rcourtman c000972ac9 Require empty subsystem default proof lists the guard never reads
Every subsystem must declare require_explicit_path_policy_coverage, so
build_verification_requirements never falls back to a rule's default
verification policy; an unmatched runtime file becomes a path-policy gap
instead. The default test_prefixes and exact_files were therefore never
consulted, yet 13 of 16 rules carried them (93 files and one prefix),
and authors kept adding proofs there as if they counted.

92 of the 93 files were already proof on some path policy, and
api-contracts' default prefix is on three of its own policies. The one
orphan, internal/api/router_bench_test.go, benchmarks the api-contracts
router rather than any performance-and-scalability runtime, so no policy
should take it; it stays an owned file only.

The registry drops the lists, registry_audit requires them empty and
points authors at the path policy instead, and the canonical protocol
says so. The protocol also stops promising same-subsystem tests "when
the registry explicitly allows them", which the audit no longer permits.

No verdict changes: build_verification_requirements returns identical
requirements for all 2746 owned runtime paths, and for an uncovered
path, under the old and new registry.

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.
