rcourtman bd9063ed56 Cut 6.5 and later releases from main
Releases are cut from the head of main since 2 October, but three things
still made every release need hand edits before it could pass:

- the control plane routed 6.5.x to the abandoned release/v6.5 line;
- main lacked the published 6.4.4 to 6.4.6 packets, so rollback
  derivation on main still found 6.4.1;
- the packet tests pinned prose from old 6.4.x notes (named
  highlights, issue numbers, one release's mobile decision) and the
  per-release sentences in the deployment-installability contract,
  which changes several times a day on main.

Map 6.5 to main, carry the published packets over from release/v6.4,
and keep the packet tests to what the release tooling generates: version
pins, packet pointers, required sections and the rollback, signing and
mobile sentences.

Contract-Neutral: Release routing and release-packet test scope only; no runtime, install or public contract changes.

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.
