Pulse v0.1.3-beta

Pre-release completing the System Health quality milestone (GPU → Network ETW → Hardware → Timeline → Diagnostics → UX).

Built from commits 15dae7b … e11ce3f on top of 0.1.2-beta.

Highlights

GPU (Phase 1)

• WDDM version and PCI location via D3DKMT; PCIe link via SetupAPI when available
• Video Processing engine util; process VRAM from PDH GPU Process Memory
• Inventory-grouped GPU process list (real names/icons), sorted by GPU %
• D3DKMT temp/fan/power % / clocks when the driver returns non-zero values
• Resizable BAR and absolute watts remain Not supported

Network (Phase 2)

• Overview unchanged (adapter identity, rates, Wi‑Fi)
• Per-process upload/download/total via Pulse-owned ETW session PulseHealthNet (ADR-009)
• If ETW cannot start under LocalService, rates stay — (never invented)

Hardware (Phase 3)

• NVMe/SSD temperature and SMART health via Storage IOCTLs when Windows exposes them
• CPU package temperature / motherboard fans remain Not supported without public Win32 APIs

Timeline (Phase 4)

• Multi-channel Event Log snapshot/live (System, Application, Setup, Update, PnP, Thermal, Boot; Security if readable)
• Expanded Microsoft-documented intelligence/humanizer rules (crash, power, service, update, device, storage)
• Category filters in the UI; search / severity / JSON export retained

Diagnostics (Phase 5)

• Service executable path, build version, git commit, SHA256, SCM state
• IPC throughput; collector/ETW status; Flutter FPS / frame timings / RSS

UX (Phase 6)

• Overflow, empty/loading states, tooltips, hit targets, Semantics, Timeline virtualization

Install

1. Download Pulse-Setup-0.1.3-beta-windows-x64.exe
2. Run as administrator (UAC)
3. Confirm Connected / Live, then open System Health and Timeline

Known limits

• Not code-signed (SmartScreen may warn)
• Per-process network requires a successful ETW session
• CPU package sensors and GPU watts / ReBAR remain Not supported
• Security channel often inaccessible under LocalService

Artifacts
