The vSphere Activity tab titled every vCenter event with its class name
("HostConnectedEvent", "HostProfileAppliedEvent"), and its When column
clipped the time on every row at most widths.
Pulse never asked vCenter for the readable message: QueryEvents leaves
out fullFormattedMessage unless the filter sets disableFullMessage, so
on a real vCenter the drawer's Message row was always empty too. The
client now sends disableFullMessage: false, and the provider titles an
event change with that message, falling back to the class. That also
gives Patrol's change context a readable reason. The page model prefers
the message for rows stored before this change, and keeps the class as
an Event type row in the drawer and in search.
When now reads as an age ("1d ago"), as Kubernetes events do, with the
exact time on hover and in the drawer. A vCenter time before 2000 (its
unset marker) still shows as "-". The Activity table moves from the
date-time registry rule to the relative-time rule.
Project vCenter network inventory through canonical resources and add the vSphere Networks table backed by vCenter network topology. Align resource presentation coalescing so state and resource APIs share the same host contract.
Add a global resource timeline endpoint for provider activity and wire vSphere Activity to VMware timeline changes. Seed mock VMware activity through the same supplemental-change path and keep the relevant resource contract tests current.
