pulse-triage[bot] 2e9404504b Restore backup-alert protection and keep guest, backup and Diagnostics evidence truthful (#2463)
## What changes and why
- Keep backup-age checks fast and make failed or partial evaluations
visible through one existing system warning, without clearing retained
age alerts. Indexed latest-observation reads preserve retention, schema
and the read budget. This responds to the recurring missed checks
reported in #2465; synthetic timing is not proof of relief on the
reporter's Pi.
- Defer guest-agent commands after uncertain HTTP results and require
same-target, unambiguous backup-lock evidence before guest reads. Keep
guest coverage truthful when only remembered versions or a parent-node
assignment exist. Preserve the original observation time/source of
retained memory through existing backend projections. These changes
advance #2439 safety, but do not establish native thaw or recovery.
- Attribute Proxmox backups using native connection/node and unique PBS
namespace evidence, retaining ambiguous artifacts rather than assigning
them by substring or display name. Show unreliable PBS capacity as
Unknown/Unavailable, while retaining valid measured zero and readable
phone warnings.
- Restore existing TrueNAS and VMware connection alerts using the
constructed runtime pollers. This does not resolve the distinct
monitoring cause reported in #2382.
- Keep safe report collection and attachment guidance self-contained,
and make manual backup pause/resumption precautions usable. Repair the
Diagnostics integration journey's outdated controls, download assertions
and session capability, without changing production authorization.

## Included source
Published base `61146105c74a5968d877691e02963c41f8e66076` → exact final
head `af73b0e6c618da83c4fc5e702ba464257481851c`.

The previous proposal head `dcde1d0157d5e3c4cd626d6b920a45016a3f0437`
and all reviewed ancestry remain unchanged. This advances the proposal
once after its workflows completed with demonstrated failures; it does
not interrupt a checking head.

Reviewed candidates include:
- Previous batch: guest HTTP `cd1e3ba12f`, runtime alerts `7f5c8a0cf1`,
safe intake `496ba1e73e`, PBS capacity/render sequence `8f09a59996`
through `d2f7e456b3a`.
- Manual pause `3fd44b8325`; native backup ownership `c5e83ceb3a` /
`6198a3ce22`; authoritative locks `b77e6908e6`; truthful guest coverage
`ba3e2d2c1c` / `8f9a9a6a1e` / `f9f53befbb`.
- Backup evaluation/query `5774b6bc4b` / `7a19a06631`; Diagnostics
sequence `ed168c8d7e` through `a3bbcae0c9`; memory provenance
`abee023634` through `80d8ad0f59`; self-contained intake `7c9922f55d`.
- Starting reviewed canonical tip
`8003a4037bf2e6628d47ca6c7da239a11096168e` is retained. Four additive
publication corrections (`745ddc982a` through `79091f7b03`) supply the
report-form contract, connected docsLinks regression and exact
historical completion pair. The first completion's section placement
failed the checker; its substantive-section correction passes. No
accepted commit was amended or recreated.

## Validation and remaining gates
The previous proposal's completed runs remain adverse: Build/Test
`37204956836` failed the documentation drift assertion; E2E
`37204956824` failed Diagnostics shards 3/6/8 (download/obsolete
Run-control timeouts). These warrant the admitted changed-source
repairs, not an unchanged retry.

Retained reviewed evidence includes guest transport/connected/race/build
(`source-5_ta7via`), runtime alert connected proof (`source-s0xmdftf`),
PBS source/render evidence (`source-_9ekxhcy`), manual-pause
source/render (`source-ifgmfzhw`), all-reader authoritative-lock proof
(`source-41amnzmb`), guest coverage's 1,901 connected tests/full
types/lint/build and inspected Chromium/WebKit desktop/phone renders
(`source-3y6kfagt`), backup recovery/alerts/monitoring/races/vet/real
builds (`source-vc1jlsz9`), and memory
models/unified-resource/alerts/monitoring/races/vet/types/real
embed/build (`source-5swnugj9`). Diagnostics retains nine passing
full-app journeys with matching source hashes; catalogue
`source-cyehgbio` discovers 916 test/project identities, including all
nine Diagnostics cases, but is not runtime acceptance. Intake
`source-stznewur` retains two intended parent failures and passing
policy/documentation/mirror checks.

Publication checks: provenance, clean retained ancestry, per-commit
canonical completion/history, registry/contract audits and final
browser-content coverage (nine changed production frontend files) pass.
Earlier proposal-head (`79091f7b`) offline VM proof `source-1fn6chab`
passes 36 docsLinks tests, formatting, 27 intake cases, 211 public
Markdown checks and 62 mirrors, with complete hash-matched output and
guest stop. Its line-index bound is explicit. Earlier `source-yj300mm2`
passed docsLinks but exited 1 when a browser script was mistakenly
invoked in a source VM without Playwright; no browser result is claimed
from that attempt. Earlier local preparation failures and prior
API/embed limitation remain evidence at their own bindings, not green
aggregate results.

Required exact-head CI must run the complete backend/build/frontend,
audit and protected E2E checks, with independent source review, before
landing. Existing sufficient connected/render proof was not repeated
solely for batching. This is source publication, not release
qualification, deployment, native appliance/guest acceptance or
completion of the linked reports. The containing all-main release, Pi
evaluation/failure/recovery, native backup/thaw/covered writes/liveness,
remaining memory drawer consumption and installed whole-panel/alert
results remain separate.

## Completed workflow reconciliation and additive smoke repair
The starting proposal head `79091f7b0317807fcc76e36cde52c4ee1cc4c928`
and every reviewed commit remain ancestors of this head. Build/Test
`37219920651` has now completed. All backend partitions, frontend,
governance, security and all eight E2E shards/verdict passed, but script
smoke failed two obsolete whole-guide assertions in
`test_vm_disk_diagnostics.py`; backend build was consequently skipped.

The reviewed manual backup precaution deliberately adds six server/timer
examples. The old passive-helper test counted all seven guide examples
and banned `systemctl` throughout the whole guide. This source mismatch
warrants changed-source repair, not an unchanged retry. Additive
test-only `c4a72995c6bf2465a6540a1b546a9dcd732944af` scopes
passive-helper execution to its named section and admits only the exact
six reviewed manual-pause blocks. Its first local run retained one
failure because a shell comment was mistaken for a heading. Additive
`af73b0e6c618da83c4fc5e702ba464257481851c` parses headings only outside
fenced blocks. All 17 diagnostics/safety controls now pass, including
missing/duplicate headings, shell comments and five prohibited-command
mutations. The passive helper still rejects active guest requests and
service mutations. Production and guidance bytes remain unchanged;
mirrored docs and connected intake checks pass. Both failed
correction/control observations remain recorded, not relabelled.

Final publication provenance, clean retained ancestry, additive
contract/registry audits and the unchanged nine-production-file
browser-content coverage pass. Lightweight confined fixture proof
supplies the full 17-case suite; existing heavy/render proof was not
repeated for this test-only delta. This proposal advances only after the
previous head's workflows completed. Exact new-head CI must rerun its
required checks before landing.

The completed advisory benchmark job is also adverse:
`RefreshPlatformScopes` 294.1 → 325.0 ns (+10.51%) and
`ClassifyResourceSensitivity` 67.68 → 77.20 ns (+14.07%), each p=0.000
with ten samples. Their implementation and benchmark source are
unchanged across the batch; that does not prove noise, intentional cost
or lack of regression. Delivery owns a bounded evidence-based
disposition through the existing lane handoff. No favourable repeat,
threshold change or performance/release approval is claimed.
