Cleaned up agent comment.

- plugin.json contained duplicate "version" keys ("0.1.0" then "0.2.0"); JSON parsers take the last value so it appeared to work, but this is invalid per spec and a maintenance hazard.
- findActiveExitNode used legacy for-in + hasOwnProperty guard; replaced with Object.keys() for modern, safe iteration (now consistent with parsePeers and the rest of lib.js).
- All 36 unit tests pass after the change.

 ## Critical Design Rules

 ### 1. Only Store or Cache State When It Serves a Purpose

 2. Creates a new class of edge cases that must be tested: the binary existed when the flag was set but later disappears. The code must now defend against both “flag is false” and “flag is wrong.”  
 3. Unreliable guard for a failure the code must handle anyway. A missing binary produces a clear exit-code failure on the real command. Checking the flag *and* handling the failure duplicates work.
 Reference: #11.
+
+
+## Code Style Guidance
+
+### 1. **NEVER** Write Conditional and Loop Blocks Without Curly Braces
+
+**ALWAYS** use curly braces, `{}`, for if, else, while, and for blocks, even when they contain only a single statement. This ensures that any future additions to the block remain within the intended control flow. Reference: `CVE-2014-1266`.
+
+**GOOD** Examples:
+```javascript
+if (myvar) {
+    do_action();
+}
+```
+```javascript
+if (myvar) { do_action(); }
+```
+```javascript
+while (myvar) {
+    do_action();
+}
+```
+```javascript
+while (myvar) { do_action(); }
+```
+
+**BAD** Examples:
+```javascript
+if (myvar) 
+    do_action();
+```
+```javascript
+if (myvar) do_action();
+```
+```javascript
+while (myvar) 
+    do_action();
+```
+```javascript
+while (myvar) do_action();
+```
+
+### 2. ALWAYS Terminate JavaScript Statements with Semicolons
+
+ALWAYS end every JavaScript statement with a semicolon (;).
+
+Rationale: Semicolons make intent explicit, eliminate ASI surprises, improve readability, and produce clearer diffs and tooling output.
+
+Scope:
+    - Applies to all JavaScript statements — inside signal handlers (onClicked: { ... }), custom methods (function foo() { ... }), arrow function bodies, standalone .js files, and test files.
+    - Does NOT apply to QML declarative property bindings (width: 100, text: "foo", anchors.centerIn: parent, model: myModel, etc.). These are not statements; adding ; after them is either a syntax error or non-idiomatic in QML.
+    - When multiple QML bindings are written on a single line for compactness, ; is used only as a separator between bindings (Qt/QML convention), not as a statement terminator.
+
+GOOD (JavaScript statements):
+```javascript
+// Inside a QML signal handler or method
+onClicked: {
+    root.toggleTailscale();
+    ToastService.showInfo("Toggled");
+}
+function buildCommand(hostname) {
+    if (hostname === "") {
+        return ["tailscale", "set", "--exit-node="];
+    }
+    return ["tailscale", "set", "--exit-node=" + hostname];
+}
+```
+
+```javascript
+// In a .js file
+if (!peerMap) {
+    return [];
+}
+return Object.keys(peerMap).map(...);
+```
+
+BAD (missing semicolons on statements):
+```javascript
+if (condition) {
+    doAction()
+}
+return value
+```
+
+BAD (incorrect semicolon on QML binding — never do this):
+```javascript
+width: 360;           // OK (separator on same line)
+height: 400;          // WRONG — this is a binding, not a statement
+text: "Tailscale";    // WRONG
+```
+
+GOOD (correct QML binding style):
+```javascript
+width: 360
+height: 400
+text: "Tailscale"
+Item { width: 1; height: 1; Layout.fillWidth: true }   // ; only as separator

+- Uses `Proc` singleton (from `qs.Common`) for all external `tailscale` commands (one-shot stdout capture + auto cleanup).
+- Fully I18n-ready via `I18n.tr(...)` (source keys in American English only today; see `tailscalectl/i18n/` for scaffolding).
+- Follows current `dms-plugin-dev` + DMS 1.4 plugin best practices (capabilities, requires, no raw Process for one-shots, etc.).

+# I18n for tailscalectl
+
+This plugin is fully instrumented with `I18n.tr(...)` (from `qs.Common`) for all user-facing strings.
+
+- Source keys are the American English strings defined in `lib.js` (returned by `getStrings()`, plus bases from `errorMessage()` / `formatError()`).
+- Call sites in `TailscaleWidget.qml` wrap them: `I18n.tr(TailscaleLib.getStrings().foo)` or `I18n.tr(TailscaleLib.getStrings().copied).arg(text)`.
+- Today: falls back to the key (perfect en-US).
+- Future: Drop additional `xx.json` here (or contribute keys to DMS core translations) when a loader or extraction process supports per-plugin locales.
+
+## Current keys (source of truth)
+
+See `getStrings()` and `errorMessage()` in `lib.js` for the canonical list.
+
+Example `en.json` (for documentation / future tools):
+
+```json
+{

+- Symbols/glyphs ("×", "↗", "—") are intentionally left as literals in the UI (not run through I18n as they are not linguistic content).
+- Plugin name/description in `plugin.json` and technical IDs ("tailscalectl") remain English.
+- This follows DMS `dms-plugin-dev` best practice for future-proofing even when only en is shipped.
