Stacked on #2700 (which carries #2696 and #2692). Merge order is enforced by the stack: this change must not reach main before #2700's per-filesystem reevaluation (see "Why stacked" below). ## Problem `pulse-relaxed` lifts a guest's CPU, memory and disk triggers to a 95/92/95 floor. Only `CheckGuest` applied it. Config-save reevaluation rebuilt the guest from alert metadata without its tags (`guestSnapshotFromAlert`), so a save judged a relaxed guest's alert by its unrelaxed thresholds: - A relaxed guest with an unset memory threshold alerts at 92 while polling. On save that reads as no threshold, so the save resolved the alert and sent a recovery notification, and the next poll raised it again. - The floor also lifted an Off threshold (trigger 0, or -1 from the editors) like any low trigger, so tagging a guest relaxed turned an Off alert on, with no recovery band (`{95, 0}`). A save then re-judged it Off and resolved it, and the next poll raised it again. ## Change - The relaxed step moves into `effectiveAlertPolicyNoLock`'s guest branch, so `CheckGuest`, config-save reevaluation (including #2700's `resolveGuestAlertThresholdsNoLock`) and posture checks share one resolver. - `guestSnapshotFromAlert` reads the recorded `tags` back, as `[]string` live or `[]interface{}` after a restart, through a new `metadataStringsValue` reader. `storagePolicyAliases` now uses the same reader. - An Off threshold (trigger <= 0) stays Off under `pulse-relaxed`; an unset one still gets the floor, as the existing tests pin. The tag is documented (issue #863) as relaxing thresholds, so it must never make a guest more sensitive than its config. - `metricOptionsWithTags` drops the `tags` key from an open alert once its resource has no tags. Reevaluation now reads that key, so a removed `pulse-relaxed` left behind would judge the alert by the relaxed trigger while polling uses the guest's own, and the alert would flap. Notification tag routing reads the same key, so it also stops routing on removed tags. ## Why stacked A filesystem's own override replaces the relaxed guest disk threshold in `CheckGuest`. On main, reevaluation misses filesystem overrides (fixed by #2700). With this change alone, a save would judge a relaxed guest's filesystem alert by the 95 floor instead of, say, an 85 override, and flap it. `TestConfigSaveKeepsRelaxedGuestFilesystemOverride` fails on main plus this change and passes on this stack. ## Proof New tests in `internal/alerts/alerts_test.go` and `internal/alerts/unified_eval_test.go`. With `go test -overlay` mapping the six runtime files back to #2700's head, these fail: - `TestConfigSaveJudgesRelaxedGuestAlertByRelaxedThresholds` (the save resolved the alert) - `TestPulseRelaxedKeepsOffGuestThresholdOff` (a disk alert was raised with disk Off) - `TestApplyRelaxedGuestThresholds/off_thresholds_stay_off` (Off became `{95, 0}` / `{92, 0}`) - `TestCheckGuestDropsRemovedTagsFromOpenAlerts` (stale tags; with only the metadata assertion relaxed, the save resolves the alert) `go test ./internal/alerts/... ./internal/notifications/` and the monitoring alert tests pass.

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.
