PlatformResourceTable was the only renderer of UnifiedResourceTable, and
nothing imports it. Every platform page (Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes,
TrueNAS, vSphere, Machines) renders its own native tables, and
/infrastructure only shows the opening-workspace placeholder. A
production build of main already tree-shook the whole cluster (none of
its strings ship), yet it still carried 11 source files, 7 test files,
registry ownership in two subsystems and contract rules for a table
nobody sees.
Removed: PlatformResourceTable and its PLATFORM_STATUS_FILTER_OPTIONS;
UnifiedResourceTable with its host, service, PBS and PMG cards, source
badge cell, state hook, viewport sync and models; and
ClusterDeployBanner, which only the host card rendered (the live cluster
deploy flow is the Settings ClusterAgentDeployDialog). Their tests go
with them.
Coverage for live code those tests also exercised is kept: the detail
mapper no-fetch boundary and the online boolean sensor case move to
resourceDetailMappers.test.ts, the ResourceFacetSummary render cases
move to their own test file, and both files become registered proofs for
the policies that govern their subjects. Guardrail tests, the shared
template registry, registry.json, status.json evidence and the
performance, unified-resources, frontend-primitives and cloud-paid
contracts drop the deleted paths and the rules that only governed them.
Rollup used to name the large shared chunk after sharedPlatformPage; it
now names it MetricBar, so the bundle baseline entry is re-keyed at its
measured size.
Since 4 October 2026 releases are mechanical: the release train cuts the
next minor from main 14 days after the last stable (or earlier on
request), soaks the release candidate on Preview for 24 hours, and
promotes it unchanged unless an open release-blocker issue stops it.
The shipped release docs, the promotion policy, the checklist, the source
of truth, several governance pages and two workflow comments still
described the retired model: release lines, steward judgment, 72-hour
soaks, a nightly rehearsal and patch releases scheduled by severity.
State the train's rules once, in the Release Train section of the
promotion policy, checked against the train itself, and point the rest
at it. Remove the unused internal copy of the promotion resolver, which
still enforced the old 72-hour soak.
An amber vSphere datastore or network gave no reason on its row: the
vCenter alarm behind it sat one click away in the drawer or one tab
away on the Overview. The alarm text itself led with boilerplate
("Network network-302 has VMware alarm ... (yellow)"), so the Overview
truncated the part that mattered.
A vCenter incident summary is now what vCenter flagged: the alarm's
own name, or "vCenter health is <colour>". Every surface that shows
it already names the resource and severity. Alert cards, notification
templates, and Patrol titles carry the resource name. Patrol's seed
context now names the resource on each alert line, and Patrol titles
key off the incident code instead of parsing the wording, while still
reading records persisted in the old form.
The alert card used to find vSphere by looking for "vmware" in the
message. It now routes on the incident provider, which also sends ESXi
host alarms to vSphere instead of to Machines, where hosts are not
listed. The card's own test becomes a registered alerts proof.
The Datastores and Networks tables gain the exception-first Health
column that TrueNAS storage uses. The cell moves into a shared
PlatformIssueReason, so the two platforms cannot drift; TrueNAS
renders the same. A row's dot and its reason now come from one
classification. Hosts shows only from a 72rem container, where it
reads instead of truncating, and the tablet band splits columns by
weight.
Every subsystem must declare require_explicit_path_policy_coverage, so
build_verification_requirements never falls back to a rule's default
verification policy; an unmatched runtime file becomes a path-policy gap
instead. The default test_prefixes and exact_files were therefore never
consulted, yet 13 of 16 rules carried them (93 files and one prefix),
and authors kept adding proofs there as if they counted.
92 of the 93 files were already proof on some path policy, and
api-contracts' default prefix is on three of its own policies. The one
orphan, internal/api/router_bench_test.go, benchmarks the api-contracts
router rather than any performance-and-scalability runtime, so no policy
should take it; it stays an owned file only.
