Give existing help readers scoped process/container samples, honest units and unchanged-workload baselines. Exercise the exact copied recipes, including stopped services, missing counters and failed or empty container reads, without touching a database or service.
Contract-Neutral: Existing-guide documentation and recipe tests only; no runtime, API, persistence, access or retention change.

Preserve existing polling evidence before a connection test updates its ledger. Explain freshness, optional telemetry and session turnover using the read-only projection, correct the 60-second default, and keep diagnostic steps free of credentials and destructive reproductions.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and existing-guide checks only; no runtime, API, transport, identity, access or retention change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The existing drawer fetches all metrics without a metric query field. Explain metrics-object and single-metric points responses so readers do not wait for an absent CPU request or mistake missing CPU and measured zero for the same result.
Contract-Neutral: Clarify existing History diagnostics and protect mirrored documentation; no runtime, API, identity, access, retention or response-shape change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Preserve every accepted commit while incorporating the published setup-node advisory-cache repair. Upstream changes a separate workflow; retain the proved runtime and documentation candidate bytes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The scheduled watch reads each release line's lockfile in the default
branch's cache scope, so it deliberately writes no dependency cache.
It sets no cache input, but the pinned setup-node enables npm caching
on its own once package.json names npm as its packageManager. Nothing
declares that today; adding it later would silently reopen a
default-branch cache write here. Set package-manager-cache: false, as
five release workflows already do, assert it in the workflow test, and
say how the contract's no-dependency-cache promise is kept.
A skipped profile could reuse an earlier installer receipt and falsely pass the guide's regression check. Clear each recipe's receipt, require its own invocation, and exercise successful no-op and nonzero controls without changing the existing ten-second bound. Apply the same isolation to retarget and cleanup recipes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use the existing delivery activity and failure classes before collecting raw logs. Keep both Docker streams and log-reader exits visible, warn about provider echoes and duplicate retries, and distinguish test success from real alert delivery. Exercise the copied bounded recipes and their unsafe predecessor with synthetic readers.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The LXC discovery report reached command-capable credentials but could not distinguish them from live command-channel admission. Explain the blocked state, keep successful guest checks, and provide a bounded local journal check without credential resets, broader permissions or full-log disclosure. Bind the guidance and command syntax to the existing service events.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The CORE reporter could find requests but not the matching replies. Clarify Firefox message filtering, per-request IDs, CPU versus temperature and bounded response sharing in the canonical and shipped guide; keep secrets and full captures out of diagnostics. Add guidance regression coverage while preserving the existing authenticated connection recipes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Distinguish failed verification from a tampering diagnosis, unsigned history, query errors and runtime gates. Remove live-key replacement and regeneration advice, correct default store paths, and preserve matching keys and history for isolated recovery. Bind the shipped guides to regression checks and exercise recovery distinctions with the real signer and encryption manager on synthetic temporary data.
Contract-Neutral: Audit documentation and synthetic regression controls only; no signing, storage, entitlement, API or frontend runtime behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Search the literal response request ID across JSON and console output, limit log collection, retain reader failures and distinguish missing logs from HTTP success. Explain safe browser evidence and default-level coverage without asking users to repeat a state-changing request. Execute the copied journal and Docker commands against bounded synthetic readers, including stderr, failures, no match and a console-only negative control.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and executable recipe checks for existing request logging only; no API, authentication, runtime, schema or frontend behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace the login-user Docker-group shortcut with actual service-account and collector-profile guidance. Add a one-shot LXC socket/daemon diagnostic that keeps failures visible without collecting container identity or credentials, with executable bounded fixtures.
Contract-Neutral: Existing documentation and diagnostic tests only; collector access, runtime commands, opt-in gates and entitlements are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace token arguments, an ignored API_TOKENS bootstrap and plaintext DaemonSet credentials with scoped UI-created tokens, private files and a pre-created Secret. Route hosted installation to the existing private-file flow and retain HTTP errors and encoded resource identities in metrics queries. Exercise copied recipes, failure stops and actual curl requests with synthetic credentials.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation-only private-file setup and metrics access guidance; no runtime, API, entitlement or deployment contract delta.

