rcourtman df41170313 Send built-in webhook template headers on real alerts (#2545)
Fixes #2540.

A Telegram webhook passed **Test** while every real alert was rejected
with `Bad Request: message text is empty`.

**Cause.** The two paths built their headers differently:
- The Test path always overlaid the service template's headers
(`Content-Type: application/json`).
- Real deliveries sent the stored header copy that the UI seeded when
the webhook was created. An edit can leave that copy blank, masked or
replaced. For example, the edit form shows the stored value as
`***REDACTED***`, and clearing it saves an empty `Content-Type`.

Telegram's HTTP reader parses body arguments only for JSON,
form-urlencoded or multipart content types, and `sendMessage` checks
`text` before `chat_id`. So a JSON body without a JSON Content-Type
produces exactly that error.

**Fix.** When a built-in service renders its own body (no custom
template), the template's static headers describe that body:
- `prepareWebhookDeliveryContext` applies them on every real firing and
recovery, replacing stored values under any spelling of the header name.
Unrelated stored headers stay.
- The Test path uses the same `withWebhookTemplateHeaders` helper, so a
passing Test predicts real delivery.
- Custom templates and generic webhooks keep their stored headers. ntfy
recoveries still build their own plain-text request.

**Tests** (`internal/notifications/webhook_template_headers_test.go`):
- A real queued Telegram alert, with blank, masked, replaced, lowercase
and duplicate stored Content-Type values, now sends JSON with `text`.
Before the fix it sent `""`, `***REDACTED***` or `text/plain`.
- For every built-in service, the Test, grouped and resolved requests
carry identical template headers and keep unrelated stored headers.
- A custom template keeps its stored Content-Type.

`go test ./internal/notifications` and `./internal/api/alerting` pass.

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.