The registry drops the lists, registry_audit requires them empty and
points authors at the path policy instead, and the canonical protocol
says so. The protocol also stops promising same-subsystem tests "when
the registry explicitly allows them", which the audit no longer permits.
No verdict changes: build_verification_requirements returns identical
requirements for all 2746 owned runtime paths, and for an uncovered
path, under the old and new registry.
staged_verification_files_for_requirement() matches
allow_same_subsystem_tests against a subsystem's
owned_prefixes/owned_files, but both commit guards passed it the
impacted entry, which carried neither. Since the v6 import (778a2577b6)
a same-subsystem test never satisfied a requirement, while
subsystem_lookup.py (which passes the registry rule) and the guard's own
BLOCKED message ("same-subsystem test/spec files are also accepted")
said it would.
Honouring the 12 flags would have loosened the guard well past their
apparent intent. Every rule requires explicit path-policy coverage, so
the five rule-level flags are never consulted, and on the seven path
policies the flag reaches every test the subsystem owns: a
mutation-registry change would accept any internal/ai or AI Chat test
(~455) instead of its 4 listed proofs, and a frontend Actions change any
Go test under internal/unifiedresources. Six of the seven already list
their own directory in test_prefixes.
So the strictness stays and the tools now agree on it: the registry sets
the 12 flags to false (what has always been enforced), registry_audit
rejects true and points at test_prefixes/exact_files, and the impacted
entry carries the rule's ownership so the completion and commit-shape
guards read the flag the same way subsystem_lookup does.
No requirement accepts a proof it rejected before. subsystem_lookup
stops reporting matches the guard refused: a new internal/hostagent test
no longer claims three agent-lifecycle policies.
The completion guard's CI mode now compares contract text against the
evaluated commit (#2502), but it still decided which contracts a commit
owed from HEAD's registry and contract index. CI walks a branch with HEAD
at the tip (or at main after a merge), so a later commit could change an
earlier commit's verdict. If a later commit added a Shared Boundaries
reference to a file, an earlier commit that was complete when written got
blocked. If a later commit dropped ownership of a file, an earlier commit
that changed it without its contract passed. The pre-commit hook read
both from the commit's own index, so CI and the hook could still
disagree.
repo_file_io and subsystem_contracts can now read from a revision as well
as the working tree or index. A revision read uses only that commit's
tree and fails closed rather than falling back to the disk. In diff-base
mode the guard reads the registry and contract index from the evaluated
commit, as does the Prettier-only inference that --commit enables.
Replaying CI's per-commit loop over the last 120 commits on main gives
the same verdicts as before.
CI and dev-prepush walk a branch's commits with HEAD at the branch tip and
run the completion guard per commit with --diff-base <commit>^. The guard
then compared the parent's contract text against HEAD rather than against
the commit it was evaluating, so every commit was judged by the whole
branch. The pre-commit hook compares HEAD with the staged index, which is
the commit's own parent-to-commit change, so the two disagreed.
PR 2494 hit this: its second commit reverted a Current State paragraph in
performance-and-scalability.md that its first commit wrote. Parent-vs-HEAD
saw no change, and CI blocked a commit the hook had correctly passed. The
same comparison lets a bare runtime commit through when a later commit in
the branch carries the contract update.
When --commit is given, the guard now resolves the diff base and reads the
new contract text from that commit. CI already passes --commit, and
dev-prepush now does too. Without --commit the guard still compares with
HEAD, which is right when the evaluated commit is checked out.
## What changes and why
- Keep backup-age checks fast and make failed or partial evaluations
visible through one existing system warning, without clearing retained
age alerts. Indexed latest-observation reads preserve retention, schema
and the read budget. This responds to the recurring missed checks
reported in #2465; synthetic timing is not proof of relief on the
reporter's Pi.
