rcourtman 3a51429a58 fix(licensing): honest installation-limit copy and v6 connectivity disclosure
Docs and frontend half of the licensing-policy client work from the v6
upgrade sweep (license findings 5 and 6); the Go classifier and grant
refresh fix land separately once the shared pre-commit guard unblocks.

A 409 MAX_INSTALLATIONS during v5 key migration rendered as 'another v6
activation handoff is still settling. Retry activation from this
instance.' Retrying can never succeed until a slot is freed server-side,
so that copy stranded users. The notice now says the key is already
active on its maximum number of v6 installations and points at
support@pulserelay.pro to free a slot, via the new
exchange_installation_limit reason and free_installation_slot action.

docs/UPGRADE_v6.md gains a 'Breaking Change: Paid Licensing Requires
Connectivity' section: v5 validated keys fully offline, v6 needs
periodic connectivity to license.pulserelay.pro, with roughly 10 days of
offline tolerance (72 hour grant plus 7 day grace) before paid features
drop to Community, plus air-gap guidance and the migrated-key
installation cap. docs/releases/V6_CHANGELOG.md gains the matching
breaking-change bullet.

Note: the two frontend files also carry two small additive hunks from
the parallel persisted-license-unreadable slice (a copy case and its
test, inert until its Go side lands); they share these files and are
included to avoid splitting them mid-flight.

📚 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 alert-triggered root-cause analysis, safe remediation workflows, 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.
