## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Configure Orbit to enable debug logging for a limited window on agent
enrollment; enrolled hosts receive debug/verbose behavior while the
window is active and it is reflected in agent config.
* **Chores**
* Added database column to record per-host debug-until timestamps and
datastore support to extend it safely.
* **Tests**
* Added integration and unit tests covering validation, enrollment
stamping, config generation, and runtime debug toggling.

This pull request addresses a startup issue with Fleet Desktop on
openSUSE Leap 16 and similar Linux distributions. The main change is to
adjust how Fleet Desktop and key-escrow dialogs are launched to avoid
environment variable loss caused by login shell profile scripts. The fix
is scoped specifically to openSUSE Leap 16+ to avoid impacting other
distributions.
**Distribution-specific sudo invocation changes:**
* The `-i` (login shell) flag is now omitted from the `sudo` command
when launching Fleet Desktop and key-escrow dialogs on openSUSE Leap 16
and newer, preventing environment variables from being lost due to
profile script interference.
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-633ab361af6795ef458233819e2806dfba4ca56f684866d956321825b8fd2e91R1)
[[2]](diffhunk://#diff-3e8315d9f12512bce490457c5d20bd7c5aebaa2a8e18b1abf50e504815dd7a9dR178-R193)
* For all other supported distributions, the previous behavior (using
`-i`) is preserved to maintain compatibility and avoid unnecessary
re-testing.
**Detection logic:**
* Introduced a new helper function `isOpenSUSELeap16Plus` in
`execuser_linux.go` to detect if the host is running openSUSE Leap 16 or
newer by parsing `/etc/os-release`. This ensures the workaround is only
applied where necessary.
---
**Related issue:** N/A — surfaced via field investigation on openSUSE
Leap 16 (arm64).
This PR addresses two distinct issues that together prevent Fleet
Desktop from working on openSUSE Leap 16, both validated end-to-end on a
real Leap 16 (arm64) host.
## 1. Launch reliability — drop `sudo -i`
`orbit/pkg/execuser/execuser_linux.go`
On Linux, Orbit launches Fleet Desktop with:
```
sudo -n -i -u <user> -H env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=… … FLEET_DESKTOP_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_PATH=/opt/orbit/identifier … /…/fleet-desktop
```
The `-i` flag makes sudo "simulate initial login" — it runs the target
user's shell as a login shell and wraps the rest of the command in `bash
--login -c '<escaped>'`. That sources `/etc/profile` and every script in
`/etc/profile.d/*` before our `env KEY=val … fleet-desktop` line runs,
and shell metacharacters (`=`, `:`, `/`, `.`) get backslash-escaped
through the shell layer.
On **openSUSE Leap 16 (arm64)**, that indirection causes the inline
env-var assignments to not reach `fleet-desktop`, which exits
immediately with:
```
FTL missing URL environment FLEET_DESKTOP_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_PATH
```
Orbit then respawns it every ~15 s in a tight kill-and-respawn loop, so
the tray icon never appears.
**Fix:** drop `-i` from the sudo invocation. We don't need a login
shell:
- `-H` already sets `HOME` to the target user.
- sudo's default `env_reset` sets `USER` / `LOGNAME` / `SHELL` / `MAIL`
and `PATH` to `secure_path`.
- All session vars (`WAYLAND_DISPLAY`, `DISPLAY`,
`DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`) and every
`FLEET_DESKTOP_*` var are already passed explicitly via `env KEY=val …`.
After the change, sudo `execve()`s `env` directly with no shell layer in
between, so `/etc/profile.d` sourcing and shell-escaping are out of the
picture.
The `runuser -l` /proc/keys-leak regression from PR #32309 does not
apply — that was specific to `runuser -l` creating session keyrings;
sudo without `-i` doesn't.
# Checklist for submitter
- [x] Changes file added:
`orbit/changes/fleet-desktop-linux-no-login-shell`
- [x] Input data is properly validated; untrusted data interpolated into
shell scripts/commands is validated against shell metacharacters.
- [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops (script's wait loop now bounded at 90s).
- [x] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes — N/A.
## Testing
Manual QA needed before merge:
- [x] **openSUSE Leap 16 (arm64)** — Fleet Desktop process starts, stays
running, env vars present, no FTL respawn loop. Done via `sudo` shim.
- [x] **openSUSE Leap 16 (arm64) — extension fallback** — manual tarball
install + schema compilation produces a working tray icon (matching what
the script automates).
- [ ] **Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04** — regression check: Fleet Desktop tray
icon still appears, key-escrow zenity dialog still renders, AppIndicator
script still installs via the official path.
- [ ] **Fedora (recent)** — regression check: same as above.
- [ ] **Debian** — regression check: same as above.
- [ ] **openSUSE Tumbleweed** — confirm `InstallRemoteExtension` path
still works (no fallback path triggered).
## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop
- [x] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet —
pure launch-flag change plus a script update; no protocol or schema
impact.
- [x] If the change applies to only one platform, confirmed that
`runtime.GOOS` is used as needed to isolate changes — Go change is in
`execuser_linux.go`, only built on Linux. The script is Linux-only by
construction.
- [ ] Verified that fleetd runs on macOS, Linux and Windows — Linux
re-verification pending QA above; macOS/Windows code paths unchanged.
- [ ] Verified auto-update works from the released version of component
to the new version.
## Notes for reviewers
- The tray-icon visibility issue is an OS-side prerequisite (GNOME 3.26+
has no native tray), so the AppIndicator extension is required
regardless. Even after installing it, Wayland requires a logout/login to
pick up new extensions — this is documented behavior and not specific to
the fallback path.
**Related issue:** Resolves#44202.
- [X] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`,
`orbit/changes/` or `ee/fleetd-chrome/changes`.
## Testing
- [X] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
## fleetd/orbit/Fleet Desktop
- [X] Verified compatibility with the latest released version of Fleet
(see [Must
rule](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/workflows/fleetd-development-and-release-strategy.md))

