rcourtman 818221b457 Translate Pulse SSE events into MCP notifications when opted in
Closes the documented limitation in slice 51's pulse-mcp: MCP
clients that process server-initiated notifications can now
react to Pulse's push channel without holding a separate HTTP
connection to /api/agent/events.

The bridge is opt-in via --emit-notifications because not every
MCP client surfaces arbitrary notifications/* methods (Claude
Desktop, today, does not). Autonomous agents that consume the
JSON-RPC stream programmatically benefit; UI-mediated clients
should keep the flag off and use the SSE stream directly.

Implementation: a long-lived goroutine, started once after the
first initialize, that opens /api/agent/events, parses the
substrate's wire format, and emits a JSON-RPC notification
per non-transport event. Method names mirror the SSE event
kinds (notifications/finding.created, notifications/approval.
pending, notifications/action.completed). Params is the SSE data
payload verbatim so agents see the same wire shape an HTTP SSE
consumer would. stream.connected and heartbeat are filtered as
transport plumbing. The consumer reconnects with capped
exponential backoff on transient errors.

When --emit-notifications is on, initialize advertises the
supported event kinds under
capabilities.experimental.pulseNotifications.kinds. Clients that
don't understand the experimental block ignore it silently.

Three tests pin the behaviour: the initialize handshake's
capability block is correctly gated on the flag; the notification
filter rejects transport events and accepts the three substrate
kinds; an httptest.NewServer-backed end-to-end translates a
multi-event SSE stream into JSON-RPC notifications with the
substrate's payload preserved.

Also flagged in AGENT_SUBSTRATE.md "what it does not do yet": the
action-execution endpoints (/api/actions/plan, decision, execute)
emit a different error envelope from the agent surface (APIError
with stable code under "code") versus the agent-stable shape
(stable code under "error"). Adding them to the manifest
requires resolving that mismatch first; recorded as a focused
slice for whenever the substrate's reach extends to direct
agent-driven execution.

📚 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.
