+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/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.
