Reported from an iPad on 2026-08-18: officer.pertento.ai, gitea.pertento.ai and
*.edge.pertento.ai all failed with "couldn't establish a secure connection", while
desktop clients on the same tailnet reached them with a valid certificate.
The provider DID apply dnsSettings — it just scoped them to the MagicDNS suffix
alone. Everything Headscale overrides lives under an unrelated domain: dns.extra_records
serves an A record for a name like officer.pertento.ai, and dns.nameservers.split
gives one domain its own resolver. Neither is under the tailnet suffix, so iOS never
sent those queries to us. The device asked public DNS instead and got the public
answer — which for these names is a TAILNET address belonging to a DIFFERENT machine
(100.64.0.4 rather than the bridge at 100.64.0.12). TLS then failed against a host
holding no certificate for that name, which is exactly what Safari reported.
Nothing was missing from the server: CorpDNS is true, so the netmap already carried
the split routes and the extra records. The data simply had no way across to Swift.
So Go gains DNSMatchDomains(), returning the split-DNS route keys, the tailnet search
domains, and the PARENT zone of each extra record — the parent because a record is a
host, and one entry then covers its siblings without the device being told about each
one. Swift builds matchDomains from the suffix plus those, and remembers them exactly
as it remembers the suffix, because the fast path applies settings before any netmap
exists and would otherwise reintroduce this bug on every reconnect. Forgotten with the
suffix when the profile changes: those domains belong to the tailnet that sent them.
Deliberately NOT the catch-all [""], which the COMMS note suggested as an option. That
is already in this file and reserved for exit-node mode. Off an exit node it would put
every lookup on the phone through a resolver that cannot always forward — the failure
Android hit, and worse than this one: a broken tailnet name is an app that will not
load, a broken everything is a phone with no internet.
Android needs no change: it has no matchDomains equivalent and already routes all DNS
at the core.

gomobile upgraded six indirect golang.org/x modules while building the core — crypto,
mobile, mod, net, text, tools — and go.mod recorded it. Committing so a fresh clone
compiles the same core rather than whatever those pseudo-versions resolve to next week.
All indirect, all golang.org/x, no change to the tailscale.com pin at v1.102.0.

Extracted from the officer-suite monorepo into its own public repo. The app is
open source and free; the rest of the suite is not, so it could not stay in a
tree that ships an account layer.
What moved:
- apps/offscale/* -> repo root (App shell, app.json, assets)
- packages/officer-net/ -> modules/officer-net/, a `file:` dependency
- packages/core VPN closure -> src/vpn/ (screen, hook, native bridge, invite)
- packages/core shared primitives -> src/ui/ (theme, cards, tabs, backdrop, splash)
- scripts/build-{ios,android}.sh -> scripts/, cut down to this one app
What deliberately did NOT move: the platform account layer. VpnScreen used to
render core's AppSettingsScreen, which drags in ServersSection -> servers.ts,
useAuth, api.ts, shared-session, install-guard, api-keys. None of that exists
here. src/settings/SettingsScreen.tsx is a fresh replacement rendering exactly
what VpnScreen passed it — the app's own sections plus About — with no Servers
tab, no Appearance control (the app is pinned to dark) and no sign-out.
The one platform reference left in the closure was a dead `import { request }
from './api'` in officer-net.ts, unused since enrollVpn() was removed. Gone. The
app now contacts nothing but the control server you point it at, its peers, and
the enrolment sidecar named inside an invite link you tapped.
Dependencies are pinned to the exact versions the monorepo has installed, not to
ranges: this repo starts from versions already proven to build, and an unpinned
install is a supply-chain decision nobody made. react-query, react-dom,
react-native-screens, expo-secure-store, track-player, expo-audio and
expo-file-system were all declared by the old app and imported by none of this
code, so they are not here.
NOTICE carries Tailscale's BSD-3 text, names the built artifacts that contain
their compiled code, and treats the trademark question separately — including
that src/ui/TailscaleMark.tsx reproduces their logo in the attribution strip.
