Lets an instance stop occupying a device's single TCP connection slot so
another instance (e.g. prod) can take over.
Per-unit:
- POST /api/nl43/{unit_id}/deactivate — poll_enabled=False (persisted) +
drop the connection (waits up to 10s for in-flight ops via the device
lock, then discards). Unit stays dormant across restarts.
- POST /api/nl43/{unit_id}/activate — re-enable polling.
Global standby:
- POST /api/nl43/_system/standby — poller idles and releases ALL
connections; the loop keeps re-releasing so the instance holds no slots.
- POST /api/nl43/_system/resume — resume polling.
- GET /api/nl43/_system/status — active vs standby + active_connections.
- SLMM_POLLING_ENABLED=false starts an instance in standby (persistent
way to keep a dev box from latching onto a prod-owned device).
