Every commit touching user-visible frontend source rewrote the single
frontend-modern/browser-verification.json, so any two open frontend pull
requests conflicted as soon as either merged. A merge could not repair
the loser: concluding it staged main's frontend files as if the author
had changed them, and the guard then demanded a receipt for files the
author never ran. The only honest recovery was a rebuild on the new main
and a fresh browser pass, as #2415 -> #2418 -> #2433 showed on 2-3
October.
Each commit now adds its own receipt under
frontend-modern/browser-verification/, named by the fingerprint of the
content it verified. Receipts are only ever added, so git merges them
unaided. The guard keeps every binding it had: the commit's own parent,
the exact changed paths and their content digests, a desktop and a
narrow viewport, non-empty routes, states and interactions, and the
range check that each changed file's final content matches a receipt
from a non-merge commit in the range.
Concluding a merge no longer counts content a merged parent already
carries as the commit's own change. Merged content that neither parent
holds is flagged and still needs a follow-up receipt in range mode, and
a merge commit may not record one.
The shared file is retired: no commit may write it again. A commit that
modified it while its own parent still carried it stays valid evidence
in range mode, so a pull request that still rewrites it is repaired by
merging main and taking main's copy rather than by a rebuild. The file
is deleted in a change of its own, because deleting it here would
conflict with every pull request that still rewrites it.
--write-template writes the skeleton at the path the staged content
requires. --prune deletes receipts already on main. A change that
records a receipt may not delete one: git pairs the two as a rename,
which conflicts with any other change deleting the same receipt.
Preserve existing polling evidence before a connection test updates its ledger. Explain freshness, optional telemetry and session turnover using the read-only projection, correct the 60-second default, and keep diagnostic steps free of credentials and destructive reproductions.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and existing-guide checks only; no runtime, API, transport, identity, access or retention change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The existing drawer fetches all metrics without a metric query field. Explain metrics-object and single-metric points responses so readers do not wait for an absent CPU request or mistake missing CPU and measured zero for the same result.
Contract-Neutral: Clarify existing History diagnostics and protect mirrored documentation; no runtime, API, identity, access, retention or response-shape change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Convergence used main's unmapped fallback and rejected the immutable 6.4.6-rc.1 source. Retain its exact-version release/v6.4 policy for artifact convergence and promotion without mapping future patches or accepting unrelated source.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Governance run 37016171545 rejected the original malformed timestamp even though a later reviewed receipt corrected it for identical runtime bytes. Use the existing fail-closed integration-range guard in CI while retaining per-commit canonical checks. Exercise the workflow shell with valid additive correction and invalid missing-base or unverified-content fixtures.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Exact closure validation also identified eleven uncovered package roots pulled into the install-test binary. Bind their Go/template inputs without changing runtime or relaxing the attestation assertions.
Contract-Neutral: Additive source-manifest coverage only; no runtime or subsystem contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Include the four current install-test inputs omitted from the rootful source manifest and report exact missing paths on future drift. Product and qualification assertions are unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Additive qualification source closure and diagnostic-only assertion message; no runtime or subsystem contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
First step of the release simplification plan. create-release.yml loses
candidate_qualification and release_readiness, which only restated other
jobs' results. Their exact predicates move into publish_release_tag,
publish_docker, publish_helm_chart, activate_release and
release_commit_verdict, with cancellation unchanged.
recover-release-activation accepts both run shapes, so v6.4.6 and older
runs recover exactly as before. Failure-only diagnostics and the chart
artifact nobody downloads keep 3 days instead of 14 or 90. Only lines
cut from main after this land use it (release/v6.6 from 7 Oct). Reviewed
with gpt-6.1-sol, SAFE TO MERGE; predicate equivalence sampled over
2,784 cases.
Preserve every accepted commit while incorporating the published setup-node advisory-cache repair. Upstream changes a separate workflow; retain the proved runtime and documentation candidate bytes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The scheduled watch reads each release line's lockfile in the default
branch's cache scope, so it deliberately writes no dependency cache.
It sets no cache input, but the pinned setup-node enables npm caching
on its own once package.json names npm as its packageManager. Nothing
declares that today; adding it later would silently reopen a
default-branch cache write here. Set package-manager-cache: false, as
five release workflows already do, assert it in the workflow test, and
say how the contract's no-dependency-cache promise is kept.
A skipped profile could reuse an earlier installer receipt and falsely pass the guide's regression check. Clear each recipe's receipt, require its own invocation, and exercise successful no-op and nonzero controls without changing the existing ten-second bound. Apply the same isolation to retarget and cleanup recipes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Chain signed installer downloads, verification and execution in the English, German and Spanish landing pages so a failed trust step cannot run stale or unverified bytes. Keep the pinned signer, namespace and release URLs, preserve real installer exits, and correct the existing plan and paired-app retirement guidance. Exercise the copyable Bash gate with offline command stubs and run those documentation regressions in Public docs CI.
