The reporting engine's synthesis layer was reachable only through
Generate/GenerateMulti, which always rendered PDF or CSV. Pulse
Assistant needs the same retrospective synthesis (per-resource
summary, fleet outliers, period comparison) in a form it can present
in chat, not as a downloaded artifact.
Add two non-rendering entry points to the Engine interface:
NarrativeFor(req MetricReportRequest) (*Narrative, error)
FleetNarrativeFor(req MultiReportRequest) (*FleetNarrative, error)
Both run the same query path and the same narrator resolution as their
rendering counterparts (heuristic by default, AI when the request
supplies a narrator, fail-closed-to-heuristic on any narrator error)
and return the structured narrative without invoking the fpdf/csv
output stage. Test stubs in pkg/reporting and internal/api are
updated to implement the extended interface.
These are the seams the upcoming pulse_summarize Assistant tools wrap
to answer questions like "what's hot on pve1 this week" or "where
should I look across my fleet" without round-tripping through report
generation. Same synthesis layer, no PDF involved.
Also fixes a pre-existing flake in TestEngineGenerate_UsesSuppliedNarrator
(metrics writes are async; the first Generate sometimes ran before
the raw tier flushed). Wrapped in the same eventually-pattern used by
the prior-period and findings-provider tests.
Replace manual resource ID entry with a searchable, filterable resource
picker that uses live WebSocket state. Support selecting multiple
resources (up to 50) for combined fleet reports.
Multi-resource PDFs include a cover page, fleet summary table with
aggregate health status, and condensed per-resource detail pages with
overlaid CPU/memory charts. Multi-resource CSVs include a summary
section followed by interleaved time-series data with resource columns.
New POST /api/admin/reports/generate-multi endpoint handles multi-resource
requests while the existing single-resource GET endpoint remains unchanged.
Also fixes resource ID validation regex to allow colons used in
VM/container IDs (e.g., "instance:node:vmid").
