PlanHash existed on ActionPlan as the contract for "the operator approved exactly this (command, target, reason) combination" but the broker never validated it: at execute time the freshly-recomputed hash was overwritten by the approved plan's hash via mergeApprovedActionPlan without comparison. A drifted payload (LLM re-emits with different command, agent ID changes between approval and execute, malicious injection) would run under a stale approval. Fix: at the dispatch boundary in executeCommandWithAudit, recompute the approval-equivalent hash from the actual payload using approvalPlanHash (same function used at approval-creation time, so direct comparison is meaningful), compare to plan.PlanHash, and refuse with a new ErrActionPlanDrift error when they differ. The drift refusal also logs at WARN level with action_id, approval_id, and both hashes so audit review can see when drift was caught. When approvedHash is empty (older approval records or contract paths that did not author one), validation is skipped and existing behavior is preserved. Adds two tests: - TestExecuteCommandWithAuditRefusesPayloadDriftAgainstApprovedPlan: approval is for "systemctl restart workload"; payload at execute time is "rm -rf /var/log/pulse"; expects ErrActionPlanDrift and no agent dispatch. - TestExecuteCommandWithAuditAllowsMatchingPlanHash: same payload matches the approved hash; expects normal dispatch. Updates two pre-existing tests that used stub PlanHash strings: - TestExecuteCommandWithDeniedApprovalDoesNotDispatch: was testing the denial path with PlanHash:"sha256:test". Now uses the real approval- equivalent hash so denial fires (not drift) and the test still isolates the denial behavior. - ControlledConsumesApprovedCommandWithResolvedRoutingTarget: same fix pattern. Extends TestActionExecutionContractStaysAPIOwned in code_standards test to pin ErrActionPlanDrift's existence in actions.go so future refactors cannot silently downgrade drift into a generic error kind. Native action path (executeNativeActionWithAudit) is left for a follow-up: it has the same drift gap but uses actionPlanHashForParams which is shaped differently from approvalPlanHash, so a sound fix needs a coherent canonical hash function rather than just adding the check. Contracts pinned in ai-runtime and unified-resources (new Completion Obligation #20).
📚 Pulse Documentation
Welcome to the Pulse documentation portal. Here you'll find everything you need to install, configure, and master Pulse.
v6 Execution Canonical Source
For Pulse v6 build/release execution work, do not start from this broad docs index. Use:

Local pre-commit also blocks partial staging for hook-sensitive governance files underdocs/release-control/v6/,scripts/release_control/,internal/repoctl/,.husky/pre-commit, and.github/workflows/canonical-governance.yml, because those checks still execute or structurally read the working-tree versions locally.python3 scripts/release_control/subsystem_lookup.py <path> [<path> ...] --pretty --leanif you need subsystem ownership, proof routing, exact contract-focus lines, and compact lane context for a change
For governed runtime changes, a staged subsystem contract only counts if its
diff updates a substantive contract section such as Purpose, Canonical Files,
Shared Boundaries, Extension Points, Forbidden Paths,
Completion Obligations, or Current State, rather than metadata alone.
All other documents are supporting references unless explicitly required for evidence.
