rcourtman 2d5ea5758b Name sensor setup notice nodes the way the nodes table does (#2727)
The outdated sensor setup notice on the Proxmox page named each node by
its Proxmox node name, while the nodes table directly below it, the
outdated agent notice beside it and Infrastructure settings label the
same node by its display name. With display names set, the notice read
"pve3 is using an older temperature monitoring setup..." above a table
with no row called pve3.

The notice now leads with the label the nodes table shows for the row
and adds the Proxmox node name in parentheses:

> West Production C (pve3) is using an older temperature monitoring
setup that cannot read SATA/SAS disk temperatures.

Both names are needed. The user has to match the notice to a table row,
and the nodes table switches to the Proxmox node name in its narrowest
layout (it showed `pve1`, `pve3` at a 375px viewport and display names
at 414px and up). They also have to find the host to re-run the setup
script on, which is the Proxmox node. Nodes without a display name read
as before ("pve3 is using ...").

The node name is left out only when the label already contains it as a
whole word, ignoring ASCII case, or as a domain's host part (`PVE1`,
`pve3.lan`, `Rack 4 (pve3)`). This is deliberately stricter than
`hasAlternateDisplayName`, which the guest table's group header uses.
That helper normalises punctuation, so it would show `PVE3` alone for
node `pve-3` and hide the host the user has to act on.

The notice's own test file is also registered as proof for the
frontend-primitives policy that covers the notice, matching the sibling
agent notice's test.

Verification:
- Unit tests cover the renamed case, labels that already contain the
node name, labels that only resemble it (`PVE3`/`pve-3`, `pve5-backup`,
`pve10`/`pve1`, a non-ASCII lookalike), blank names and
`nodeName`-before-`node` precedence. The platformPage, SharedPrimitives
guardrail, resource-boundary, nodes and Proxmox page contract suites
pass (396 tests), and eslint, prettier and tsc are clean.
- Browser pass on a private mock stack with three legacy-format nodes,
at 1440, 768, 414 and 375 wide on Overview and Storage. The notice reads
"Affected: Automation Lab Standalone (standalone2), West Production A
(pve1), West Production C (pve3)." with no overflow and no console
errors. Before control with main's two source files: "Affected: pve1,
pve3, standalone2."

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.