- Defer guest-agent commands after uncertain HTTP results and require
same-target, unambiguous backup-lock evidence before guest reads. Keep
guest coverage truthful when only remembered versions or a parent-node
assignment exist. Preserve the original observation time/source of
retained memory through existing backend projections. These changes
advance #2439 safety, but do not establish native thaw or recovery.
- Attribute Proxmox backups using native connection/node and unique PBS
namespace evidence, retaining ambiguous artifacts rather than assigning
them by substring or display name. Show unreliable PBS capacity as
Unknown/Unavailable, while retaining valid measured zero and readable
phone warnings.
- Restore existing TrueNAS and VMware connection alerts using the
constructed runtime pollers. This does not resolve the distinct
monitoring cause reported in #2382.
- Keep safe report collection and attachment guidance self-contained,
and make manual backup pause/resumption precautions usable. Repair the
Diagnostics integration journey's outdated controls, download assertions
and session capability, without changing production authorization.
## Included source
Published base `61146105c74a5968d877691e02963c41f8e66076` → exact final
head `af73b0e6c618da83c4fc5e702ba464257481851c`.
The previous proposal head `dcde1d0157d5e3c4cd626d6b920a45016a3f0437`
and all reviewed ancestry remain unchanged. This advances the proposal
once after its workflows completed with demonstrated failures; it does
not interrupt a checking head.
Reviewed candidates include:
- Previous batch: guest HTTP `cd1e3ba12f`, runtime alerts `7f5c8a0cf1`,
safe intake `496ba1e73e`, PBS capacity/render sequence `8f09a59996`
through `d2f7e456b3a`.
- Manual pause `3fd44b8325`; native backup ownership `c5e83ceb3a` /
`6198a3ce22`; authoritative locks `b77e6908e6`; truthful guest coverage
`ba3e2d2c1c` / `8f9a9a6a1e` / `f9f53befbb`.
- Backup evaluation/query `5774b6bc4b` / `7a19a06631`; Diagnostics
sequence `ed168c8d7e` through `a3bbcae0c9`; memory provenance
`abee023634` through `80d8ad0f59`; self-contained intake `7c9922f55d`.
- Starting reviewed canonical tip
`8003a4037bf2e6628d47ca6c7da239a11096168e` is retained. Four additive
publication corrections (`745ddc982a` through `79091f7b03`) supply the
report-form contract, connected docsLinks regression and exact
historical completion pair. The first completion's section placement
failed the checker; its substantive-section correction passes. No
accepted commit was amended or recreated.
## Validation and remaining gates
The previous proposal's completed runs remain adverse: Build/Test
`37204956836` failed the documentation drift assertion; E2E
`37204956824` failed Diagnostics shards 3/6/8 (download/obsolete
Run-control timeouts). These warrant the admitted changed-source
repairs, not an unchanged retry.
Retained reviewed evidence includes guest transport/connected/race/build
(`source-5_ta7via`), runtime alert connected proof (`source-s0xmdftf`),
PBS source/render evidence (`source-_9ekxhcy`), manual-pause
source/render (`source-ifgmfzhw`), all-reader authoritative-lock proof
(`source-41amnzmb`), guest coverage's 1,901 connected tests/full
types/lint/build and inspected Chromium/WebKit desktop/phone renders
(`source-3y6kfagt`), backup recovery/alerts/monitoring/races/vet/real
builds (`source-vc1jlsz9`), and memory
models/unified-resource/alerts/monitoring/races/vet/types/real
embed/build (`source-5swnugj9`). Diagnostics retains nine passing
full-app journeys with matching source hashes; catalogue
`source-cyehgbio` discovers 916 test/project identities, including all
nine Diagnostics cases, but is not runtime acceptance. Intake
`source-stznewur` retains two intended parent failures and passing
policy/documentation/mirror checks.
Publication checks: provenance, clean retained ancestry, per-commit
canonical completion/history, registry/contract audits and final
browser-content coverage (nine changed production frontend files) pass.
