rcourtman 06a68dbff3 Warn on inherited npm advisories when the lockfile is unchanged (#2442)
Since 3 October the required Frontend check has failed on every open
pull request, including Go-only ones, because of GHSA-vfj7-8cjw-p6xm
(`braces` <= 3.0.3, high, no patched release). `braces` reaches the
frontend graph only through dev-only `tailwindcss` 3 and `jscpd` 4. `npm
audit --omit=dev` is clean, so the shipped bundle is not affected.

A pull request that leaves `package.json` and `package-lock.json`
untouched has the same dependency graph as its base commit. It can
neither add a finding nor remove one, so failing it blocks every fix
without making anything safer.

## What changes

`scripts/npm-audit-retry.sh` now treats findings the same way it already
treated an unreachable advisory endpoint:

- **The change moves the dependency graph, or edits the runner**
(`NPM_AUDIT_REQUIRE_RESULT=true`): any finding at any severity fails, as
before. A missing answer also fails.
- **The graph is the base commit's** (`NPM_AUDIT_REQUIRE_RESULT=false`):
the run warns instead, still naming every finding. A missing answer also
only warns, as before.
- **Only an explicit `false` relaxes the verdict.** An empty or
unrecognised value stays strict. This also tightens the outage path,
which previously relaxed on any value other than `true`.

The scheduled `npm-audit` scan and the daily dependency advisory watch
keep the strict default. An inherited advisory therefore still fails
once a day until the graph is fixed; `test_dependency_advisory_watch.py`
now proves this. No severity threshold, allowlist or suppression is
added.

## Landing

This change edits the runner, so its own Frontend audit runs in strict
mode and fails on this same advisory. It cannot pass the required
checks, so it lands only by an explicit maintainer merge. That is
intentional: the policy is relaxed by a human decision, never by a
change passing its own check.

Removing `braces` for real means migrating to Tailwind 4 and jscpd
5.4.0; that is tracked separately. Dependency PRs (#2352, #2278) stay
blocked until that lands.

## Verification

- `scripts/tests/test-npm-audit-retry.sh`: 19 cases pass.
- `test_npm_audit_retry.py` and `test_dependency_advisory_watch.py`
pass.
- `TestFrontendDependencySecurityAuditsAreRequired` passes.
- `check_workflow_trust.py` passes.
- The real runner against main's lockfile exits 0 with the warning and
all 7 findings named when `NPM_AUDIT_REQUIRE_RESULT=false`, and exits 1
with `::error::` when it is `true`.

Pulse documentation

Start here for installation, platform setup, security, operations, and Pulse Intelligence. Commands, configuration keys, image names, API fields, and product identifiers remain untranslated in localized guides.

Start here

  • Install Pulse — signed Proxmox/Linux installation, Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and first-run setup.
  • Production deployment and security — least-privilege Proxmox setup, root-agent boundaries, discovery, supply-chain verification, plan limits, scale evidence, and a rollout checklist.
  • Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
  • Releases and update channels: choosing Stable or Preview, beta and RC expectations, and how releases are tested and promoted.
  • Configure Pulse — authentication, notifications, discovery, retention, and system settings.
  • Deployment models — data locations, lifecycle, and differences between supported deployment paths.
  • Troubleshooting and FAQ — common failures, diagnostics, and operator questions.

Platforms and agents

VMware vSphere support is early access. Current builds expose dedicated vSphere inventory and recovery context, but operators should validate the integration against their own vCenter before production use.

Monitoring and operations

Pulse Intelligence

Patrol watch-only analysis is available on Community with a local model or the operator's own provider. Investigation and governed fixes require the relevant Pulse Pro capabilities.

Security, privacy, and access

Plans and managed access

Pulse Cloud is not generally available. Ordinary self-hosted Pulse remains the primary installation path; MSP and Enterprise access are explicit commercial paths rather than defaults in self-hosted setup.

Development and reference

Detailed design notes and dated migration specifications may remain in this directory for maintainers, but they are not operator setup guides unless they are linked from the sections above.
