Since #2644 the machine drawer reads a silent host agent's Thermals and Disks as last known, but the RAID card between them kept presenting the agent's last report as current: a green "clean" array, an amber "clean, degraded, recovering" array with "Rebuild: 45% · 98000K/sec", and coloured member badges, as if the array were still rebuilding. The Machines table's RAID tooltip did the same with an amber rebuild bar. What changes - `RaidCard` takes the drawer's `lastKnownReason` (`agentReadingsLastKnownReason`, from `agent.stale`). Every array and member state stays as evidence, but reads "<state> (last known)" in muted text beside a muted dot, titled "Last known reading, not current: host agent stopped reporting". A rebuild reads "Rebuild was at N%" without its speed. Member badges lose their status colour, so a member that was not healthy names its state ("/dev/sdb2 · faulty"). - The Machines RAID column (hidden by default) and its tooltip apply the same rule from `agent.stale`: a muted summary with ", last known" for screen readers, and a tooltip headed "RAID Arrays (last known)" without the rebuild bar or speed. - mdadm reports healthy members as "active sync", which the badge helper only matched as an exact "active", so every healthy software RAID member wore the amber warning badge. `raidPresentation.ts` now reads it as healthy (failure states still win). - RaidCard's empty guard ran once at mount, so a drawer opened before the first RAID report never showed the card. It is now tracked. - The array header row wraps, so at 390 wide the longer last-known state takes its own line instead of truncating the array name to "m..". Not changed: the guest drawer's Guest RAID card. The workload model maps `agentRaid` but not the in-guest agent's staleness, so wiring it needs a separate change across `useWorkloads.ts` and the other agent-sourced guest rows. Verification - Private mock stack with a local-only overlay holding Apollo-114 offline past its lease, seeded with a clean md0 and a degraded, rebuilding md1. The live control host Spectrum-709 carries the same arrays. Checked the drawer card at 1920, 1440 and 390, the Machines RAID cell and tooltip at 1920 (the column is container-hidden below that), and the drawer in dark mode. Silent host: no emerald, amber or red classes anywhere in the card or tooltip. Live host: unchanged colours and rebuild bar, with healthy members now green. No console errors and no horizontal scroll. Receipt: `frontend-modern/browser-verification/05a685ccb29f5883.json`. - New tests: `RaidCard.test.tsx` (current, last known, transitions both ways, empty to populated), `raidPresentation.test.ts` (active sync and last-known labels), an `AgentsMachinesTable.test.tsx` case (muted summary, dot, no colour classes, no rebuild bar), and a `SharedPrimitives.guardrails.test.ts` pin. All five fail against the base source. - `vitest` over `components/shared`, `components/Infrastructure`, `components/Workloads`, `features/standalone`, `features/platformPage` and `utils` passes, apart from the PTY tests in `agentInstallCommand.test.ts`, which fail on macOS regardless of this change. The pre-commit battery passes.

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
- Proxmox Backup Server
- Proxmox Mail Gateway
- Docker and Podman
- Kubernetes and Helm
- TrueNAS SCALE and CORE
- Unified Agent
- Agent security
- VM disk monitoring
- ZFS monitoring
- Temperature monitoring
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
- Metrics history
- Recovery data
- Webhooks
- Automatic updates
- Centralized agent management (Pro)
- Operational trust model
- Current product screenshots
Pulse Intelligence
- Assistant, Patrol, and external-agent overview
- Patrol modes and safety
- Assistant safety model
- External agent HTTP and MCP substrate
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
- Production deployment and security
- Security review scope
- Authentication and credential storage review packet
- Security guide
- Privacy and telemetry disclosure
- OIDC and SSO
- Proxy authentication
- Role-based access control (Pro)
- Audit logging (Pro)
- Reverse proxy configuration
- Code-signing policy
Plans and managed access
- Community, Relay, and Pro capabilities
- Relay and Pulse Mobile handoff
- Multi-tenant organizations (Enterprise/custom)
- Provider-hosted MSP operations (request-assisted)
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.
Previous versions and migrations
- Upgrade from v4 to v5
- Retired unified-navigation migration — historical context only; current Pulse uses platform-shaped navigation.