Contract-Neutral: Public documentation and its secret-free CI validation only; no runtime, entitlement, release-selection or subsystem contract delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Completed PR #2379 governance run 36949586647 reached a later subsystem lookup assertion that also omitted the reviewed startup test. Preserve registry coverage and update the remaining stale expectation additively; no runtime or permission change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The first correction exposed the later monitoring-specific assertion in the same test. Align that exact list too, without changing policy or coverage. All 132 governance fixture tests now pass under the confined native-Git fixture executor.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
PR #2379 governance run 36940673378 failed two exact verification-file assertions after the reviewed startup test was added to the registry. Retain the declared coverage and update both fixture expectations; runtime and accepted commit identities remain unchanged.

Use the existing delivery activity and failure classes before collecting raw logs. Keep both Docker streams and log-reader exits visible, warn about provider echoes and duplicate retries, and distinguish test success from real alert delivery. Exercise the copied bounded recipes and their unsafe predecessor with synthetic readers.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
The LXC discovery report reached command-capable credentials but could not distinguish them from live command-channel admission. Explain the blocked state, keep successful guest checks, and provide a bounded local journal check without credential resets, broader permissions or full-log disclosure. Bind the guidance and command syntax to the existing service events.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
candidate_qualification and release_readiness only restated other jobs'
results. publish_release_tag, publish_docker, publish_helm_chart and
activate_release now each carry the exact candidate predicate in their own
needs and if, guarded by !cancelled() with the same allowed integration
skip, and activation joins the tag and both registry publications directly.
The commit verdict restates every candidate result in place of the
readiness join.
recover-release-activation.yml accepts both shapes. A source run that has
release_readiness still has to prove only that join, as before. A run
without it has to prove publish_release_tag and at least one, and only
successful, jobs under the publish_docker and publish_helm_chart caller IDs.
Failure diagnostics and the inspection-only Helm chart artifact, which
nothing downloads, are kept for three days instead of 14 and 90.
The CORE reporter could find requests but not the matching replies. Clarify Firefox message filtering, per-request IDs, CPU versus temperature and bounded response sharing in the canonical and shipped guide; keep secrets and full captures out of diagnostics. Add guidance regression coverage while preserving the existing authenticated connection recipes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Distinguish failed verification from a tampering diagnosis, unsigned history, query errors and runtime gates. Remove live-key replacement and regeneration advice, correct default store paths, and preserve matching keys and history for isolated recovery. Bind the shipped guides to regression checks and exercise recovery distinctions with the real signer and encryption manager on synthetic temporary data.
Contract-Neutral: Audit documentation and synthetic regression controls only; no signing, storage, entitlement, API or frontend runtime behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Search the literal response request ID across JSON and console output, limit log collection, retain reader failures and distinguish missing logs from HTTP success. Explain safe browser evidence and default-level coverage without asking users to repeat a state-changing request. Execute the copied journal and Docker commands against bounded synthetic readers, including stderr, failures, no match and a console-only negative control.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and executable recipe checks for existing request logging only; no API, authentication, runtime, schema or frontend behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Failed setup now yields local-only, topology-free diagnostics. Require recognised Running state and successful tailnet ping before TCP, retain probe exits without raw private output or fallback probes, and exercise twenty synthetic readiness/privacy cases. Parent controls expose false success and private output on both channels. Keep workflow identities, secrets, action pins, mutation gates and release scope unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace the login-user Docker-group shortcut with actual service-account and collector-profile guidance. Add a one-shot LXC socket/daemon diagnostic that keeps failures visible without collecting container identity or credentials, with executable bounded fixtures.
Contract-Neutral: Existing documentation and diagnostic tests only; collector access, runtime commands, opt-in gates and entitlements are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Current PR2368 fails four native installer jobs and the backend shard because the old assertion still requires the unused v6 API_TOKENS server Secret. Preserve all Helm SCC, read-only RBAC and socket controls, and require server bootstrap before scoped private-file agent provisioning with eleven unsafe or incomplete flow negative controls.
Contract-Neutral: Test-only repair for the reviewed Kubernetes guidance; no runtime, chart, permission, installation or frontend contract change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Replace token arguments, an ignored API_TOKENS bootstrap and plaintext DaemonSet credentials with scoped UI-created tokens, private files and a pre-created Secret. Route hosted installation to the existing private-file flow and retain HTTP errors and encoded resource identities in metrics queries. Exercise copied recipes, failure stops and actual curl requests with synthetic credentials.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation-only private-file setup and metrics access guidance; no runtime, API, entitlement or deployment contract delta.

On 30 Sep and 1 Oct two new advisories (brace-expansion
GHSA-q2hr-2g5m-vwhr, DOMPurify GHSA-p98j-92pf-mc4p) failed the required
frontend audit on every PR across main, release/v6.4 and release/v6.5,
holding the v6.5 RC for days and blocking the v6.4.6 preparation. The
existing scheduled npm-audit is informational and only sees main. This
adds a daily workflow that runs the same complete frontend audit as
Build and Test on main and every active release line, fails on any
finding, and names the branch, advisories and fix. The maintainer's
release-path health check raises it to Delivery immediately.
