rcourtman df9514df37 Show a remote unacknowledge in a tab that acknowledged locally
After acknowledging an alert on Alerts > Overview, an unacknowledge from
another session never brought the card back in that tab until a reload,
although /api/alerts/active and the store both had it unacknowledged.

useAlertAcknowledgementState kept its own acknowledgement override over
the store alerts. Its release effect never read the override signal and
only re-ran when the Object.values memo over the keyed store changed,
which in-place store writes do not trigger. The override outlived the
server's confirmation and then masked the server's next change; whether
it cleared depended on unrelated alerts appearing or resolving. The
websocket store's updateAlert already writes the optimistic state and
holds back stale payloads until the server confirms, so the hook now
writes through it and keeps no copy (its only caller always passed it).

The store hold had gaps of its own:

- The backend broadcasts after writing the HTTP response, so the
  confirming payload can arrive before the response resolves. The hold
  then waited for a second confirmation, skipped a following remote
  unacknowledge, and after 15s showed "Server did not confirm the alert
  acknowledgment in time" without re-syncing. A change the stored alert
  already shows now sets no hold and keeps the server's ackTime/ackUser.
- A hold that gives up now re-syncs from /api/alerts/active, fetching
  again if a recovery it joins is fenced out, since a quiet estate may
  send no further alert delta.
- A local acknowledgement write supersedes a REST recovery in flight,
  whose response may predate the write: the store discards it and
  fetches again once it settles.

Tests: hook tests over a real createStore/reconcile store (local
acknowledge then remote unacknowledge, local restore then remote
acknowledge, bulk) and the overview-state test backed by a keyed store
fail on the old hook at the remote-change step. The store tests for the
broadcast-before-response race and the give-up fail on the old store;
the recovery races are each pinned by a test that fails when its
mechanism is removed.

Browser check on a private mock stack at 1280x900 and 375x812: a local
acknowledge then a curl unacknowledge brings the card back within 2s
(before, it stayed hidden while the nav badge already counted it); a
local restore then a remote acknowledge moves it back to Acknowledged;
with the acknowledge response delayed 1.5s so the socket wins, the card
returns at once with no toast, where main's store held it back for
about 16s and then showed the toast.

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.
