- 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
