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.
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.

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
Failed setup now yields local-only, topology-free diagnostics. Require recognised Running state and successful tailnet ping before TCP, retain probe exits without raw private output or fallback probes, and exercise twenty synthetic readiness/privacy cases. Parent controls expose false success and private output on both channels. Keep workflow identities, secrets, action pins, mutation gates and release scope unchanged.
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
Current PR2368 fails four native installer jobs and the backend shard because the old assertion still requires the unused v6 API_TOKENS server Secret. Preserve all Helm SCC, read-only RBAC and socket controls, and require server bootstrap before scoped private-file agent provisioning with eleven unsafe or incomplete flow negative controls.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only repair for the reviewed Kubernetes guidance; no runtime, chart, permission, installation or frontend contract change.
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
Merge Core candidate cf12c37e63 unchanged onto 22380a3546. Resolve only the shared browser receipt to the candidate receipt; changed frontend source exactly matches its non-merge proof-bearing commit. Preserve newer safe API recipes and sparse History source.
Retained focused configapi, hostagent, mock, monitoring and installtests race suites, affected API cases, frontend suite and type-check, builds and PVE/PBS desktop and phone-emulated browser checks cover the changed behaviour. Broad API timeout and output-limit attempts remain unresolved, not passes. No installed recovery, release qualification, publication or deployment is claimed.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Preserve exact Delivery candidate 90c80acb49, including bounded grouped notes, operator safety checks and complete qualification source closure. No product or published release changes.
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
Remove only the extra trailing blank line that rejected the candidate's base-to-head diff. The release prose, validation behaviour and published notes are unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Fixture whitespace only; no release-note validation, qualification policy or product behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
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
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
Compose the exact earlier source repair on the current reviewed base for final validation. No published release or source routing is changed.
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.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The root parser's legacy no-token alias accepted a new private-file command beside a legacy download URL. Reject every mixed alias, as the existing coherent-transport contract requires. Preserve backup-permission URL bindings. Align older secret-in-command and shared type fixtures, and exercise the actual wrong server installer parser.
Contract-Neutral: Enforce the already-declared coherent bootstrap transports and correct verification fixtures; no API, scope or documented behaviour delta.
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
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
Separate PVE/PBS setup and telemetry credentials from shell source and download URLs. Use silent root/sudo input, private-file handoff, complete downloads and the agent preflight; preserve scope, TLS defaults, single-line paste and coherent rolling-upgrade metadata. Reveal tokens through the existing dialog and discard late issuance after close. Pin executable shell, history, TLS/registration and browser contracts without using real credentials.
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
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 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
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
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
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 executable audit fixtures pass, but the release-asset check still pins the superseded total-only parser. Preserve the no-threshold and required-workflow checks while asserting positive package/count precedence and a complete typed clean verdict.
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 agent prefers its saved identity before deriving one from the OS. The old live machine-ID deletion recipe could disrupt unrelated services while leaving a Pulse collision unchanged. Explain managed overrides, precedence, private evidence and distinct-host verification in both shipped guides; cover the safe path with documentation and real-browser checks.
Contract-Neutral: Guidance and verification for existing agent identity options only; no runtime, authentication, schema or frontend behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Resolve Tailwind's relative config from the frontend module before starting Vite, as the existing Docs fixture runner does. Keep the initial overflow failure in the lane receipts and expose the privacy-review step in the phone screenshot.
Contract-Neutral: Browser verification harness only; no product, API, schema or runtime change.
