Fixes #1685.
The "Last refresh" clock in the app shell was built with a hardcoded en-US
locale and hour12 true, so every reader saw a US 12 hour clock regardless of
their system settings. #1279 already fixed this once in App.tsx; the v6
rewrite that moved the logic into useAppRuntimeState.ts reinstated the
hardcoded form, and it has shipped that way since GA. The reporter spotted
the regression and named the original PR.
Swept the rest of the frontend for the same defect. One other site remained,
the alert history day group full-date label, which rendered "Thursday,
August 6, 2026" to a reader whose own rows are ordered day-month. Both now
pass undefined so the runtime resolves the viewer's locale and clock
convention.
Because this is a regression that already survived one fix, add a
canonical-shared/no-hardcoded-format-locale audit rule covering
toLocaleString, toLocaleDateString, toLocaleTimeString and the Intl
constructors, with an allowFiles escape for any call that genuinely needs a
fixed locale. Confirmed the rule fires on the exact reintroduced regression
and passes once reverted.
Verified in an en-GB browser: the footer now reads 20:52:55 rather than
8:52:55 PM, and the history day header title reads "Thursday, 6 August 2026".
Contract-Neutral: Contract deltas staged where the change actually lands: frontend-primitives.md gains the shared date/number formatting-locale rule and names the audit that enforces it, and alerts.md extends the existing timestamp paragraph to the day group label. Residual demands are inapplicable. cloud-paid.md names useAppRuntimeState.ts for hosted org-context bootstrap and licence boundaries and performance-and-scalability.md names it as an app-shell performance boundary; grepped both and neither documents date formatting, and swapping a locale argument moves neither boundary. The alerts frontend surface proof is the same fixed policy list as a0113b964 and does not name alertHistoryModel.branchcov.test.ts, which is the file that actually covers this model; editing an unrelated listed proof would be fabrication.
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.
- Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
- 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
- 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.
