Extend the unified-agent RC rehearsal with an optional local v5-to-v6 process-swap check.
Record the v5.1.34 to v6.0.0-rc.6 proof result for the upgrade-continuity gate.
Adopt replacement managed hot-dev supervisors during listener waits and let mock-mode toggles continue only when the browser entrypoint proves the requested runtime state after a non-clean restart.
Mock and real mode shared tmp/dev-config, so toggling between them left
residue each way: real connections (and a live local agent) showed in
Settings during mock, and mock-cluster alerts lingered in real mode.
The toggle script had an isolation flag but it only reached the
standalone runtime, never managed-hot-dev.
hot-dev.sh now routes mock mode to tmp/mock-data and real mode to
tmp/dev-config, choosing the dir from the canonical PULSE_MOCK_MODE flag
that toggle-mock writes to tmp/dev-config/.env. The flag is read from
that file authoritatively rather than from the environment, because a
stale PULSE_MOCK_MODE exported into the hot-dev supervisor from a prior
mock run would otherwise keep real mode pinned to the mock dir.
toggle-mock status now reports the isolated mock dir for hot-dev
runtimes so it matches what the backend actually uses.
Verified a full round trip: real -> dev-config (real connections only),
mock -> mock-data (mock data only, no real bleed), real -> dev-config
(no mock-cluster residue). Trade-off: real metrics history no longer
accrues during mock UI sessions, which is the right call for clean
dev switching.
The running server serves the unified AGENT installer at its /install.sh
endpoint, which the "Install on Linux" wizard fetches with --url/--token-file.
For published releases handleDownloadInstallScriptCommon only serves the local
/opt/pulse/scripts/install.sh when its .sig and .sshsig sidecars sit next to it;
otherwise it proxies the top-level GitHub install.sh asset. Since 49412357a that
asset is the SERVER installer (LXC/systemd quickstart, --version), so the proxy
now hands the agent wizard a server installer that rejects --url with
"Unknown option".
deploy_agent_scripts copied only the .sh/.ps1 files, never the sidecars, so every
published-release LXC/systemd install always hit the proxy and served the wrong
script. The Docker image already deploys both sidecars (Dockerfile); LXC/systemd
did not. This was latent across rc.1-rc.5 (the proxied asset was the agent
installer then) and surfaced in rc.6 once the asset flipped to the server
installer.
Deploy the .sig/.sshsig sidecars alongside each script so the endpoint serves
the local agent installer and never falls back to the server-installer asset.
Add a behavioral guard that runs deploy_agent_scripts and asserts the sidecars
land next to the served script, and document the served-endpoint sidecar
requirement in the deployment-installability contract.
docker-compose.yml and scripts/install-docker.sh both still pinned
rcourtman/pulse:6.0.0-rc.5. The TestDeploymentDefaultsPinVersionedImagesAndHelmDocsChecksum
/ TestRepoDockerComposeDefaultPinsCurrentVersion / TestInstallDockerScript*
tests in scripts/installtests/ read VERSION (now 6.0.0-rc.6) and
require these install entry points to match.
