Mike Reeves a0cf0489d6 reduce highstate frequency with active push for rules and pillars
- schedule highstate every 2 hours (was 15 minutes); interval lives in
  global:push:highstate_interval_hours so the SOC admin UI can tune it and
  so-salt-minion-check derives its threshold as (interval + 1) * 3600
- add inotify beacon on the manager + master reactor + orch.push_batch that
  writes per-app intent files, with a so-push-drainer schedule on the manager
  that debounces, dedupes, and dispatches a single orchestration
- pillar_push_map.yaml allowlists the apps whose pillar changes trigger an
  immediate targeted state.apply (targets verified against salt/top.sls);
  edits under pillar/minions/ trigger a state.highstate on that one minion
- host-batch every push orchestration (batch: 25%, batch_wait: 15) so rule
  changes don't thundering-herd large fleets
- new global:push:enabled kill-switch tears down the beacon, reactor config,
  and drainer schedule on the next highstate for operators who want to keep
  highstate-only behavior
- set restart_policy: unless-stopped on 23 container states so docker
  recovers crashes without waiting for the next highstate; leave registry
  (always), strelka/backend (on-failure), kratos, and hydra alone with
  inline comments explaining why

description: Airgapped systems do not have network connectivity to the internet. This setting represents how this grid was configured during initial setup. While it is technically possible to manually switch systems between airgap and non-airgap, there are some nuances and additional steps involved. For that reason this setting is marked read-only. Contact your support representative for guidance if there is a need to change this setting.

highstate_interval_hours:
description: How often every minion in the grid runs a scheduled state.highstate, in hours. Lower values keep minions closer in sync at the cost of more load; higher values reduce load but increase worst-case latency for non-pushed changes. The salt-minion health check restarts a minion if its last highstate is older than this value plus one hour.