Earlier proposal-head (`79091f7b`) offline VM proof `source-1fn6chab`
passes 36 docsLinks tests, formatting, 27 intake cases, 211 public
Markdown checks and 62 mirrors, with complete hash-matched output and
guest stop. Its line-index bound is explicit. Earlier `source-yj300mm2`
passed docsLinks but exited 1 when a browser script was mistakenly
invoked in a source VM without Playwright; no browser result is claimed
from that attempt. Earlier local preparation failures and prior
API/embed limitation remain evidence at their own bindings, not green
aggregate results.
Required exact-head CI must run the complete backend/build/frontend,
audit and protected E2E checks, with independent source review, before
landing. Existing sufficient connected/render proof was not repeated
solely for batching. This is source publication, not release
qualification, deployment, native appliance/guest acceptance or
completion of the linked reports. The containing all-main release, Pi
evaluation/failure/recovery, native backup/thaw/covered writes/liveness,
remaining memory drawer consumption and installed whole-panel/alert
results remain separate.

## Completed workflow reconciliation and additive smoke repair
The starting proposal head `79091f7b0317807fcc76e36cde52c4ee1cc4c928`
and every reviewed commit remain ancestors of this head. Build/Test
`37219920651` has now completed. All backend partitions, frontend,
governance, security and all eight E2E shards/verdict passed, but script
smoke failed two obsolete whole-guide assertions in
`test_vm_disk_diagnostics.py`; backend build was consequently skipped.
The reviewed manual backup precaution deliberately adds six server/timer
examples. The old passive-helper test counted all seven guide examples
and banned `systemctl` throughout the whole guide. This source mismatch
warrants changed-source repair, not an unchanged retry. Additive
test-only `c4a72995c6bf2465a6540a1b546a9dcd732944af` scopes
passive-helper execution to its named section and admits only the exact
six reviewed manual-pause blocks. Its first local run retained one
failure because a shell comment was mistaken for a heading. Additive
`af73b0e6c618da83c4fc5e702ba464257481851c` parses headings only outside
fenced blocks. All 17 diagnostics/safety controls now pass, including
missing/duplicate headings, shell comments and five prohibited-command
mutations. The passive helper still rejects active guest requests and
service mutations. Production and guidance bytes remain unchanged;
mirrored docs and connected intake checks pass. Both failed
correction/control observations remain recorded, not relabelled.
Final publication provenance, clean retained ancestry, additive
contract/registry audits and the unchanged nine-production-file
browser-content coverage pass. Lightweight confined fixture proof
supplies the full 17-case suite; existing heavy/render proof was not
repeated for this test-only delta. This proposal advances only after the
previous head's workflows completed. Exact new-head CI must rerun its
required checks before landing.
The completed advisory benchmark job is also adverse:
`RefreshPlatformScopes` 294.1 → 325.0 ns (+10.51%) and
`ClassifyResourceSensitivity` 67.68 → 77.20 ns (+14.07%), each p=0.000
with ten samples. Their implementation and benchmark source are
unchanged across the batch; that does not prove noise, intentional cost
or lack of regression. Delivery owns a bounded evidence-based
disposition through the existing lane handoff. No favourable repeat,
threshold change or performance/release approval is claimed.

Releases are cut from the head of main since 2 October, but three things
still made every release need hand edits before it could pass:
- the control plane routed 6.5.x to the abandoned release/v6.5 line;
- main lacked the published 6.4.4 to 6.4.6 packets, so rollback
derivation on main still found 6.4.1;
- the packet tests pinned prose from old 6.4.x notes (named
highlights, issue numbers, one release's mobile decision) and the
per-release sentences in the deployment-installability contract,
which changes several times a day on main.
Map 6.5 to main, carry the published packets over from release/v6.4,
and keep the packet tests to what the release tooling generates: version
pins, packet pointers, required sections and the rollback, signing and
mobile sentences.
