Checksum and SSHSIG verification prove the downloaded artifact matches
what was published, not that it can run on this host or is the version
the user approved. The apply pipeline previously swapped the binary and
exited, relying on systemd to restart into an unproven executable; a
wrong-arch fallback asset or unstamped build would take Pulse down with
the backup left unused.
ApplyUpdate now locates the extracted binary and probes it with
--version before the backup and swap stages, failing the update with
zero changes applied when the probe fails or reports a version other
than the apply target. Same pattern the agent updater already uses.
Pinned in the deployment-installability contract with
internal/updates/selftest_test.go as the owned proof surface.
Long custom titles on generate-multi covers overflowed the page edges;
the cover now shrinks to fit, wraps at the minimum size, and flows the
subtitle and scope blocks below a wrapped title. Also drop the stale
frontend-primitives contract and registry references to the
Settings/reportingResourceTypes.ts re-export removed in c862fb0ca; that
frontend-only commit skipped the governance audit, leaving the stale
references blocking every Go commit.
The AI action broker treated an unreadable operator lock as unlocked:
isResourceRemediationLocked returned (false, nil) with no audit store
wired, and the caller logged store errors then dispatched anyway. An
operator's NeverAutoRemediate=true could be silently ignored whenever
the policy store was missing or erroring, which is unacceptable while
Patrol and Assistant run at assisted or full autonomy.
Posture change at the dispatch decision point:
- isResourceRemediationLocked now reports unknown state (nil store or
lookup failure) as an ErrRemediationLockStateUnknown-wrapped error
instead of silently defaulting to unlocked.
- New checkRemediationLockForDispatch gate: dispatches without an
approved human decision fail CLOSED on unknown lock state and
surface "remediation lock state unknown; operator approval
required". Human-approved dispatches keep the historical fail-open
behavior with a warning log. A confirmed lock still refuses even
approved dispatches, as before.
- executeNativeActionWithAudit (TrueNAS app start/stop/restart) now
enforces the lock too; it previously skipped the check entirely.
- Refusals persist Failed audit records with stable
remediation_lock_state_unknown: / resource_remediation_locked:
ErrorMessage prefixes.
- ai-runtime subsystem contract updated to pin the new posture.
Tests cover store-error and nil-store at both autonomy postures on
both dispatch paths; routing/control tests now wire an in-memory
audit store since autonomous dispatch without one is refused.
The in-app updater and the unattended timer both target the public
rcourtman/Pulse community assets, so a Pro install that used them was
silently downgraded to community. Guard 2 (983a89326) blocked in-app
apply on the Pro edition, which stopped the downgrade but left Pro
installs with no update path except manual portal downloads. That
friction is a plausible driver of the runtime split: as of 2026-07-08
only 10 of 66 active paid licenses have any Pro-runtime install.
Root fix: the compiled Pro binary now checks and applies updates
through the license server download broker (GET /v1/downloads/pulse-pro
with the installation token and instance fingerprint). The check
compares against the broker's pinned private release instead of GitHub,
respecting the stable/rc channel guard. Apply re-resolves fresh signed
R2 URLs at apply time, verifies the archive against the same pinned
pulse-installer SSHSIG key plus the broker manifest sha256, and refuses
GitHub-shaped download URLs outright. An unactivated Pro binary still
refuses with the portal fallback. The community edition path is
unchanged.
The update banner restores in-app apply for auto-updatable Pro
deployments and keeps the portal instructions for deployments the
updater cannot drive (Docker). scripts/pulse-auto-update.sh now skips
when the installed binary reports Pulse Pro so the unattended timer can
never reinstall community over Pro.
Note: internal/updates/pro_update.go and manager_pro_update_test.go for
this change landed one commit early inside 313552deb via a parallel
session committing a shared staged index; this commit completes the
wiring they belong to.
GrantClaims and Claims gain a MaxUsers seat limit mirroring MaxGuests:
the grant JWT claim is copied at the activation bridge and surfaced
through EffectiveLimits()["max_users"], which the already-shipped
user-limit enforcement (MaxUsersLimitFromLicense) reads unchanged.
Inert by default: no plan sets max_users yet, so absent claim = 0 =
unlimited for every existing license and grant. The self-hosted
commercial volume scrub strips only max_monitored_systems and
max_guests; tests now pin that max_users survives it from both the
named field and explicit limits, plus the end-to-end proof that a grant
carrying max_users=3 enforces 3 and a grant without it stays unlimited.
Contract shape recorded in cloud-paid Extension Point 26; the grant
wire contract list gains max_users against the relay-server reference
(pulse-pro 95a18bd).
