To your first question, adding what we call management components is high on the to-do list. They serve this role, in addition to letting you describe workflow across the other infrastructure they manage.

You add support directly in System Initiative, by writing the schema and functions in TypeScript. You can see how in the docs.

The resources can be periodically refeshed, and the data flows through all your open change sets automatically - kind of like an automatic rebase. This is also an area where we’re doing work - both to figure out the right intervals and to show drift more clearly.
