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.
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.
Two specific platform-page quality issues from the audit:
1. **/kubernetes/overview only had 1 cluster.** Bumping the K8s cluster
count past 1 had been deferred because the prior
monitor-broadcast equivalence test compared the raw snapshot count
to the broadcast count exactly, and broadcast's
`coalesceBroadcastResources` + second-pass coalesce inside
`convertResourcesForBroadcast` legitimately drops merge candidates
that the raw snapshot keeps. Switch the test to compare against
the canonical snapshot count within a ±5% tolerance so future
fixture bumps stay green without loosening any of the test's
exact-name and exact-identity assertions. With that in place, bump
`K8sClusterCount` 1 → 3 in `internal/mock/generator.go`,
`scripts/toggle-mock.sh`, and the matching
`scripts/tests/test-toggle-mock.sh` so the canonical mock estate
ships with production + staging + edge clusters end-to-end.
Live mock survey: k8s-cluster: 3, k8s-deployment: 42, pod: 120,
plus 15 K8s nodes merged onto their agent hosts.
2. **/vmware/storage looked empty under platform-page chrome.**
`resolveStorageSourceKey` was reading only `storage.type` (the
on-disk technology like `vsan`, `vmfs`, `nfs41`, `zfs-pool`) and
never consulted `storage.platform` (the canonical platform key
like `vmware-vsphere` or `truenas`). Source filter chip options
were therefore generated as `vsan`, `vmfs`, `nfs41`, etc., and
`forcedSourceFilter='vmware-vsphere'` had nothing to match.
Prefer the canonical `storage.platform` tag when set, so VMware
datastores group under `vmware-vsphere`, TrueNAS pools group under
`truenas`, PBS datastores under `proxmox-pbs`, etc., for both the
chip options and the embedded platform-page filter.
Browser verification (Playwright, chromium, live mock-mode dev runtime):
- 9 tests pass.
Targeted vitest:
- `src/features/storageBackups` + `src/utils/__tests__/sourcePlatforms.test.ts` +
`src/components/Storage/__tests__/storageSourceOptions.test.ts` (31
files / 141 tests) green.
Go tests:
- `go test ./internal/mock/... ./internal/monitoring/... ./internal/vmware/...`
all green.
Contracts updated:
- `monitoring.md` Shared Boundaries: new K8s multi-cluster default,
±5% tolerance for the broadcast equivalence assertion.
- `deployment-installability.md` Shared Boundaries: toggle-mock.sh /
DefaultConfig parity updated for the K8sClusterCount=3 baseline.
Mock pages were sparse: 3 Proxmox nodes × 3 VMs × 3 LXCs, 2 Docker
hosts × 5 containers, 1 K8s cluster × 3 nodes × 10 pods × 4
deployments. That populated platform pages with handfuls of rows
rather than table density that exercises sorting, grouping, drawers,
and responsive layout.
Bump `internal/mock/generator.go::DefaultConfig` to target a mature
small-to-mid homelab / SMB environment:
- NodeCount: 3 → 5 (matches the curated demo scenario's pve1..pve5
regional naming)
- VMsPerNode: 3 → 6
- LXCsPerNode: 3 → 8
- DockerHostCount: 2 → 5
- DockerContainersPerHost: 5 → 14
- GenericHostCount: 2 → 4
- K8sClusterCount: 1 (unchanged; the curated demo and broadcast
coalesce tests assume a single cluster identity)
- K8sNodesPerCluster: 3 → 5
- K8sPodsPerCluster: 10 → 40
- K8sDeploymentsPerCluster: 4 → 14
Resource survey under the new defaults (live mock backend):
- TOTAL 307 unique resources (was ~50-100)
- app-container: 75, storage: 55, system-container: 44, pod: 40,
vm: 31, physical_disk: 19, agent: 15, k8s-deployment: 14,
docker-host: 5, network-endpoint: 5, pmg: 2, pbs: 1, k8s-cluster: 1
Platform pages now feel populated under mock mode:
- /docker/overview: 5 hosts (was 2)
- /docker/containers: 75 containers (was 13)
- /kubernetes/nodes: 5 (was 3)
- /kubernetes/pods: 40 (was 10)
- /kubernetes/deployments: 14 (was 4)
`internal/mock/demo_scenarios.go` extended to season `local`,
`local-zfs`, and per-node iso/service-pool storage names for pve6 and
beyond, so future NodeCount bumps don't regress the curated demo into
generic "service-pool" labels (a test guard explicitly forbids that
alias). A new `TestDemoScenarioStorageNamingHandlesScaledNodeCount`
covers the scaled-NodeCount path.
`internal/monitoring/monitor_unified_state_test.go` updated to compare
the broadcast count against the coalesced snapshot count rather than
the raw snapshot count — the broadcast path merges resources that
share a canonical host key (K8s nodes onto linked agent hosts), so
larger fixture sizes legitimately produce more merge candidates, and
the prior raw-equality assertion would have broken on any future
fixture growth too. The test still asserts every canonical name and
mock identity it checked before.
`scripts/toggle-mock.sh` (`mock_default_entries`) and the matching
`scripts/tests/test-toggle-mock.sh` assertions are aligned with the
new defaults so `npm run mock:edit` and per-dev `.env` seeding match
the canonical baseline.
Contracts updated:
- `monitoring.md` Shared Boundaries: records the new DefaultConfig
target sizes and the requirement that demo-scenario seasoning stay
aligned with NodeCount changes.
- `deployment-installability.md` Shared Boundaries: records that
`mock_default_entries()` in toggle-mock.sh must stay aligned with
`internal/mock.DefaultConfig` so CLI/toggle/runtime mock densities
never drift apart.
Targeted Go tests:
- `go test ./internal/mock/...` green
- `go test ./internal/monitoring/...` green
Playwright (chromium, live mock-mode dev runtime):
- 9 tests, all pass; populated assertions now hit dense tables (5
hosts, 14+ containers, 40 pods, etc.).
Known remaining fixture gaps (canonical adapter, not config):
- VMware fixture inventory in `internal/vmware/fixtures.go` is
hardcoded at 4 hosts / 6 VMs / 4 datastores; not scaled in this
commit.
- TrueNAS fixture inventory in `internal/truenas/fixtures.go` is
similarly hardcoded; not scaled in this commit.
