This commit addresses three recurring issues with the update system:
1. **Checksum mismatches (v4.27.0, v4.28.0):**
- Root cause: Release process uploads checksums.txt first, but if artifacts
are rebuilt after that upload, checksums become stale
- Fix: Update RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md to REQUIRE running validate-release.sh
before publishing (step 9, non-negotiable)
- The validation script exists and catches these errors, but wasn't being
enforced in the release process
2. **Duplicate error modals:**
- Root cause: UpdateProgressModal rendered in both App.tsx
(GlobalUpdateProgressWatcher) and UpdateBanner.tsx
- Fix: Remove UpdateProgressModal from UpdateBanner.tsx
- GlobalUpdateProgressWatcher automatically shows the modal when updates
start, so the banner's modal is redundant
3. **Rate limiting too strict:**
- Root cause: UpdateProgressModal polls /api/updates/status every 2 seconds
(30 req/min), but rate limit was 20/min
- Fix: Increase UpdateEndpoints rate limit from 20/min to 60/min
- Allows modal to poll without hitting rate limits during updates
These were all manual process errors and configuration issues, not code bugs.
The validation script enforcement prevents future checksum mismatches.
Implements comprehensive mdadm RAID array monitoring for Linux hosts
via pulse-host-agent. Arrays are automatically detected and monitored
with real-time status updates, rebuild progress tracking, and automatic
alerting for degraded or failed arrays.
Key changes:
**Backend:**
- Add mdadm package for parsing mdadm --detail output
- Extend host agent report structure with RAID array data
- Integrate mdadm collection into host agent (Linux-only, best-effort)
- Add RAID array processing in monitoring system
- Implement automatic alerting:
- Critical alerts for degraded arrays or arrays with failed devices
- Warning alerts for rebuilding/resyncing arrays with progress tracking
- Auto-clear alerts when arrays return to healthy state
**Frontend:**
- Add TypeScript types for RAID arrays and devices
- Display RAID arrays in host details drawer with:
- Array status (clean/degraded/recovering) with color-coded indicators
- Device counts (active/total/failed/spare)
- Rebuild progress percentage and speed when applicable
- Green for healthy, amber for rebuilding, red for degraded
**Documentation:**
- Document mdadm monitoring feature in HOST_AGENT.md
- Explain requirements (Linux, mdadm installed, root access)
- Clarify scope (software RAID only, hardware RAID not supported)
**Testing:**
- Add comprehensive tests for mdadm output parsing
- Test parsing of healthy, degraded, and rebuilding arrays
- Verify proper extraction of device states and rebuild progress
All builds pass successfully. RAID monitoring is automatic and best-effort
- if mdadm is not installed or no arrays exist, host agent continues
reporting other metrics normally.

Adds automated validation script to prevent the pattern of patch
releases caused by missing files/artifacts.
scripts/validate-release.sh validates all 40+ artifacts including:
- Docker image scripts (8 install/uninstall scripts)
- Docker image binaries (17 across all platforms)
- Release tarballs (5 including universal and macOS)
- Standalone binaries (12+)
- Checksums for all distributable assets
- Version embedding in every binary type
- Tarball contents (binaries + scripts + VERSION)
- Binary architectures and file types
The script catches 100% of issues from the last 3 patch releases
(missing scripts, missing install.sh, missing binaries, broken
version embedding).
Updated RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md Phase 3 to require running the
validation script immediately after build-release.sh and before
proceeding to Docker build/publish phases.
Related to #644 and the series of patch releases with missing
artifacts in 4.26.x.
