- Added functionality to track the remote SHA of the agent source, improving consistency during updates.
- Implemented a new method to sync the full support-agent source from GitHub, ensuring all necessary files are staged for rebuilds.
- Introduced a mechanism to check for agent source drift, allowing for automatic repairs when discrepancies are detected.
- Updated the update service to trigger agent source synchronization and rebuilds based on specific file changes, streamlining the update workflow.
- Implemented a conditional staging process for the Go support-agent source during updates, creating a rebuild flag for generator bundles.
- Added functions to handle the requeuing of builds and marking rebuilds as pending, improving the update workflow.
- Updated the update service to stage support-agent files and trigger rebuilds after in-app updates.
- Removed the obsolete GitHub Actions workflow for the support agent, streamlining CI/CD processes.
- Added a new function to stage the Go support-agent source for Generator builds, ensuring proper setup without a full git checkout.
- Refactored connection handling to improve TLS configuration, allowing for insecure connections based on environment variables.
- Updated UI elements for better user experience, including resizing and wrapping labels for status messages.
- Enhanced the enrollment process with improved error handling and status updates.
- Introduced new environment variables and command-line options for running the agent without a GUI, catering to environments like VMs or RDP.
- Updated README and build scripts to reflect new features and requirements.
- Added audio stream handling to the agent, including support for audio start and stop messages.
- Introduced lifecycle callbacks for consent and session management in the agent configuration.
- Updated desktop handling to utilize new consent handler and session start/end callbacks.
- Improved UI to reflect enrollment status and consent requests, enhancing user experience.
- Refactored branding structure to include additional color properties for better theming.
Expose global connection strategy in the web panel with systemd/Docker persistence, extend server health diagnostics, enforce org network policy in the signal handler, and document when relay fallback is expected vs misconfiguration.
Merge .env keys instead of replacing files, patch systemd/NSSM in place,
block panel updates when the server cannot be rebuilt, and stop routine
updates from syncing admin passwords from .env into auth.db/PostgreSQL.
Node now persists auth_provider on SSO provisioning and re-syncs role/provider after Go login success, including SQLite auth.db backfill. Go login returns auth_provider; LDAP group mapping accepts CN keys and newlines. Default agent build cache under dataDir to avoid EACCES.

Privilege separation across all installers so the long-running services no longer run with full administrative rights:
betterdesk.sh: installer keeps root but systemd units now run as a dedicated unprivileged 'betterdesk' system account by default (auto-created via ensure_service_user). Added full systemd hardening for the Go server (NoNewPrivileges, ProtectSystem=strict, ProtectHome, PrivateTmp, ReadWritePaths) and light hardening for the Node.js console. chown migrates existing root-owned data to the service account on update. Opt-out via --run-as-root / BETTERDESK_RUN_AS_ROOT=1; custom account via BETTERDESK_SERVICE_USER. Minimal mode covered too.
betterdesk.ps1: NSSM services now run under their per-service low-privilege virtual accounts (NT SERVICE\<service>) instead of LocalSystem, with scoped icacls grants on the install/data dirs (Set-ServiceLeastPrivilege helper). Applied to the Go server, Node.js console and minimal-mode service. Opt-out via -RunAsRoot / BETTERDESK_RUN_AS_ROOT=1.
Docker: verified already privilege-separated (supervisord drops both programs to user=betterdesk; multi-container images drop via su-exec).
Also bundles in-progress changes to the Go server API, Node.js console services and Docker compose/Dockerfiles.

- Implemented user groups creation, editing, and deletion features.
- Added API endpoints for managing user groups: create, update, and delete.
- Enhanced user interface with a dedicated user groups manager section.
- Updated translations for user groups related strings in multiple languages.
- Improved CSS styles for user groups display and actions.
- Added tests for user groups API functionality.
- Added user group membership functionality, allowing users to be assigned to groups.
- Introduced validation for group GUIDs and enhanced error handling in user routes.
- Updated device group routes to support allowed user groups, enabling better access control for devices.
- Enhanced database schema to include user group memberships and device group user group access.
- Updated services and database adapters to handle user group data and relationships.
- Modified front-end views to display and manage user groups effectively.
- Added tests to ensure proper functionality of user group assignments and device access control.
Prevent the RustDesk Client API address-book response from auto-creating peers from console inventory. Existing address-book peers still receive console-side tag synchronization, while /api/peers remains the inventory endpoint.

Add multiple security hardenings across the server and web console: enforce proof-of-possession for /ws/bd-mgmt using Ed25519-signed headers with timestamp/nonce and replay protection (public key binding, canonicalization, storage, verification, and tests); remove legacy API key query param and config-table fallback in favor of scoped api_keys (migrate bootstrap key into api_keys); tighten WebSocket origin handling for relay and signal servers to allow only localhost origins by default unless an explicit allowlist is set; update auth middleware public paths and test helpers to use X-API-Key header; add ensureScopedAPIKey migration and related helpers; add a GitHub Secret Scan workflow and an audit report. Misc: propagate audit logging on bd-mgmt connect/disconnect and validate enrollment public keys during device register.
Add unit tests and test helpers (5 suites, 41 tests) and test npm scripts; introduce deviceStatusPush service and WS real-time device status push integration. Fix chatRelay to acknowledge connections (send `welcome`), and apply multiple web remote/rdclient fixes (video ack/timing, keyframe refresh, SourceBuffer trimming, input focus handling) to improve FPS and control. Add new server route file (system.routes.js), new device-status service, update server.js and package.json, and modify various frontend CSS/JS/views. Update English and Polish locale files with many new widget/i18n keys and remove the Russian locale file (ru.json). Also include assorted UI/desktop-widget dashboard tweaks and documentation status updates in .github/copilot-instructions.md.
