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.
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.
Empty allowedGroups, allowedDomains, allowedEmails, groupsClaim and
groupRoleMappings in a provider PUT were silently restored from the
existing config, so an admin could never clear them. The guards
shielded against lossy round-trips that no longer exist: the detail
GET and the flat list response both carry these fields, so an empty
value is an intentional clear. Nested OIDC/SAML config and the client
secret stay preserved since toggle payloads omit them and secrets are
never echoed in reads.
Also expose groupsClaim and groupRoleMappings in the shared extensions
list response so the enterprise list matches the core one, and make
the Settings enable/disable toggle send only writable fields; the old
list-item spread included computed response fields that the enterprise
strict PUT decoder rejects.

- persist scoped workloads status filters across platform navigation
- derive host memory pressure from available memory
- reapply system settings after every monitor reload path
- bound PBS backup snapshot polling workers during large backup scans
When a monitor reload was triggered by node auto-registration, the
reloadFunc in server.go recreated the monitor (and its notification
manager) but never re-applied system settings. The new notification
manager started with an empty webhook private CIDR allowlist, causing
webhook notifications to private IPs to fail until the allowlist was
manually re-saved in Settings.
Fix: call router.ReloadSystemSettings() at the end of reloadFunc,
after the new monitor references are set. This re-applies all
persisted system settings — including the webhook CIDR allowlist —
to the freshly created notification manager.

The Tailscale system extension on macOS applies an NECP policy that captures
the Pulse process outbound Go TCP connections, routing them through utun4.
RFC 1918 addresses (192.168.0.x) fail with EHOSTUNREACH; Tailscale CGNAT
addresses (100.x.x.x) work normally. exec.Command subprocesses bypass NECP.
Add a subprocessConn type (subprocess_conn.go) that wraps nc stdin/stdout
as a net.Conn with real deadline enforcement (closes the connection on
timeout). Modify DialContextWithCache (dnscache.go) to route RFC 1918
addresses through the subprocess relay on macOS, while Tailscale IPs and
public IPs continue using the normal dialer.
Result: pbs-docker and pi Proxmox/PBS nodes now connect at the transport
layer. Remaining pi poll timeouts are caused by a pre-existing server-side
reverse DNS lookup delay (3s per HTTPS request); fix is NO_RESOLVE=1 in
/etc/default/pveproxy on each Proxmox node.
NewRestrictedOutboundHTTPClient validates target IPs via a custom
DialContext, but when an HTTP proxy is configured (HTTP_PROXY env var)
DialContext only validates the proxy's address — the actual target host
is never checked. This allows requests to cloud metadata service
addresses (169.254.169.254) and other blocked IPs through the proxy.
Add a restrictedRoundTripper wrapper that validates the request URL
hostname against resolvePermittedOutboundIP before forwarding. This
provides defense-in-depth that works regardless of proxy configuration,
while the existing DialContext guard continues to prevent DNS rebinding
for direct connections.

f62f35e24 restored the v5 used | cache | free memory split for Proxmox
nodes and guests, but standalone host agents still reported a flat
used/free pair, so the Machines page memory bar could not show the
reclaimable segment. Flagged by the Machines page v5 parity audit.
- Host agent reports cacheBytes (gopsutil Available minus Free); the
ZFS ARC adjustment recomputes free so used + cache + free still
covers the total.
- ApplyHostReport maps the field into models.Memory.Cache and clamps
inconsistent or older-agent reports so used + cache never exceeds
total.
- AgentMemoryMeta carries cache onto unified resources so the frontend
agent payload exposes it.
- Mock generic hosts split a third of non-used pages as cache, and the
node-linked host conversion now holds the invariant instead of
stacking the node's cache on top of a recomputed free.
- Contracts: monitoring, unified-resources, and storage-recovery now
document the split (also covering the f62f35e24 node/guest surface,
which landed without contract deltas).
A full local go test run on 2026-06-11 failed pkg/metrics while vite
builds were saturating the machine. Reproduced under synthetic 8-core
load: only the TestSLO_* wall-clock p95 assertions failed, never the
functional tests. A latency budget measured on a shared dev machine
cannot distinguish host contention from a code regression; load storms
inflated medians up to ~4x with no code change, so no absolute
threshold separates the two.