An update, rollback or reinstall must not silently enable unattended updates. Share the existing-install opt-in prompt and retain affirmative CLI and interactive choices without changing helper refresh or fresh-install defaults.
Exercise all five existing main flows and add bounded configuration/timer intent observations to the signed published lifecycle rehearsal, including changed and unavailable negative controls.

On 30 Sep-1 Oct 2026 GHSA-q2hr-2g5m-vwhr (brace-expansion) and
GHSA-p98j-92pf-mc4p (DOMPurify) failed the required "Audit complete
frontend dependency graph" step on every pull request to main,
release/v6.4 and release/v6.5. That held the v6.4.6 preparation PR and
the v6.5 RC for days with no owner. The scheduled audit in
security-scan.yml only informs and runs on the default branch, so
release lines were never checked.
dependency-advisory-watch.yml runs daily and on dispatch. It lists main
plus every release/v<major>.<minor> line at or newer than the latest
stable's line (all lines if that lookup fails), then audits each in a
fail-fast-free matrix. Each job fetches only that line's
frontend-modern/package.json and package-lock.json with git and runs
scripts/npm-audit-retry.sh all on them under the same Node.js pin that
build-and-test requires. npm audit reads the lockfile, so nothing is
installed. The job never checks out or runs the audited branch's code,
because a scheduled run holds the default branch's cache scope and
CodeQL flagged running npm ci there as cache poisoning.
A job fails when the audit fails, and its step summary and annotation
name the branch, the GHSA ids and the fix (npm audit fix
--package-lock-only plus raised floors in dependencySecurity.test.ts).
Read-only, hosted-only, no secrets, no uploads.
Accept the exact Product intelligence candidate with private-file API recipes, accurate export and recovery guidance, scoped key revocation and retirement wording. Preserve existing authentication and entitlement authority; retained focused source and browser evidence covers the unchanged documentation content.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use private header and passphrase files for copied API requests, check protected access instead of public health, and preserve actual transfer and lockout permissions. Replace unsafe legacy credential setup and key cleanup, explain deployment-specific recovery, and align existing mobile security guidance with retirement.
Contract-Neutral: Existing security guidance, shipped mirrors and executable documentation fixtures only; authentication, encryption, scopes, entitlements and runtime behaviour are unchanged.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Preserve the complete reviewed maintenance tip and published upstream source unchanged. Combine their installability contract and subsystem registry entries without changing runtime behaviour.

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
Install a published release (latest stable by default) with its signed
install.sh, seed auth, a webhook and a PVE node through the API, upgrade with
the installed /bin/update --version helper, then roll back with the documented
/bin/update --version command. Each step checks /api/version and the binary
version, /api/health, unit state, the seeded settings against fixed
expectations and the pre-upgrade read-back, and data-dir survival, then
reports a phase table in the step summary.
The workflow is read-only, hosted-only, uploads nothing and no release job
depends on it.
CodeQL on PRs 2361 and 2362 flags the fixture's implicit protocol floor. Require TLS 1.2 explicitly and test that same context; retain trusted, untrusted and wrong-host certificate controls without changing product TLS or documentation.
Contract-Neutral: Synthetic TLS test fixture only; no runtime or subsystem contract delta.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Merge Core candidate cf12c37e63 unchanged onto 22380a3546. Resolve only the shared browser receipt to the candidate receipt; changed frontend source exactly matches its non-merge proof-bearing commit. Preserve newer safe API recipes and sparse History source.
Retained focused configapi, hostagent, mock, monitoring and installtests race suites, affected API cases, frontend suite and type-check, builds and PVE/PBS desktop and phone-emulated browser checks cover the changed behaviour. Broad API timeout and output-limit attempts remain unresolved, not passes. No installed recovery, release qualification, publication or deployment is claimed.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Preserve exact Delivery candidate 90c80acb49, including bounded grouped notes, operator safety checks and complete qualification source closure. No product or published release changes.
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
Remove only the extra trailing blank line that rejected the candidate's base-to-head diff. The release prose, validation behaviour and published notes are unchanged.
Contract-Neutral: Fixture whitespace only; no release-note validation, qualification policy or product behaviour changes.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Exact-source validation found two unbound compiled packages after composing the retained notes repair with current main. Include both in the source manifest and report the whole dependency closure without weakening the check.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Use the existing HTTP routes with private header files, JSON on stdin and curl defaults disabled. Separate plan, decision and execution, explain their real permissions and retain uncertain-execution safety. Extend the executable guide tests to cover all seven recipes, both header formats, auth failures and trace-enabled local curl settings.
Contract-Neutral: API routes, authentication, scopes, action authority and runtime execution are unchanged; only existing guidance and its executable documentation checks change.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Compose the exact earlier source repair on the current reviewed base for final validation. No published release or source routing is changed.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Bind the new compiled notes helper and authored fixture in the rootful source manifest. Repair the visual rollback fixture's missing version and align the internal control-plane page with the active release-reliability target, without changing source routing or published packets.
