Push, Wait...Nothing? Let's Talk GitOps Reliability

summary
Explains how Flux 2.6 uses receivers and event-driven reconciliation to avoid wasteful polling and shorten feedback loops, showing image update automation with imagePolicy + imageRepository + a generated commit that can create a pull request into a staging repo. Recommends replacing 10–30 minute polls with webhooks authenticated by an HMAC secret, warns about secret-rotation gotchas (even trailing newlines), lists 20+ alert providers, and mentions a custom flux event relay built to forward Kubernetes events into Flux notifications.
