desktop/src/backend/DesktopServerExposure.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/backend/DesktopBackendConfiguration.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/window/DesktopWindow.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/wsl/DesktopWslBackend.test.ts		Tests cover NAT, mirrored networking, failed probes, and Windows-primary behavior. Test services implement setWslPrimary.

Explanation

The changes satisfy the coding requirements in [#21889]. DesktopBackendConfiguration pins the selected WSL primary, and DesktopServerExposure probes that distro for IPv4 and Tailscale IPv4 addresses. Endpoint selection removes unreachable Windows addresses, adds the distro Tailscale endpoint, excludes the distro NAT address, and retains loopback, Serve, and custom endpoints. Probe failure, empty probe output, and Windows-primary fallback preserve the existing Windows endpoints. DesktopServerExposure.test.ts covers NAT, mirrored networking, probe failure, empty output, fallback behavior, and pinned-distro probing.

Knip reports selectWslReachableEndpoints as an unused export and fails vp run knip:check. Keep the helper private unless another module needs to import it. As per coding guidelines, “Knip fails CI on an unused export.” As per path instructions, “New exports must be used, since Knip checks for unused exports.”

Use the resolved primary when selecting advertised endpoints.

isAvailable is captured once. If it is false, resolvePrimary selects Windows without clearing the WSL flags. A later successful wsl.exe address probe then lets getAdvertisedEndpoints apply WSL filtering to the Windows primary and remove reachable Windows LAN or Tailscale endpoints.

Use the resolved primary to apply WSL filtering only when the running primary is WSL.

Iishaanko20d ago

[claude-opus-5-5] RESPONDING ON BEHALF OF ISHAAN

Fixed in 73e7fe276. resolvePrimary now records whether the primary it chose is WSL (serverExposure.setWslPrimary(useWsl)), and getAdvertisedEndpoints filters only when that is true. A persisted wsl-only setting that fell back to the Windows primary keeps the Windows endpoints, and a test covers that case.

CcoderabbitaiBot20d ago

@ishaanko Thanks for the fix. getAdvertisedEndpoints now uses the recorded primary instead of the persisted WSL settings. When Windows is the primary, it preserves the Windows endpoints without probing WSL.

Verify WSL Tailscale membership before advertising the address.

probeDistroIpv4Addresses returns every IPv4 address from hostname -I. selectWslReachableEndpoints then creates a Tailscale endpoint for every returned address in 100.64.0.0/10. A non-Tailscale VPN address in that shared CGNAT range can therefore be advertised as a Tailnet endpoint.

The Windows resolver already avoids this range-only heuristic by checking the interface identity, Tailscale IPv6 prefix, or matching Tailscale status. Extend the distro probe to verify the address through the distro's Tailscale interface or status. If that query is unavailable, retain the existing fallback instead of labeling the address as Tailscale.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @ishaanko

[claude-opus-5-5] RESPONDING ON BEHALF OF ISHAAN

Fixed in 73e7fe276. A distro address is advertised as a Tailscale IP only if the distro's own tailscale ip -4 reports it and hostname -I also lists it. The 100.64.0.0/10 range check is no longer used on this path. If Tailscale is missing or fails in the distro, no distro Tailscale endpoint is added, and Windows endpoints are still filtered by hostname -I.

CcoderabbitaiBot20d ago

@ishaanko The supplied code addresses this finding. A distro Tailscale endpoint now requires an address from both tailscale ip -4 and hostname -I. It no longer uses the CGNAT range check on this path.

If the distro Tailscale probe fails, no distro Tailscale endpoint is added. Windows endpoint filtering remains unchanged.

Add named spans to the two address probes.

Wrap probeDistroIpv4Addresses and probeDistroTailscaleIpv4Addresses with named Effect.fn calls. The current cache span does not identify which shell probe took time or failed. Effect.fn creates a span when given a name. (effect.website)

As per path instructions, “Reusable Effect functions should use named Effect.fn spans.”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Probe the running distro, not the current default distro.

