TCP probes to fast local-network services can complete in under 1ms,
causing latency.Milliseconds() to return 0. Combined with omitempty on
the poller status struct, this made some probes show 'Online' with no
latency in the settings panel. Now successful probes always report at
least 1ms.
All TCP and HTTP availability probes were failing with 'no route to host'
because the Pulse process's Go networking stack cannot reach local subnet
IPs when a Tailscale system extension is active. The ICMP probe already
worked because it uses exec.Command('ping'). Apply the same pattern:
- probeTCP: try Go net.Dialer first, fall back to exec.Command('nc')
- probeHTTP: try Go http.Client first, fall back to exec.Command('curl')
- Both fallbacks use OS-appropriate timeout flags (macOS: -G, Linux: -w)
- HTTP probes now skip TLS verification (availability check, not identity)
- Add AvailabilityProbeHTTPS protocol constant and wire it through
Validate, HTTPURL, Normalize, and the probe switch
- Replace bulky TooltipPortal tooltip on AvailabilityProbeCell with a
clean native title attribute ('14 ms - checked 3s ago')
Before: 0/20 probes green (all 'no route to host')
After: 14/20 probes green (6 legitimately down hosts)
Agentless availability checks (ICMP/TCP/HTTP) were always minting
standalone network-endpoint resources, leaving them disconnected from
the known Proxmox/Docker guest they actually monitor. This made
availability evidence invisible on the platform resource row where the
user expects it, per the performance-and-scalability bounded-row
contract.
Backend (unified-resources ingest):
- Add LinkedResourceID field to AvailabilityData and AvailabilityTarget
- resolveAvailabilityLink: explicit link first, then exact-IP unambiguous
correlation; skip hostname-only (lossy); guard against overwriting a
different target's facet
- Unlinked/unmatched probes still mint network-endpoint (fallback)
Frontend:
- Relax getAvailabilityProbePresentation for any resource with availability
- Add compact protocol badge to UnifiedResourceHostTableCard name cell
- Add optional 'Link to resource' field to availability target form
- Add linkedResourceId to frontend types
Contracts: api-contracts, unified-resources, monitoring,
performance-and-scalability, storage-recovery.
Governance: coverage_gap + candidate_lane in status.json.
