rcourtman e3a93efcee Judge pulse-relaxed guests by one threshold on poll and save
CheckGuest lifted a pulse-relaxed guest's CPU, memory and disk triggers
to the 95/92/95 floor itself, but config-save reevaluation rebuilt the
guest from alert metadata without its tags and judged the alert by the
unrelaxed thresholds. A relaxed guest whose memory threshold was unset
got the floor of 92 while polling, read as no threshold on save, and
the save resolved the alert with a recovery notification; the next poll
raised it again.

The floor also lifted an Off threshold (trigger 0, or -1 from the
editors) like any low trigger, so tagging a guest relaxed turned on an
alert its config switched off, with no recovery band at all ({95, 0}).
The tag is documented as relaxing thresholds; it must never make a
guest more sensitive than its config.

- Apply the relaxed step in effectiveAlertPolicyNoLock's guest branch,
  so CheckGuest, reevaluation and any later resolver share it.
- Read the recorded tags back in guestSnapshotFromAlert ([]string live,
  []interface{} after a restart) through a shared metadata reader that
  storagePolicyAliases now uses too.
- Leave an Off threshold off; an unset one still gets the floor.
- Drop the tags key from an open alert once its resource has no tags.
  Reevaluation now reads it, and a removed pulse-relaxed left behind
  would judge the alert by the relaxed trigger while polling uses the
  guest's own.

This stacks on the per-filesystem reevaluation fix. Without it, a save
judges a filesystem alert by the guest's relaxed floor instead of the
filesystem's own lower override, and flaps it;
TestConfigSaveKeepsRelaxedGuestFilesystemOverride guards that.

The other new tests fail against the base branch's runtime files via
-overlay.

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.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

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.
