## What changed and why
Reduce configuration-fetch audit overhead without hiding access events
(#2320). The suppression tracker now remembers at most 4,096
organisation/agent pairs and uses an expiry index instead of repeated
full-map scans. Existing agents keep daily suppression; unremembered
agents at capacity are conservatively audited on every fetch.
Token/configuration changes and every failure remain audited. No audit
history is deleted.
The Apprise confidentiality test now observes the autonomous queue
dispatcher instead of starting a competing manual batch. Its lifecycle,
retry, configuration and confidentiality assertions remain intact.
Preserve the exact 6.4.6 release-line mapping for the already-published
packet. The fallback to main incorrectly rejected its immutable source
during convergence. This maps that version only, not future patches, and
changes no candidate product source.

## Validation and limits
Recorded independent-review evidence: Core returned four complete
source-proof receipts covering connected
configuration-fetch/authorization tests, five race repeats,
notifications correctness/races and ten queue-fixture repeats,
vet/builds, 135 governance tests, 23 docs-sync tests and frontend
production build/budgets. Its fixed controls retained a maximum of 4,096
keys versus 12,288 in the predecessor; saturated in-memory lookup
measurements are not installed write-rate or CPU acceptance.
Delivery returned a complete offline source proof of 947 release-control
tests (8 skipped), with guest shutdown. The exact-version tests reject
unrelated versions. These are reviewed owner returns, not new
qualification executions by this publication gate.
On the combined committed source, provenance, whitespace, ancestry,
canonical completion, browser-verification scope, control-plane audit,
all 62 shipped-document mirrors and the 211-file public-document check
pass. Core runtime and Go manifests are byte-identical to the reviewed
Core candidate; release-control source/policy is byte-identical to the
reviewed Delivery candidate; frontend runtime and graph are
byte-identical to current upstream. Sufficient heavy/browser evidence
was therefore not replayed.
Core used Go 1.26.7 rather than declared 1.26.8, with an explicit
backend embed fixture and a separately proved frontend build. Required
exact-head CI remains necessary before landing. This proposal does not
establish installed outcomes, release readiness, successful convergence
or stable delivery, and does not replace or recut the published v6.4.6
candidate.
[How Pulse handles
triage](https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/blob/main/docs/AI_TRANSPARENCY.md)
The mock generator stamped each job's last and next sync once at
startup, with the last sync up to an hour old on a 15-minute schedule.
Most jobs therefore started out overdue, and on a long-running demo
every job read as hours overdue in red while still reporting Healthy.
The demo's Replication tab looked broken to anyone evaluating Pulse.
Replication timing now follows the fixture clock. Each job keeps a
stable phase inside its schedule window, so a healthy job last synced
less than one interval ago and is next due in the future, and a
failing job's last good sync falls behind by its failure count.
The target node was picked by index and could equal the source, which
showed a job replicating pve1 to pve1. The source is no longer a
candidate, and an estate without a second node gets no jobs.
Keep at most 4096 remembered org/agent pairs and use an expiry index instead of repeated full-map scans. Audit unremembered overflow deliveries conservatively, preserving daily suppression for established agents, changed-config/token events and every failed fetch. Cover capacity, expiry, concurrency and the real handler contract.

The first snapshot control also stalled the unrelated app-stat stream. Model its valid empty reply and the proper stream field shapes in the two-connection poller fixture without weakening timeout, session, inventory or recovery assertions. Clarify that initial transport negotiation is bounded separately from each serialized RPC operation; runtime timeout policy is unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Correct synthetic fixture responses and clarify the existing budget description; no runtime or wire behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Apply the configured timeout to serialized JSON-RPC operations, subscriptions and permitted read retries. Let cancelled waiters leave without dispatching or poisoning the active session. Preserve modern transport selection and action no-replay; distinguish caller deadlines from successful bounded log tails.
A required-method timeout must preserve cached host identity and previous success while allowing the next connection and recovery poll to proceed. Optional telemetry remains unavailable without blocking usable inventory. This repairs reproduced source paths, not a verified diagnosis or native resolution of issue #2382.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Handle nullable retry-row diagnostics while checking the actual attempt audit and DLQ error; verify omitted stored API keys through the established redacted response type and preserve authorised endpoint/target round-trips. Retain the original diagnostic repair and its adverse proof.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Suppress raw CLI targets/output, HTTP response bodies and credential-bearing endpoint paths across firing, recovery, tests, queue audits and settings logs. Preserve exact delivery inputs, typed causes and retry classification; retain structured status, counts and safe validation reasons.
Contract-Neutral: Shared agent-lifecycle and storage-recovery references are unchanged; this diagnostic repair alters no agent or storage behaviour, API schema, destination admission or delivery policy.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Finish the connected #2077 outcome: persist an observed TrueNAS host temperature through the existing canonical writer, so local chart coverage cannot suppress the Thermals panel. Extend the pinned REST-to-chart control to cover the write, persistent readback and full local-window fast path; preserve source and absence gates.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Contract-Neutral: Restores existing TrueNAS Thermals history through its canonical writer; no agent lifecycle, schema, route, resource identity or alert-policy delta.