On 30 Sep and 1 Oct two new advisories (brace-expansion
GHSA-q2hr-2g5m-vwhr, DOMPurify GHSA-p98j-92pf-mc4p) failed the required
frontend audit on every PR across main, release/v6.4 and release/v6.5,
holding the v6.5 RC for days and blocking the v6.4.6 preparation. The
existing scheduled npm-audit is informational and only sees main. This
adds a daily workflow that runs the same complete frontend audit as
Build and Test on main and every active release line, fails on any
finding, and names the branch, advisories and fix. The maintainer's
release-path health check raises it to Delivery immediately.
An update, rollback or reinstall must not silently enable unattended updates. Share the existing-install opt-in prompt and retain affirmative CLI and interactive choices without changing helper refresh or fresh-install defaults.
Exercise all five existing main flows and add bounded configuration/timer intent observations to the signed published lifecycle rehearsal, including changed and unavailable negative controls.

On 30 Sep-1 Oct 2026 GHSA-q2hr-2g5m-vwhr (brace-expansion) and
GHSA-p98j-92pf-mc4p (DOMPurify) failed the required "Audit complete
frontend dependency graph" step on every pull request to main,
release/v6.4 and release/v6.5. That held the v6.4.6 preparation PR and
the v6.5 RC for days with no owner. The scheduled audit in
security-scan.yml only informs and runs on the default branch, so
release lines were never checked.
dependency-advisory-watch.yml runs daily and on dispatch. It lists main
plus every release/v<major>.<minor> line at or newer than the latest
stable's line (all lines if that lookup fails), then audits each in a
fail-fast-free matrix. Each job fetches only that line's
frontend-modern/package.json and package-lock.json with git and runs
scripts/npm-audit-retry.sh all on them under the same Node.js pin that
build-and-test requires. npm audit reads the lockfile, so nothing is
installed. The job never checks out or runs the audited branch's code,
because a scheduled run holds the default branch's cache scope and
CodeQL flagged running npm ci there as cache poisoning.
A job fails when the audit fails, and its step summary and annotation
name the branch, the GHSA ids and the fix (npm audit fix
--package-lock-only plus raised floors in dependencySecurity.test.ts).
Read-only, hosted-only, no secrets, no uploads.
Accept the exact Product intelligence candidate with private-file API recipes, accurate export and recovery guidance, scoped key revocation and retirement wording. Preserve existing authentication and entitlement authority; retained focused source and browser evidence covers the unchanged documentation content.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use private header and passphrase files for copied API requests, check protected access instead of public health, and preserve actual transfer and lockout permissions. Replace unsafe legacy credential setup and key cleanup, explain deployment-specific recovery, and align existing mobile security guidance with retirement.
Contract-Neutral: Existing security guidance, shipped mirrors and executable documentation fixtures only; authentication, encryption, scopes, entitlements and runtime behaviour are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Preserve the complete reviewed maintenance tip and published upstream source unchanged. Combine their installability contract and subsystem registry entries without changing runtime behaviour.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Completed PR 2362 CI still required the retired credential-bearing PBS bootstrap command, and CodeQL reported an implicit TLS protocol floor in its local fixture. Assert the accepted read-only and private-file guidance instead, forbid the unsafe forms, and explicitly require TLS 1.2 or later in the fixture. No product or permission changes.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation regression assertions and local TLS test fixture only; runtime and public contracts unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Install a published release (latest stable by default) with its signed
install.sh, seed auth, a webhook and a PVE node through the API, upgrade with
the installed /bin/update --version helper, then roll back with the documented
/bin/update --version command. Each step checks /api/version and the binary
version, /api/health, unit state, the seeded settings against fixed
expectations and the pre-upgrade read-back, and data-dir survival, then
reports a phase table in the step summary.
The workflow is read-only, hosted-only, uploads nothing and no release job
depends on it.
CodeQL on PRs 2361 and 2362 flags the fixture's implicit protocol floor. Require TLS 1.2 explicitly and test that same context; retain trusted, untrusted and wrong-host certificate controls without changing product TLS or documentation.
Contract-Neutral: Synthetic TLS test fixture only; no runtime or subsystem contract delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Keep RBAC, audit and organisation tokens out of process arguments. Use signed-in organisation mutations, actual schemas and acceptance rules, a custom role ID, and private audit exports. Exercise copied commands and handler lifecycles without changing runtime authority.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and documentation tests only; authentication, RBAC, tenant isolation, licensing and API runtime contracts are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use the existing HTTP routes with private header files, JSON on stdin and curl defaults disabled. Separate plan, decision and execution, explain their real permissions and retain uncertain-execution safety. Extend the executable guide tests to cover all seven recipes, both header formats, auth failures and trace-enabled local curl settings.
Contract-Neutral: API routes, authentication, scopes, action authority and runtime execution are unchanged; only existing guidance and its executable documentation checks change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use existing Unix and Windows token-file installers, verified HTTPS downloads and inspection before execution across setup, retarget, profile and cleanup examples. Exercise private files, all profile arguments, rejected TLS and failed downloads with synthetic guest-local fixtures.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and executable documentation tests only; installer behaviour, privileges and runtime contracts are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Prefer read-only API access, grant Audit to both PBS identities, keep tokens in private files and verify TLS before sending them. Exercise the documented recipes with synthetic tokens, HTTP failures and certificate rejection controls.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and synthetic recipe checks only; no runtime API, installer, PBS identity or permission contract changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace token and API-key shell arguments with private header and payload files, verify the exact test/save recipes with synthetic credentials, and separate hardware capacity from actual usage and History. Bound local logs and keep sanitized evidence and trusted HTTPS as the troubleshooting path.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and synthetic recipe checks only; no runtime, API, transport or metric contract changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Try both loopback families for IPv6 wildcard listeners without changing explicit or IPv4-only binds. Reserve each family a share of the API deadline, keep all later checks on the responding address, and retry a failed observation once with a fresh bounded budget in the telemetry background runner.
Keep genuine API, UI and asset failures visible and report only a closed timeout category, never transport details. Cover both real listener families, startup recovery, failure and privacy boundaries; synchronise the disclosure and subsystem contract.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
A missing or zero total must not erase package or severity findings. Require a complete typed zero verdict, retain bounded outage handling for unknown reports, and keep raw metadata out of workflow annotations. Add executable regression coverage and update the installability contract.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use a private header file and an authenticated read-only summary rather than passing tokens in argv to a public health check. Exercise both header formats, file permissions, preserved content and failing HTTP auth errors with synthetic local fixtures.
Contract-Neutral: API authentication, routes, scopes and CSRF enforcement are unchanged; this updates existing usage guidance and executable documentation checks.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Render escaped, allowlisted details from the captured audit response instead of making a second registry call outside the wall-clock watchdog. Preserve every advisory failure and outage policy; executable fixtures pin single-request diagnostics, missing detail, transport-error precedence and annotation-safe output.

