What

Two related updates to the "NetBird client status" section of the client troubleshooting page, both prompted by a support incident where a peer stayed invisible until the customer turned off Quantum Resistance.

  • Quantum Resistance as a troubleshooting step. The Quantum resistance field in netbird status -d now explains the cause and fix: a peer with Quantum Resistance (Rosenpass) enabled only connects to peers that also have it enabled, so a mismatch (the other side has it off, runs an older client, or is on mobile, which is unsupported) can keep a peer from connecting or showing up. It cross-links the Quantum-Resistance doc and its permissive-mode section.
  • Navigable status fields. The flat peer-field list is now per-field h3 subsections (Connection type, Direct, ICE candidate, Last WireGuard handshake, Quantum resistance, Transfer status), so each appears in the "On this page" nav and the reader can jump straight to a field.

Also tidied "Wireguard" to "WireGuard" in the affected lines.

Notes

Placed on the client page rather than resource-connectivity because a Quantum Resistance mismatch blocks the peer connection itself, a peer-connectivity symptom (the resource-connectivity page explicitly punts "peer not Connected" to the client page). Verified the new h3 anchors render and appear in the "On this page" nav. Validated with npm run build.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Expanded peer status troubleshooting guidance with dedicated explanations for connection types, direct connectivity, ICE candidates, WireGuard handshake timing, quantum resistance, and transfer statistics.
    • Added troubleshooting steps for diagnosing connectivity and handshake issues.

…ds navigable

Two related updates to the NetBird client status troubleshooting section,
prompted by an incident where a peer stayed invisible until Quantum Resistance
was turned off:
- Document the `Quantum resistance` status field as a cause and fix. A peer with
  Quantum Resistance enabled only connects to peers that also have it enabled, so
  a mismatch can keep a peer from connecting. Cross-link the Quantum-Resistance
  doc and its permissive mode.
- Convert the flat peer-field list into per-field h3 subsections (Connection
  type, Direct, ICE candidate, Last WireGuard handshake, Quantum resistance,
  Transfer status) so each appears in the On this page nav.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@emrcbrn, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 29 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The peer status documentation now uses dedicated subsections. It explains connection type, direct connectivity, ICE candidates, WireGuard handshake timing, quantum resistance, troubleshooting guidance, and transfer statistics.

Changes

Peer Status Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Peer status field explanations
src/pages/help/troubleshooting-client.mdx
The page replaces the peer-status bullet list with subsections for connection details, handshake behavior, quantum-resistance compatibility, troubleshooting, and transfer statistics.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to ab9d3

The page improves Quantum Resistance troubleshooting and field navigation, but three wording inaccuracies could mislead readers about ICE candidates, handshake state, and Rosenpass status. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct these descriptions.

Poem

A rabbit reads the fields with care,
Each status now has room to share.
ICE and handshakes, clear and bright,
Quantum paths explained just right.
Transfers hop across the page—
Troubleshooting takes the stage.

In `@src/pages/help/troubleshooting-client.mdx`:
- Around line 157-159: Update the “ICE candidate (Local/Remote)” documentation
to describe relay and host as local and remote ICE candidate types, not path
types. Clarify that the selected P2P versus relayed path is determined by
“Connection type,” and avoid implying that a host candidate proves a direct
remote connection.
- Around line 165-167: Update the “Quantum resistance” description to use
key-exchange terminology: describe the field as indicating whether
Rosenpass-based post-quantum protection is active on the connection, while
preserving the existing peer-mismatch and permissive-mode guidance.
- Around line 161-163: Update the “Last WireGuard handshake” documentation to
state that an empty value means no handshake has completed yet, while an old
timestamp indicates a stale connection signal rather than proving a connection
was never possible.

- ICE candidate: describe relay/host as the local and remote ICE candidate
  types, and point to Connection type for whether the path is P2P or relayed,
  since a host candidate does not by itself mean the remote path is direct.
- Last WireGuard handshake: distinguish an empty value (no handshake yet) from
  an old timestamp (a previous connection that is now stale).
- Quantum resistance: call Rosenpass post-quantum key exchange rather than
  encryption.