TierBusiness: Pro's feature set, 365-day history retention, uncapped
core monitoring like every self-hosted tier, Business display name, and
a slot in the min-tier ordering. Differentiation is by max_users limit,
retention, and support rather than features (multi-user is already a Pro
capability via RBAC; see specs/pricing-segmentation.md binder findings).
Dormant until the license server issues business plan versions; no
checkout, pricing, or UI surface references it yet. Contract shape
recorded as cloud-paid Extension Point 26 and pinned by
TestBusinessTierContractShape.
1c38d7993 replaced 17-recovery-layout.spec.ts with
17-proxmox-backups-layout.spec.ts but the storage-recovery registry
entry still named the old file, which broke the registry audit for
every subsequent governance-audited commit.
The weekly release-dry-run schedule failed at 'Resolve rehearsal
metadata' because GitHub does not apply workflow_dispatch input
defaults to schedule events, so rollback_version arrived empty and
resolve_release_promotion.py rejected the run.
Scheduled runs now pass --derive-rollback-latest-stable, which fills
an empty rollback_version with the latest stable tag preceding the
rehearsal version (currently v6.0.4 for 6.0.5-rc.3). Manual dispatches
keep the explicit rollback_version requirement; the stale prefilled
5.1.29 default is removed so operators state the target themselves.
The deployment-installability contract records the scoped scheduled
exception.
Commit 346ba81ed rewrote the per-platform connection specs against the
consolidated Connected systems workspace but left the old spec paths in
RA20 evidence and two registry.json proof lists, failing release_ready.
Point them at the renamed workspace specs.
Commit 005100432 retired the unified-route e2e specs but left two
status.json evidence entries pointing at deleted files, failing
repo_ready and RA20. Re-point them at the surviving coverage the
retirement commit named: refresh resilience via the ported Proxmox
workloads stability spec, and TrueNAS workload surfaces via the
platform pages shell spec.
The in-app updater and install.sh both fetch the public community build from
github.com/rcourtman/Pulse. On non-Docker Pro installs (systemd, proxmoxve,
source) the "Apply Update" button was live, so applying an update replaced the
separately compiled Pro binary with community and silently stripped Audit,
RBAC, Reporting, and SSO from a paying customer. Docker was already blocked;
nothing else was.
Add a dependency-free pkg/edition marker (defaults to community) that the Pro
binary flips via enterpriseruntime.Initialize, mirroring the existing
coreaudit.SetLogger / server.SetBusinessHooks registration seam. ApplyUpdate
now refuses when the edition is Pro, pointing at the Private Release Access
portal (https://pulserelay.pro/download.html) and the install.sh --archive
path. The gate keys off the compiled binary, not license state: a community
binary with an active license still self-updates as before.
The update banner hides the in-app apply affordance and shows portal
instructions for the Pro runtime, keyed off the existing runtime-identity
signal (runtime.build) rather than a new payload field, so nothing extra is
plumbed through the version API and the frontend reuses the canonical
"which binary am I" contract. The backend gate is the hard guarantee; the
banner is the UX layer.
Guard 2 of the Pro download/update experience spec.
Every state update rebuilds the resource registry from scratch, which
reconstructs all relationship edges with fresh ObservedAt/LastSeenAt
stamps and fresh metadata maps. recordRegistryChanges compared the old
and new slices with reflect.DeepEqual, so every relationship-bearing
resource emitted a relationship_change row on every rebuild cycle even
when nothing changed. On the public demo this wrote roughly 450k rows
per day (1.2M of 1.6M rows were literal from==to no-ops), grew
unified_resources.db to 1.6GB in three days, starved the store's single
connection until retention pruning failed with SQLITE_BUSY, and drove
the droplet into the swap-thrash outage on 2026-07-08. Same mechanism
as issue #1496.
Compare relationship sets by edge identity instead: canonical source,
canonical target, type, and active state, order-insensitive. Volatile
provenance fields no longer count as change.
Also cap resource_changes at 200k rows during retention pruning so a
pathological writer can never grow the table unbounded inside the
30-day retention window, and record both invariants in the
unified-resources subsystem contract.
The RC3 memory bound for PBS backup polling summarized any group with
more than 8 snapshots into a single synthesized entry built from group
metadata. A synthesized entry has no verification, size, file, or
per-snapshot time data, so most real deployments saw every backup as
Unverified with no size, PBS files not listed, and a backup timeline
collapsed onto the latest backup day.
Keep the issue #1524 memory bounds but derive them from real data:
always fetch snapshots for stale groups, retain the newest bounded set
per group (limit raised from 8 to 100 to cover real keep policies), and
keep the newest-first global live-state cap. Remove the synthesized
group placeholder path entirely and update the monitoring subsystem
contract and tests to pin real-snapshot bounding.