Route the latency SLO assertions (pkg/metrics, internal/api,
internal/monitoring) and the load/stress perf assertions (internal/api)
through helpers that keep strict enforcement on GitHub Actions runners
(controlled environment, existing hosted-runner envelopes unchanged)
and skip locally on overrun, printing the full p50/p95/p99
distribution in the skip message. A local pass still means the budget
was genuinely met. Error-response and correctness checks remain hard
failures. CI -race runs are unaffected: these tests already skip under
the race detector.
Verified: pkg/metrics, internal/api, and internal/monitoring all pass
with 8 CPU burners saturating the host, the scenario that previously
turned TestSLO_RollupTierBatchedFleet and four other budget tests red.
Two silent-downgrade paths in the v5→v6 migration are now visible and
self-healing:
License load/decrypt failure (was: one log line, no UI state): when
license.enc exists but cannot be read, getTenantComponents now persists
a terminal commercial_migration state with reason
persisted_license_unreadable, so the licence panel and global banner
tell the customer to re-enter their v5 key instead of leaving them to
discover missing Pro features.
Failed startup exchange (was: once per process, Community until manual
restart): exchange failures classified as pending — license-server
blips, DNS failures, rate limits — now schedule a background retry loop
with backoff (30s → 30m cap) that re-attempts the exchange until it
succeeds, hits a terminal classification, or the org's service activates
through another path. The loop stops cleanly on manual activation and
StopAllBackgroundLoops.
Registers the new files in the subsystem registry (cloud-paid
commercial-migration verification policy + shared ownership) and pins
both behaviors in the cloud-paid and api-contracts contracts.
v5.0.0 derived the license.enc AES key as sha256("pulse-license-" +
material) where material was the raw /etc/machine-id file content —
trailing newline included — with hostname and a fixed dev fallback as
alternates. v6 trims machine-id before hashing and dropped both
fallbacks, so licenses activated on v5.0.0 (before .license-key shipped
in v5.0.1) could never be decrypted and the December 2025 lifetime
cohort silently booted as Community.
Collect the raw v5 key materials at construction and try them verbatim
as legacy sha256 candidates during decrypt, alongside the existing
trimmed HKDF/legacy derivations. The write path is unchanged: persistent
random key + HKDF only. Pins the cloud-paid persistence contract to the
full v5.0.x compatibility-loader material set.
Go half of the licensing-policy client work from the v6 upgrade sweep
(license findings 5 and 6); the copy and docs landed in 3a51429a5 and
the license-server side lands in pulse-pro.
The grant refresh loop treated every HTTP 401 as revocation and wiped
the licence and activation file immediately, but the server returns 401
for token-not-found and token-expired as well as revocation, so a
single spurious 401 dropped a paying customer to Community until a
successful re-exchange. Activation state is now cleared only when the
401 carries an explicit revocation code (TOKEN_REVOKED,
INSTALLATION_REVOKED, LICENSE_REVOKED); any other 401 keeps the licence
and retries, letting the grant's 72h expiry plus the 7-day grace window
govern degradation. The bump_license_version immediate-refresh path in
the revocation poller had the same any-401 wipe and gets the same
guard.
ClassifyLegacyExchangeError now maps a 409 MAX_INSTALLATIONS exchange
error to failed/exchange_installation_limit with the
free_installation_slot action instead of the retryable
pending/exchange_conflict state, since retrying can never succeed until
a slot is freed server-side. Other 409s keep the pending conflict
semantics.

Two regressions surfaced by generating a real-mode agent report after a
backend restart:
- Report subject lookups used Monitor.GetUnifiedResources (the raw
resource store), but the raw store's canonical IDs depend on per-boot
ingest order for merged-source hosts: after a restart the same host
resolved to a different agent-<hash> than the one the UI and
/api/state advertise, so reports lost the resource name, availability,
and metrics translation entirely. Subject enrichment now reads
Monitor.UnifiedResourceSnapshot and MetricsTargetForResource resolves
through GetUnifiedReadStateOrSnapshot first (raw store as fallback) -
the same re-ingested registry every other read surface uses.
