The "Manual systemd install (advanced)" example in docs/INSTALL.md told
users to run `sudo install -m 0755 pulse /usr/local/bin/pulse`, but the
release tarballs extract to ./bin/pulse, not ./pulse. Following the
documented command literally produced "install: cannot stat 'pulse'".
Show the download/extract commands explicitly so users know the tarball
shape, and correct the install path to `bin/pulse`. validate-release.sh
already pins the ./bin/pulse tarball layout, so this is the matching
documentation side of that contract.
The README's secure-install snippet has pinned the wrong ed25519 key
since commit a60fa03d7 (April 22, 2026), so v6 rc.2 through rc.5 all
shipped with a documented verification step that does not work.
I downloaded the published rc.5 install.sh + install.sh.sshsig and
ran ssh-keygen -Y verify with both candidate keys:
Ds21c5... (README's pinned key) -> Could not verify signature
MZd/DaH... (key embedded in install.sh and pulse-auto-update.sh) -> OK
Customers who actually followed the README's secure-install path saw
"Could not verify signature" and aborted. Most users curl-pipe the
script unverified so the drift went unreported.
Replace the stale key in README.md and docs/INSTALL.md with the actual
pipeline signing key (MZd/...).
Add a validate-release.sh smoke that extracts the README's pinned key
and runs the exact ssh-keygen -Y verify command against the signed
install.sh.sshsig. Any future drift between documented key and actual
signing key fails the release before publish.
Lock both the correct-key presence and the stale-key absence in
build_release_assets_test.go for README and docs/INSTALL.md so a manual
edit cannot regress the docs back to the broken state.
The GHCR OCI registry (ghcr.io/rcourtman/pulse-chart) is returning 403/404
errors for unauthenticated users. Updated all Helm references to use the
working GitHub Pages Helm repository at https://rcourtman.github.io/Pulse

The storage deduplication logic only checked cluster config's Shared
flag, but this required the cluster config API call to succeed. When
the per-node storage API already returns shared=1 (as the user
verified), we should use that directly.
Now we check three sources for shared storage detection:
1. Per-node API shared flag (storage.Shared)
2. Cluster config shared flag (if available)
3. Storage type heuristics (NFS, RBD, PBS, etc.)

Add contextual help icons throughout the UI to improve feature
discoverability. Users can click (?) icons to see explanations
with examples for settings they might not understand.
- HelpIcon component with click-to-open popover
- Centralized help content registry in /content/help/
- FeatureTip component for dismissible contextual tips
- Help added to: alert delay, AI endpoints, update channel
Adds IncludeAllDeployments option to show all deployments, not just
problem ones (where replicas don't match desired). This provides parity
with the existing --kube-include-all-pods flag.
- Add IncludeAllDeployments to kubernetesagent.Config
- Add --kube-include-all-deployments flag and PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS env var
- Update collectDeployments to respect the new flag
- Add test for IncludeAllDeployments functionality
- Update UNIFIED_AGENT.md documentation
Addresses feedback from PR #855
The doc claimed a "Restore previous version" button exists in Settings UI,
but this doesn't exist. The rollback API endpoint exists in backend code
but has no UI. Updated to reflect actual behavior: backups are created
during systemd updates and can be restored manually.
Scripts like install.sh and install-sensor-proxy.sh are now attached
as release assets and downloaded from releases/latest/download/ URLs.
This ensures users always get scripts compatible with their installed
version, even while development continues on main.
Changes:
- build-release.sh: copy install scripts to release directory
- create-release.yml: upload scripts as release assets
- Updated all documentation and code references to use release URLs
- Scripts reference each other via release URLs for consistency
Updated the Quick Start for Docker section in TEMPERATURE_MONITORING.md to be
more user-friendly and address common setup issues:
- Added clear explanation of why the proxy is needed (containers can't access hardware)
- Provided concrete IP example instead of placeholder
- Showed full docker-compose.yml context with proper YAML structure
- Added sudo to commands where needed
- Updated docker-compose commands to v2 syntax with note about v1
- Expanded verification steps with clearer success indicators
- Added reminder to check container name in verification commands
These improvements should help users who encounter blank temperature displays
due to missing proxy installation or bind mount configuration.