The script smoke test still required "Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff"
in PRIVACY.md, the wording the previous commit replaced when it removed
the unbacked "secure remote web access" claim. Pin the new description
and forbid the remote web access wording in both copies.
Across the last 25 bot PRs the median open to merge time was about 33
minutes for one PR and about 45 when three opened together. The critical
path was the required Backend tests (api) check, where one go test -race
./internal/api step took about 27 of its 31 minutes. Every other required
check finishes within about 12 minutes.
internal/api now runs as four Backend tests (api-N) shards. Each shard
lists the package's tests with go test -race -list from the commit under
test and runs one contiguous quarter of that list in go test's own order,
so every test, including ones added later, runs in exactly one shard, and
a shard that resolves no tests fails. The split is contiguous rather than
interleaved by name because some internal/api tests depend on package
state left by the tests just before them. A round-robin split by sorted
name failed dozens of tests locally (admin bypass and session store
globals), while the four contiguous slices and the full run all pass. A
Backend tests (api) verdict job keeps the required check name and fails
unless every shard succeeded. Backend tests (rest-0) and (rest-1) keep
their names and package split. Local non-race timings put the heaviest
slice at about 42 percent of the package, so the api check should drop
from about 31 minutes to roughly 14.
Core E2E no longer runs the non-gating probation tier on pull requests.
It could not gate a PR and the promotion rule counts only main runs, so
on a PR it only held each of the eight shard runners about eight minutes
longer, which fed the runner queueing seen with concurrent PRs. Push and
manual runs still execute it.
Go test steps still run for frontend-only changes. Go tests read
frontend sources directly (internal/api contract tests,
internal/unifiedresources walking frontend-modern/src, and the
internal/telemetry repository-wide wording scan), so skipping them by
path would drop real coverage.
A failed update check never reaches the update history, because nothing
was applied, so telemetry could not tell an install whose check is broken
from one that was offered an update and ignored it. The 6.4.3-rc.1 installs
looked healthy while their check failed on every call (#2282).
The update manager now records a closed outcome for every check on the
install's effective channel (up_to_date, available, no_release,
rate_limited, network_error, metadata_error, skipped, error), tagging
lookup failures without changing their error text, and ignores previews of
another channel from Settings. Telemetry schema v18 exports update_channel,
update_check_outcome and update_available. No version, URL or error text
leaves the install. The Settings preview type, privacy disclosure, adoption
report and subsystem contracts are updated to match; the Pulse Pro receiver
change lands separately and the parity check passes against it.
The isolated coverage-v8 5 proposal cannot install beside Vitest 4 because its peer range requires Vitest 5. Ignore only version majors for both packages until a reviewed frontend migration can update and prove the pair together; retain grouped security updates and minor/patch updates.