- The performance summary card grid positions cards absolutely and never
paginated: an agent host reporting 8+ metric families walked off the
page bottom, fought fpdf's auto page break, and scattered one orphan
element per page (a 7-day delly report rendered 18 pages, ten of them
near-blank). The grid now starts a new page before a row that will not
fit; the same report renders 9 pages with intact cards.
Verified live: real-mode delly report shows name, 288 data points,
availability, charts, and correctly paginated cards. The underlying
canonical-ID instability (raw store vs re-ingested view, and the
resource_changes journal fragmenting across boot eras) is a separate
root issue tracked for its own fix.
Mock mode seeded rich in-memory chart history but passed a nil store to the
seeder and the live tick, so the sqlite metrics store held almost nothing:
vmware/truenas/docker resources got one row per poll from the platform
ingestion paths and mock Proxmox guests got nothing at all (the unified sync
skips every resource in mock mode). Performance reports rendered
"Data Points: 0" for PVE guests and "Samples: 1" elsewhere, with no charts.
Re-enable store seeding behind an explicit PULSE_MOCK_SEED_METRICS_STORE
opt-in that scripts/hot-dev.sh and scripts/toggle-mock.sh export exactly
where they point PULSE_DATA_DIR at the isolated tmp/mock-data dir. Without
the opt-in (a production install flipping PULSE_MOCK_MODE on its real data
dir) the store stays untouched, which is what the old nil guard protected.
Replace the dormant dense seeding policy (every in-memory timestamp written
to both hourly and daily tiers, ~11M rows at current fixture scale) with
tier-correct backfill driven by the deterministic mock.SampleMetric runtime:
daily 30d at 4h spacing, hourly 7d at 2h, minute 24h at 15m, raw left to the
live tick (now also store-connected under the opt-in). Timestamps sit on the
spacing grid and a new Store.MaxTimestampsForTier coverage query fills only
the gap since the previous boot, so restarts neither duplicate rows nor
re-pay the seed: a fresh seed wrote 264,960 rows in 8.4s (71MB) and a
restart wrote only the gap plus fixture series whose mock IDs are not
boot-stable (k8s pod names, ceph FSID, a pre-existing generator defect).
Verified live in mock mode: 30-day PDF reports for a mock PVE VM
(checkout-web-01), a vSphere VM, the TrueNAS host, and a Docker container
now show 1260/1260/1260/540 data points with rendered time-series charts.
A design-partner review of real output called the PDFs out as thin, and
the page renders agreed: fleet reports spent one nearly blank A4 page
per resource, metric cards showed raw store keys with unformatted
values ('diskread 880000.00'), and value cells overlapped the adjacent
column for long readings.
- Fleet per-resource blocks now flow several to a page with separators,
breaking only when the next block will not fit (a 6-resource report
drops from 8 pages to 3); each block gains an availability line
- Rate metrics get display names and humane units (Disk Read 859.38
KiB/s instead of diskread 880000.00); byte units are self-describing
so the old +unit suffix no longer renders '12.00 GiBbytes'
- Metric card stat columns use bounded cells so long values cannot run
under the Avg/Samples labels
- Single reports merge Resource Details and Performance Summary onto a
shared page when they fit instead of stranding a third of a page of
content on each of two pages
Verified by regenerating branded fleet and single reports and reviewing
every rendered page.
Performance reports answered 'what were the averages' but never 'was my
infrastructure up' - the question a managed-service client reads a
monthly report for. Reports now carry an Availability summary derived
from the recorded resource change timeline (state_transition entries
keyed by the canonical unified ID):
- uptime percent over the observed portion of the window, outage count,
total downtime, and longest outage, rendered in the executive summary
with an explicit semantics note; fleet summaries gain a per-resource
Uptime column and CSV exports gain availability header lines
- absent/unknown spans are unobserved time: excluded from the uptime
math entirely and disclosed as coverage, never counted as downtime.
The journal records a registry absence for every monitor restart, so
treating gaps as outages would invent fleet-wide downtime every time
the operator restarts Pulse
- warning states count as up (the resource is reachable and serving);
the uptime label clamps rounding so any real downtime can never
display as a clean 100%
- resources with no timeline render no availability section at all
rather than a fabricated number
Verified live against a real 7-day window: uptime/outage/downtime
figures reconcile with the raw resource_changes journal.
