Web remote was encoding Auth2FA under auth2Fa, which protobuf.js drops as an
empty message, so RustDesk peers never received the TOTP code after Verify.
Use npm install without a lockfile in CI, treat root-owned installer scripts as non-critical update failures, and skip privileged H-7 hooks when betterdesk already exists without sudo.
Hash RustDesk access tokens at rest (phase 1), add SSRF guards for admin network tools with LAN monitoring support, run dedicated console service user on Linux, and hook post-update verification plus service patching into both betterdesk.sh and the in-app updater.
The panel updater assumed a native install with Go source on disk. In
Compose/GHCR mode it now uses the embedded image commit, clears stale
binary markers, and directs operators to pull new container images instead.
- Introduced new localization strings for short download links and their hints in various languages.
- Added validation messages for short link requirements, including character restrictions and length constraints.
- Updated existing download link hints to inform users that old hex links will continue to function after changes to short links.
- Ensured consistency across all language files to enhance user experience and clarity in the interface.
Sync all 26 locale files to the EN+PL baseline (3432 keys), add OBSIDIAN tier strings, and ship i18n apply/audit tooling. Improve server attestation UX and convert orphaned node:test scripts to Jest so the full test suite passes.
Do not auto-convert an existing local account if Go authenticates the same
username via LDAP/OIDC. Treat it as a collision and require admin action,
preventing potential privilege confusion when names overlap.
Repair the Node.js panel auth path so LDAP/OIDC users get the correct
provider and role from Go: forward authProvider in the database facade,
export syncUserFromGo, enforce provider-bound login, use unusable hashes
for external accounts, block panel edits of IdP-managed users, and
reconcile provider/role via Go API on PostgreSQL.
- Added a new method to check if the agent has an active CDAP session, improving connection status reporting.
- Updated the SendHelpRequest function to utilize the engine for sending help requests, enhancing the request handling process.
- Refactored health check methods to include the Go management API, replacing the console health checks for better integration.
- Improved branding logo handling by introducing a PNG validation function, ensuring only valid images are used.
- Updated UI elements and localization strings to reflect changes in API endpoints and improve user experience.
- 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.
