courtmanr@gmail.com ad97ae890d Backfill agent-lifecycle governance for the marshal-hook race fix
68e557e9f moved the Docker agent's JSON-marshal hook from a package global
to a per-Agent field, which touches internal/dockeragent/agent.go and
internal/dockeragent/container_update.go. It meant to take the
Contract-Neutral bypass, but a blank line separated the trailer from
Co-Authored-By, so git's trailer parser dropped it, CI ran the completion
guard without a reason, and Canonical Governance went red on three counts:
missing contract docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/agent-lifecycle.md,
missing verification artifact for "agent runtime transport trust proof", and
missing verification artifact for "Docker container recreate, rollback,
durable result, and live network-mode proof". The sibling timer-hook commit
8e5ef365d has the same defect, so this backfill covers both seams.

Document the seams in the agent-lifecycle contract's Current State: both
newTimerFn and jsonMarshalFn are unexported Agent fields reached through the
newTimer and jsonMarshal methods, nil falls back to time.NewTimer and
json.Marshal, no package-level hook global remains in internal/dockeragent,
and injection happens at construction only so the fields need no mutex. The
seams stay internal — no enrollment, transport trust, command admission,
acknowledgement, or recreate/rollback semantics move, and they must not be
promoted into NewAgent options or any server-facing surface.

Pin that shape in the two registered verification artifacts.
agent_internal_test.go asserts the field names, types, and unexported-ness,
parses every non-test source in the package to fail if either hook returns as
a package-level var, proves the nil defaults run the standard library, drives
two Agents with different hooks concurrently so the isolation is checked under
-race, and proves sendCommandAck marshals through the receiver's own seam.
container_update_test.go proves decodeUpdateContainerPayload routes through
a.jsonMarshal, that an injected failure never reaches a sibling Agent, and
pins the method form at compile time.

Guard dry-run over the staged set passes with no Contract-Neutral bypass, and
replaying 68e557e9f's file list plus these three files is green, so the
original commit would have passed had it carried them.

📚 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.
