formatRelativeTime is past-only: any time ahead of now reads "just now"
(compact) or "0s ago", which is right for clock skew on an observed
time. Patrol handed it three future times, so each read wrong for its
whole duration: a suppressed issue said "Returns to active attention
just now.", a will-fix-later finding said "Reminding just now", and a
snoozed finding said "snoozed until just now".
formatTimeUntil in utils/format.ts is the future counterpart. It counts
down ("in 3h", "in 1d"), rounds to the nearest unit so a 24-hour
suppression set a moment ago reads "in 1d" rather than "in 23h", and
returns "now" (or the caller's dueText) once the time arrives. The three
Patrol lines use it with the shared relative-time clock, because none of
those times change while the panel stays open, and keep the exact time
on hover.
The suppression line names the state expiry restores. An open issue
reads "Returns to active attention in 1d."; one marked reviewed reads
"Suppression ends in 1d. It stays reviewed.", because expiry restores
Acknowledged, which is not active attention; a passed expiry reads
"Suppression has ended.". The countdown takes its words from
getAttentionSuppressionEndPresentation, which already words the
early-end button and the duration field by the same reviewed split, so
all three agree.
A reminder reads "Reminder overdue" once one overdue id list, sampled on
the shared clock, holds it. The Overdue commitments chip and filter
count the same list, so the label, chip and filter agree even for a row
that mounts between ticks (it reads "Reminder due" until the next tick),
and the list only notifies when its ids change, so a tick that moves no
deadline past now does not rebuild open rows. The reminder hover no
longer promises the finding returns only "if it is still tripping": the
hourly reminder sweep brings it back regardless. An ended snooze reads
"snooze ended" until the next findings re-read drops the snoozed status.
The existing countdowns did not fit: CountdownTimer runs its own
one-second interval and has no day unit (a 7-day suppression would read
"167h 59m"), and the replication Next sync helper is private to that
table with sync-specific overdue tones.
An audit of every formatRelativeTime and
formatPlatformTableRelativeTimeValue caller found no other future
timestamps; the autopilot and alert snooze expiries already show an
absolute time.
This rebuilds PR 2613 on main after PR 2598 landed. PR 2613 was stacked
on two early PR 2598 commits whose relative-age contract wording main
has since replaced (every read of the shared clock now returns the wall
clock), so the future-time note sits under main's wording and before the
read-time age exception, and that exception now opens "The relative-age
rule" so it does not read as an exception to the future-time note.
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
- 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
- Production deployment and security
- Security review scope
- Authentication and credential storage review packet
- 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.
- Move a Pulse installation
