rcourtman 526fa790ae Make drawer charts and attention readable at a glance (#2910)
Stacked on #2909 (its commit is the parent here and lands with either
PR).

A full-resolution visual pass of the guest and node drawers, plus a Sol
review of the same screenshots, found the charts and attention hard to
read:

- **Numeric axes.** History I/O axes read "Max / Avg / 0" with no
magnitude, and "Avg" was the scale midpoint, not a measured average
(demand ledger "Numeric axis labels on history I/O charts", #1720).
Thermals read "Max / Mid / Min". Gridline labels now state the scale
value (e.g. `5.0M/s`, `60°C`) and sit centred on their gridlines.
- **Worth checking up front, one line each.** It was a full card per
section below the charts. It is now a compact list directly under the
alerts line, using the shared detail-row tone.
- **Now vs history.** Trend card headlines say "now", and the range
reads "24h low–high", so the live number is not read as the last point
of the stored line.
- **No text wall.** The two-sentence memory-cache caveat under the
charts (repeated in Details) becomes "may include cache" on the Memory
card; the full note stays once, in Details.
- The missing-readings note is one line, and the Details summary uses
readable text.

Tests: the full frontend suite passes (15,467). New proofs: Worth
checking renders above the trend cards with the shared tone, and the
guardrail pins that the list reuses `detailValueToneClass`. Browser
receipt: full-resolution screenshots of every drawer tab at 1440 and
390px, reviewed.

Follow-ups not in this PR (from the same review): threshold lines on
History charts, a crosshair shared across panels, taller History plots,
a Manage tab layout pass, and status text beside the drawer's status
dot.

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.

Need help with a failure? Read the safe reporting guidance before sharing evidence. A second reproduction or diagnostics export is not required; keep the original evidence if another attempt could interrupt workloads or send duplicate notifications. GitHub reports and attachments are public: review them locally and keep credentials and private details out.

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.
