rcourtman bfc1a81867 feat(alerts): shadow-mode reducer feed with always-on divergence telemetry
Phase 1 capstone of docs/ALERT_ENGINE_EVOLUTION.md. The deterministic
reducer now runs continuously inside the live manager against the same
production observations: the canonical lifecycle path (connectivity,
powered-state, discrete-state kinds) via a deferred hook that replays
each evaluation — including the resolved intent context — through the
reducer; the poll-driven recovery paths (PBS/PMG/storage, node,
connection-degraded); and manual acknowledge/unacknowledge/clear. The
feed seeds from active canonical alerts at enable so restarts do not
read as mass divergence.

Every state disagreement is counted (Manager.ShadowDivergences) and
recorded in the alert event log as a shadow_divergence event with both
engines' states, rate-limited to one report per key per ten minutes.
After each divergence the reducer resyncs to the manager, so one
divergence yields one event — including divergences caused by manager
mutations the feed does not observe. Appends never block evaluation and
a disabled feed is a nil-check no-op.

This converts the parity harnesses' test-time guarantee into an
always-on invariant; the production divergence rate becomes the
go/no-go evidence for each Phase 2 family cutover. The full
activation/ack/recovery/re-fire cycle runs divergence-free in tests.

Pulse documentation

Start here for installation, platform setup, security, operations, and Pulse Intelligence. Commands, configuration keys, image names, API fields, and product identifiers remain untranslated in localized guides.

Start here

  • Install Pulse — signed Proxmox/Linux installation, Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and first-run setup.
  • Production deployment and security — least-privilege Proxmox setup, root-agent boundaries, discovery, supply-chain verification, plan limits, scale evidence, and a rollout checklist.
  • Upgrade from Pulse v5 — migration prerequisites, rollback, agent continuity, and post-upgrade checks.
  • Configure Pulse — authentication, notifications, discovery, retention, and system settings.
  • Deployment models — data locations, lifecycle, and differences between supported deployment paths.
  • Troubleshooting and FAQ — common failures, diagnostics, and operator questions.

Localized getting started guides: Deutsch · Español

Platforms and agents

VMware vSphere support is early access. Current builds expose dedicated vSphere inventory and recovery context, but operators should validate the integration against their own vCenter before production use.

Monitoring and operations

Pulse Intelligence

Patrol watch-only analysis is available on Community with a local model or the operator's own provider. Investigation and governed fixes require the relevant Pulse Pro capabilities.

Security, privacy, and access

Plans and managed access

Pulse Cloud is not generally available. Ordinary self-hosted Pulse remains the primary installation path; MSP and Enterprise access are explicit commercial paths rather than defaults in self-hosted setup.

Development and reference

Detailed design notes and dated migration specifications may remain in this directory for maintainers, but they are not operator setup guides unless they are linked from the sections above.
