Crowdsec log questions.

Hello everyone, I require a bit of aid with my setup. I updated crowdsec this morning (to version 1.6.8, 1.6.9 is not yet available via docker for me?) With this I checked the logs to make sure nothing odd was happening. However, I spotted a few things which I am confused by and I woul dlike some help with. The logs will be attached in the next message. 1. It is telling me some scenarios and collections are tainted and that I need to overwrite them. But, I don't understand how this is happening as I use docker and I usually just pull them down automatically at the start. What is the best course of action to remedy this? 2. capi_whitel;ists_path is deprecated, I am currently a bit unfamiliar with how this was implemented and what exactly I require to change? 3. Machine is not allowed to synchronize, what exactly does this do? Help is appreciated!

About the third one, to add machine again in the web ui, probably machine id changed because it was stored inside of the container and was lost when you updated the container.

I have an additional question, what does this line mean:
time=
2025-06-18T08:32:54+02:00
level=
warning
msg=
QueryDecisionWithFilter : context canceled

is tainted means config was modified and is not the same as the original content fetched from the internet, my guess is that something modified it when opened files or start scripts in the container modify it or are doing it incorrectly, worth to check on the github if someone reporeted it capi_whitelists_path is deprecated config needs an update or the scripts in the container, it leads to the docs page with more details QueryDecisionWithFilter : context canceled may mean that there were too many events to send and the context to send them was cancelled because for example the process was shutting down, or was replaced by a different context
