rcourtman eb2b859d22 Show a silent agent's retained RAID state as last known
Since #2644 the machine drawer reads a silent host agent's Thermals and
Disks as last known, but the RAID card between them kept presenting the
agent's last report as current. On a mock stack the held host showed a
green "clean" array and an amber "clean, degraded, recovering" array
with "Rebuild: 45% · 98000K/sec" and coloured member badges, as if the
array were still rebuilding now. The Machines table's RAID tooltip did
the same, with an amber rebuild bar.

RaidCard now takes the drawer's lastKnownReason. Every array and member
state stays, because an array that degraded before the machine went
quiet is evidence, but it reads "(last known)" in muted text beside a
muted dot, titled with the reason. A rebuild reads "Rebuild was at N%"
without its speed, and member badges lose their status colour, so a
member that was not healthy names its state ("/dev/sdb2 · faulty").
The Machines RAID column and tooltip apply the same rule from
agent.stale. The guest drawer's Guest RAID card stays as it is: the
workload model carries agentRaid but no agent staleness yet.

Two fixes ride along in the same primitive. mdadm reports a healthy
member as "active sync", which the badge helper only matched as exact
"active", so every healthy software RAID member wore the amber warning
badge; raidPresentation now reads it as healthy. RaidCard's empty guard
ran once at mount, so a drawer opened before the first RAID report never
showed the card; it is now tracked. The array header row also wraps, so
on a phone the longer last-known state no longer truncates the name.

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.
