rcourtman 362ab2f235 Show open alerts in the Machines and Docker host drawers (#2575)
The Machines/Infrastructure drawer and the Docker host drawer built
"Needs attention" from the alerts embedded in each resource. Nothing in
the backend ever filled that list, so every resource carried `alerts:
[]` and both drawers stayed silent while an alert was open (a mock stack
had 0 of 142 resources with embedded alerts while 14 alerts were active;
a real dev Pulse showed `alerts: []` on a host with an open temperature
alert).

**What changes**

- Both drawers read the websocket `activeAlerts` map, the source the
Proxmox node, guest and Mail Gateway drawers already use, through a new
`getAlertsForUnifiedResource` in `frontend-modern/src/utils/alerts.ts`.
It matches the ids the backend writes for a resource (unified id,
canonical primary/superseded ids, Proxmox source id, metrics target)
and, for agent and Docker hosts, `agent:<id>` and `docker:<host source
id>` plus the disk, RAID, container and service alerts nested under
them. Rows show resource and metric like the other drawers, most severe
first.
- The dead embedded path is removed: frontend `ResourceAlert` and the
unused `hasAlerts` filter, the Proxmox summary `alertCount` nothing
rendered, and backend `ResourceFrontend.alerts` / `ResourceAlertInput`
(which also drops `"alerts":[]` from every resource in each broadcast).
- With incident alerts now reaching the infrastructure drawer, a health
reason counts as stated when it is a whole sentence of an alert's text,
so a storage incident alert that joins its summary and impact does not
repeat beside either reason.
- `utils/__tests__/alerts.test.ts` and
`internal/models/converters_additional_test.go` are registered as proof
files for the policies that own `utils/alerts.ts` and the resource
converters.

**Verification**

- Unit tests for the matcher across agent, Proxmox-linked agent, Docker
host, PBS/PMG and pod identity shapes copied from a live `/api/state`;
drawer tests for a host plus a nested disk alert, a Docker host with
nested service alerts, and the incident-sentence dedupe (each fails on
the previous code).
- Private mock stack on this tree at 1440 and 390 px: Apollo-114's
backend-raised memory alert appears in its Machines drawer, a machine
with no alert shows no section, Ops Services 01 lists its three service
alerts, and the vSphere `archive-tier` and `Edge Stateful` drawers show
one row each. Receipt:
`frontend-modern/browser-verification/89dcce7f1458e2ba.json`.

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.
