Report the registered peer name as the WASM client's device name

[lixmal]

The temporary-access flow registers the peer under a per-session name (for example firefox-153-browser-client), but the WASM client then reports a different hostname in its meta, so the peer renames itself on its first sync and management pushes a needless network map to every peer in the account. The client now receives the registered name as its device name, so the reported meta matches from the start.

• Pass the registered peer name to the WASM client as its device name
• Bump the default WASM client to v0.78.0, which honors the device name and adds the lazy-connection override

Merge after v0.78.0 is published; until then the new option is ignored by the older client and the bumped default path does not resolve.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The remote access client now preserves generated temporary peer names during connection. The fallback WASM client URL now references version v0.78.0.

Changes

Remote connection naming

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Temporary peer name propagation src/modules/remote-access/useNetBirdClient.ts	connect accepts an optional deviceName and passes it to NetBirdClient. connectTemporary supplies the generated temporary peer name.

WASM client version

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Fallback WASM URL src/utils/config.ts	The fallback wasmPath URL now uses WASM client version v0.78.0.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to dfa04

The change aligns the WASM client’s reported device name with the registered peer name, but the new default client asset is currently unavailable, which can prevent remote access from initializing in default deployments; older configured overrides may also omit the fix. Merge should wait until the compatible asset is published or all deployments are explicitly configured.

Poem

A rabbit hops through names so neat,
A temporary peer keeps its seat.
The WASM path leaps ahead,
To version zero-seven-eight instead.
Hop, connect, and greet!
