Leave a watch behind
After a deploy, ask the agent to keep an eye on what the change could break. It callssave_query with the connection, the streams and a Lucene query, and the query appears in the Queries tool window, watched: while Flux runs it is asked every round and new matches are announced on the island and as a notification, exactly as a watch you set yourself.
every sets how often it asks, between 15 seconds and an hour; quiet_below turns it into a silence watch, for a cron or a webhook that should keep arriving; watch: false saves it without watching. Saving the same query on the same streams again updates it rather than adding a second.
