rcourtman ce338b1496 Remove the unreachable Workloads group drawer and group pin (#2723)
## Why

`useWorkloadsState` defaulted `groupNodeDrawerMode` to `'inline'`, and
only that mode wired group-header hover preview, click-to-pin group
scope and an inline `NodeDrawer` under the group row. The only page that
used the default, the standalone `/workloads` page, was retired in May.
Both production mounts have passed `'disabled'` since host drawers moved
to each page's own hosts table: Proxmox in 84f627e22a (2026-05-18, "Move
Proxmox host drawers to the host table") and vSphere in d96d5612fd
(2026-05-23). The disabling was deliberate on both pages, so this
removes the dead path instead of re-enabling it. The demand ledger has
no entry asking for workload group hover or pin.

The only way left to reach the group pin was a hand-typed
`?summaryGroup=` URL. No link builder passes it, and row expansion
stopped writing it in 86ac84f68e.

## What changes

- `WorkloadPanel`: drops the inline `NodeDrawer` mount, the group hover
and pin handlers, `aria-expanded`, `data-summary-group-series-count`,
`data-summary-row-active` on group rows, and the group-member state
passed to `GuestRow`. Group rows stay identity-only dividers and keep
`data-summary-group-id`, so clicking one still leaves an open guest
drawer alone (`summaryTableFocus` ignores that selector).
- `useWorkloadSelectionState`: drops the hovered and focused group
scope, `summaryGroup` hydration and the related effects. It no longer
passes group options to the shared bridge; Storage still uses them.
- `useWorkloadsState`: drops the option, `getNodeTemperatureThresholds`
(it only fed the removed drawer), and the `summaryGroupScopes` memo,
which rebuilt a scope for every group on every filtered-guest change.
- Removes `buildWorkloadSummaryGroupScope(Map)`,
`workloadsHasVisibleWorkloadGroupScope`, the `GuestRow` group-member
attribute and the workloads `summaryGroup` route param.
- Proxmox and vSphere stop passing the option. Their filter bars'
pinned-selection state now reads only the selected guest.
- `NodeDrawer` stays live in `ProxmoxNodesTable`. The temperature
guardrail now pins that live mount instead of the dead one.
- Contracts: rule 8 and the Workloads, Proxmox and vSphere clauses now
describe static dividers. Stale sentences about grouped node rows
opening the node drawer, group-row emphasis, and Workloads selection
writing back to the route are corrected.

## Verification

- Before/after browser pass on pulse-dev: embedded builds on mock demo
stacks, Proxmox and vSphere overviews, at 1440x900 and 390x844.
  - Hover, click and tap on group dividers do nothing on both builds.
- Guest drawer, Escape, guest-row hover emphasis, `?resource=` links and
the Proxmox nodes-table `NodeDrawer` behave the same on both builds.
- Clicking a divider with a guest drawer open keeps the drawer: 10/10 on
each build.
- The hand-typed `?summaryGroup=` URL pinned 18 Proxmox rows on main and
pins none now.
- Receipt: `frontend-modern/browser-verification/db4ee39cb5db006c.json`.
- Frontend typecheck passes. The targeted suites (Workloads, proxmox,
vmware, platformPage, shared, routing, utils, hooks, Storage) pass on
pulse-dev except one Proxmox backups windowing test that failed once at
load ~40 and then passed 2/2 alone.
- A full-suite run on the earlier base passed except files that also
fail on unmodified main or only under load. `useReportingPanelState`
fails on main there too.
- Commit hook battery and governance audits pass.
- Two rounds of second-opinion review. Round 1 caught a stale test pin
and stale perf-contract prose; round 2 caught one inaccurate
scroll-restore sentence. All are fixed here.

Follow-ups raised separately: the built-in `WorkloadsSurface` filter
toolbar is also unreachable, since both mounts pass
`suppressFilterToolbar`. The quarantined E2E spec 48 still targets the
retired `/workloads` page.

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

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.
