tailscale version --json
JSON output mode. This will be used later for a double-opt-in (per node consent like Tailscale SSH + control config) to let admins do remote upgrades viatailscale update
via a c2n call, which would then need to verify the cmd/tailscale found on disk for running tailscale update corresponds to the running tailscaled, refusing if anything looks amiss.Plus JSON output modes are just nice to have, rather than parsing unstable/fragile/obscure text formats.
