courtmanr@gmail.com 9e2ee3d535 Fail typed dispatches fast when their agent session drops
The agentexec read loop removed a dead session from the agent map but never
closed its done channel, so any dispatch already sent on that session kept
waiting for a result that could never arrive and only returned at its
operation timeout. That's what made the Proxmox cancellation replay test
flaky on the shared CI runner. The restarted action runner dropped its first
session right after registering, the replay had already been sent there,
and the server waited the full 30s while the runner sat reconnected on a
new session.

The read loop now signals the session done on exit, so in-flight typed
dispatches and commands report the disconnect straight away. The
integration test sends the same request again on the runner's next
session when that happens, which is the same durable replay it is there
to prove, still with exactly one mutation. It also keeps the runner's log
and prints it on failure so the cause of any future drop is visible.

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.
