- **added** — Add a release budget for Fleet-initiated activities (policy-automation software installs and scripts, and iOS/iPadOS scheduled app updates) that queues them immediately but releases to hosts at a configurable rate via FLEET_ACTIVITY_FLEET_INITIATED_RELEASE_PER_MINUTE (default 1000 hosts/minute, 0 = unlimited)
- **changed** — User-initiated activities (self-service installs, admin-run scripts, lock/unlock/wipe, setup experience) now take precedence over queued Fleet-initiated activities on the same host
- **fixed** — Fixed editing a policy on a large fleet stalling policy and software install result ingestion fleet-wide by moving the policy_membership wipe to run after the policy update commits instead of inside its transaction

###### Bug fixes

- Added a release budget for Fleet-initiated activities (policy-automation software installs and scripts, and iOS/iPadOS scheduled app updates): they are now queued immediately but released to hosts at a configurable rate (`FLEET_ACTIVITY_FLEET_INITIATED_RELEASE_PER_MINUTE`, default 1000 hosts/minute, 0 = unlimited), spreading out the install-execution and result-ingestion load when an automation fires for many hosts at once. User-initiated activities (self-service installs, admin-run scripts, lock/unlock/wipe, setup experience) are unaffected and now take precedence over queued Fleet-initiated activities on the same host.
- Fixed editing a policy on a large fleet stalling policy and software install result ingestion fleet-wide. The `policy_membership` wipe now runs after the policy update commits instead of inside its transaction, so its row locks are no longer held for the whole wipe. An interrupted wipe is completed by the policy membership cron.