Contract-Neutral: Release routing and release-packet test scope only; no runtime, install or public contract changes.
Use the exact additive completion that satisfies the unchanged canonical checker. Retain the earlier failed completion and every reviewed commit as history.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Register the exact historical completion pair for governance CI; preserve the intermediate repair and all later accepted source unchanged. Completion checks still require ancestry, substantive contract text and registry-accepted proof.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Keep the inherited report-form commit untouched and bind its additive completion to the tree with the actual optional attachment field IDs. The existing real guard still requires the contract and executable verification together; no release or runtime acceptance is asserted.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The first exact-source suite reached an erroneous common evidence-field assumption: the bug form uses logs while the prerelease form uses evidence. Verify both real identities and their shared label without changing either form, requiring new diagnostics or weakening the optional-evidence assertion. Retain the original failed proof.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use the existing exact-commit completion registry and exercise its real guard, ancestry and substantive verification requirements. Preserve the original documentation-link commit and the final self-contained forms; no history is rewritten and no completion or release check is weakened.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Record self-contained collection and privacy safeguards for installed releases and parse both forms to protect their actual inline advice. This additively supplies the missing deployment-installability contract and accepted verification for the retained documentation-link correction without rewriting reviewed history or changing any runtime safeguard.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Merge exact Delivery candidate c5bd6f1d99. Resolve the overlapping test-only repair by retaining the union of existing and candidate read-only admission and billing-write prohibitions. No runtime or frontend changes.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only integration preserves production behaviour and release authority.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
PR2429 governance run 37161775883 still required the superseded entitlement rewrite after reviewed repair 7d739698 made profile admission read-only. Require the existing demo capability and reject the former integrity removal and billing rewrite instead. Retain runtime-setting, release and recovery guards unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only integration reconciliation; production billing and release admission are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
PR2429 governance run 37161775883 still requires the removed demo entitlement rewrite and integrity clearing. Require the existing read-only capability gate instead, and reject billing writes or integrity removal. Keep all runtime profile, protected publication and exact-RC controls.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only alignment with the reviewed billing-preserving demo transaction; no runtime, API, deployment authority or release policy delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Retain reviewed local source and upstream governance exactly. Resolve the retired shared receipt in favour of deletion; historical non-merge receipts remain available in Git.
Contract-Neutral: Integration only; no changed frontend runtime content or product contract.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Correct the empty-heading control and retain current signed-archive selection and loss-aware rollback terminal checks. Reviewed runtime commits a2fc29b70b and 227657b1b0 replaced the old installer and unconditional receipt writes; this changes no runtime or release gates.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only alignment with already-reviewed release signing and recovery contracts; no runtime, policy, qualification requirement or public content changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Align Python preparation with the existing Go reader-facing contract. Accept authored titles with or without the legacy suffix, require exact first-heading identity, and reject malformed headings even when prose repeats the version.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only alignment with the existing release-note identity contract; no runtime, policy, packet, qualification requirement or public content changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The per-commit receipt change left
frontend-modern/browser-verification.json in the tree, frozen, so that
it would not conflict with the pull requests still rewriting it. Nothing
reads the file at the tip: range mode reads a receipt from the commit
that recorded it. Left in place it invites the old habit and keeps those
pull requests conflicting with each other on it.
The guard now refuses a staged tree or a range tip that carries the
file, rather than only a commit that writes it. Without that, resolving
the modify/delete conflict by keeping the file changes nothing against
HEAD, passes the hook, and restores the file on main when the branch
merges.
A pull request that still rewrites the file is repaired by merging main
and removing the file with git rm. Its commits remain valid evidence in
range mode.
Every commit touching user-visible frontend source rewrote the single
frontend-modern/browser-verification.json, so any two open frontend pull
requests conflicted as soon as either merged. A merge could not repair
the loser: concluding it staged main's frontend files as if the author
had changed them, and the guard then demanded a receipt for files the
author never ran. The only honest recovery was a rebuild on the new main
and a fresh browser pass, as #2415 -> #2418 -> #2433 showed on 2-3
October.