Free-form strings entering the PDF generator (AI narrative prose, resource
names, alert messages, brand display names) were written to fpdf core fonts
as raw UTF-8, and the cp1252-decoding fonts rendered em dashes and curly
quotes as mojibake. Generate and GenerateMulti now run every string field
reachable from ReportData/MultiReportData through fpdf's cp1252 translator
once before rendering, so write sites stay encoding-free. The translator is
built per call: fpdf's closure reuses an internal buffer and the generator
is shared across concurrent requests. Runes outside cp1252 degrade to '.'.
Tests render AI-shaped narratives with em dashes and curly quotes for both
the single-resource and fleet paths and assert the extracted content
streams decode without mojibake.
Performance reports were structurally disconnected from the v6 ID
space: the UI (and any API caller working from /api/state) addresses
resources by canonical unified ID, while the metrics store is keyed by
each platform's native source ID (the resource's metricsTarget). The
engine queried the store with the unified ID verbatim, so every report
rendered 'Data Points: 0' regardless of how much history existed, and
covers showed raw hash IDs a report reader cannot map to a machine.
- MetricReportRequest gains MetricsResourceID: handlers resolve the
unified ID through the tenant monitor's resource store (new
Monitor.MetricsTargetForResource accessor; the registry computes
targets on demand, they are not persisted on snapshot structs) and
the engine uses it for store queries only. Recovery points and
Patrol findings stay keyed by the unified ID.
- Legacy snapshot models and their alerts are keyed by the metrics
target ID, so enrichment now matches either ID space and resource
names/status resolve again on covers, headers, and fleet rows.
- Fleet summaries mirror the single-report guard: zero data points
across the fleet renders a muted NO DATA card instead of a green
HEALTHY 'All systems operating normally' - false reassurance is the
worst failure mode for a client-facing stability report.
- Em dashes in PDF-bound literals become hyphens; fpdf core fonts are
cp1252 and rendered them as mojibake.
In dev/demo builds HasFeature returned the implicit dev grant verdict
unconditionally, so features excluded from that grant (white_label,
multi_user, unlimited, env-gated multi_tenant) were denied even when an
explicitly activated, signature-verified license carried them - while
/api/license/status reported them active from the same claims. That
inconsistency made branded report rendering impossible to exercise in
dev builds. Excluded features now fall through to real entitlement
evaluation, so an activated license behaves the same in dev as in
release builds; the no-license dev posture is unchanged.
Provider-hosted MSP client workspaces previously sat at Community tier
forever: the runtime refreshed leases against the built-in Pulse Cloud URL
(hibernated, 522) instead of the provider control plane, and release-build
images verify leases only against the embedded Pulse key, which an
operator-generated CP_TRIAL_ACTIVATION_PRIVATE_KEY can never satisfy.
- Inject PULSE_PRO_TRIAL_SIGNUP_URL=CP_BASE_URL into client containers so
lease refresh targets the provider control plane.
- Chain trust through the Pulse-signed provider MSP license: the license
binds the provider's lease signing public key
(entitlement_signing_public_key claim); the control plane embeds the
license in every lease (provider_license claim); release-build runtimes
verify embedded Pulse root -> provider license -> lease signature.
- Cap chain-verified leases at ProviderChainedLeaseCapabilities: MSP tier
plus white_label (branded per-client reports), minus Pulse-service-backed
relay/mobile_app/push_notifications, which otherwise loop doomed
registrations against Pulse's relay.
- Fail fast at control-plane startup when the license does not bind the
configured signing key, instead of provisioning silently unlicensed
client workspaces.
Verified live on a Colima harness: release-tagged tenant image with test
embedded root, Traefik TLS, full provider-msp proof, tenant reports
valid=true plan_version=msp_growth with white_label and zero relay
failures.
Clears the dupl pairs outside internal/api:
- internal/alerts/pmg.go: the total/deferred/hold per-node queue checks
share evaluatePMGNodeQueueAlert; the historical short-circuit (a
below-threshold clear or invalid spec skips the node's remaining
checks) is preserved via the helper's skip-node return.