Keep ESLint 10 and lucide-solid 1.x out of automatic version updates while their lockfile and icon-import contracts fail. Preserve minor and patch updates and guard the rule in Dependabot policy tests.

Rejected active-alert writes still reached history, firing events and
notification dispatch. Make admission explicit across detector and restore
paths so repeated suppressed observations cannot create those side effects.
Reconcile restored alerts when persisted resource policy attaches at startup,
reconcile again after native aliases become canonical, and refresh shared
state before those alerts reach clients.
Preserve occurrence identity when retained alerts re-fire, including durable
history reconstruction and delayed lifecycle replay.
Keep retained table and card components mounted when scrolling shifts the
visible window, so policy editors do not lose unsaved state. Show actual
future maintenance times and the paused-attention effect.
Keep synthetic host machine identities stable across restarts so saved
operator policy remains attached during verification.
Qualify server update and rollback instructions by helper ownership, and
stop signed installer recipes before execution if a download or signature
check fails.
Refs #2237
action_consumer_manifests.json pins each release-consumed action to an exact SHA plus the upstream action.yml sha256, and release_promotion_policy_test.py requires every workflow step to match. Dependabot's github-actions group bumps those SHAs, so every group proposal fails the manifest contract and cannot be repaired offline. Ignore the eight governed actions for version updates and guard the policy against the manifest so pin refreshes stay explicit reviewed work. This resolves the recurring failing actions-minor-patch proposal (#2139).

Advance the managed go-minor-patch group with its required transitives:
golang.org/x/crypto 0.56.0->0.57.0, golang.org/x/term 0.45.0->0.46.0 and
modernc.org/sqlite 1.53.0->1.59.0 (libc 1.75.7, memory 1.12.1, x/text 0.42.0).
All other direct versions are unchanged.
Raise the dev-runtime dependency-manifest floors to the qualified releases and
add the storage-driver integrity floor so a silent downgrade fails. Record the
change in the deployment-installability contract.
The batch is routine managed dependency maintenance, independent of the excluded
6 September SQLite SIGSEGV investigation. The NormalizeSegment benchmark delta is
a code-layout measurement artifact (pure function; caller benchmarks do not
corroborate) and the failed advisory result is preserved.

Dependabot #2100 and #2101 propose TypeScript 5.9.3 -> 7.0.2, but the checked-in @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@8.70.0, @typescript-eslint/parser@8.70.0 and typescript-eslint@8.70.0 each declare a peer dependency of "typescript": ">=4.8.4 <6.1.0". The proposals therefore fail ERESOLVE and all frontend E2E shards, with no security advisory behind them.
Add a semver-major ignore for typescript in the npm ecosystem so majors stay explicit work alongside a lint-toolchain upgrade, and update the config guard test to pin both the browser-runtime and TypeScript ignores.

A RETURN trap is not scoped to the function that installs it. perform_update
left its trap referencing function-local installer_tmp/signature_tmp (and
service_name/service_was_active) installed, so it re-ran when a later function
returned. With those locals gone and 'set -u' active, the updater aborted with
'installer_tmp: unbound variable' immediately after logging 'Auto-update check
completed' — pulse-update.service entered failed state even though the update
had succeeded (reported #2128, affects v6.3.2/v6.4.1).
Disarm the trap with 'trap - RETURN' on its first invocation, and use
${installer_tmp:-}/${signature_tmp:-} so a stray invocation cannot abort the
script. Add a regression test asserting no RETURN trap remains after both the
successful and the prerelease-refusal paths.

The npm-minor-patch group (Dependabot #2115) has been held since 17 Sep
because it bundles @playwright/test, playwright and playwright-core
1.56.1 -> 1.63.0 with 12 safe frontend updates. The offline
browser-verification runtime is pinned to Playwright 1.56.1, so a lockfile
bump breaks browser-proof parity; holding the whole group blocked the safe
updates instead.
Ignore Playwright version updates on the governed 1.56.1 line, matching the
docker governed-tag policy, so the remaining grouped updates can be reviewed
on their own. Security updates stay covered by the weekly npm-audit scan and
the frontend dependencySecurity proof. Extend the dependabot config guard to
lock the policy in.

The reviewed diagnostic named an ephemeral proposal commit that is no longer fetchable after its branch was retired, so a hosted checkout could not archive the fixed candidate.