Each commit now adds its own receipt under
frontend-modern/browser-verification/, named by the fingerprint of the
content it verified. Receipts are only ever added, so git merges them
unaided. The guard keeps every binding it had: the commit's own parent,
the exact changed paths and their content digests, a desktop and a
narrow viewport, non-empty routes, states and interactions, and the
range check that each changed file's final content matches a receipt
from a non-merge commit in the range.
Concluding a merge no longer counts content a merged parent already
carries as the commit's own change. Merged content that neither parent
holds is flagged and still needs a follow-up receipt in range mode, and
a merge commit may not record one.
The shared file is retired: no commit may write it again. A commit that
modified it while its own parent still carried it stays valid evidence
in range mode, so a pull request that still rewrites it is repaired by
merging main and taking main's copy rather than by a rebuild. The file
is deleted in a change of its own, because deleting it here would
conflict with every pull request that still rewrites it.
--write-template writes the skeleton at the path the staged content
requires. --prune deletes receipts already on main. A change that
records a receipt may not delete one: git pairs the two as a rename,
which conflicts with any other change deleting the same receipt.
Candidate preflight rejected three path lists that used ASCII or insertion order instead of the registry's case-insensitive order. Sort only those lists and exercise the committed registry in the audit suite so fixture-only passes cannot miss the same mistake.
Contract-Neutral: Canonical registry path-list ordering and regression coverage only; ownership, verification requirements and runtime behaviour are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The broader release-policy check still expected the removed shell configuration step. Assert its real transaction entry and runtime profile/entitlement preservation while keeping activation, exact stable tag, network and public browser checks unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Align verification with the already implemented demo transaction; no runtime or authority change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Exercise actual systemd and Caddy with a changed executable, distinct persistent data, delayed synthetic failure, observer loss and TERM during full rollback. Keep 300-second clocks, exact-source and cleanup receipts; no production credential or worker system privilege is added. Update the connected recovery contract and policy assertions, and retain bounded service identity observations.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Assert the existing file-level verification receipt so the new routing control exercises real ownership instead of assuming an unavailable summary field.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only assertion of existing subsystem lookup output; no runtime or authority change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Keep new source paths on their own connected proof policy after the full lookup suite exposed six broadened metadata expectations. Preserve terminal no-op cancellation evidence and the runtime file owner.
Contract-Neutral: Correct connected observation and verification routing within the existing demo operations and authority.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Convergence used main's unmapped fallback and rejected the immutable 6.4.6-rc.1 source. Retain its exact-version release/v6.4 policy for artifact convergence and promotion without mapping future patches or accepting unrelated source.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Governance run 37016171545 rejected the original malformed timestamp even though a later reviewed receipt corrected it for identical runtime bytes. Use the existing fail-closed integration-range guard in CI while retaining per-commit canonical checks. Exercise the workflow shell with valid additive correction and invalid missing-base or unverified-content fixtures.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Exact closure validation also identified eleven uncovered package roots pulled into the install-test binary. Bind their Go/template inputs without changing runtime or relaxing the attestation assertions.
Contract-Neutral: Additive source-manifest coverage only; no runtime or subsystem contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Include the four current install-test inputs omitted from the rootful source manifest and report exact missing paths on future drift. Product and qualification assertions are unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Additive qualification source closure and diagnostic-only assertion message; no runtime or subsystem contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
First step of the release simplification plan. create-release.yml loses
candidate_qualification and release_readiness, which only restated other
jobs' results. Their exact predicates move into publish_release_tag,
publish_docker, publish_helm_chart, activate_release and
release_commit_verdict, with cancellation unchanged.
recover-release-activation accepts both run shapes, so v6.4.6 and older
runs recover exactly as before. Failure-only diagnostics and the chart
artifact nobody downloads keep 3 days instead of 14 or 90. Only lines
cut from main after this land use it (release/v6.6 from 7 Oct). Reviewed
with gpt-6.1-sol, SAFE TO MERGE; predicate equivalence sampled over
2,784 cases.
