The supervisor is a single watchdog-supervised systemd service on the manager node. It replaces the old Kubernetes CronJobs with one process that runs the control-plane maintenance loops. Source: docs/master/README.md:39-41.

Source repository

The supervisor systemd unit and the manager-only maintenance loops.

​
The unit

The unit is Type=notify with a 30-second watchdog and runs the master supervisor command against the manager config:
Source: docs/master/README.md:50-54. It is installed from deploy/swarm/platform-supervisor.service and enabled with systemd. Source: docs/master/README.md:41-47; README.md:179.

​
The loops

The supervisor loops run on the manager only: Source: docs/master/README.md:56; README.md:179.

​
Timeout reaper

The timeout-reaper is the manager-only backstop for broker cleanup: it independently reaps jobs that exceed their timeout, so a crashed or unreachable challenge cannot leak long-running services even if the broker’s own cleanup path does not run. Source: docs/security.md:45.

​
Image updaters

The image updaters resolve the public container-registry tag digest and roll the Swarm services to tag@sha256:<digest> only when a mutable tag actually moves. No registry pull secret is required for public packages. Source: docs/master/README.md:56; README.md:184.

Master node

The manager node the supervisor runs on.

Broker

The job dispatch the timeout-reaper backstops.
