rcourtman b0c4faa4a0 frontend(platforms): drop platform sub-tabs whose canonical projection is missing
Audit pass against the live mock backend (PULSE_MOCK_MODE=true) revealed
three platform sub-tabs that could never populate from canonical
resources today, even with a mature fixture environment:

- Docker > Swarm services: no `docker-service` resource is emitted by
  the unified resource adapter at the /api/resources boundary.
- Kubernetes > Services: no `k8s-service` resource type is defined in
  internal/unifiedresources; only k8s-cluster, k8s-node, pod, and
  k8s-deployment are projected.
- TrueNAS > Hosts: TrueNAS connections produce storage, datasets,
  physical disks, and app-containers but no top-level `agent` row
  tagged with the `truenas` platform.

Per the platform-pages goal ("if a platform lacks enough canonical data
model support to make a useful page even after fixture work, do not
invent speculative UI — report the data-model gap and skip or gate
that surface deliberately"), the three sub-tabs are removed from the
page navigation and the resource queries are tightened to drop the
unused types. TrueNAS now defaults to /truenas/storage as the first
canonical operator entry point.

Kubernetes Nodes now also includes agent rows whose `sources` array
reports `kubernetes`, because the backend registry merges Pulse-Agent-
linked Kubernetes nodes onto the linked agent row. The merged agents
are the canonical projection of K8s nodes when an agent is installed
on them; treating them as Nodes makes the tab populate against mock
mode and live agent fleets alike.

Browser verification (Playwright, chromium, against live mock-mode
Pulse dev runtime):
- 8 tests, all pass. Every declared platform sub-tab now asserts at
  least one canonical row populates under mock mode:
  - docker: /docker/overview (2 hosts), /docker/containers
  - kubernetes: /kubernetes/overview (1 cluster),
    /kubernetes/nodes (3 merged agents), /kubernetes/pods (10),
    /kubernetes/deployments (4)
  - truenas: /truenas/storage (9), /truenas/apps (5)
  - vmware: /vmware/overview (4 ESXi hosts), /vmware/vms (8),
    /vmware/storage (datastores)

Targeted tests:
- dockerPageModel, kubernetesPageModel, truenasPageModel suites
  updated and passing.
- resourceLinks.test.ts asserts the new TrueNAS default sub-tab.

Contracts updated:
- unified-resources.md Extension Points: platform default sub-tab must
  land on a canonical surface that actually populates.
- storage-recovery.md Shared Boundaries: same; calls out TrueNAS
  defaulting to /truenas/storage today.

Remaining canonical data-model gaps (intentionally not surfaced as
empty platform sub-tabs in the UI):
- internal/unifiedresources does not emit `docker-service` resources
  even though mock.generateDockerServicesAndTasks() generates them in
  the StateSnapshot; revisit when adding a docker-service projection.
- internal/unifiedresources does not define ResourceTypeK8sService;
  revisit when k8s-service rows are added to the canonical model.
- internal/unifiedresources does not project a top-level TrueNAS
  system as an `agent` row; revisit when the TrueNAS adapter promotes
  the connection target into a canonical infrastructure row.

📚 Pulse Documentation

Welcome to the Pulse documentation portal. Here you'll find everything you need to install, configure, and master Pulse.


v6 Execution Canonical Source

For Pulse v6 build/release execution work, do not start from this broad docs index. Use:

  1. docs/release-control/v6/internal/SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md for stable human governance and locked decisions
  2. docs/release-control/v6/internal/status.json for live lane state, lane-to-subsystem ownership, structured evidence references, typed lane/subsystem decision records, and canonical ordered lists
  3. docs/release-control/v6/status.schema.json for the machine-readable status contract
  4. docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.json and docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.schema.json for subsystem ownership, explicit shared-ownership exceptions, and proof-routing rules
  5. python3 scripts/release_control/status_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived evidence health audit
  6. python3 scripts/release_control/registry_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem registry audit
  7. python3 scripts/release_control/contract_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem contract audit, including explicit cross-subsystem dependency checks and exact registry-derived shared-boundary wording Local pre-commit runs the v6 machine audits against staged control-file content so partial staging cannot hide governance drift. Local pre-commit also blocks partial staging for hook-sensitive governance files under docs/release-control/v6/, scripts/release_control/, internal/repoctl/, .husky/pre-commit, and .github/workflows/canonical-governance.yml, because those checks still execute or structurally read the working-tree versions locally.
  8. python3 scripts/release_control/subsystem_lookup.py <path> [<path> ...] --pretty --lean if you need subsystem ownership, proof routing, exact contract-focus lines, and compact lane context for a change

For governed runtime changes, a staged subsystem contract only counts if its diff updates a substantive contract section such as Purpose, Canonical Files, Shared Boundaries, Extension Points, Forbidden Paths, Completion Obligations, or Current State, rather than metadata alone.

All other documents are supporting references unless explicitly required for evidence.
