#2636 made the alert disk temperature policy the only judge of disk heat, but it resolved that policy by disk type alone. Disk temperature alerts (`CheckHost`) evaluate each SMART disk under the thresholds of the host agent that reports it. An explicit Disk Temp override on that host, or one inherited from its linked node or guest, replaces the per-type trigger, and a host whose alerts are switched off raises nothing. So a host with an 80C Disk Temp override still read **Running Hot** on Physical Disks at the 70C NVMe trigger. Patrol flagged it too, and a host with alerts switched off still read hot. The Alerts thresholds page promises the opposite: "Setting a Disk Temp override on a host above replaces these for all of that host's disks". ## What changes - **Backend policy:** `alerts.Manager.HostDiskTemperatureThreshold(host, diskType)` resolves the policy for a host the way `CheckHost` does, from the same helpers (`resolveHostThresholdsNoLock`, `hostThresholdOverrideNoLock`, `hostDiskTemperatureThresholdNoLock`). A disabled override gives no threshold. `DiskTemperatureThreshold(diskType)` is now its hostless case. - **Patrol and the AI chat context:** `ThresholdProvider.GetDiskTemperatureThreshold(host, diskType)`. Each unified physical disk finds its host by walking its parent to the agent machine, through the pool for Unraid array and cache disks. - **Physical Disks, the disk detail, the pool drawer's linked disks and the guest drawer** pass the reporting machine's override keys to `resolveDiskTemperatureDisplayThresholds`. Keys follow `CheckHost`'s order: agent ID, canonical resource ID, then the merged node or guest. The resolver returns null (uncoloured, never hot) for an override or agent default that switches the host's alerts off. The browser rebuilds `CheckHost`'s key chain from what it loads, so a few identity edge cases can still differ from alerts and Patrol (listed in `storage-recovery.md`): on the Storage page, a disk whose agent an operator manually linked into a VM; an override inherited through agent link hints the API does not publish (an unmerged linked node or guest), or stored under a linked node's own canonical ID; and guest keys in the guest drawer for an agent merged into a guest it is not automatically linked to. Overrides set on the agent's own row, or on the node or guest it is merged with, reach every surface. ## Verification - `TestHostDiskTemperatureThresholdMatchesCheckHostOverrides` checks each case against what `CheckHost` actually fires: no override, host override, host override without Disk Temp, an override under the canonical resource the agent ID resolves to, linked-node and linked-guest overrides, a host override shadowing a node one, a switched-off Disk Temp, and a disabled host, linked node or linked guest. - `TestPatrolJudgesAgentDisksByTheAgentDiskTemperatureOverride` uses a real registry with two agents, one overridden. A mutation that drops the owner lookup fails it. - Frontend tests cover the resolver, the owner walk and key order, DiskList with three hosts, the presentation map, pool-drawer linked disks and the guest drawer. - Private mock stack: three NVMe disks pinned at 72C. Before (main frontend): all three read Running Hot. After: - pve1, with an 80C override, reads Healthy (green). - pve2 still reads Running Hot. - pve3, with alerts off, is uncoloured. - Moving pve2's override onto its linked node ID turns it Healthy. - Checked at 1440 and 375 with no overflow. The receipt is in `frontend-modern/browser-verification/`. - A read-only second-opinion review ran twice. Round 1's findings (frontend key order, guest drawer canonical ID, disabled agent default, doc wording) are fixed in the first commit. Round 2's are the parity cases and the documented browser limits in the second commit.

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

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.
