# Pulse v6.1.0-rc.2 Release Notes
`v6.1.0-rc.2` is a release candidate for the next Pulse v6 minor line. It
follows stable `v6.0.5`, retains the substantial monitor-first product update,
typed Pulse Intelligence action lifecycle, dedicated Actions workspace, safer
native-agent update and recovery behavior, and broad security and reliability
hardening from the first candidate, and supersedes `v6.1.0-rc.1` with further
Patrol, provider, Docker-action, authentication, installer, storage, and
commercial-lifecycle fixes.
## Highlights
- Patrol findings can now move through one reviewed Actions inbox with clear
approval, execution, and verification state.
- Pulse can safely carry out a wider set of explicitly governed Docker,
Proxmox, host-update, package-maintenance, and storage-cleanup actions.
- Platform pages, connected systems, responsive layouts, and Assistant
conversations are more task-focused and easier to operate day to day.
- Native updates, agent recovery, authentication boundaries, and service
hardening fail closed across more installation and recovery paths.
- Patrol investigations now keep evidence and model-turn budgets bounded,
preserve multiple grounded findings, and separate Watch detection from
model-led investigation.
- Claude subscription-backed models can use schema-bound streaming and native
typed tools without creating a parallel action-execution path.
## Added
- Pulse Intelligence now has explicit detection and investigation profiles,
a typed proposal-to-action lifecycle, and post-action verification for
supported Docker and Kubernetes operations.
- Patrol action state now reconciles from the authoritative action audit and
stays current across investigation history, desktop approval controls, and
Pulse Mobile approve or reject flows.
- Actions provides a dedicated inbox for reviewing proposed work, checking
policy and verification details, and seeing pending approvals without
searching through Assistant history.
- Patrol can authorize low-risk Docker and Podman restarts through explicit
per-resource capability allowlists and optional recurring maintenance
windows, while unsupported, out-of-window, or downgraded-mode actions remain
approval-gated and fail closed.
- Governed host updates, Debian and Ubuntu package maintenance, storage-pressure
cleanup, and supported Proxmox guest lifecycle operations now use reviewed
plans, durable execution receipts, and independent outcome verification.
- Local AI setup includes a guided Ollama quickstart for `qwen3:8b`, with
clearer Provider & Models readiness guidance.
- Cluster members can override their connection addresses when the discovered
address is not the one Pulse should use.
- The Unified Agent Windows service now writes owner-controlled rotating logs,
verifies logged readiness during installation, and carries native lifecycle
proof for install, replacement, recovery, persistence, and uninstall.
- A live Patrol qualification path exercises model-led investigations, finding
quality, remediation planning, typed tool use, and negative controls.
- Claude subscription-backed models support bounded preflight, streaming native
tool calls, retry-safe durable outcomes, and explicit separation from
API-billed provider routes.
- Docker inventory warns when two machines report the same agent identity, and
registry pulls can negotiate bearer tokens from authentication challenges.
## Improved
- Platform and connected-system pages lead with monitor-first attention and
task-oriented workflows, with more coherent responsive and mobile layouts.
- Pulse Intelligence settings and daily-use surfaces use one consistent
product vocabulary while keeping Patrol focused on detection and
investigation.
- The provider MSP portal uses the product design system, supports dark mode,
and presents self-service behavior honestly when an email provider is not
configured.
- Update execution now uses one canonical lifecycle with clearer completion,
rollback, and operator feedback.
- Investigation prompts receive the real typed capability catalog, including
approval requirements and parameter constraints, instead of asking the
model to guess which actions are available.
- Assistant conversations can be retried, regenerated, edited and resent, and
steered while a response is running. Long pasted input is collapsed into a
manageable composer attachment, and the last-turn summary reports estimated
model cost when available.
- Patrol handoffs now open the related Actions review directly, background
Patrol work stays out of the Assistant quick-resume list, and the Actions tab
shows its pending-approval count.
- Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS, vSphere, and Proxmox node tables preserve
user-controlled column sorting through one shared platform-table model.
- Multi-finding Patrol runs preserve accepted siblings and sequential findings,
while provider retries and replay handling retain durable outcomes without
upgrading incomplete evidence.
- Docker update and restart work stays on reviewed typed plans with durable
receipts and recovery after server or agent reconnection.
- Commercial plan, cadence, entitlement, revocation, and downgrade handling now
shares an installation-scoped lifecycle that preserves customer data.
## Fixed
- Native updates self-test the replacement binary before swapping it in,
reject silent edition downgrades, preserve a sanctioned rollback path, and
fail fast when signing configuration is incomplete.
