The flat-fleet mutator was DB-poll-only and noisy — it logged
"no active deployment found" every 10s on idle hosts and ran
mutate_all at a fixed tick regardless of when the next decky
was due.
- mutate_all returns seconds-until-next-due; watch loop sleeps
min(next_due, poll_interval_secs) with a 1s floor.
- "No deployment" is now idle, not an error: edge-triggered log
on present<->absent transition instead of every tick.
- mutate_decky publishes decky.<name>.state on successful compose
so UIs react in real time.
- New decky.*.mutate_request subscription lets API/CLI/UI force
an immediate mutation of a specific decky without waiting for
its interval; target name feeds mutate_all(only={...}).
- system.mutator.health heartbeat via run_health_heartbeat helper,
bringing the mutator in line with DEBT-031 workers.
Tests: next_due return, only= filter, decky.<name>.state publish
on success, no publish on compose failure. Full mutator+topology-
mutator+bus suite (109) green.
