This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

Previously, the operator checked the ProxyGroup status fields for
information on how many of the proxies had successfully authed. Use
their state Secrets instead as a more reliable source of truth.
containerboot has written device_fqdn and device_ips keys to the
state Secret since inception, and pod_uid since 1.78.0, so there's
no need to use the API for that data. Read it from the state Secret
for consistency. However, to ensure we don't read data from a
previous run of containerboot, make sure we reset containerboot's
state keys on startup.
One other knock-on effect of that is ProxyGroups can briefly be
marked not Ready while a Pod is restarting. Introduce a new
ProxyGroupAvailable condition to more accurately reflect
when downstream controllers can implement flows that rely on a
ProxyGroup having at least 1 proxy Pod running.

tailscaled's ipn package writes a collection of keys to state after
authenticating to control, but one at a time. If containerboot happens
to send a SIGTERM signal to tailscaled in the middle of writing those
keys, it may shut down with an inconsistent state Secret and never
recover. While we can't durably fix this with our current single-use
auth keys (no atomic operation to auth + write state), we can reduce
the window for this race condition by checking for partial state
before sending SIGTERM to tailscaled. Best effort only.

cmd/containerboot,kube/kubetypes,cmd/k8s-operator: detect if Ingress is created in a tailnet that has no HTTPS
This attempts to make Kubernetes Operator L7 Ingress setup failures more explicit:
- the Ingress resource now only advertises HTTPS endpoint via status.ingress.loadBalancer.hostname when/if the proxy has succesfully loaded serve config
- the proxy attempts to catch cases where HTTPS is disabled for the tailnet and logs a warning

Rename kube/{types,client,api} -> kube/{kubetypes,kubeclient,kubeapi}
so that we don't need to rename the package on each import to
convey that it's kubernetes specific.

Further split kube package into kube/{client,api,types}. This is so that
consumers who only need constants/static types don't have to import
the client and api bits.

cmd/containerboot,kube,ipn/store/kubestore: allow interactive login and empty state Secrets, check perms
* Allow users to pre-create empty state Secrets
* Add a fake internal kube client, test functionality that has dependencies on kube client operations.
* Fix an issue where interactive login was not allowed in an edge case where state Secret does not exist
* Make the CheckSecretPermissions method report whether we have permissions to create/patch a Secret if it's determined that these operations will be needed
