Emit the minimal v2 grammar for the pairing window's Tailscale QR - #10499

…ull-key JSON The omitted-target legacy disclosure path still emits the base64 full-key v1 ticket for any Tailscale route: ~790 characters that render a version-23 (109x109-module) QR and disclose the Mac's device id, display name, and build metadata to anything that photographs the pairing window. Fielded clients have decoded the plain v2 grammar since #5872, and the phone recovers all of that metadata post-handshake from mobile.host.status. Red half of the regression pair: asserts the pairing window's Tailscale compatibility code speaks the v2 grammar, carries only routes plus the ub account binding and pc compatibility level, and stays at or below QR version 8 at ECC M.

…lscale code The pairing window's Tailscale compatibility QR was still the base64 full-key v1 JSON ticket: ~790 characters rendering a version-23 (109x109-module) QR whose payload disclosed the Mac's device id, display name, Stack user id, and app version/build to anything that photographs the pairing window. Fielded iOS clients have decoded the plain v2 grammar since #5872, and every field beyond the routes is either consulted post-handshake via mobile.host.status or never needed at all. The compatibility disclosure now reindexes mixed route snapshots down to the canonical Tailscale subsequence (sharing the physical-device target's canonicalization) and emits the v2 grammar with only the two fields the phone consults before dialing: ub, the opaque account binding the pairing preflight matches for the wrong-account fast-fail (#6028), and pc, the compatibility level fielded decoders default to 0 when absent (omitting it would spuriously fire the cross-version warning). av/ab are no longer written anywhere; the decoder still reads them from older Macs' codes. Tickets the v2 grammar cannot express (workspace-scoped, escaped hosts) keep the compact v1 fallback, and CmxLegacyPrivateNetworkPairingCode is deleted with its last caller. A realistic account-bound two-route code now renders QR version 8 or lower at ECC M (49x49 modules, asserted through the real encoder in CmxPairingQRBitmapTests), so each module is ~2.6x larger on screen than before.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR removes the legacy private-network pairing encoder. Tailscale compatibility URLs now use reduced v2 payloads with canonical routes and account binding. QR documentation and tests cover metadata omission, legacy decoding, route disclosure, and QR version limits. ChangesPairing QR compatibility
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR reduces pairing QR payload exposure and improves scanability while preserving compatibility fallbacks. A localized test cleanup remains, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. Possibly related PRs

Greptile SummaryThe PR replaces the pairing window’s full-key Tailscale compatibility QR with the minimal v2 grammar while retaining compact-v1 fallback for tickets v2 cannot represent.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge; the new compatibility QR preserves the pairing-critical fields and route semantics while reducing metadata disclosure. The v2 scan path retains account binding and compatibility level, canonicalizes routes consistently with decoder reconstruction, excludes authorization tokens, and deliberately falls back for tickets the grammar cannot represent.

The pairing window's Tailscale compatibility QR was still the base64 full-key v1 JSON ticket: ~790 characters rendering a version-23 (109x109-module) QR. Its payload also disclosed the Mac's device id, display name, Stack user id, and app version/build in trivially decodable base64 to anything that photographs, screenshares, or records the pairing window, contradicting the v2/v3 design rule that identity and build metadata arrive post-handshake from
mobile.host.status.Fielded iOS clients have decoded the plain v2 grammar since #5872 (2026-06-11), and TestFlight builds older than that are expired. The compatibility disclosure now filters mixed route snapshots down to the canonical Tailscale subsequence (sharing the physical-device target's canonicalization) and emits the v2 grammar with only the two fields the phone consults before dialing:
ub, the opaque account binding the pairing preflight matches for the wrong-account fast-fail (Require matching email for iOS pairing #6028)pc, the compatibility level; fielded decoders default a missingpcto 0, which would spuriously fire the cross-version pairing warningav/abonly ever decorated that warning's message, so they are no longer written; the decoder still reads them from older Macs' codes. Tickets the v2 grammar cannot express (workspace-scoped, escaped hosts) keep the compact v1 fallback.CmxLegacyPrivateNetworkPairingCodeis deleted with its last caller.Result: a realistic account-bound two-route code drops from 794 to ~130 characters, QR version 23 → 8 at ECC M (109x109 → 49x49 modules), so each module renders ~2.6x larger and the code scans from farther away and at worse angles. Asserted through the real encoder in
CmxPairingQRBitmapTestsand end to end through the ticket store inMobileHostWorkspaceTicketAuthorizationTests.Commit 1 adds the failing regression test only (red), commit 2 the fix (green).
Residual risk: an iPhone running a build from before 2026-06-11 could no longer scan the Tailscale code; such builds are expired TestFlight installs and already require an app update to pair (they also cannot decode the primary v3 Iroh code).
