Corrected widespread misinformation claiming API tokens cannot access guest agent data on Proxmox 9.
Changes:
- Rewrote VM_DISK_MONITORING.md with accurate technical explanation
- Deleted VM_DISK_STATS_TROUBLESHOOTING.md (contained false information)
- Updated FAQ.md with correct quick reference and troubleshooting link
- Added comprehensive VM disk troubleshooting section to TROUBLESHOOTING.md
- Fixed README.md troubleshooting reference
- Updated frontend tooltip to show accurate permission requirements
- Corrected backend log messages to remove "known limitation" language
- Updated test-vm-disk.sh diagnostic script with accurate guidance
Key corrections:
- API tokens work fine for guest agent queries on both PVE 8 and 9
- Proxmox API returning disk=0 is normal behavior, not a bug
- Both tokens and passwords work equally well
- Only requirements: guest agent installed + proper permissions
- Permission issues are config problems, not authentication method limitations

The alert acknowledgment endpoints were hanging because GetState() was called
synchronously to broadcast updates via WebSocket, which could take significant
time with many nodes/guests. This caused the HTTP response to timeout, showing
an error to users even though the alert was successfully acknowledged.
Fixed by:
- Sending HTTP response immediately after acknowledging the alert
- Moving WebSocket broadcast to a goroutine to avoid blocking
- Applied fix to all alert endpoints (acknowledge, unacknowledge, clear, bulk ops)
This resolves the issue where users saw 'Failed to acknowledge alert' errors
but the alert was actually acknowledged (disappeared on refresh).
- Skip auth check entirely in App.tsx for development
- Add .env.dev file with DISABLE_AUTH=true and PULSE_MOCK_MODE=true
- Update hot-dev.sh to load .env.dev environment variables
- This ensures the app loads immediately without auth issues

- Now the form properly submits when clicking Change Password
- Ensure disk metrics from /nodes endpoint are preserved when GetNodeStatus fails
- Add better fallback logic to prevent showing 0% or '-' for disk usage
- Improve logging to distinguish between rootfs and /nodes endpoint metrics

'-' when GetNodeStatus failed due to network issues or rate limiting

- Helps quickly identify nodes needing updates
- Extracts just version number from PVE (e.g. 9.0.5)
- Also improved mock mode system for local development
- Add systemd timer for daily update checks (2-6 AM window)
- Create pulse-auto-update.sh script with safe rollback on failure
- Add --enable-auto-updates flag to install script

- Modified monitor to skip polling when mock mode is enabled
- Added CLAUDE.md documentation for future sessions
Note: Mock system initializes but data isn't fully integrated with GetState() yet.
Currently shows mixed real + mock data. Works for UI testing purposes.
Replaced the two-step setup code process with a simpler token-in-URL approach:
- Auth token is now embedded directly in the setup URL
- No more prompting users for setup codes
- Same security level with better UX
- Backwards compatible with old setupCode field
The new flow generates a command like:
curl -sSL "http://pulse/api/setup-script?...&auth_token=TOKEN" | bash
This makes it much easier for users, especially in Proxmox shell where
interactive prompts can be problematic.

- Add development script for frontend rebuilds
- Remove unnecessary frontend directory copying in updater
The embedded frontend change simplifies deployment but required
updates to various build and update systems.
Replaced sudo-based updater with a cleaner directory-based approach:
- Pulse binary now installs to /opt/pulse/bin/pulse (owned by pulse user)
- Symlink created at /usr/local/bin/pulse for PATH convenience
- Pulse user has full write access to /opt/pulse, enabling self-updates
- Removed sudo dependency and security risks
- Simplified update logic - no special scripts or permissions needed
This is more secure, simpler, and works in all environments (containers, VMs, bare metal)
- Created pulse-updater script that runs with sudo to update root-owned binary
- Modified install.sh to set up sudoers permissions for pulse user
- Updated build-release.sh to include scripts directory in releases
- Install script now installs sudo (if missing) and configures NOPASSWD access

and needs to update the binary at /usr/local/bin/pulse
