Public beta scope: AD workflows have real-system path validation, but NOBA is still under active verification. Treat compliance evidence and self-healing claims as evaluation surfaces unless the source and configured state are shown. Read validation boundaries.

Three AD Operations features, one release — cloud-flip, MFA provisioning, and NIS2 coverage audit ship together

beta.35 ships three AD Operations features as one surface: Feature A automates the Federated → Managed flip with a 24-hour bounded rollback window, Feature B pre-registers phone + email on migrated users and issues one-shot Temporary Access Passes, and Feature C produces the 4-bucket MFA coverage report that satisfies NIS2 Art 21(2)(j). Live-validated against the Nobacmd P2 trial — with the intentionally un-tested paths named explicitly.

Closing the Entra SSO audit — five P0s, three P1s, three P3s, across four tags

A 2026-04-15 audit of NOBA's social-login flow found that Microsoft/Entra SSO reduced OIDC to "trust whatever email the userinfo endpoint returns over TLS." All eleven findings — 5 P0 NIS2 blockers, 3 P1 items, 3 P3 items — closed across beta.29 (PKCE/nonce/id_token/tenant/JIT), beta.30 (strict at_hash/CAE/generic-OIDC hardening), beta.31 (RP-initiated + back-channel logout, jti replay, async httpx), and beta.32 (ADR-008 review triggers #3/#4 automated).

Two correctness wins: Redis now mandatory on enterprise, and Microsoft Graph gets full OpenTelemetry

NOBA Enterprise now refuses to start in production without a shared Redis (or Valkey) cache, closing a silent 429-multiplier bug in multi-worker deployments. The hand-rolled Microsoft Graph client also gets a full OpenTelemetry tracer and meter stack, so the "we didn't adopt msgraph-sdk" architectural choice now has the same observability the SDK would have given us for free.

Honesty, Live Tests, and a Rust Agent — What Shipped Between beta.5 and beta.24

Thirteen days, twenty beta releases, one theme: stop claiming things work and start proving it against real infrastructure. Zero placeholder integration modules, a Rust-native agent with Windows support, and the browser no longer freezes when you lock a remote Windows session.

AD Integration Ships — Live Tested Against Real Azure AD and Samba LDAP

NOBA now syncs, migrates, and merges Active Directory users. Tested end-to-end against a real Microsoft Azure AD tenant and a Samba domain controller.

Under the Hood: The Engineering Behind NOBA

94,000 lines of code, a hand-built CBOR decoder, a 6-layer healing pipeline with circuit breakers, and a cross-platform remote desktop — a look at the engineering behind the platform.