Complete the native CORE #2077 repair after its whole-suite adverse result: retain ARC without inventing free RAM, enforce live-window freshness even with coarse RRD steps, and assert bounded graph splitting including CPU temperature. Keep empty/zero, aligned ARC and transport boundaries intact.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Exercise the unique-device selection ceiling separately from deduplication, and keep the graph-isolation account aligned with catalogue-selected requests. No runtime logic or public contract shape is changed.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use external RRD timing, native legends, scoped device graphs and measured CPU temperature for issue #2077. Keep absent, empty and zero buckets distinct, normalize CORE CPU states and preserve ARC alignment, safe transport failures and canonical projection. Add native-shape and end-to-end monitoring controls without changing release selection.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Contract-Neutral: Restores existing canonical metrics and temperature behaviour for CORE input formats; no public schema, route, resource identity or alert-policy delta.
Keep continuous and late replay held without spending a provider attempt. Split mixed batches atomically so eligible alerts retain admitted destinations, occurrence links and retry budgets, and bind saved monitor policy before activating persisted work. Add local receipt, cancellation, rollback, reconstruction and race regression coverage with the owning contracts and verification routes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Keep the new clock/dispatch proof aligned with the unchanged quiet_hours:non-critical diagnosis contract; no production or schedule policy changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Compare scheduled civil minutes on each selected day so repeated or missing DST minutes cannot shift suppression. Calculate non-full-day replay from real clock boundaries and keep location fallback read-only for concurrent policy consumers. Retain category controls and the existing full-day replay boundary; pin the civil-time contract and dedicated regression proof.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Retain configured RAID members separately from source-native totals through collection, reports and canonical read views. Correct the healthy legacy mdadm tuple from #2369 without subtracting spares from mdstat requirements or suppressing real deficits, failures and recovery warnings. Preserve observed zero-active counts through fallback, and verify collector, wire, ingestion, health and canonical activation/resolution boundaries.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Register the initial real dispatch callback before creating the occurrence, so retained LastNotified is an observed delivery identity rather than an unset fixture field.
Contract-Neutral: Test fixture correction only; establishes the initial delivery callback without changing runtime behaviour or the alert contract.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
A restored image-update incident must not wait another whole delay before positive reports refresh it. Recover pending age from the same resource's active occurrence, retaining acknowledgement and delivery identity while preserving explicit recovery and a new update's normal delay. Exercise both checkpoint authorities, both cleanup paths, cached and unknown evidence, 24/48-hour delays and isolated hosts through the public checker.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Adapt PR2351 to current main without losing bounded probe deadlines, retries, explicit binds or confidentiality. Inspect IPv6 wildcard socket mode so unrelated servers sharing the port cannot determine Pulse health. Apply the telemetry callback only after a persisted explicit boolean transition, including stale-disk and null-input boundaries.
Retain real HTTP/HTTPS wildcard and same-port isolation regressions, callback persistence-order tests, and the owning subsystem contracts. No dependency manifests, frontend source or telemetry payload schema change. Exact runtime proof remains dependent on the unavailable root graph; it is not represented as passed.

The residual whole-broadcast profile attributes about 80 percent of synthetic allocation to connected-infrastructure grouping. Request only its unchanged 0.90 identity floor, and discard equal or worse-priority fallback peers before allocating and sorting them. Keep general matching and all group identity, ambiguity, explanation and review semantics against independent pre-repair oracles. Update the obsolete broadcast-wrapper source assertion to the prepared single-pass path.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The first exact candidate proof compiled and passed frontend snapshot tests, but rejected two monitoring fixture fields that only exist on frontend projections. Use the canonical resource name and tags to test the same sort/freshness boundaries. Preserve that failed aggregate result; no production code or expectation is relaxed.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
List the continuity-aware registry once, decorate one owned host projection, and sort final frontend rows rather than a second estate-sized conversion array. Encode concrete frontend resources directly into immutable snapshot buffers, decoding every authoritative ID from those bytes; leave generic marshalers and all other fields on the existing path. Keep live freshness, alert and lifecycle semantics without a cache.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Pin a reproducible 1000-resource completed-ingest fixture with zero, one and four viewers before changing projection or encoding. Measure real monitor registry reads, projection, snapshot, per-client delta and queues, excluding persistence, timers and network transport.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The executable overflow regression and a bounded Bash PTY probe show canonical terminals truncate long input before the size check. Read a bounded character count with echo held off, drain an invalid line before returning to the calling shell, and restore its modes on every exit. Pin maximum-size preservation, overflow history safety and terminal restoration.
