- bump release, Docker, and Helm metadata to 6.0.1
- add committed v6.0.1 patch release notes and changelog
- allow stable patch hotfix releases without a fabricated same-version prerelease tag
Stages the doc-only subset of rc.6 packet prep work on top of
df7934936. Holds VERSION bump and the registry/contract governance
reconciliation back for a focused later pass since the IA revert
created broader subsystem-contract debt than the packet prep can
absorb.
- docs/releases/V6_RC6_OPERATOR_SUPPORT_PACK_DRAFT.md: new 300-line
operator support brief mirroring the rc.5 pack with rc.6 themes:
pre-release for testing framing, platform-shaped frontend revert
explanation, vSphere as a first-class platform, Machines surface,
TrueNAS native detail UX, FilterBar adoption, Patrol capacity-
forecast and PDM bridge, free-first self-hosted posture, install.sh
smoke gate. Carries the rc.5 free-first paid-continuity wording
through unchanged so the operator-support-pack policy test holds.
- docs/releases/RELEASE_NOTES_v6_RC6_DRAFT.md,
docs/releases/V6_CHANGELOG_RC6_DRAFT.md: fill in the SHA audit
numbers (v6.0.0-rc.5..df7934936, 616 commits, 1379 files / 139185
insertions / 67870 deletions). Add the licensing-continuity
paragraph carrying the rc.5 Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff
copy through unchanged so the discovered-packet policy test holds.
- docs/RELEASE_NOTES.md: link the rc.6 draft packet as current, push
rc.5 to historical.
- docs/UPGRADE_v6.md: round out the prerelease packet pointer block
with the rc.6 operator support pack path alongside the release
notes and changelog already pointed at in df7934936.
- docs/releases/V6_PRERELEASE_RUNBOOK.md: add 6.0.0-rc.6 to the
version-examples list and bump the RC_VERSION export shown in the
RC release steps to rc.6.
Out of scope for this commit and intentionally held back until
governance reconciliation can land coherently:
- VERSION bump to 6.0.0-rc.6 (triggers deployment-installability
shape-guard which cascades into registry/contract audits against
72 dead-file references left over from the rc.6 IA revert).
- docs/release-control/v6/internal/status.json,
docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.json, and the
10 subsystem contract .md files that need post-IA-revert cleanup.
- scripts/release_control test fixture refreshes.
- The rc-to-ga-promotion-readiness-blocked record regen (gated on
VERSION bump landing).
Working copies of the held-back files are preserved at
/tmp/rc6-prep-backup-2026-05-27/ with a MANIFEST.md describing each.
Adds IncludeAllDeployments option to show all deployments, not just
problem ones (where replicas don't match desired). This provides parity
with the existing --kube-include-all-pods flag.
- Add IncludeAllDeployments to kubernetesagent.Config
- Add --kube-include-all-deployments flag and PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS env var
- Update collectDeployments to respect the new flag
- Add test for IncludeAllDeployments functionality
- Update UNIFIED_AGENT.md documentation
Addresses feedback from PR #855
Scripts like install.sh and install-sensor-proxy.sh are now attached
as release assets and downloaded from releases/latest/download/ URLs.
This ensures users always get scripts compatible with their installed
version, even while development continues on main.
Changes:
- build-release.sh: copy install scripts to release directory
- create-release.yml: upload scripts as release assets
- Updated all documentation and code references to use release URLs
- Scripts reference each other via release URLs for consistency
