A complete mine is not enough: elasticsearch:nodes, redis:nodes, logstash:nodes (tgt_type=pillar) and hypervisor:nodes (tgt_type=compound) resolve their target against the master's per-minion data cache (grains+pillar in data.p), which is populated only when a minion's pillar is recompiled -- separately from the mine. After a reboot a node can be in the mine (so node_data/glob sees it) yet absent from that cache, so it fails the elasticsearch:enabled:true pillar match and is dropped from elasticsearch:nodes -> so-elasticsearch ExtraHosts -> container recreate. After the mine-completeness wait, run salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar wait=True to synchronously cache every up node's pillar (the same lever deploy_newnode.sls uses), then verify with salt-run cache.pillar and retry stragglers, bounded by MINE_UPDATE_MAX_WAIT. Also log elasticsearch:nodes alongside node_data for inspection.
