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.

Relay left public checkout on 2026-09-29: it only ever connected the
Pulse Mobile app, which retires on 31 March 2027, and existing Relay
subscribers now carry Pro entitlements. The app still sold it. Every
Community install saw a "Get alerts on your phone ... Available with
Relay and Pro plans" upgrade panel on Alerts destinations, the plan
screen offered a Relay card with "Remote web access via Relay", and the
settings section was called Remote Access although Relay never reached
the web UI.
The Alerts push panel now renders only on instances that have the relay
feature, with no upsell. The settings section, nav, header and locale
catalogs say Pulse Mobile and carry the retirement date. Community sees
only the Pro comparison card and Relay-tier licenses see none; gated
mobile features name Pro as their minimum plan. The relay feature is
labelled "Pulse Relay (Mobile Connection)" in the catalog, plan copy no
longer claims remote web access, the backend pairing diagnostics point
at Settings > Pulse Mobile, and the user docs, including PRIVACY.md,
state that Relay does not provide remote web UI access.
White-label branding was advertised as a Cloud Enterprise feature in
docs/CLOUD.md and docs/PULSE_PRO.md while the underlying capability is
still marked "not implemented" in features.go. Pulled from the customer-
facing matrix and prose so we are not selling a vapor feature.
TERMS.md described Pulse Pro as "infrastructure monitoring and AI-powered
automation" — narrowed to "infrastructure monitoring tool with AI-assisted
operations" so the legal document matches the product's actual posture.
Also trimmed the Pro row subtitle in the self-hosted pricing table to
drop "automation" since the AI autonomy surface is framed as assistance
with approval, not automated operations.
