 This also decides where per-user secrets should live: in the config file on the volume, not in Machine env vars. Env changes require a Machine update and a restart. A file write doesn't.
 
-When you do need a real Machine update (rename, metadata, env vars), use the [lease flow](/docs/machines/api/machines-resource/#machine-leases) so concurrent updaters can't clobber each other: acquire a lease, send the update with the `fly-machine-lease-nonce` header, release the lease in a `finally`. And know that Machine updates replace the entire config; they don't merge. `GET` the current Machine first and send back its full config with only your fields changed, or you'll silently wipe mounts, services, checks, and env.

+A small worker, ideally its own [process group](/docs/launch/processes/), loops on an interval. Each tick does four things, in order:
 
 1. **Cycle.** Delete unallocated entries whose `provision_version` doesn't match the current one. Bump the version whenever your image or Machine config changes, and the pool replaces itself over the next few ticks.
 2. **Clean.** For `failed` entries, delete the app and the row.
 3. **Validate.** `GET /machines/{id}` for each `ready` entry; discard anything whose `state` isn't `started`. Also discard rows stuck in `provisioning` for more than ~10 minutes. That's a crashed provisioner, and the incrementally-written IDs let you clean up whatever it left behind.
 4. **Replenish.** Count available entries (`status = 'ready' AND allocated_at IS NULL`) plus in-flight `provisioning` entries against your target, and create the shortfall. Counting claimed-but-still-`ready` rows here is the classic bug: the pool looks full and quietly stops refilling as users claim entries. Spread the new entries across regions by weight (say, 3 in `us`, 1 in `eu`, 1 in `apac`, where those are your own buckets of concrete Fly regions like `iad`, `ams`, and `sin`). Counting in-flight `provisioning` entries stops you from over-provisioning during a burst of claims. Guard against overlapping runs.
 
-## Pointers & Footguns
+## Pointers and footguns
 
 - **Warm Machines cost money.** Pool size is a bet on your peak claim rate versus your tolerance for cold-start fallbacks. Start small (2-5), log ready/provisioning counts every tick, and grow only when you see fallbacks under real traffic. If your app boots fast, a pool of *stopped* Machines that you `start` on claim may be the better trade, since stopped Machines cost much less than running ones.
 - **Mint unique secrets per entry** (auth tokens, gateway passwords) at provision time and store them encrypted in your database. A claimed Machine should never be reachable with another entry's credentials.
