basically tailscale does direct connections between nodes, yes, and it is encrypted

but these nodes at the start don’t know each other, they ask the tailscale control plane “what nodes are there”

if the control plane lies and inserts fake/impersonating nodes, it could pretend to be your trusted laptop for example

this makes no sense. if they couldn't add machines then how do they add your machines? something has to coordinate everything.

With lock, YOU are the one coordinating. After a machine gets added it can't do anything until YOU sign a lock message. (I.e. sign its pubkey and publish that)
