Bug Fixes

• Disable the Agent Health Platform by default on Kubernetes to avoid Autodiscovery stalls. Reporting Autodiscovery annotation and template errors to the Health Platform could block Autodiscovery for several seconds, causing workloadmeta to drop event bundles. This applies to both the node Agent and the Cluster Agent when running on Kubernetes (including EKS Fargate); other environments keep the Health Platform enabled by default. To turn it back on in Kubernetes, set health_platform.enabled: true in datadog.yaml or DD_HEALTH_PLATFORM_ENABLED=true.
