buildPatrolAssessmentAssistantHandoff lost its last caller when the Patrol summary card's Discuss handler was removed ineac7dfe9ef(2026-05-15), and buildPatrolConfigurationFailureHandoff lost its last caller in27ba85ddc6(2026-06-23). Since then only their own tests called them. A TypeScript compiler import graph rooted at src/index.tsx confirms no reachable file imports either one. Removing them also drops PatrolInvestigationContextSummary, their input and output types, and the private assessment, recent-change, correlation and save-failure helpers that only they used (found with noUnusedLocals until it reported nothing). Rollup had already tree-shaken all of it: production builds of the parent tree and of this tree are byte-identical across all 187 dist files, and the bundle-size check passes. The presentation helpers the dead code imported keep their live callers. Their test cases go with them. Two cases covered branches the live finding handoff still uses, so they now run through buildPatrolAssistantFindingHandoffActions and buildPatrolAssistantFindingHandoff: a typed pending action without a legacy approval id stays approval-bound, and the finding context qualifies its resource with the record's node and truncates long lines. v8 coverage of the surviving model code matches the pre-removal baseline except one defensive guard the live caller cannot reach. The raw-source guards pinned none of the removed code. The Assistant drawer still restores saved patrol_assessment and patrol_configuration_failure sessions, so that compatibility path stays. The contracts described both handoffs as live producers, and described a Patrol summary card, assessment strip, assessment readout, score chip and header trust line that the page no longer renders. patrol-intelligence, ai-runtime, api-contracts, frontend-primitives, security-privacy, storage-recovery, agent-lifecycle and unified-resources now say what the code does: those handoffs survive only as saved sessions, the drawer, session list and API keep restoring them, rules for a returning summary card, strip or readout are conditional, and handoff_actions and adjacent-boundary clauses name the finding and attention handoffs that send them today. The run-history handoff clauses also claimed the browser sends a [Patrol Run Context] block and scoped resources; it sends the briefing and run identity, and internal/ai/patrol_assistant_handoff.go rebuilds the rest from the run ID. docs/AI.md (and its public mirror) told users the legacy operational score sits in a collapsed supporting-context section. That section and the score are gone; the section now points at Activity > Finding options and history, where check history lives. ai_runtime_docs_policy_test.py, its registered proof, now pins that location and rejects the retired claim. The same file had failed on main since2789a15fe5reworded the Patrol mode API sentence to "The API retains `autonomy_level` for compatibility" without updating its pin; the pin now matches that wording.
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
- 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.
- Move a Pulse installation
