Reject stale or malformed signed requests and empty keys in the existing receiver example. Explain authenticated payload deduplication and unsigned correlation headers, and exercise the exact copied code with adverse and healthy controls.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and its executable safety checks only; the outbound signing format, transport, endpoints and runtime are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use one bounded, authenticated snapshot and local queries instead of secret-bearing argv and repeated requests. Preserve configuration precedence and rollback state, and judge successful polls rather than a universal queue-depth threshold. Exercise copied commands with HTTP, transport, schema and credential controls.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and copied-command tests only; scheduler runtime and API contracts are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The first complete authentication-help proof exposed a fixture expectation error: curl removes a colon-only header rather than sending an empty value. Preserve that case and add the semicolon form, checking the exact transmitted value across success, denial and redirect controls. Documentation and runtime behaviour are unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Executable documentation control correction only; no authentication, authorisation, frontend or runtime contract delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use private header files rather than shared passwords or proxy secrets in process arguments. Separate intentional AI settings writes from diagnostics, distinguish proxy denials from authentication/transport failures, and preserve the real proxy trust boundary and 5.x limitation. Exercise copied commands, private-file preparation and rendered help.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and executable help controls only; no authentication, authorization, AI autonomy or runtime contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Route Docker and FAQ readers through one credential-source-aware recovery guide. Replace only the active password, retain unrelated settings and agent tokens, and account for systemd drop-ins and container environment application. Check private prompt output, failure stops, bcrypt loading, precedence and rendered help links.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and test coverage only; existing authentication, setup and deployment contracts are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Remove the shared Compose password from the main installation entry point, preserve image and data settings, and explain existing-deployment credential overrides. Extend the auth guide controls and rendered browser navigation checks to this page.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and its controls now reflect the existing bootstrap and environment-override behaviour; no runtime or API contract changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Remove the shared-password override from German and Spanish Compose setup and the password-on-argv example from configuration help. Default to bootstrap setup; exercise private-file permissions, argument boundaries and failed preparation with synthetic credentials.
Contract-Neutral: Help and regression fixtures only; authentication, container and API contracts are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Separate installation rollback from stopped full-state recovery, correct the install guide's automatic-backup promise and name the verified limited published snapshots. Keep shipped help matched, reject the original unsafe claims and exercise desktop and phone Docs links without claiming the unready backend has shipped.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and help verification only; no updater runtime or API contract changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Remove unconfigured Docker and Helm shorthand from the deployment overview. Preserve target edition, existing service and storage scope, and the limits of snapshots and rollback; exercise the maintained help links and regression guards.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace the destructive hardcoded restore recipe with path and backup-scope checks, the existing history control and reversible recovery guidance. Keep Compose image selection persistent and recreate only Pulse after a successful pull. Verify shipped mirrors, source/UI scope, synthetic command failures and desktop/phone Docs rendering.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
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.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
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.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
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.
