patching

Fleet-wide replacement is a traffic-shaping problem: bake once, wave through in controlled batches, watch the alarms, and keep the exit open. In-place patching is the alternative and usually the regret.

Discover, scan, deduplicate, prioritise with context, route with SLA clocks, verify, measure. Most programmes rot at dedup and ownership: five scanners produce five conflicting queues nobody trusts.
