 - Internal operator refactoring: introduce dereference() and validate() steps in the reconciler ([#935]).
 - Default `nifi.cluster.flow.election.max.wait.time` to NiFi's upstream value (`5 mins`) instead of the operator's previous `1 mins`. The operator no longer sets this property explicitly; the previous shorter value was left over from a TODO marked as "for testing" and may have caused flow election to settle on incomplete vote sets in cold-start scenarios ([#936]).
 - Set `nifi.content.repository.archive.max.retention.period` to `3 days` (previously empty, which NiFi interprets as `Long.MAX_VALUE` and effectively disables time-based archive purge). Without a time-based ceiling, the content archive can grow to half the content PVC and accumulate millions of files, which makes the synchronous startup directory scan in `FileSystemRepository.initializeRepository` very slow. Users requiring a longer content-replay window can extend via `configOverrides`. The provenance audit trail is independent of this setting and unaffected ([#936]).
