Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix performance issues with large mock datasets (800+
 guests)

- Limit alert checking to 50 guests per cycle to prevent blocking
- Remove unnecessary state broadcast when alerts are resolved
- Fix deadlock in GetActiveAlerts by releasing lock quickly
- Enable handling of 800+ mock guests with sub-10ms response times

This allows Pulse to handle large-scale deployments efficiently for testing and production use.