Contract-Neutral: Repair bounded private terminal entry, overflow draining and mode restoration; no issuance, scope, install transport or response-shape delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The exact-source validation found that the safety warning names the forbidden curl option. Scope the negative checks to fenced shell examples, while retaining certificate, private-token and canonical-installer assertions.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation regression assertions only; no installer, API or runtime contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Reuse the complete-download and preflight private-token entry boundary for both monitoring modes. Keep issued credentials separate and no-store, use the installer-owned token path in the diagnostic service reference, and reject structural unit injection before minting. Add executable root/sudo, history, transport, failure cleanup and systemd grammar regressions alongside the subsystem contracts.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The exact source proof exposed a guard incorrectly rejecting prose that forbids insecure TLS flags and a stale control-plane target assertion after the reviewed release-reliability documentation update. Check executable shell fences for unsafe forms, and require the current target in its documentation. Disposable proof lacks sibling repository evidence for two full-suite status checks; that context is retained, not treated as a pass.
Contract-Neutral: Regression-test reconciliation only; accepted product and governance source remains unchanged.
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
Initialise the real persistent auth stores for the guide lifecycle and prove user removal revokes its session and CSRF token. Clarify that an empty role list clears built-in assignments too; no runtime authority changes.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and test-fixture correction only; session revocation, role assignment and authorization runtime contracts are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use the accepted organisation ID alphabet and canonical resource types, and expect the documented role assignments to return 204. Keep the guide lifecycle checks at the existing API contract.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and test expectations only; API methods, validation, authentication and tenant isolation are unchanged.
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
The full API race run timed out while cloning the entire mock estate and rebuilding every persona for each chart series. Cache one immutable sampler against the canonical graph data version under its publication lock. Preserve values, current revisions, disabled-mode fallback and isolation from private/global persona updates. Pin zero-allocation warm acquisition, reference equivalence and concurrent snapshot binding; compare both paths with the same thousand-VM sample.
Contract-Neutral: Avoid repeated canonical graph cloning and persona reconstruction without changing metric formulas, identity, graph freshness, retention, endpoints or permissions.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Require the exact shared artifact command, stdin PVE authorization and correctly delimited normalized URL instead of legacy pipe/header forms or an over-broad path substring. These corrections retain installer, ACL and transport assertions; no runtime change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Retain configured-origin and proxy-spoofing coverage while requiring separate credentials, identical tokenless script URLs and private-input renderers. This aligns remaining routed setup assertions with the credential-safe response; no runtime change.
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
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
The complete race run observed a successful PBS recovery webhook after the functional test watchdog expired. Match the existing notification recovery contract watchdog: two autonomous five-second polls plus callback scheduling, while still requiring the actual HTTP payload and incident identity. No production queue, delivery policy or performance assertion changes.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only functional receipt watchdog for the existing autonomous notification queue; production delivery and API unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Drive each modeled response through a due deadline instead of zeroing it, which legitimately reconstructs the existing future cadence. The production scheduling policy is unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only due-deadline setup for the telemetry pipeline; production polling and API unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Match the client's existing self-signed pin contract while retaining VerifyConnection. The full TrueNAS suite includes the pin mismatch refusal control; production transport remains unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only trust configuration for a pinned synthetic TLS endpoint; production transport and API unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Exercise the existing authenticated transport without a plaintext fixture or a verification bypass. Production telemetry and transport behavior are unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only pinned-TLS fixture for the existing telemetry contract; production transport and API unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Carry per-metric presence through REST and realtime snapshots, canonical host rows and shared History writes. Do not interpret arbitrary numeric object fields as reporting values. Preserve bounded telemetry failure diagnostics without blocking inventory or exposing provider text.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The complete alerts race suite failed the existing 750 ms filesystem-poll deadline. Use Go virtual time with the real periodic worker and configured interval instead of widening the deadline or rerunning unchanged source. Assert no pre-tick write, exact first- and second-tick history content before shutdown, and drain the worker for cleanup. Runtime saving and production intervals are unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Use virtual time to strengthen the periodic-history persistence test; no runtime or contract delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The hourly sweep pruned canonical acknowledgement records after 24 hours even while their incidents remained active. Preserve active tracking identities as the ordinary cleanup already does, so a short recovery and recurrence retain the operator decision. Keep inactive expiry, legacy timestamp fallback and explicit unacknowledgement unchanged. Validate manual and automatic acknowledgements through provider-native pool incident reconciliation, JSON and durable checkpoint restart, dispatch counters and retention bounds; update the alert contract in the same commit.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Age-based housekeeping deleted continuing conditions when automatic acknowledgement was disabled. Require last-observation inactivity as well as occurrence age, retain legacy timestamp fallback and inactive cleanup, and document the unchanged acknowledgement/recovery boundaries. Regression exercises cached, absent and failed Docker registry reports, callback/history identity and actual checkpoint restart.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Coalesce full active-alert snapshots into one worker and one requested follow-up instead of queueing a goroutine per mutation. Preserve immediate lifecycle durability, fresh snapshots, failure recovery and the final shutdown save; reproduce the old burst amplification and validate the new admission and persistence boundaries.
