rcourtman a3e36d787f Remove the /install.sh GitHub proxy fallback; serve bundled agent installer or fail closed (#1470)
Root fix for the recurring class behind issue #1470. The served /install.sh and
/install.ps1 endpoints existed to hand out the unified AGENT installer, but their
GitHub fallback fetched the top-level install.sh release asset, which since
49412357a is the SERVER installer. Prior commits made that fallback unreachable
in normal deployments (deploy the sidecars; serve the local script even when
unsigned), but the endpoint was still structurally capable of serving the wrong
script in the no-local-bundle case.

The agent installer is a per-build artifact bundled into every release tarball and
Docker image, not a release asset, so the endpoint has no business proxying a
release asset at all. Remove proxyInstallScriptFromGitHub and its
installScriptReleaseAssetURL wrapper. handleDownloadInstallScriptCommon now serves
the locally bundled agent installer (signed when sidecars are present, unsigned
otherwise) or fails closed with 503 when no bundled script exists. Serving the
SERVER installer at this endpoint is now structurally impossible, not merely
unreachable.

The shared version-pinning (releaseAssetTag/releaseAssetURL) and installScriptClient
remain for the agent-BINARY download proxy, which legitimately fetches published
release assets; its version-pinning stays covered by the agentBinaryReleaseAssetURL
contract tests.

Replace the obsolete install-script proxy tests with fail-closed assertions
(including a guard that the endpoint makes no outbound call), drop the four
installScriptReleaseAssetURL contract tests, and revise the four subsystem
contracts that pinned the install-script fallback transport (api-contracts items
8 and 27, agent-lifecycle item 14, storage-recovery item 14, plus the
deployment-installability note) to state that install scripts are served local or
fail closed with no GitHub fallback.

📚 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:

  1. docs/release-control/v6/internal/SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md for stable human governance and locked decisions
  2. docs/release-control/v6/internal/status.json for live lane state, lane-to-subsystem ownership, structured evidence references, typed lane/subsystem decision records, and canonical ordered lists
  3. docs/release-control/v6/status.schema.json for the machine-readable status contract
  4. docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.json and docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.schema.json for subsystem ownership, explicit shared-ownership exceptions, and proof-routing rules
  5. python3 scripts/release_control/status_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived evidence health audit
  6. python3 scripts/release_control/registry_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem registry audit
  7. python3 scripts/release_control/contract_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem contract audit, including explicit cross-subsystem dependency checks and exact registry-derived shared-boundary wording Local pre-commit runs the v6 machine audits against staged control-file content so partial staging cannot hide governance drift. Local pre-commit also blocks partial staging for hook-sensitive governance files under docs/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.
  8. python3 scripts/release_control/subsystem_lookup.py <path> [<path> ...] --pretty --lean if 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.
