rcourtman 5d53fa7a3d Remove the Assistant mutation handlers nothing calls
pulse_control only plans typed resource actions into Pulse Actions
(executeControlResource -> typedActionPlanner). The handlers that sat
behind the retired model-authored command, file and container paths
stayed in the tree with no production caller: run command, guest
control, app-container control, Docker control and container update,
Kubernetes scale/restart/delete-pod/exec, and file append/write.
registerFileTools was never called either, so pulse_file_edit is not
registered at all; calls to it are denied by the mutation registry
before any tool lookup.

A whole-program reachability run over cmd/... lists each of them as
unreachable, and so is everything only they used: approval-record and
preflight authoring, the command and native-action audit lanes with
their remediation-lock gate and plan-hash helpers, the Docker host
resolvers, and the file write verification. The executor's autonomous
flag, whose only readers were those handlers, goes with them (the
executor's SetAutonomousMode and the flag argument of SetContext).

Delete them with their tests and the constants, types and test helpers
they stranded. The contract prose that described the removed broker now
says that plan freshness and the operator remediation lock are enforced
by internal/actionlifecycle. Two source pins that named deleted code go
(the publishActionCompleted dispatch sites and the pulse_file_edit
declaration), the standards tests drop their expectations of an
ActionPlan construction in action_audit.go and of the legacy app_container
rejection in the deleted file-edit test, and the RA35 evidence entry for
the deleted run-command test goes with them.

Left alone on purpose: the saved autonomous control level and its
entitlement and approval-admission checks, which stay as legacy
compatibility, Service.SetAutonomousMode and the chat clamp,
SetOnActionCompleted and its router wiring (no dispatcher is left, the
contract prose says so), and the protected-guests plumbing.

Rebuilt on current main: the first version had 213 commits of drift.
Two conflicts, both on code this change deletes. tools_control.go takes
the deletion over the Protected guests cleanup that landed inside
executeRunCommand. action_audit_remediation_lock_test.go goes with the
audit lanes, including the test added for the dispatch gate's read
through a succession; that gate is deleted here, and
TestLockMovedBySuccessionStillRefusesTheIDThePreviousGenerationLists in
internal/actionlifecycle covers the same refusal on the live path.

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.
