rcourtman 55b6e5145e Let a clean full Patrol clear the stale coverage caveat (#2697)
Stacked on #2686 (which is stacked on #2682). It lands after them.

## Problem

Patrol > Activity > Finding options and history > Open work showed
**Check needed: Run Patrol to check everything and refresh open work.**
whenever `overall_health.factors` held any `coverage` factor. After a
clean full run, the backend keeps its `Recent Patrol errors` coverage
factor if an earlier run in its 24-hour window errored
(`summarizeRecentPatrolCoverage`). It drops the factor only when three
clean full runs lead that window or the errored runs age out. At the
default 6-hour interval that left about 12 hours of "Check needed" after
a clean check of every resource, while the header read `Last check: 4m
ago · checked 1377 resources`. One press of Check now did not clear it.
At impact 20 or 30 the factor lowers the grade to B or C, so the same
stale signal showed **Patrol needs review** instead.

## Change

- `getPatrolFindingsEmptyState` reads run history first, through the new
`getPatrolRunCoverage`:
- **complete**: the latest completed full run ended cleanly, checked
resources, finished within the last 24 hours (the backend's window), and
no run after it failed. A coverage factor no longer withholds the
all-clear, and a grade lowered only by coverage factors no longer counts
as degraded health.
- **incomplete**: the latest full run, or a run after it, ended with
errors, or only targeted or follow-up runs have completed. Shows "Check
needed". A failed targeted run after the last clean full run is new
here: it used to read green whenever the backend had dropped its factor.
- **unproven**: no completed run, or a clean full run that checked
nothing or finished more than 24 hours ago. The coverage factor decides,
as before.
- `getPatrolVerificationPresentation` was read only for its warning
tone. `getPatrolRunCoverage` replaces it. The activity-mix label had no
reader, so it goes, along with `getPatrolActivityBreakdown` /
`formatPatrolActivityBreakdown`, whose only caller it was.
- The backend factor and its three-run rule (documented in ai-runtime)
are unchanged.
- patrol-intelligence, api-contracts and frontend-primitives now
describe the reconciliation.

## Verification

- Vitest over `src/utils src/features src/components/AI
src/components/patrol src/components/shared src/pages src/hooks
src/__tests__`: all pass except `agentInstallCommand.test.ts`, which
fails on the Mac regardless of this change, and one `DockerHostsTable`
case that timed out under load and passes on its own. The new
empty-state cases fail against the parent tree.
- Browser: embedded builds of the parent (#2686) and this tree on
private DEMO_MODE stacks, with run history and overall health stubbed,
at desktop 1440x1000 and phone 390x844. Eleven scenarios per width,
including Check now while the factor is present. Results are in the
receipt.

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.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

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.
