F13-TS: No
Rationale
The managed tailnet uses centrally maintained membership, discovery and access policy. Multiple communicating nodes do not supply the distributed group authority required by this criterion.
Assessment method
Official documentation and pinned source inspection; no runtime test
Source context
Tailscale control plane and DERP source 566f89e0fb2aa4b2f1ebf98761e45e62aa5ef225
Outstanding qualification
Tailnet Lock adds participant signatures for node admission; it does not replace the managed group policy and discovery service with distributed groupcast authority.
