rcourtman 3073a50614 Harden the invocation-descriptor contract before the investigation profile
Four classifier ratchets from review of 67c2534c0:

The classification vocabulary is closed: descriptor validation rejects
any class outside the known workflow kinds and mutation targets (an
empty Mutation no longer registers), and InvocationPolicy.Allows
independently denies unknown mutation targets outright, so a class
that somehow bypassed validation still cannot execute. Descriptor
lookups and registration store deep copies, so callers can never
mutate the canonical table through shared case maps or static class
pointers. Registration rejects descriptor overrides for canonical tool
names; overrides exist only for genuinely non-canonical extension and
test names.

Projected governance now derives its action mode from mutation
targets, not workflow kinds, and recomputes it even when no enum value
was filtered; a projection whose remaining invocations mutate nothing
downgrades to scope-only approval metadata (registered scope-only
summaries are preserved). Docker check_updates reclassifies from
{write,none} to {read,none}: it queues a read-only scan, and the write
kind was driving the FSM into verification and making the read-only
Docker projection report mixed. Discovery consequently projects as
mode=read in governance manifests, which is the honest mutation-derived
mode. The pulse_file_edit governance summary no longer claims to read
files. The contract prose also names pulse_read's execution-intent
classifier as mandatory second-stage enforcement for exec, not merely
defense in depth: the static read/none descriptor cannot prove
arbitrary command text safe.

Proofs: open-vocabulary rejection, unknown-target policy denial,
descriptor copy isolation, canonical-override rejection, and the
read-only Docker read/scope-only projection.

📚 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.

💳 Plans (Community / Relay / Pro / Cloud)

Pulse is available in three self-hosted tiers plus hosted Cloud:

  • Community: Free self-hosted monitoring with core monitoring included and 7-day history.

  • Relay: Adds secure remote access to the Pulse web UI, Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff, push notifications, and 14-day history.

  • Pro: Adds hands-on Patrol modes, issue investigation, governed fixes, verified outcomes, operations tooling, governance features, and 90-day history.

  • Cloud: Hosted Pulse with Pro-level capabilities; hosted pricing is unchanged by the self-hosted model lock.