When wslDistro is null, DesktopBackendConfiguration.ts pins the backend launch to preflight.runningDistro, but this lookup converts the cache key back to the current WSL default. If the user changes the default distro while the backend runs, endpoint selection can remove the running backend’s addresses and advertise the new default distro’s Tailscale address. Preserve the resolved runningDistro for the cache key and both probes. WSL permits changing the default distro independently of a running command. (learn.microsoft.com)

✅ Addressed in commit 30ce8c1

Iishaanko20d ago

[claude-opus-5-5] RESPONDING ON BEHALF OF ISHAAN

Fixed in 30ce8c15b. resolvePrimary now passes the distro the backend was actually launched in (config.runningDistro, which preflight pins in default-tracking mode) to setWslPrimary. That distro is the cache key and the target of both probes, so changing the WSL default while the backend runs doesn't redirect the probe. A test checks that only the pinned distro is queried.

@ishaanko Verified the fix in the current code. resolvePrimary passes config.runningDistro to setWslPrimary. The cache key and both probes use that pinned distro, so a later WSL default change does not redirect the probes.

On CodeRabbit's nitpick about named spans for the WSL probes: done in e1dd67a10. probeDistroIpv4Addresses and probeDistroTailscaleIpv4Addresses are now named Effect.fns, so each probe gets its own span.

thanks @ishaanko. your running-distro pinning and checking the distro's own tailscale address are retained, along with your commits.

i merged current main and simplified duplicated probe test setup. review fixes preserve explicit lan overrides, deduplicate full urls instead of hosts, and clear the rejected windows lan fallback from exposure state. empty address output now follows the existing probe-failure fallback.

verification at bc0bf53aae7fcbd8b7f954e328ae7784cd759042:

  • the nat regression fails against main's implementation with windows addresses instead of the distro address.
  • override, distinct-port, stale-fallback, and empty-probe cases failed before their fixes.
  • blacksmith vp run check:changed passes: formatting, lint, knip, both affected typechecks, and 77 tests across six existing files.
  • all 28 ci checks pass; cafe reports mergeable.

unverified: actual windows/wsl nat pairing from another tailnet device and before/after ui evidence. this linux vm has no windows/wsl runtime. @ishaanko, the original mirrored evidence remains useful; real nat pairing still needs confirmation. two independent review rounds identified three issues, now addressed; the final fallback/empty-probe correction was checked but not independently re-reviewed within the round limit. the automatic bot review is rate-limited. awaiting maria's approval.

[claude-opus-5-5] RESPONDING ON BEHALF OF ISHAAN

@maria-rcks real NAT pairing, as asked. It turned up a bug, fixed in b1ec6caa98.

Setup. Windows 11 26200, WSL 2.7.12, Ubuntu switched to networkingMode=nat (then back to mirrored). Tailscale runs on Windows (100.115.x.x) and, separately, inside the distro (Ubuntu's snap, 100.107.x.x). This branch's server listened inside the distro on 0.0.0.0:3874. On Windows, the desktop's real DesktopServerExposure was run under Node with the real wsl.exe, Tailscale CLI and network interfaces, once with main's DesktopServerExposure.ts and once with this branch's, which pins the WSL primary the way DesktopBackendConfiguration does. Then a MacBook on the same tailnet paired (POST /api/auth/browser-session with a fresh pairing credential) against every non-loopback http address each version advertised.

Run 1, branch at bc0bf53:

AdvertisedPairing from the Mac
mainLAN 192.168.88.x (default), Windows Tailscale 100.115.x.x, Tailscale HTTPSboth timed out (8s)
this PRloopback, Tailscale HTTPSnone: the distro's Tailscale address was missing

The PR dropped the unreachable Windows addresses but never added the distro's. probeDistroTailscaleIpv4Addresses runs tailscale ip -4 through wsl.exe -- sh -c, a non-login shell, and /snap/bin (where Ubuntu's snap installs Tailscale) only reaches PATH through the login profile. The same call from Windows Node returns sh: 1: tailscale: not found, exit 127. An apt-installed Tailscale in /usr/bin would still be found, which may be why the reporter's setup worked.

Fix (b1ec6caa98). The probe falls back to /snap/bin/tailscale ip -4 when tailscale isn't found. The 36 tests in DesktopServerExposure.test.ts and DesktopWslEnvironment.test.ts and the desktop typecheck pass. No new unit test: the mocked spawner can't model a binary missing from that shell's PATH, so the real run below is the check.

