Root cause (code-level)

For a pull-only cluster, buildSingleClusterHealth returns errClusterPullOnly by design, and the hub falls back to heartbeatHealth[clusterID]. That entry is only written when a heartbeat carries cluster_health.

Spoke-side gap: cmd/hive attached ClusterHealth only when the HIVE_CLUSTER_ID env var was set. The payload's cluster_id, which the hub uses as the heartbeatHealth key, comes from the resolved id: hub.cluster_id from hive.yaml, overridden by the env var. A firewalled spoke configured through hive.yaml (hub.cluster_id: vllm-d) therefore heartbeated with cluster_id=vllm-d but never sent node health. The hub had nothing to fall back to and showed 0 nodes plus the red error.

I checked the hub-side key path too. On write, entry.ClusterID comes from the SaaS record's ClusterID, then the payload cluster_id, then defaultClusterID. On read, the registry id is used. The two match in code. heartbeatHealthStaleness only marks entries stale; nothing is evicted. Nothing skips the report when the hive count is 0.

Fix

• Spoke: new heartbeatClusterHealth(clusterID, collect) in boot_seams.go gates collection on the resolved b.cfg.Hub.ClusterID instead of the env var alone. With no cluster id it still sends nothing and doesn't run the collector.
• Hub: when a pull-only cluster has no heartbeat health, it now returns PerClusterHealth{PullOnly, AwaitingHeartbeat, LastSeen} with no Error. LastSeen is the newest LastHeartbeat of any registry hive on that cluster, or never. Heartbeat-backed pull-only entries also carry pull_only.
• Dashboard: awaiting state renders as a neutral pull-only · awaiting spoke heartbeat (last seen: never/<age>) line. Red is kept for real errors and for heartbeat data that went stale (data_stale), which the dashboard didn't show before.
• Regression tests: src/pkg/hub/cluster_health_pull_only_test.go, src/cmd/hive/boot_heartbeat_cluster_health_test.go.
• Changelog: changelog.d/fixed-10559.md.

Remains (needs-human)

The card's 0 hives means no registry hive is currently keyed to vllm-d at all. The spoke-side gap above is real, but it doesn't explain that on its own. Live hub logs are needed to confirm:

• whether a spoke on vllm-d is heartbeating at all;
• if one is, which cluster_id it is filed under. A SaaS record whose cluster_id was defaulted to hive-oke by ensureClusterIDForClaim would override the spoke's own report;
• whether metrics-server is reachable from that spoke. CollectClusterHealth returns nil silently, at debug level only, when it isn't.

With this change, the new last seen value on the card answers the first question directly.

Open PR overlap check

Base branch: v5

This PR conflicts with v5 itself. Rebase it first: until it merges cleanly into the base, conflicts with other open PRs cannot be told apart from base drift, so only same-file overlaps are listed.

Conflicts are checked with every PR merged onto the current tip of v5, so a PR that only needs a rebase is not reported as conflicting with its siblings.

[reviewer] recommend close: superseded — issue #10559 was closed 2026-10-05T14:19Z by human-authored PR #10567 (fix/pull-only-heartbeat-health-10559, commit 4abc571) merged to v5 before this PR could land. #10567 implements the same fix: pull-only clusters get heartbeat-reported health, a PerClusterHealth status/note (awaiting_heartbeat / stale_heartbeat), a neutral dashboard message class, and the boot_seams wiring. This branch edits the same regions of saas_cluster_health.go, boot_seams.go, main.go and dashboard.html with a parallel design (awaiting_heartbeat/pull_only bool fields), so merging it would duplicate fields and rendering paths. evidence: git log origin/v5 -S awaiting_heartbeat → 4abc571; merge db4d5c2 of #10567; gh issue view 10559 → CLOSED/COMPLETED at 14:19:09Z. tests: CI failure (TestStyleRatchet: +2 inline style=, +2 raw rgba colors, +2 raw padding over the 961/456/167 baseline) was confirmed with a scratch build of the ratchet counters and is fixed on this branch by commit 1f0e2b7, but that is moot given supersession. remaining risk: none — the shipped fix in v5 covers the issue; the one difference (#10567 does not expose a pull_only bool) is not needed by the dashboard.
