The weights from #2324 came from one local run and left the api shards at 4.5, 8.8, 17.1 and 12.5 minutes on CI. Most of the 17.1 was not test time. That shard ran `-run . -skip <1231 names>`, and the test binary caches only its last compiled pattern, so alternating the two recompiled the 62 KB skip regex for every test and subtest (about 50 ms each under -race locally, 30s against 1.3s for 300 trivial tests). Two runs put that shard at 887s and 875s against roughly 450s of tests. The skip path now passes -skip alone. Every api shard now runs go test -json through .github/scripts/record-internal-api-test-seconds.py. It prints what plain go test would (package lines and the output of failing or unfinished tests), exits non-zero on any failure behind pipefail, and writes each top-level test's seconds to an internal-api-test-seconds-N artifact that is uploaded even when the shard fails. .github/scripts/refresh-internal-api-test-seconds.py rebuilds the weights file from those artifacts (gh run download, median across runs, DEFAULT_WEIGHT set to the mean of the unlisted tests, which the selector now reads from the file). Until those artifacts exist, the weights are a local -race -json run with each region of go test's order scaled to what CI reported for it. Equal-count quarters averaged 107, 437, 100 and 787s over four runs, and the weighted cut gave 131s for the first 1187 tests, 350s for the next 23 and 608s for the last 21 over two. The last quarter and the last 21 tests disagree on how the tail splits, so the tail takes the midpoint of an exact fit and a pooled factor. With these weights four shards still predict a slowest shard near 10 minutes, and a 20% slower runner on the tail would take it past the 11 minutes of Frontend and rest-1. Five shards predict about 131, 325, 280-340, 330-355 and 330-365s of tests, or 4.5 to 8.5 minutes a job with about 2.3 minutes of setup, so API_SHARD_COUNT goes to 5. Every test still runs exactly once in contiguous go test order, and all five slices passed locally from their new starting points. The required Backend tests (api) verdict keeps its name.
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
- Proxmox Backup Server
- Proxmox Mail Gateway
- Docker and Podman
- Kubernetes and Helm
- TrueNAS SCALE and CORE
- Unified Agent
- Agent security
- VM disk monitoring
- ZFS monitoring
- Temperature monitoring
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
- Metrics history
- Recovery data
- Webhooks
- Automatic updates
- Centralized agent management (Pro)
- Operational trust model
- Current product screenshots
Pulse Intelligence
- Assistant, Patrol, and external-agent overview
- Patrol modes and safety
- Assistant safety model
- External agent HTTP and MCP substrate
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
- Production deployment and security
- Security review scope
- Authentication and credential storage review packet
- Security guide
- Privacy and telemetry disclosure
- OIDC and SSO
- Proxy authentication
- Role-based access control (Pro)
- Audit logging (Pro)
- Reverse proxy configuration
- Code-signing policy
Plans and managed access
- Community, Relay, and Pro capabilities
- Relay and Pulse Mobile handoff
- Multi-tenant organizations (Enterprise/custom)
- Provider-hosted MSP operations (request-assisted)
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.
Previous versions and migrations
- Upgrade from v4 to v5
- Retired unified-navigation migration — historical context only; current Pulse uses platform-shaped navigation.
- Move a Pulse installation
