Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/3/dev' into saltthangs

Salt's stock inotify beacon leaks one kernel inotify instance every time
the minion rebuilds the beacon loader's __context__ (the orphaned
pyinotify.Notifier is never stopped), accumulating against
fs.inotify.max_user_instances=128 until inotify_init() fails with EMFILE
and rule-change push detection silently stops. This is independent of
disable_during_state_run.

Add a custom poll-based beacon (salt/_beacons/rules_db.py) modeled on
pillar_db.py: it fingerprints the suricata/strelka rule dirs each interval
(relpath + mtime_ns + size, temp files excluded) against a per-dir
watermark, emitting an event only on change. It holds zero inotify
instances, so the leak is impossible, and it keeps firing during state
runs. Swap the inotify beacon config and reactor tag mappings accordingly;
the push_suricata/push_strelka reactors are unchanged (they read only
data['path']).

+so-push-drainer
+===============
+
+Scheduled drainer for the active-push feature. Runs on the manager every
+drain_interval seconds (default 15) via a salt schedule in salt/salt/push_drain_schedule.sls.
+
+For each intent file under /opt/so/state/push_pending/*.json whose last_touch
+is older than debounce_seconds, this script:
+  * concatenates the actions lists from every ready intent
+  * dedupes by (state or __highstate__, tgt, tgt_type)
+  * dispatches a single `salt-run state.orchestrate orch.push_batch --async`
+    with the deduped actions list passed as pillar kwargs
+  * deletes the contributed intent files on successful dispatch
+
+Reactor sls files (push_suricata, push_strelka, push_pillar) write intents
+but never dispatch directly -- see plan
+/home/mreeves/.claude/plans/goofy-marinating-hummingbird.md for the full design.

+# An action with `highstate: True` triggers state.highstate instead of

+#
+# Notes:

+#   - suricata/strelka/zeek/elasticsearch/redis/kafka/logstash etc. have
+#     their own pillar dirs AND their own state, so they map 1:1 (or 1:2
+#     in strelka's case, because of the split init.sls / manager.sls).
+#
+# Intentional omissions (these will log a "not in pillar_push_map.yaml"
+# warning in push_pillar.sls and wait for the next scheduled highstate):
+#   - `data` and `node_data`: pillar-only data consumed by many states;
+#     handling them generically would amount to a fleetwide highstate.
+#   - `host`: soc_host describes mainint/mainip; a change is a re-IP and
+#     needs a coordinated procedure, not an immediate state push.
+#   - `hypervisor`: state changes touch libvirt and are disruptive; leave
+#     to the next scheduled highstate.
+#   - `sensor`: every field in soc_sensor.yaml is `readonly: True` or
+#     per-minion (`node: True`). Per-minion edits are persisted under
+#     pillar/minions/<id>.sls and are handled by Branch A of push_pillar.sls
