Beta cut from main at 1844f6c0ed. It carries every change merged since stable v6.5.0.
Contract-Neutral: Release-only v6.6.0-beta.3 version, release notes and distribution metadata; no public install or runtime contract changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The containing install-metadata gate requires the existing companion-release disclosure. Retain it alongside, not instead of, the approved retirement notice; do not relax the gate or change the served runtime. Preserve the failed first proof and verify the final notes and actual producer.
Contract-Neutral: Notes-only compatibility disclosure and its assertion; no runtime, protocol, release identity, asset, maturity, latest pointer or cadence change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use the stable-based source comparison rather than a contradictory immutable changelog introduction. Preserve the reviewed bounded monitoring outcomes and the explicit guest-safety limitation, and include the approved Mobile retirement notice in the existing beta correction. Regression assertions bind the exact notice and comparison without changing release identity, assets or cadence.
Contract-Neutral: Published-note maintenance and its regression assertions only; no runtime, protocol, release identity, assets, maturity, latest pointer or cadence change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Do not imply that this beta contains the later SCALE, Unraid or QNAP boot-ownership repairs. Its systemd, OpenRC and SysV source fences remain distinct from native and whole-issue removal acceptance.
Contract-Neutral: Customer note scope correction only; no runtime, tag, version, assets, release maturity, latest identity or cadence change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace generic fallback notes with source-bound customer changes, preserve signed installer and rollback advice, and correct the canonical cumulative changelog range. Cover meaningful notes, source range and safe rendering with regression checks. This is a notes-only candidate, not a live release edit.
Contract-Neutral: Customer notes, changelog introduction and note-content regression tests only; no runtime, source tag, version, asset, maturity, latest-release or release-cadence change.

Promote v6.5.0-rc.1 to stable after its 24-hour soak. Only release metadata changes.

Release candidate cut from main at 2e9404504b. It carries every change merged since stable v6.4.5.
Contract-Neutral: Release-only v6.5.0-rc.1 version, notes and packet metadata generated by pulse-maintainer-release-metadata; no public install or runtime contract changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
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.
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
Open the v6.4.3 candidate line from main. The v6.4.2 tag was staged on
2026-08-31 but never activated: its release run was cancelled after the
private Pro build failed the compiler memory gate, so the latest published
stable is still v6.4.1. This candidate carries the complete v6.4.2 change
set plus the corrections landed since that tag, including the stale PBS
Backup Running state (#1815), the Windows Unified Agent auto-update 404
(#1820), and shared-token same-hostname agent identity collapse (#1753).
Packet: VERSION, compose and install-docker defaults, Helm chart metadata,
release notes with a declined visual plan, changelog, pointer docs and
the shipped docs mirror, and the deployment-installability cutoff note.
Rollback target is v6.4.1 and the mobile decision is no-mobile-impact.
Tests: the packet tests now describe the 6.4.3 train, v6.4.2 is recorded
as an unpublished stable so it is never derived as the previous stable or
rollback target, and the Python v6.4.2 notes expectation matches the
phrase the notes actually use.
Carry an explicit model-selection decision in every existing visual sidecar and enforce that invariant for future packets after the visual-plan schema became evidence-bearing.
Package the bounded stopped-container inspection cadence and same-name Proxmox agent-link correction as the next governed release candidate. Keep stable pointers on v6.3.2 and record unchanged mobile compatibility and Windows signing posture.\n\nContract-Neutral: versioned release metadata only; runtime changes landed in preceding commits
Advance the immutable candidate after rc.7 failed its backend gate, keep stable rollback on v6.3.2, and refresh release, Docker, Helm, and mobile-compatibility metadata.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Package durable alert lifecycle recovery, richer scheduling and routing, capacity forecasting, host disk policy, external availability monitoring, and governed action verification for the next prerelease.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Include the host-agent filesystem collection correction that landed after the initial rc.6 preparation, and keep the release metadata proof aligned with the new main head.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Package the standalone PBS detail restoration, SMART CRC growth alerts, consolidated alert policy, bounded event queries, and Go 1.26.7 toolchain for the next prerelease.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Package the atomic API-token deletion fix, alert delivery evidence, reducer-backed lifecycle cutover, separated agent install tokens, and filesystem history feedback for the next release candidate.
