rcourtman a21e0ef8f8 Stop reports and resource history calling a moved alert recovered (#2607)
Follows #2591. A node alert that moves to its linked Pulse agent closes
with a `moved_to_agent` resolution (#2580). Two readers still presented
that close as a recovery.

**Performance reports.** The node, VM and container enrichers copied
recently resolved alerts into `reporting.AlertInfo` without the
resolution, so a report generated in the five-minute window after a
handover read HEALTHY, "All systems operating normally", counted the
alert as "triggered and resolved", and sent the AI narrator `resolved:
true`.

- Report rows now carry the alert's resource and resolution
(`reportActiveAlertInfo` / `reportResolvedAlertInfo`).
- `pkg/reporting` has one rule (`unresolvedAlerts`): an alert that
closed without recovering stays live unless the report also shows its
successor's reading for that metric, meaning an open alert or a recovery
since the handover. That way the condition is counted once, and fleets
match handovers across all their resources.
- The single-resource PDF card reads WARNING (or CRITICAL at the alert's
level) with "Alert moved to <agent> - check the agent for the current
reading". The active list names the agent, the alerts table shows
"Moved" with the engine's summary as a note, and recommendations say to
check the agent.
- Fleets count the alert as active and name the agent. Their all-clear
pattern and "No fleet-wide action required" no longer appear while any
alert is active.
- The narrator payload carries `resolved: false`, the summary and
`successor_alert_listed`, with prompt rules for both.

**Resource history.** `alert_resolved` changes were labelled by kind
alone ("Alert resolved", green) with that label prefixed to the
headline. `getResourceChangePresentation` now reads the
`alert_resolution` metadata: the change reads "Alert moved" in the
neutral blue of the history badge, and its summary is the whole headline
in the drawer, `ResourceChangeSummary` and Patrol's assessment handoff.

**Verification**
- A private mock stack running this branch, with a local-only overlay
that closes a real pve1 memory alert through `clearAlertWithResolution`.
Within the window, `/api/admin/reports/generate?resourceType=node`
rendered CRITICAL with the handover message and a "Moved" row, while the
ordinary CPU recovery stayed green.
- In the browser, a full drawer (Availability checks, Fleet view) showed
the producer-made rows as "Alert moved" next to "Alert resolved" at 1280
and 375. A Proxmox node's own drawer uses the `table-row` presentation,
which fetches no change history (see below).
- Tests in registered proof files: `pkg/reporting/alert_state_test.go`
(verdict, successor timing, fleet pool, PDF text and width),
`internal/api/contract_test.go`, `internal/ai/report_narrator_test.go`,
`resourceChangePresentation.test.ts`,
`ResourceDetailDrawer.history.test.tsx` and
`patrolInvestigationContextModel.test.ts`. Each failed with the fix
reverted.
- Second opinion: two read-only review rounds. The temporal match,
fleet-wide pool, narrator dedupe signal, fleet all-clear fallbacks and
contract wording came from them.

**Not fixed here (separate changes)**
- Reports requested as `agent` carry no alert rows at all. That is how
the Reports page addresses every Proxmox node in v6, so such a report
reads HEALTHY even with active critical alerts. This change makes the
shared rule correct for when those reports attach the machine's alerts.
- Node and guest alert lifecycle changes are recorded under legacy alert
resource IDs, which canonical history queries never match. Facet kind
counts still group moved closes under "Alert resolved".

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.
