Adding the Pulse Agent to a Proxmox cluster member meant generating a
token in the UI and pasting it into an interactive prompt on the host,
even though Pulse already knows the cluster and has an agent on its
siblings. The server-side cluster deploy that avoids this was still
shipped, but its wizard was deleted as an orphan in May, and it could
not reach members discovered by hostname: targets were parsed from the
API URL, so a name like "delly2" hit the agent's literal-IP guard and
failed preflight.
Deploy targets now resolve to a literal IP in the member's API URL or
its cluster endpoint's effective IP, matched on the member's own
connection, and members with no known address come back undeployable
with a reason. The Settings > Infrastructure install actions open one
dialog that checks, installs, and confirms each node is reporting,
falling back to the scoped installer when no sibling agent is
connected or a node cannot be reached.
The deploy routes are keyed on the cluster name, so they now refuse a
name shared by two connections instead of merging two sites, and job
creation admits one install per cluster at a time under a lock, which
lets the dialog keep a run going after it is closed.
The agent-lifecycle, api-contracts, frontend-primitives, and
storage-recovery contracts record the new install path, its address
rule, and the persisted, time-bounded admission check.
Retire runtime/API/UI monitored-system volume enforcement now that infrastructure monitoring is no longer capped.
Keep only legacy metadata scrubbing and purchase-start compatibility for old max_monitored_systems references.
Rename the remaining preview surface to monitored-system impact and make previews explanatory rather than save-blocking.
Update subsystem contracts and RA7 evidence for the caps-retired invariant.
