AI Discovery ran a separate model-backed service scanner beside Patrol
and the Assistant: its own store, scheduler, model route, API, tool and
drawer UI. No telemetry counter ever measured its use (the telemetry
discovery_enabled flag OR'd it with network subnet discovery), the
maintainer judged it a flop, and the context it produced is already
available to the models through pulse_query, pulse_read and the
unified-resource context sections.
This deletes internal/servicediscovery, internal/ai/infradiscovery, the
pulse_discovery tool, the /api/discovery routes, the mock Discovery
fixtures, the Discovery tabs in the resource, guest, node and Docker host
drawers, the identified-service cards, readiness badges, provenance
markers, suggested web-interface URLs, the Workloads AI Context column,
the chat "Discovery is off" hint and the AI Service Context settings page.
The old settings route redirects to Assistant settings. The model-bound
sanitizer allow-list existed only to pass Discovery context through, so it
goes too, along with the CopyableCodeRow primitive that only the
Discovery tab used.
Network subnet discovery (/api/discover, the Infrastructure discovery
settings) and the discoveryTarget agent coordinates are separate features
and stay. Stored discovery_enabled, discovery_interval_hours and
discovery_model AI settings are ignored on load; the settings API decoder
is lenient, so older frontends saving those fields still succeed.
New-finding telemetry lost older activity once the run history reached its
100-entry cap. Persist a bounded daily finding tally with a separate
upgrade cursor, preserving run counts while backfilling retained findings.

The 2026-09-01 Patrol assessment could not answer four questions from
telemetry: what share of Patrol installs run local versus cloud models,
what Patrol costs an install per month (issue 1789 estimates ~104k input
tokens per full run at ~5.5 runs a day, above the Pro fee on non-Flash
tiers), how the 240 of 255 fleet investigations that produced no plan
actually ended, and which effective Patrol mode an install runs.
Schema v17 adds closed buckets only. ai_provider_class classifies the
Patrol model route (none, local, cloud_byok, cloud_subscription,
hosted_quickstart, unknown) with a syntactic private-host check on custom
OpenAI-compatible endpoints; it never resolves DNS or carries a provider,
model, endpoint, or account. pulse_intelligence_patrol_autonomy_level is
the effective level after licence and Autopilot gating. The two token
fields bucket the existing local usage ledger's Patrol events, so exact
counts and prices stay on the install. Thirteen investigation outcome
counters partition the findings already counted as investigated, one
bucket per finding, adding no finding, resource, or session identity.
The strings are never omitted, so an empty value can only mean a pre-v17
sender; the receiver stores those as unknown. PRIVACY.md, its shipped
mirror, the Settings preview interface, and the security-privacy and
api-contracts subsystem notes carry the disclosure, and the coverage gap
is registered in status.json.
The agent-lifecycle and storage-recovery contracts name internal/api under
their extension points, so both record that this telemetry is adjacent
adoption analytics and never agent or storage state. The stable E2E tier
pins the public schema version, so the disclosure spec moves to 17, and
the Settings preview interface change carries a browser receipt from a
scratch build of this tree at 1280x800 and 390x844. status.json also drops
an identical duplicate of the ai-provider-guided-setup coverage-gap record
that two merges each appended, which the private governance audit rejects.
The bucket for a legacy config still pointing at the retired Pulse-hosted
route is named hosted_legacy: the shipped privacy document discloses the
vocabulary verbatim and the frontend copy contract keeps that document
free of the retired hosted quickstart wording, so the telemetry package
now pins the vocabulary at the source.
An enabled Patrol that can never run and one that runs and finds nothing
were indistinguishable in the fleet: both presented as high run counts
with zero AI calls and zero findings. The install that motivated this
sat blocked for over a month because provider initialisation failed once
at boot and was never retried; the self-heal landed separately, but
telemetry still cannot see which blocked cause dominates in the field.
Schema v10 exports the fixed machine cause code (for example
provider_not_configured) only while Patrol is in the blocked runtime
state. The cause rides the router-owned Pulse Intelligence snapshot into
the outbound ping. Blocked-reason text, provider endpoints, model names,
and configuration stay on the install; an untyped blocked reason exports
nothing rather than free text, and a disabled, active, or mid-run Patrol
exports an empty value even when a stale cause is still recorded.
