ListEnabledCheckDefs selected interval_s but never filtered on it, so every enabled check ran on every 30s pass and the declared per-check intervals were decorative. Invisible at 17 enabled checks; at ~180 it would have meant ~126 SSH connections every 30s (~363k/day) and `apt update` on every machine every 30 seconds — 14,400 mirror hits a day to answer a question that changes daily. - check_defs.last_run_at (migration 026) + a due-ness predicate in the query. A column rather than scheduler memory because this control plane restarts on every deploy, and an in-memory map would re-fire every check on each restart. - runCheck stamps last_run_at before processing the result, so a permanently failing check backs off to its interval instead of re-running every pass. - updates and backup-freshness drop to daily. Both answer questions whose answers change about once a day; 60s was just the shared ssh-script default. - last_run_at is seeded to a random offset within the interval so checks created by the same seed do not stay in lockstep — otherwise ~165 probes land in the same instant each minute instead of spread across it. Deliberately not in the upsert's DO UPDATE: a re-seed must not re-herd them. Steady state becomes ~180k SSH/day (down from ~363k) and 5 apt runs/day (down from 14,400), with each 60s check landing at its own point in the minute. Also renumbers 022→023, 023→024, 024→025: origin/main added its own 022_knowledge_revisions, and prod has already applied version 22. Left colliding, prod would have skipped the monitoring_spec migration entirely and then failed the seed on a missing column. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