Completed PR #2379 governance run 36949586647 reached a later subsystem lookup assertion that also omitted the reviewed startup test. Preserve registry coverage and update the remaining stale expectation additively; no runtime or permission change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The first correction exposed the later monitoring-specific assertion in the same test. Align that exact list too, without changing policy or coverage. All 132 governance fixture tests now pass under the confined native-Git fixture executor.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
PR #2379 governance run 36940673378 failed two exact verification-file assertions after the reviewed startup test was added to the registry. Retain the declared coverage and update both fixture expectations; runtime and accepted commit identities remain unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
candidate_qualification and release_readiness only restated other jobs'
results. publish_release_tag, publish_docker, publish_helm_chart and
activate_release now each carry the exact candidate predicate in their own
needs and if, guarded by !cancelled() with the same allowed integration
skip, and activation joins the tag and both registry publications directly.
The commit verdict restates every candidate result in place of the
readiness join.
recover-release-activation.yml accepts both shapes. A source run that has
release_readiness still has to prove only that join, as before. A run
without it has to prove publish_release_tag and at least one, and only
successful, jobs under the publish_docker and publish_helm_chart caller IDs.
Failure diagnostics and the inspection-only Helm chart artifact, which
nothing downloads, are kept for three days instead of 14 and 90.
Exact-source validation found two unbound compiled packages after composing the retained notes repair with current main. Include both in the source manifest and report the whole dependency closure without weakening the check.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Bind the new compiled notes helper and authored fixture in the rootful source manifest. Repair the visual rollback fixture's missing version and align the internal control-plane page with the active release-reliability target, without changing source routing or published packets.

Bind stable notes to version and operator disclosures rather than obsolete prose. Support bounded grouped customer sections for v6.4.6 and later, align generation and rendering, and preserve published history and all qualification gates.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The first exact offline suite passed the metadata cases but the clean-tree assertion saw Python import bytecode because the fixture omitted the real .gitignore. Copy that existing policy into the fixture, retaining the source/no-mutation assertion.
Contract-Neutral: Fixture setup now copies the existing repository ignore policy; runtime and deployment contracts are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The exact no-mutation watchdog failed at published 6.4.5 because the release line has pending repairs but still declares its stable VERSION. Observe that governed source and its preceding stable reference without inventing a new promotion, while keeping candidate resolver gates unchanged and watchdog artifacts out of promotion-readiness records.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace two stale schema assertions with explicit watchdog omission and ordinary candidate rollback requirements. The actual workflow admission/source-selection shell tests preserve the fail-closed distinction.
Contract-Neutral: Tests and explanatory comments reflect the already recorded watchdog admission contract; no further runtime contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Retain the scheduled governed-source selection and no-mutation demo verdict in a separate fixed dispatch mode. Check its control SHA and candidate-free envelope before checkout, preserve ordinary rehearsal rollback and exact event-source guards, and skip candidate builds.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Keep the existing signed installer fallback and require nearby Pulse helper ownership for every install and rollback example, including authored bullets. A distant community-scripts warning must not make an unsafe command publishable.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The feedback form forced screenshots into shell code fences and conflated a running container image with a non-container release asset. Preserve rendered attachments, ask for the Pulse image only on running containers, and keep failed-install evidence truthful.
Contract-Neutral: Community issue intake only; release and installation contracts unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The bug and v6 pre-release forms previously required reproduction steps even when a retry could cause a host outage, duplicate update, alert storm or data loss. Ask for the original sequence and safe evidence instead, and mirror the guidance in the public triage document.
Contract-Neutral: Community intake wording only; release and installation contracts unchanged.
