rcourtman b60f441e22 Resolve Patrol finding references before reading operator state
Patrol's finding operator-state provider read the store under the
finding's exact reference first and resolved it only on a miss. Once an
operator link folds an agent into a VM, a finding kept under the agent's
ID still found the agent's own row, even a default-valued one, and missed
the maintenance window or monitoring mode the operator then set on the
merged VM. The resources API and alert intent resolve first, so Patrol
disagreed with both.

The provider now resolves every reference through the organization
monitor's current read state (the published registry with saved hosts
overlaid, or the mock estate), which is the listing the resources API
seeds from, and reads only an unresolved reference as given. The old
miss path built a resources-API registry, which clones the unified
listing, for every finding without a row; the read state answers from a
registry it keeps.

One window still differs: a saved agent linked into a live VM that has
not reported since a restart stays its own row in the read state, so its
findings read the agent's own state there, as alert intent does.

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.