**Related issue:** Resolves#40809
**Orbit agent: key rotation replaces decrypt-then-re-encrypt:**
- When the disk is already encrypted, orbit now adds a new Fleet-managed
recovery key protector, removes old ones, and escrows the new key. The
disk is never decrypted.
- If key escrow fails, the rotated key is cached in memory and retried
on subsequent ticks without rotating again.
- Removes `DecryptVolume` and `decrypt()` (no longer called from
production code).
**Server: osquery query returns both protection_status and
conversion_status:**
- The `disk_encryption_windows` query now returns both columns instead
of just checking `protection_status = 1`. This lets the server correctly
identify a disk as encrypted via `conversion_status = 1` even when
`protection_status = 0`.
- New `directIngestDiskEncryptionWindows` function parses both values,
handles parse errors, and normalizes `protection_status = 2` (unknown)
to NULL.
**Server: new `bitlocker_protection_status` column and status logic:**
- Adds `bitlocker_protection_status` column to `host_disks` (DB
migration).
- When a disk is encrypted and key is escrowed but protection is off,
the host shows "Action required" with a detail message explaining the
issue, instead of misleadingly showing "Verified."
- `protection_status = 2` (unknown) and `NULL` (older orbit hosts) are
treated as protection on for backward compatibility.
- The `profiles_verified` and `profiles_verifying` branches in the
combined profiles+BitLocker summary now handle
`bitlocker_action_required`, counting those hosts as "pending".

**Related issue:** Resolves#33555
Wrap Get-ItemProperty calls in try/catch blocks during registry
enumeration to gracefully handle terminating exceptions (e.g.
System.InvalidCastException) from malformed registry entries, logging
the offending path instead of aborting.
This commit introduces support for Python (.py) scripts on macOS and
Linux, including validation for Python shebangs and updates to
documentation, UI, error messages, and backend validation logic. It also
updates tests and file upload handling to recognize and properly process
Python scripts alongside existing shell (.sh) and PowerShell (.ps1)
scripts.

I couldn't find any other code path that would resolve to automatic
other than the device not being MDM enrolled, and we naively assumed 3
lines for manual migration, so I added the new IsDEPCapable method which
checks if the first line returned by profiles status is No or Yes, to
check if the device was enrolled via ABM/DEP, if not and not MDM
enrolled then show the manual.

