Enhancement added for node heartbeat recovery process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Nodes were not showing up in the admin portal even though they were up and running and could be seen in the pr_sys_statusnodes table. The exception "An exception was encountered while invoking the cluster membership listener callback" was seen. All nodes became visible again after multiple restarts. The root cause was traced back to a temporary database connectivity problem. The database itself was fine according to database monitoring reports, but a network problem, a slow database query, or another issue prevented Pega from establishing a connection for more than a minute. An enhancement has been made to resolve this: if a node becomes unhealthy due to the service registry missing due to a failed heartbeat, the heartbeat will try to recover after 60 seconds and keep trying every 30 seconds until it succeeds.

Unit Test Ruleset rules do not count against Guardrails
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Although the documentation indicates that rules in a Unit Testing ruleset should not count against the guardrail score or unit test coverage, when branching a unit test ruleset, the branch did not carry the same unit test flag value as the source ruleset and the rulesets were counted as a result. This has been resolved with an update to ignore testrulesets in guardrail and pegaunit calculations.

Added VBD support for CSRF token setting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Attempting to open any VBD reports in the marketing portal for a simulation test caused the user to be logged out. Investigation showed that this happened when CSRF token check was enabled in System > Settings > Cross-Site Request Forgery, and was caused by the planner not passing the CSRF tokens in its Ajax calls. To resolve this, handling for the CSRF tokens has been added to the necessary Ajax calls.
