Agentless availability checks (ICMP/TCP/HTTP) were always minting
standalone network-endpoint resources, leaving them disconnected from
the known Proxmox/Docker guest they actually monitor. This made
availability evidence invisible on the platform resource row where the
user expects it, per the performance-and-scalability bounded-row
contract.
Backend (unified-resources ingest):
- Add LinkedResourceID field to AvailabilityData and AvailabilityTarget
- resolveAvailabilityLink: explicit link first, then exact-IP unambiguous
correlation; skip hostname-only (lossy); guard against overwriting a
different target's facet
- Unlinked/unmatched probes still mint network-endpoint (fallback)
Frontend:
- Relax getAvailabilityProbePresentation for any resource with availability
- Add compact protocol badge to UnifiedResourceHostTableCard name cell
- Add optional 'Link to resource' field to availability target form
- Add linkedResourceId to frontend types
Contracts: api-contracts, unified-resources, monitoring,
performance-and-scalability, storage-recovery.
Governance: coverage_gap + candidate_lane in status.json.
The alert AI button now offers a manual targeted Patrol check alongside the
existing context-only Pulse Assistant handoff, so the take-the-lead intent routes
to Patrol (the investigator) instead of overloading Assistant (the explainer).
POST /api/ai/patrol/run (HandleForcePatrol) accepts an optional scope body and
routes through the same TriggerScopedPatrol engine and scoped run record as
automatic alert-triggered work, not a new trigger route; empty body keeps the
legacy fleet-wide run. Scoped runs honour Patrol readiness but bypass the
full-run cadence gate, consistent with the existing scoped-cadence rule, and
carry resource identity only (no command or remediation payload).
Frontend: triggerPatrolRun(scope?) and a split AI button (patrolOption) on the
alert overview card whose menu runs the scoped check; icon/history rows stay
single-purpose. Contract updates land in the touched/dependent subsystem docs
(ai-runtime, api-contracts, agent-lifecycle, storage-recovery, frontend-primitives,
security-privacy, patrol-intelligence, alerts); subsystem_lookup_test line
expectation refreshed for the api-contracts shift.
The free Patrol working surface stays clean of ambient paid surfacing, but a
plan-locked operator who expands an active critical or warning finding now gets
one honest, non-salesy capability line in the empty primary-action slot: "Pulse
Pro can investigate and fix issues like this." A "Learn about Pulse Pro" action
appears there only when the upgrade-prompt policy allows it.
This is the single allowed contextual at-need prompt — gated to plan-locked
installs, active critical/warning findings, and the upgrade-prompt policy — so
discovery happens at the moment of genuine need without re-tainting the daily-use
surface. Adds getPatrolProInvestigationHandoff in patrolControlPresentation,
threads the handoff through PatrolIntelligenceWorkspace into FindingsPanel,
codifies the carve-out across the owner and dependent contracts, and registers
the patrolControlPresentation test as patrol-page-and-state proof.
Add a registry-backed provider model for runtime metadata and chat-compatible transports.
Support Z.ai, Groq, Mistral, Cerebras, Together, and Fireworks through the shared chat-compatible client path while keeping native providers on their existing adapters. Expose provider metadata through settings and render the expanded provider set in the frontend.
Manifest-backed MCP tools, prompts, and resources with surface affordance contracts; agent capability manifest and governance projection; API contract tests and capability route projection; operations-loop and intelligence-funnel telemetry; release-control subsystem documentation, registry, and tooling; licensing and configuration.
Two silent-downgrade paths in the v5→v6 migration are now visible and
self-healing:
License load/decrypt failure (was: one log line, no UI state): when
license.enc exists but cannot be read, getTenantComponents now persists
a terminal commercial_migration state with reason
persisted_license_unreadable, so the licence panel and global banner
tell the customer to re-enter their v5 key instead of leaving them to
discover missing Pro features.
Failed startup exchange (was: once per process, Community until manual
restart): exchange failures classified as pending — license-server
blips, DNS failures, rate limits — now schedule a background retry loop
with backoff (30s → 30m cap) that re-attempts the exchange until it
succeeds, hits a terminal classification, or the org's service activates
through another path. The loop stops cleanly on manual activation and
StopAllBackgroundLoops.
Registers the new files in the subsystem registry (cloud-paid
commercial-migration verification policy + shared ownership) and pins
both behaviors in the cloud-paid and api-contracts contracts.
Add a paced local Assistant fixture that exercises consecutive tool start, progress, completion, and replacement states without opening a provider request.
Seed Assistant turns with a local prompt-send status, promote it when the chat stream opens, and keep backend workflow activity as the durable stream evidence.
Use neutral assistant wait status while keeping selected model route metadata visible. Make transient retry copy explicit that Pulse retries the selected route rather than switching providers.
Preserve workflow activity rows across active stream content and tool boundaries, and type the generated chat SSE route metadata that drives model activity rows.
Tighten v5-to-v6 upgrade safety, release installability, provider MSP mode handling, AI cost accounting, metrics flushing, and frontend guardrails for the v6.0.0 GA candidate.
Extend the unified-agent RC rehearsal with an optional local v5-to-v6 process-swap check.
Record the v5.1.34 to v6.0.0-rc.6 proof result for the upgrade-continuity gate.