Two counters could not answer the question they exist for.
pulse_intelligence_patrol_runs_30d was counted from the operator-facing
patrol run history, which is capped at MaxPatrolRunHistory (100). On any
install patrolling on a normal schedule that cap is reached within hours
of a thirty-day window opening, so the field reported the cap rather than
the run count, and the calls-per-run ratio derived from it was inflated by
a censored denominator. Patrol run history now carries an uncapped daily
tally beside the capped list, advanced from a persisted high-water mark so
repeated full-list saves cannot double count, pruned to 31 days, and read
in preference to the list. An install with no tally yet falls back to the
list, so the counter never regresses on upgrade.
Schema v8 split agent-side pre-mutation refusals into target-change,
prerequisite and contract categories so they would stop hiding in "other".
In production all three are zero fleet-wide and "other" still absorbs every
refusal, because the dominant reason code is the legacy preflight_refused
aggregate recorded when an agent sends no machine reason code at all.
Agents older than the typed refusal contract report every refusal that way,
so the split is starved rather than broken, and folding the two together
made those two states indistinguishable. Schema v9 counts uncoded refusals
separately.
Six of the eight Pro-exclusive features had no telemetry field at all, so
there was no way to answer whether RBAC, audit logging, scheduled reporting,
agent profiles, alert-triggered AI, or Kubernetes AI were being used by the
installs paying for them. Schema v6 adds nine content-free adoption signals:
alert_ai_enabled AIConfig.IsAlertTriggeredAnalysisEnabled()
rbac_custom_roles non-built-in roles, per org
rbac_user_assignments user-to-role assignments, per org
audit_logging_persistent a persistent audit store is active, not console
audit_events_30d audit events retained inside the window
report_schedules configured scheduled reports
report_schedules_enabled scheduled reports switched on
report_schedules_run_30d schedules whose last run falls inside the window
agent_profiles configured agent profiles
Counts only. Role names, permissions, usernames, schedule names, delivery
recipients, report scope, profile names, and every audit event field stay on
the install. kubernetes_ai needs no field of its own: it is derivable at read
time from alert_ai_enabled combined with the existing kubernetes_clusters
count, and a dedicated field would be redundant.
Config-sourced signals are read through applyLicensedFeatureConfigSnapshot;
RBAC and audit live behind the router and are read through
Router.ApplyLicensedFeatureTelemetrySnapshot. The RBAC read goes through a new
TenantRBACProvider.PeekManager so a background telemetry read can never
provision an RBAC store for an org that has never used RBAC.
Also removes pulse_intelligence_patrol_autofixes_30d and the AutoFixCount
field behind it. patrol_run.go hardcoded AutoFixCount to 0 and no increment
site existed anywhere in the tree, so the counter was zero in all 233,364
retained production pings. That was a wiring bug, not evidence that nobody
uses Patrol fixes; governed fixes are delivered through the approved-action
pipeline, which is already instrumented. The field was plumbed through run
records, history persistence, the Assistant handoff, and telemetry while being
structurally incapable of holding a non-zero value.
Verified end to end against a running install rather than only in unit tests,
which is precisely the check the autofix counter never had: seeding three
report schedules (two enabled, one last run inside the window) and two agent
profiles produced report_schedules 3, report_schedules_enabled 2,
report_schedules_run_30d 1, agent_profiles 2 in the Settings telemetry
preview, and signing in moved audit_events_30d to 1.
The private receiver landed first in pulse-pro 78ff7dd so the new fields are
accepted on arrival.
The 30d window said 18 of 26 approved action attempts failed but
carried zero cause information. Every approved attempt that is not a
verified success now lands in exactly one content-free bucket:
- pre_dispatch: terminally refused before dispatch (plan drift, expiry,
emergency stop, policy authorization)
- execution: dispatched execution failed or ended inconclusive
- unverified: execution succeeded but outcome verification was not
confirmed (reads as success in the UI, counted as failure here)
- stuck_executing: still executing over an hour after dispatch
plus one sanitized machine reason code for the most recent failure.
Successes, failure buckets, and recent in-flight attempts partition the
attempt count, so the next window explains its own gap.
RefuseActionExecution now persists the specific refusal code
(plan_drift, action_plan_expired, ...) as the canonical execution
reason code instead of the generic pre_dispatch_refused, so audit truth
and telemetry distinguish refusal causes without message parsing.
Privacy disclosures updated in both PRIVACY.md copies; the adoption
report script surfaces the new counters.