- Native updates fail closed instead of silently falling back to a community
build, preserve writable configuration backups under hardened services, and
publish verification keys in the exact OpenSSH `allowed_signers` form used
by the documented verification command.
- Docker updates now recreate the container instead of attempting a restart
that cannot apply a new image.
- Docker containers retain their grouped-by-host view and open configured web
links consistently after REST resource snapshot hydration.
- Docker and Kubernetes agents tolerate realistic clock skew when evaluating
liveness, and posture alerts no longer ignore the intended guest-suppression
rules.
- Legacy OIDC callbacks recover the initiating provider correctly.
- Provider/runtime failures and proposal-validation failures remain separate,
so a failed investigation cannot be misreported as a completed
needs-attention result.
- First-run, request parsing, storage, cookie, remediation-lock, and remote
deployment boundaries now fail closed across the hardened paths included in
this candidate.
- FreeBSD agent update recovery and Windows service recovery now preserve a
usable runtime across replacement and restart paths.
- Cluster re-registration preserves an operator-selected member address, moved
guests keep their alert ownership aligned with the new node, and unavailable
guest-agent disk data is no longer presented as a real measurement.
- Physical disks no longer disappear on wide node layouts, standby SSDs no
longer report misleading state, shared Docker network namespaces survive
container updates, and SSO administrators retain the expected settings
authority.
- Patrol rejects untrusted prompt instructions, unsupported reconfirmation
shortcuts, and ungrounded health claims; repeated restarts and Docker OOM
events now use authoritative evidence.
- OIDC sessions without refresh tokens remain valid where allowed, mixed-auth
startup avoids deadlock, and Basic-auth identity reaches action authorization.
- Deleted hosts can re-enroll with fresh credentials, agent configuration stays
available from continuity state during reload windows, and Windows version
checks normalize a leading `v`.
- Constrained NAS installs no longer require `od`; recovery-point, TrueNAS, and
`nvme-eui` ZFS disk identity reconciliation retain authoritative sources.
- Availability polling honors its configured interval, alert email times include
their timezone, and no-op Docker update status no longer creates false history.
## Upgrade Notes
Use the normal v6 install or update flow for `v6.1.0-rc.2` only when you are
comfortable testing an RC. The rollback target for this release candidate is
`v6.0.5`.
The exact rollback reinstall command is:
```bash
./scripts/install.sh --version v6.0.5
```
This candidate changes authentication and native installer/updater boundaries,
so it is intentionally using the governed RC path rather than the direct
stable-patch path.
Pulse Mobile iOS candidate build 10 and Android candidate versionCode 8 carry
the matching plan-bound action review and approval client. They remain on the
TestFlight and Google Play internal-testing tracks; no public store rollout is
part of this RC.
Windows Unified Agent binaries in this release candidate retain the same
checksum and detached-signature verification used by `v6.0.5`, but they are
not yet Authenticode-signed and Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning.
Public Windows Authenticode signing remains required before stable promotion.
Paid Pulse Pro, Relay, and eligible legacy customers should continue to use the
private download page and private runtime image for paid runtime features.

# Pulse v6.1.0-rc.2
_This changelog describes the cumulative `v6.1.0-rc.2` release candidate
compared with stable `v6.0.5`. It supersedes `v6.1.0-rc.1`._
## Added
- Pulse Intelligence now exposes explicit detection and investigation
profiles over the canonical typed action lifecycle.
- Patrol can capture typed action proposals and route approved work through
the shared lifecycle instead of command-side execution paths.
- Desktop and Pulse Mobile clients now use the canonical pending-action queue,
decision endpoint, and action identity instead of retired command-shaped
approval endpoints.
- The desktop Actions inbox now provides one review surface for proposed work,
policy provenance, approval state, execution progress, verification detail,
and direct Patrol handoffs.
- Docker and Kubernetes actions verify supported scale and update outcomes
after execution.
- Policy-scoped Patrol autonomy can authorize low-risk Docker and Podman
restarts only for explicitly allowed resources and optional recurring
maintenance windows.
- Host update, Debian and Ubuntu package, storage-pressure cleanup, Docker
restart, and supported Proxmox guest lifecycle plans now share the governed
action, durable receipt, and independent-verification path.
- Local provider setup includes a guided Ollama `qwen3:8b` quickstart.
- Cluster members can override discovered connection addresses.
- The Unified Agent accepts a rotating JSON log path for native service use.
- Live Patrol qualification now exercises model-led investigations, typed tool
use, finding quality, remediation planning, and negative controls.
- Claude subscription-backed models now support schema-bound streaming turns,
native tools, bounded preflight, and retry-safe durable outcomes.