- internal/vmware/provider.go: the cloneInventory* family rides generic
cloneSliceWith / cloneShallowSlice helpers instead of fourteen copies
of the same nil/make/loop scaffold.
- internal/vmware/client.go + client_signals.go: the byte-identical
Automation and VI/JSON fetchers delegate to one getSessionScopedJSON.
- internal/vmware/fixtures.go: added to the dupl exclude list in
.golangci.yml — literal mock fixture catalogs are the same category as
the existing internal/mock/ exclusion.
- pkg/licensing/license_server_client.go: Activate and
ExchangeLegacyLicense share postActivationRequest (idempotent POST +
shared activation response decode).
- pkg/proxmox/client.go: LXC/VM RRD fetches share getGuestRRDData.
- pkg/pulsecli/actions.go is intentionally left for the api-contracts
slice.
Full test suites pass for internal/alerts, internal/vmware,
pkg/licensing, pkg/proxmox.
golangci-lint run ./... failed on ~190 pre-existing errcheck violations and
5 unformatted files, burying any new regression in noise. Fix all of them:
- Test files that hand-rolled mock-mode set/restore (vmware, truenas, and
friends) now use the canonical setMockModeForTest/testutil.SetMockMode
helper instead of drift copies that ignored SetEnabled errors.
- internal/mock and internal/monitoring tests get package-local
mustSetEnabled/mustSetMockEnabled/mustSetMonitorMockMode helpers that
fail the test on toggle errors.
- pkg/auth/sqlite_manager.go, pkg/metrics/store.go, pkg/server/server.go:
rollbacks in defers use the explicit-discard idiom, migration renames and
rollup commits log failures, the hosted reaper goroutine logs an error
exit, shutdown mock-disable logs failures.
- Remaining test sites check errors with t.Fatalf/t.Errorf or explicitly
discard best-effort calls (restore-chmods, handler-closure unmarshals)
per existing repo style.
- gofmt: internal/api/maintenance_verification.go, internal/ai/demo.go and
three findings test files.
Only dupl findings remain (44 pre-existing production-code duplication
pairs) — those need real refactors, not mechanical fixes.
Full test suites pass for every touched package.
Follow-up to 2b8ce06c0: that commit's contract update states reclaim skips
the WAL checkpoint entirely when the freelist is empty, but the prior commit
captured the pre-refinement store.go (the re-stage was lost to a .git/index.lock
race). Make the code match the contract: return early on a freelist_count read
error and when freelist == 0, so a steady-state no-op cycle does not run an
extra hourly wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE).
runRetention reclaimed only PRAGMA incremental_vacuum(5000) (~20MB) and
only when that hourly cycle deleted rows. On instances where an hourly
retention pass frees more than 5000 pages, the freelist grows net-positive
every cycle and the sqlite file bloats unboundedly (5GB+ of free pages over
~60MB of live data) even though row retention works. This is the documented
'50+ resources -> 5GB+' symptom the 5000-page batch was meant to fix.
Reclaim every cycle (so a pre-existing backlog drains even in a no-delete
hour) and size each reclaim to the current freelist, capped at 50000 pages
(~200MB) so a large backlog drains over several cycles without holding the
write lock for minutes. Skip the checkpoint when the freelist is empty so
steady-state WAL cadence is unchanged.
Surfaced by the demo server (pulse-relay): metrics.db had grown to 5.9GB
(5GB freelist), filling its 25GB disk and breaking the nightly backup.
Adds TestStoreRetentionReclaimsFreePages to the perf-and-scalability proof
set and documents the reclaim invariant in the subsystem contract.
Tighten v5-to-v6 upgrade safety, release installability, provider MSP mode handling, AI cost accounting, metrics flushing, and frontend guardrails for the v6.0.0 GA candidate.
Dead-code sweep. Functions flagged unreachable by golang.org/x/tools/cmd/deadcode
and confirmed unused across pulse, pulse-enterprise, pulse-pro and pulse-mobile by
adversarial cross-repo verification. Cross-module reachability was checked
explicitly (only pkg/ exported symbols are importable by other modules; internal/
packages and _test.go files are not). go build, go vet and test-compile all pass.
