Switch from mattn/go-sqlite3 (CGO) to modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go)
for auth, audit, and notification queue storage. This enables SQLite
functionality on arm64 Docker images which are built with CGO_ENABLED=0.
Related to #1140
Fixes#1091 - addresses all three documentation issues reported:
1. Binary path: Changed from /usr/local/bin/pulse-agent (which doesn't
exist in the main image) to /opt/pulse/bin/pulse-agent-linux-amd64
2. PULSE_AGENT_ID: Added to example and documented why it's required
for DaemonSets (prevents token conflicts when all pods share one
API token)
3. Resource visibility flags: Added PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_PODS and
PULSE_KUBE_INCLUDE_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS to example, with explanation
of the default behavior (show only problematic resources)
Also added tolerations, resource requests/limits, and ARM64 note.
- Replace barrel import in AuditLogPanel.tsx to fix ad-blocker crash
- Remove all Enterprise/Pro badges from nav and feature headers
- Simplify upgrade CTAs to clean 'Upgrade to Pro' links

- Align terminology: single Pro tier, no separate Enterprise tier
Also includes prior refactoring:
- Move auth package to pkg/auth for enterprise reuse
- Export server functions for testability
- Stabilize CLI tests
- Fix TestMonitor_PollGuestSnapshots_Coverage by correctly initializing State ID fields
- Improve PBS client to handle alternative datastore metric fields (total-space, etc.)
- Add comprehensive test coverage for PBS polling, auth failures, and datastore metrics
- Add various coverage tests for monitoring, alerts, and metadata handling
- Refactor Monitor to support better testing of client creation and auth handling
- Implement 'Show Problems Only' toggle combining degraded status, high CPU/memory alerts, and needs backup filters
- Add 'Investigate with AI' button to filter bar for problematic guests
- Fix dashboard column sizing inconsistencies between bars and sparklines view modes
- Fix PBS backups display and polling
- Refine AI prompt for general-purpose usage
- Fix frontend flickering and reload loops during initial load
- Integrate persistent SQLite metrics store with Monitor
- Fortify AI command routing with improved validation and logging
- Fix CSRF token handling for note deletion
- Debug and fix AI command execution issues
- Various AI reliability improvements and command safety enhancements
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.

Implements DNS caching using rs/dnscache to dramatically reduce DNS query
volume for frequently accessed Proxmox hosts. Users were reporting 260,000+
DNS queries in 37 hours for the same hostnames.
Changes:
- Added rs/dnscache dependency for DNS resolution caching
- Created pkg/tlsutil/dnscache.go with DNS cache wrapper
- Updated HTTP client creation to use cached DNS resolver
- Added DNSCacheTimeout configuration option (default: 5 minutes)
- Made DNS cache timeout configurable via:
- system.json: dnsCacheTimeout field (seconds)
- Environment variable: DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT (duration string)
- DNS cache periodically refreshes to prevent stale entries
Benefits:
- Reduces DNS query load on local DNS servers by ~99%
- Reduces network traffic and DNS query log volume
- Maintains fresh DNS entries through periodic refresh
- Configurable timeout for different network environments
Default behavior: 5-minute cache timeout with automatic refresh
Windows Host Agent Enhancements:
- Implement native Windows service support using golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc
- Add Windows Event Log integration for troubleshooting
- Create professional PowerShell installation/uninstallation scripts
- Add process termination and retry logic to handle Windows file locking
- Register uninstall endpoint at /uninstall-host-agent.ps1
Host Agent UI Improvements:
- Add expandable drawer to Hosts page (click row to view details)
- Display system info, network interfaces, disks, and temperatures in cards
- Replace status badges with subtle colored indicators
- Remove redundant master-detail sidebar layout
- Add search filtering for hosts
Technical Details:
- service_windows.go: Windows service lifecycle management with graceful shutdown
- service_stub.go: Cross-platform compatibility for non-Windows builds
- install-host-agent.ps1: Full Windows installation with validation
- uninstall-host-agent.ps1: Clean removal with process termination and retries
- HostsOverview.tsx: Expandable row pattern matching Docker/Proxmox pages
Files Added:
- cmd/pulse-host-agent/service_windows.go
- cmd/pulse-host-agent/service_stub.go
- scripts/install-host-agent.ps1
- scripts/uninstall-host-agent.ps1
- frontend-modern/src/components/Hosts/HostsOverview.tsx
- frontend-modern/src/components/Hosts/HostsFilter.tsx
The Windows service now starts reliably with automatic restart on failure,
and the uninstall script handles file locking gracefully without requiring reboots.
Introduces granular permission scopes for API tokens (docker:report, docker:manage, host-agent:report, monitoring:read/write, settings:read/write) allowing tokens to be restricted to minimum required access. Legacy tokens default to full access until scopes are explicitly configured.
Adds standalone host agent for monitoring Linux, macOS, and Windows servers outside Proxmox/Docker estates. New Servers workspace in UI displays uptime, OS metadata, and capacity metrics from enrolled agents.
Includes comprehensive token management UI overhaul with scope presets, inline editing, and visual scope indicators.
The name "temp-proxy" implied a temporary or incomplete implementation. The new name better reflects its purpose as a secure sensor data bridge for containerized Pulse deployments.
Changes:
- Renamed cmd/pulse-temp-proxy/ to cmd/pulse-sensor-proxy/
- Updated all path constants and binary references
- Renamed environment variables: PULSE_TEMP_PROXY_* to PULSE_SENSOR_PROXY_*
- Updated systemd service and service account name
- Updated installation, rotation, and build scripts
- Renamed hardening documentation
- Maintained backward compatibility for key removal during upgrades
