rcourtman ac643e2bde Flag an outdated agent once on the Infrastructure page (#2531)
Each outdated Pulse Agent on Settings › Infrastructure was flagged
twice: an amber **Agent update** badge, plus a second-line **Version
behind** note. The band also counted every outdated agent as needing
attention. On a mock estate it read "11 systems needs attention", and
all 11 were version lag.

- **Version lag is maintenance.** Version behind and Update available
are now maintenance signals. The badge, which opens Agent Doctor,
carries them, so they never become the row's problem line and don't
count toward needs attention. The Manage drawer still lists every fleet
signal.
- **Real update problems still show.** A failed update and auto-update
switched off remain row problems, since each needs a different action.
- **Problems can't hide behind the cap.** A row's problem is now picked
from all its visible signals before the three-highlight cap, and
problems rank ahead of maintenance. A second attached agent's failed
update can no longer fall behind another agent's version lag.
- **The band** says how many agent updates are available, in a neutral
tone. "Systems need" and "hosts have" now agree in number.
- **Column widths.** The Actions column is wide only when a row shows an
install button beside Manage, and Health gets 27% of the table. The
Health cell now keeps the status, the badge and the last-seen time on
one line. On main, the last-seen time was cut to "18s a…".

Verification:
- At 1280, 1440 and 1920px the table has 16 rows and no clipped cells.
Main has 27 rows (including 11 problem lines), with 11 and 6 clipped
cells at 1280 and 1440px.
- The phone card layout shows no Version behind lines.
- Re-measured after rebasing onto the shared Table change in #2524. The
receipt is included.

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.

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.
