The failed exact rehearsal buffered the store-history latency assertion, preventing resource telemetry from locating its actual test interval. Extend the existing exact API lifecycle allowlist and cover both targets with synthetic pass/fail fixtures without rerunning product qualification or changing thresholds. This is prospective observability, not clearance of the retained latency or crash evidence.

(cherry picked from commit f293d6fe33)
Buffered package logs cannot map the API stress-test failure to resource telemetry. Stream Go events and retain a bounded target lifecycle with distinct event, receipt and resource collection times, while preserving readable output and pipeline failure status. Synthetic decoder and worker tests cover pass, skip, failure and unavailable telemetry; this does not clear historical qualification or authorise a replay.

(cherry picked from commit 4462e43288)
The held latency failure lacks contemporaneous resource context, and isolated passing samples do not explain it. Retain allowlisted backend boundary counters including cgroup ancestors in the existing durable log, preserving backend failures and unchanged qualification thresholds. Focused tests cover failure exits, unavailable telemetry, ancestor collection and environment filtering.

Continuous development must not change the source of an admitted release.
Allow the workflow to run at the qualified preparation PR head after its
normal merge, verifying exact source and workflow identity, canonical PR
provenance, and ancestry in the governed release line. Later branch commits
remain outside that release. Document the immutable-candidate contract and
verify source workflow compatibility before qualification.
Validation: snapshot identity and workflow contract tests passed, including
wrong-head, wrong-base, fork, unmerged and unbound dispatch rejection. The
existing release workflow promotion policy test also passed.

The candidate publisher rejected its admitted SHA input. Execute the backported workflow guard in focused tests so accepting the input cannot silently permit source or workflow drift before checkout.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
A workflow dispatch by branch can resolve after that branch moves, allowing an unreviewed tip to enter the release pipeline. Require every publishing dispatch to name its expected source SHA and make the workflow reject a different source or workflow commit before checkout.

Advance the protected v6.4 release line to the bounded alert-reliability beta, align install and chart metadata, and add the user-facing packet. Extend same-commit package and installer proof so alpha, beta, and RC preparation is governed without weakening the completion guard. Disclose the fresh stable Retry/Dismiss 503 report without claiming this candidate repairs that installed failure.

Backport PR1948 for the candidate preflight EACCES regression. Resolve main-only context by preserving release/v6.4 fixed smoke ports and omitting its unavailable PULSE_E2E_BASE_URL variable. No runtime changes, ACL widening, CLI download fallback or gate waiver. Supersedes the proposed ae1ac6ae95 and 0d0b105352 stack; normal reviewed source landing and exact qualification remain required.

Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The held regression candidate needs an honest forward beta above published 6.4.3-rc.1. Bind only 6.4.4 to release/v6.4 without capturing patch 40 or weakening candidate checks. Exercise the actual release and rehearsal branch-policy shell and retain historical rollback mapping.

Stable promotions built whatever the dispatch branch was at that second.
The resolver checked that HEAD descends from the promoted release
candidate but never that its content matches, so v6.4.0 shipped 64
changed files, including product code, that v6.4.0-rc.12 had not
soaked. Every v6 version was mapped to main, which now moves every few
minutes under the autonomous maintainer, so each fix to a candidate
brought everything landed since and stable was never an exact soaked
commit. Five of six stable minor releases shipped under version-bound
owner exceptions that waived the soak.
From v6.5.0 the release train applies (RELEASE_PROMOTION_POLICY.md,
"Release Train"): a two-week train sized to measured velocity, a
release/v6.N branch per train declared in the control plane so the
workflow refuses a dispatch from anywhere else, a stable promotion that
may differ from its candidate only in release metadata unless
hotfix_exception names active customer harm, and a seven day soak for
minor releases. The 6.4.x line stays on main so the v6.4.3-rc.1
candidate already prepared there is unaffected. The gap is registered
as coverage gap release-train-exact-candidate-promotion.
Open the v6.4.3 candidate line from main. The v6.4.2 tag was staged on
2026-08-31 but never activated: its release run was cancelled after the
private Pro build failed the compiler memory gate, so the latest published
stable is still v6.4.1. This candidate carries the complete v6.4.2 change
set plus the corrections landed since that tag, including the stale PBS
Backup Running state (#1815), the Windows Unified Agent auto-update 404
(#1820), and shared-token same-hostname agent identity collapse (#1753).
Packet: VERSION, compose and install-docker defaults, Helm chart metadata,
release notes with a declined visual plan, changelog, pointer docs and
the shipped docs mirror, and the deployment-installability cutoff note.
Rollback target is v6.4.1 and the mobile decision is no-mobile-impact.
Tests: the packet tests now describe the 6.4.3 train, v6.4.2 is recorded
as an unpublished stable so it is never derived as the previous stable or
rollback target, and the Python v6.4.2 notes expectation matches the
phrase the notes actually use.
