Show the public IP address (i.e., what web servers would see me as, if I went to a website) in the popout.

Shipped on testing/vibes as v0.2.2.

Public IP is derived from tailscale status --json endpoint addresses (Self.Addrs, or the active exit-node peer's Addrs when an exit node is selected). Shown under the status row; click to copy. No external HTTP probe.

Note: this is the best status-derived public endpoint, not a guaranteed "what every website sees" probe (CGNAT/NAT edge cases and pure-IPv6-only exits may leave it blank).

Commit on tip after 0.2.1 correctness pass. Tests: 52 pass; live parse on this host extracted public IP correctly.

Updated to v0.2.3: public IP is now a lazy true-egress check, not status-derived endpoints.

  • UI shows "Public IP: tap to check" when connected
  • Tap runs curl (api.ipify.org → icanhazip.com), validates public IPv4
  • Second tap (after success) copies the IP
  • Cleared on disconnect or exit-node change
  • Never auto-fetched on status poll