## Summary
- `checkPermFile` in `pkg/secure/secure.go` now self-heals incorrect
file permissions via `os.Chmod` instead of returning a fatal error
- Fixes orbit crash-looping indefinitely when
`/opt/orbit/updates-metadata.json` has mode 755 instead of the expected
600
## Problem
Orbit refuses to start when `updates-metadata.json` has wrong
permissions (e.g. 755 instead of 600), entering an infinite restart loop
(`systemd` restart counter observed at 3447+). The manual workaround is
`chmod 600 /opt/orbit/updates-metadata.json`, but the root cause — an
external process changing file permissions — is intermittent and hard to
track.
The `checkPermFile` function in `pkg/secure/secure.go` was designed as a
security check, but its behavior of fatally erroring on any permission
mismatch causes a denial-of-service on the legitimate user. For
comparison, `checkPermPath` (the directory equivalent) already tolerates
permissions that are less permissive than expected.
## Fix
When `checkPermFile` detects a permission mismatch, it now attempts
`os.Chmod` to correct the permissions before proceeding. It only returns
an error if the chmod itself fails (e.g. insufficient privileges). This
preserves the security intent — files end up with correct permissions —
while making orbit resilient to external permission drift.
## Test plan
- [ ] `go test ./pkg/secure/ -v -run TestOpenFile` — verifies
self-healing behavior
- [ ] `go test ./pkg/secure/ -v -run TestMkdirAll` — unchanged, verifies
directory checks still work
- [ ] Manual: create `/opt/orbit/updates-metadata.json` with mode 755,
start orbit, confirm it self-heals and starts normally

Resolves#36024 and #34501.
Main change is about stop using the first user in the `users` command
output [*] and instead use `loginctl` commands to pick the correct
current active GUI user.
[*] `users` was returning empty on some new distributions, and in
multi-sessions we were always picking the first one (even if it wasn't
active).

This PR utilizes the ping/status ticker that sees if the device is
Unmanaged (aka. not enrolled from a Fleet server perspective), if the
Migrate to Fleet flow before had set the `mdm_migration.txt` file, but
somehow not successfully unenrolled the device, we now keep sending it
if you trigger the modal again.
We wait 90seconds after start, so at most the user can go through the
flow every 90s, but the server has a hard limit on at most one webhook
every 3m, but still it means the user can wait a bit and retry and still
see the webhook gets sent now.
_PS: Updated the old migration test to go from 1,5m to ~2s execution
time with parallel and configurable waitForUnenrollment time (to allow
test to set lower values)

Resolves#37220
Added a dummy implementation of the orbit_info table to the orbit shell.
A full implementation is not possible directly in the shell because the
orbit service stores specific instrumentation values in memory. To query
the live orbit_info table, users must connect to the osquery-orbit
extension socket.
If the osquery version is new enough (>= 5.21.0), Orbit will set the
configuration option.

Applied the same fix as in
https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/29186/files:
- Added musl-tools to the container image. This provides musl-gcc, a
compiler that links against musl libc instead of glibc. We use it for
static linking as explained below.
- Added static linking flags (CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=musl-gcc -linkmode
external -extldflags "-static"). This produces a self-contained binary
with all C library code embedded, eliminating runtime dependencies on
the host system's glibc version.

Steps:
- Started TUF server for the first time. Generated a Linux x86_64 image.
```
SYSTEMS="linux" \
DEB_FLEET_URL=https://nicofleet.ngrok.io \
DEB_TUF_URL=http://nicotuf.ngrok.io \

./tools/tuf/test/main.sh
```
- Installed `fleet-osquery_26.1.46030_amd64.deb` generated by the
previous command on a Kubuntu 20.04 x86_64 VM.
- Ran `sudo journalctl -u orbit` to debug logs and verified that the
GLIBC incompatibility error was raised:
```

```
- Built a new version of the agent after applying the fixes on this PR
and pushed it to the TUF server:
```
# 1. Hardcode orbit to a higher version
export ORBIT_VERSION=26.1.46099
#2. Generate new package
FLEET_DESKTOP_VERSION=$ORBIT_VERSION make desktop-linux
#3. Update to TUF server
./tools/tuf/test/push_target.sh linux desktop desktop.tar.gz $ORBIT_VERSION
```

- In the VM, verified that an update for fleet desktop was detected by
running `sudo journalctl -u orbit -g "update detected"`:

- Verified the new version is shown both on the desktop icon and the
Fleet UI:
