rcourtman 27b4d98bc0 fix(workloads): stop offering viewers an infrastructure page they cannot open
The "No workload inventory available" empty state told every session to
"Review source credentials, permissions, and collection status in Settings
→ Infrastructure" and rendered a button to /settings/infrastructure. Since
755a88878 gated that nav item on the infrastructureRead capability, a
non-admin viewer cannot open the page — and once inventory source health is
served at monitoring:read, a viewer with a broken source lands on this exact
state and is pointed at a door that is locked for them.

Gate the call to action on the destination's own capability. Reusing
infrastructureRead rather than a second predicate is what keeps the link and
the nav gate from drifting apart. Without it the copy now names the action a
viewer can actually take: contact an administrator.

The signal did not exist outside Settings — infrastructureRead only reached
useSettingsAccess's local fetch, which runs when Settings mounts and so is no
help to a page deciding whether to link there. Publish it from the
/api/security/status resolve that useAppRuntimeState already performs on
mount, alongside the sessionCapabilities sync that hangs off the same call.
No new request is added. Unresolved sessions keep the link, matching how
settingsNavVisibility treats an unresolved capability set, so an admin never
flickers through the restricted copy.

The banner itself, the admin path, and the monitoring:read inventory-sources
call are all unchanged. The surface's inline fallback now defers to the
shared presentation helper instead of duplicating the copy, so the gate
cannot be bypassed by whichever path renders.

Verified on a scratch instance against real proxy-auth sessions: the viewer
(detailLevel authenticated, infrastructureRead false) gets the reworded copy
and no link at 1280x800 and 375x812, while the admin (privileged) is
byte-identical to before. Because the empty state is only reachable by a
viewer once inventory health is served at monitoring:read, the live exercise
ran with that branch's route present.

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.
  • Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
  • 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.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

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.
