rcourtman e74fea4bbc Give Proxmox guests node-independent canonical identity
A guest's unified canonical ID hashed its node-scoped source ID
(instance:node:vmid), so a live migration to another cluster node
re-minted the resource and orphaned every operator-owned row keyed by
the old ID: explicit availability check links (fail-closed by design,
the reported symptom in #1669), alert overrides, operator state, action
audits, manual links, and recovery subjects. VMIDs are unique within a
cluster, so guests now derive their canonical ID from instance+VMID
("proxmox-guest:<instance>:<vmid>") and keep it across migrations. The
guest-metadata half of #1669 was fixed separately at the metadata-store
layer.

Existing installs converge through record-declared succession: ingest
declares the retired node-scoped IDs superseded for every node the
instance currently knows (current names plus native aliases), so rows
orphaned by pre-upgrade migrations also re-key. Successions are now
recorded durably in a canonical_id_successions table, which memoizes
the re-key (steady-state rebuilds re-declare the same eras every tick
without touching SQL) and lets change-journal reads merge retired guest
eras the way pin EraIDs do for hosts. The succession re-key also covers
manual link/exclusion rows.

Availability links resolve retired canonical IDs and old-node source
triples through a registry superseded index plus guest-triple parsing
(persistence keys only, ambiguity fails closed), and the stored
LinkedResourceID re-homes to the current canonical ID on the
alert-migration cadence. Recovery subjects converge on the same
derivation via CanonicalSubjectResourceID, the mapper's registry-miss
fallback, node-independent external guest keys, and the store's startup
backfill, which also sweeps posture rows stranded under retired subject
keys. Metrics history and frontend row identity key off the node-scoped
source ID and are deliberately unchanged.

📚 Pulse Documentation

Welcome to the Pulse documentation portal. Here you'll find everything you need to install, configure, and master Pulse.


v6 Execution Canonical Source

For Pulse v6 build/release execution work, do not start from this broad docs index. Use:

  1. docs/release-control/v6/internal/SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md for stable human governance and locked decisions
  2. docs/release-control/v6/internal/status.json for live lane state, lane-to-subsystem ownership, structured evidence references, typed lane/subsystem decision records, and canonical ordered lists
  3. docs/release-control/v6/status.schema.json for the machine-readable status contract
  4. docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.json and docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.schema.json for subsystem ownership, explicit shared-ownership exceptions, and proof-routing rules
  5. python3 scripts/release_control/status_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived evidence health audit
  6. python3 scripts/release_control/registry_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem registry audit
  7. python3 scripts/release_control/contract_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem contract audit, including explicit cross-subsystem dependency checks and exact registry-derived shared-boundary wording Local pre-commit runs the v6 machine audits against staged control-file content so partial staging cannot hide governance drift. Local pre-commit also blocks partial staging for hook-sensitive governance files under docs/release-control/v6/, scripts/release_control/, internal/repoctl/, .husky/pre-commit, and .github/workflows/canonical-governance.yml, because those checks still execute or structurally read the working-tree versions locally.
  8. python3 scripts/release_control/subsystem_lookup.py <path> [<path> ...] --pretty --lean if you need subsystem ownership, proof routing, exact contract-focus lines, and compact lane context for a change

For governed runtime changes, a staged subsystem contract only counts if its diff updates a substantive contract section such as Purpose, Canonical Files, Shared Boundaries, Extension Points, Forbidden Paths, Completion Obligations, or Current State, rather than metadata alone.

All other documents are supporting references unless explicitly required for evidence.

💳 Plans (Community / Relay / Pro / Cloud)

Pulse is available in three self-hosted tiers plus hosted Cloud:

  • Community: Free self-hosted monitoring with core monitoring included and 7-day history.

  • Relay: Adds secure remote access to the Pulse web UI, Pulse Mobile pairing for handoff, push notifications, and 14-day history.

  • Pro: Adds hands-on Patrol modes, issue investigation, governed fixes, verified outcomes, operations tooling, governance features, and 90-day history.

  • Cloud: Hosted Pulse with Pro-level capabilities; hosted pricing is unchanged by the self-hosted model lock.
