Audited the customer-facing docs against the code: about 5,200 concrete
claims (env vars, endpoints, flags, defaults, ports, UI labels), plus every
environment variable the code reads. Each discrepancy was re-verified
against the source before editing, and every edit was reviewed again.
What users would have hit following the old text:
- UI paths and labels that no longer exist (Settings > Relay, Platform
connections, Access Control, SSO Providers, Create Organization) and
Patrol mode names (now Ask first, Safe auto-fix, Autopilot).
- Wrong values and behaviour: LOG_MAX_AGE=0 does not disable cleanup,
Patrol evidence budget is 10 calls and 12 turns, ALLOW_UNPROTECTED_EXPORT
covers private networks too, PULSE_AUDIT_ASYNC defaults on.
- Agent install: install.sh ignores PULSE_ENABLE_KUBERNETES and
PULSE_ENABLE_PROXMOX, rejects --disable-auto-update, and the token
fallback lives in the state directory.
- API: audit endpoints answer 402 on Community, onboarding QR is GET,
type=container is rejected, several routes need admin plus a scope.
- HTTP_REDIRECT_PORT was not documented anywhere.
Docs are mirrored under frontend-modern/public/docs, so each change is
applied to both copies. The tests that pinned the old wording (including
three that asserted claims the code contradicts) are updated alongside.
Contract-Neutral: Customer docs corrected to match shipped behaviour; no runtime, API or contract change.
Distinguish metrics from commands, live host refresh from startup-only settings, and desired configuration from verified application. Preserve local privacy opt-outs and make profile API IDs, scopes, uncertain writes and removal limits explicit in both existing help entry points. Exercise the source-bound safety guidance in docs-only CI.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and static guidance checks only; no agent authority, runtime, API or deployment contract changes.
