rcourtman 1c101b024d Replace stored alerts with each payload instead of merging
The websocket store wrote every incoming active alert with
setActiveAlerts(id, alert). Solid's path setter shallow-merges into an
existing object, so a field the server stops sending kept its old value
in the browser. After a backend restart, threshold alerts are restored
without metricStatus until their next evaluation, but an open tab kept
the pre-restart live reading and the node drawer and node table went on
saying "78°C now" for a reading the server no longer reports. An
unacknowledge from another session left ackTime and ackUser behind the
same way, as did a dropped nodeDisplayName or metadata.

Active and recently resolved alerts are now written with reconcile, so
omitted keys are removed on the snapshot, keyed-delta and REST recovery
commits alike. reconcile diffs nested values in place, so an unchanged
alert's live status no longer re-notifies its readers on every frame,
which the shallow merge did by swapping in a fresh object each time.
The pending acknowledgement hold is unchanged: it still skips payloads
that contradict an unconfirmed local acknowledge or unacknowledge.

updateAlert now stores a copy of each local update. Because payloads
reconcile the stored alert in place, a snooze's optimistic record, which
shares nested objects with the record the caller keeps for rollback,
would otherwise have that rollback record rewritten by the next payload.

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.