- Docker inventory identifies conflicting shared agent identities, and registry
clients can negotiate bearer tokens from authentication challenges.
## Changed
- Connected systems, platform attention states, and responsive layouts are
task-first and monitor-first across the main product surfaces.
- Assistant and Patrol settings now use the Pulse Intelligence product name
consistently while retaining Patrol as the detection and investigation
engine.
- The provider MSP portal now uses product design tokens and dark mode, and
its no-email-provider behavior is explicit and self-sufficient.
- Native-agent update application now runs through one store action and one
transport-independent lifecycle service.
- Action transitions reconcile investigation outcomes from the authoritative
audit at write time and hydrate missed transitions when investigations are
read later.
- Investigation prompts include the validated capability catalog with approval
floors, parameter schemas, and sensitive/operator-only constraints.
- Assistant supports in-place retry, response regeneration, edit-and-resend,
mid-turn steering, collapsed long-paste attachments, and estimated
last-turn cost summaries.
- Patrol action handoffs open the matching Actions review, background Patrol
sessions stay out of Assistant quick resume, and pending approvals are
visible on the Actions navigation tab.
- Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS, vSphere, and Proxmox node tables share one
sortable platform-table model and retain user-controlled column ordering.
- Windows native CI exercises installer parsing, install, version replacement,
logged readiness, forced-process recovery, restart persistence, and cleanup.
- Release automation builds one signed exact-SHA candidate and promotes that
candidate without rebuilding.
- Action dispatch now binds server-authored policy provenance and reviewed plan
identity through durable admission, transport, result, and audit records.
- Patrol separates Watch detection from investigation, bounds evidence and model
turns, preserves multiple accepted findings, and keeps canonical resource
identities through typed tool calls.
- Docker update and restart work remains on reviewed typed plans with durable
receipts and reconnect recovery.
- Commercial plan, cadence, entitlement, revocation, and downgrade handling now
shares an installation-scoped lifecycle that preserves customer data.
## Fixed
- Replacement binaries are self-tested before the in-app updater swaps them
into place.
- Edition-aware update checks block silent Pro-to-community downgrades and
preserve an explicit rollback route.
- Docker update guidance recreates the container so the selected image is
actually applied.
- Docker and Kubernetes agent liveness handles clock skew correctly.
- Docker updates preserve containers that share another container's network
namespace.
- Guest suppression is honored for posture alerts.
- Legacy OIDC callback handling recovers the initiating provider.
- Simultaneous provider/runtime and proposal-channel failures preserve both
failure causes across the core and enterprise boundary.
- Terminal action verification now drives honest desktop and mobile completion
or failure state, including canonical push action identities.
- FreeBSD update recovery preserves the native agent lifecycle.
- Windows service installation fails closed when required recovery actions or
non-crash recovery cannot be configured.
- Windows install success now requires both local readiness and a non-empty
durable service log.
- Discovery backfills quiesce during shutdown.
- Cluster members retain an operator-selected connection address when they
re-register through another member.
- Guest alerts move with the guest when its owning node changes, and missing
guest-agent disk data uses an unavailable sentinel instead of a fabricated
measurement.
- Physical disk tables keep wide-node disks visible and avoid reporting
standby SSDs as active failures.
- SSO-backed administrators retain their effective settings privileges.
- Patrol rejects untrusted instructions, invalid reconfirmation shortcuts, and
ungrounded health claims while using authoritative restart and OOM evidence.
- OIDC sessions without refresh tokens remain valid where allowed, mixed-auth
startup avoids deadlock, and Basic-auth identity reaches action authorization.
- Deleted hosts can re-enroll with fresh credentials, continuity state serves
agent configuration during reload windows, and Windows version checks
normalize a leading `v`.
- Constrained NAS installs no longer require `od`; recovery-point, TrueNAS, and
`nvme-eui` disk reconciliation preserve authoritative identity.
- Availability polling cadence, alert timezones, Docker change history, and
stable web-interface links now reflect authoritative values.
## Security
- First-run security boundaries now fail closed.
- Autonomous dispatches fail closed when remediation lock state is unknown.
- Request, storage, integer-conversion, allocation, and cookie boundaries have
additional CodeQL-driven hardening.
- macOS native release signing and notarization are required for this RC;
Windows Authenticode remains required for stable promotion and is disclosed
explicitly while the public signing application is pending.
- Demo SSH setup no longer weakens host-key handling for private deploy hosts
or IP targets.
- Update verification documentation and release output use a guarded OpenSSH
`allowed_signers` line, and hardened update services keep configuration
backups on a writable path.
## Release Metadata
- Version: `v6.1.0-rc.2`
- Rollback target: `v6.0.5`
