vSphere ESXi hosts and TrueNAS boxes rendered as standalone rows under
'Pulse Agent hosts' in Infrastructure settings even though no Pulse Agent
runs on them. The rows were unmanageable duplicates of their owning platform
connection: they carry no credentials, pause, or remove semantics, and they
can never attach to their vSphere/TrueNAS system because attachment requires
a shared host while the machine hostname differs from the vCenter address.
They also inflated connected-system counts.
buildConnections now skips hosts with a non-empty IntegrationSource, so the
ledger and grouped systems represent those machines solely through their
owning platform connection. Per-machine visibility is unchanged on the
vSphere/TrueNAS platform pages and Machines, which read the unified fabric
directly. Connection.integrationSource stays declared as defense-in-depth
for agent-only client workflows. No alert impact: agent-type rows were
already dropped from alert snapshots.