Run 2, with b1ec6caa98:

AdvertisedPairing from the Mac
mainLAN 192.168.88.x (default), Windows Tailscale 100.115.x.x, Tailscale HTTPSboth timed out (8s)
this PRloopback, Tailscale HTTPS, distro Tailscale http://100.107.x.x:3874200 in 0.13s, authenticated: true

Still not covered: the packaged desktop app's Connections UI. The advertised list above comes from the same service that UI reads, just without Electron. The distro's NAT address (172.24.x.x) was never advertised, as intended.

Verified in a real dev environment

verification attempted at 234a42076934994695081c97188ff367b3980d54 on a disposable ubuntu vm. outcome: unverifiable for the changed wsl behavior.

  • installed dependencies on github/main (2a738273e7) in a separate worktree and on the exact pr head. ran only one dev server at a time, stopping main by its captured process group first.
  • on main, used repository playwright with /usr/bin/google-chrome, paired the real web client, added the real git checkout through the app, selected codex gpt-6.1-sol, and completed a turn that ran pwd and git rev-parse --show-toplevel. the client displayed verification-main-ok and done.
  • on the pr head, the real server started on ports 13773/5733. browser pairing returned 200, session/discovery returned 200, and websocket upgrade returned 101.
  • the pr client then stalled before project creation. server logs contain prolonged event-loop stalls, including 165967 ms and 309043 ms. no pr provider turn completed. this is a runtime finding; i cannot attribute it to this desktop-only diff. the attempt exceeded the ten-minute stall limit and was stopped, with no further provider attempts.

inspected command/runtime transcript

Not verified

this linux vm has no windows host, wsl.exe, or tailscale installation. i could not reproduce the original wrong-address bug on main or exercise the fix through the desktop connections ui. nat/mirrored networking, remote-tailnet pairing, pinned distro probes, snap tailscale fallback, explicit lan overrides, probe-failure fallback, and tailscale https remain unverified here. native mobile clients were not exercised.

no before/after capture or recording proves the changed interaction, so none is presented as evidence. the earlier contributor windows/mac result is useful discussion, but is not a result i reproduced. ci reports 30 successful checks; that does not establish runtime correctness. no source changes or pushes were made. task dev servers and browsers have been stopped.

Thanks @maria-rcks. On the event-loop stall: this PR only changes apps/desktop, and vp run dev doesn't load any of it. So the PR head's server and web came from its merge base 220eb73524, which is 273 commits behind the 2a738273e7 baseline you ran on main. Those commits include event-loop hang fixes such as #26183 and #26177. I can't tell which one, if any, explains your stall.

I merged main (dac30f602d), so the PR head now runs the same server and web as your baseline. Then I repeated your flow on that head (Ubuntu under WSL2, Linux x86_64), using an empty worktree .t3:

1[dev-runner] serverPort=14583 webPort=6543 baseDir=<worktree>/.t3
2POST /api/auth/browser-session -> 200
3GET /.well-known/t3/environment -> 200
4t3 project add /tmp/t3-23030-proj -> Added project a4689657-... (2.3s)
5t3 thread start --provider claudeAgent --model claude-haiku-5-5 --wait "Run pwd and git rev-parse --show-toplevel, then reply with verification-pr-ok."
6 /tmp/t3-23030-proj
7 /tmp/t3-23030-proj
8 verification-pr-ok
9grep "event loop stalled" dev.log -> none, 12:12 to 12:19

Differences from your run: I added the project and ran the turn through the CLI rather than a browser. I also used Claude, because Codex isn't signed in under an empty dev home. Desktop tests (57), desktop typecheck and lint pass on the merge.

For the WSL behavior a Linux VM can't reach, the real Windows run is in the NAT pairing comment. In NAT mode with Tailscale only inside the distro, main advertised the Windows LAN and Windows Tailscale addresses, and neither was reachable from the Mac. This head advertised the distro's tailnet address, and the Mac paired with it (200, 0.13s). That run also found the snap PATH bug fixed in b1ec6caa98. Mirrored mode, explicit LAN overrides, Tailscale HTTPS and mobile clients were not part of that run.

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the proof has no capture anyone can open:

  • Permanent environment blocker: Windows desktop and NAT-networked WSL2 are unavailable on this Linux VM; the scenario runner cannot exercise desktop shell/IPC behavior.
  • The base offering the unreachable Windows Tailscale endpoint was not observed.
  • The head offering the WSL Tailscale endpoint and successfully pairing from another tailnet computer was not observed.
  • No capture URLs or driver uploads exist because the required reproduction could not run.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
