Description

For anyone running a recent version of golang you might get some errors related to the JSON package in alias.go. This is a known issue: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/20254

The fix is on windows to set the following environment variable:

$env:GOEXPERIMENT = "nojsonv2"

Hopefully this helps someone that faces the same issue :)

Research direction

Check whether setting GOEXPERIMENT to nojsonv2 on Windows resolves the JSON-related failure; completion would require confirming the behavior and determining whether the workaround needs to be documented.
