Pulse feed

The dashboard's activity stream — what shows up, what each row means, and how to triage it.

The pulse feed is the dashboard tab you'll spend the most time in once your sources are configured. It's a single, chronological stream of three kinds of activity:

  • New releases for sources you track.
  • Lockfile alerts when a tracked source publishes a release that affects packages in your uploaded lockfile.
  • Stale-source notices when a source hasn't published a release in a long time and may be unmaintained.

What each row tells you #

Row typeKey fields
New releaseSource, version tag, release date, risk score, one-line summary.
Lockfile alertSource, your pinned version → new version, severity, the lockfile that triggered.
Stale sourceSource, last release date, suggested action (deactivate or keep).

Click any row to open the detail page — full summary, diff highlights, and the specific signals that drove the score.

Triage workflow #

  1. Scan the high-severity rows first. The pulse feed is sorted by recency, but the High band (70+) is the right place to spend your attention.
  2. For each High row, decide: update, pin around, or wait for a follow-up.
  3. Mark resolved rows by clicking through and acknowledging — they drop off the active feed but stay in the source's history.

Realtime updates #

The feed updates as new analysis completes — no need to refresh. New rows animate in and the unread indicator updates as they land.
