rcourtman 2dca000416 Author per-command-class preflight context for approval review
Operators about to approve a Pulse-driven action need to know what the
command actually touches before saying yes. Until now the preflight
shown at approval time was the same generic boilerplate for every
action: "approval is scoped, hash must match, etc." — useful safety
posture but no operational specifics. The dry-run summary said the
same thing for 99% of actions.

Adds classifyApprovalCommand and approvalCommandClassPreflightAdditions
in tools_control.go that bucket common Pulse remediation actions and
return hand-authored safety + verification additions per class:
- service-restart  (systemctl restart, service restart)
- service-stop     (systemctl stop, service stop)
- service-start    (systemctl start, service start)
- service-reload   (systemctl reload)
- container-restart (docker / podman restart)
- container-stop   (docker / podman stop)
- k8s-rollout-restart (kubectl rollout restart)

The additions name concrete operational facts the operator needs:
- For service-restart: "Service will be briefly unavailable; no other
  unit dependencies altered" plus verification "Read back
  systemctl is-active <unit>" and "tail journal for crash patterns".
- For container-restart: "Container will be briefly unavailable;
  image and volume mounts unchanged" plus "Read back via docker
  inspect" verification.
- For k8s-rollout-restart: "Pods rolled in waves per deployment
  strategy; PodDisruptionBudget continues to apply" plus "watch
  kubectl rollout status" verification.

approvalPreflight now appends class-specific safety and verification
content onto the existing default content rather than replacing it,
so the broker's structural safety posture (org scope, hash match,
single-use approval) remains visible alongside the operational copy.

Unknown command classes return nil/nil — no fabricated padding for
commands the bucket does not recognize. The default preflight stands
on its own, matching the no-fabrication rule that runs through the
rest of the trust-record arc.

Tests cover: each known class returns non-empty additions with the
expected operational tokens; unknown commands return nil; the
end-to-end approvalPreflight merge surfaces both default and
class-specific safety/verification entries. ai-runtime contract
pinned with the per-class enrichment rule and the no-fabrication
boundary for unknown classes.

📚 Pulse Documentation

Welcome to the Pulse documentation portal. Here you'll find everything you need to install, configure, and master Pulse.


v6 Execution Canonical Source

For Pulse v6 build/release execution work, do not start from this broad docs index. Use:

  1. docs/release-control/v6/internal/SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md for stable human governance and locked decisions
  2. docs/release-control/v6/internal/status.json for live lane state, lane-to-subsystem ownership, structured evidence references, typed lane/subsystem decision records, and canonical ordered lists
  3. docs/release-control/v6/status.schema.json for the machine-readable status contract
  4. docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.json and docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.schema.json for subsystem ownership, explicit shared-ownership exceptions, and proof-routing rules
  5. python3 scripts/release_control/status_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived evidence health audit
  6. python3 scripts/release_control/registry_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem registry audit
  7. python3 scripts/release_control/contract_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem contract audit, including explicit cross-subsystem dependency checks and exact registry-derived shared-boundary wording Local pre-commit runs the v6 machine audits against staged control-file content so partial staging cannot hide governance drift. Local pre-commit also blocks partial staging for hook-sensitive governance files under docs/release-control/v6/, scripts/release_control/, internal/repoctl/, .husky/pre-commit, and .github/workflows/canonical-governance.yml, because those checks still execute or structurally read the working-tree versions locally.
  8. python3 scripts/release_control/subsystem_lookup.py <path> [<path> ...] --pretty --lean if you need subsystem ownership, proof routing, exact contract-focus lines, and compact lane context for a change

For governed runtime changes, a staged subsystem contract only counts if its diff updates a substantive contract section such as Purpose, Canonical Files, Shared Boundaries, Extension Points, Forbidden Paths, Completion Obligations, or Current State, rather than metadata alone.

All other documents are supporting references unless explicitly required for evidence.
