We use a shared "golden" pipeline template across a few hundred repos, and we intentionally leave certain inputs out of individual pipelines so they fall back to the default value baked into the template. That's the whole point of the setup: keep each pipeline lean and only list the values we're actually overriding.

The problem is Harness still shows the Reconcile banner on every pipeline that's relying on one of those defaults, even though nothing is wrong and the pipeline runs fine. Across our fleet that's a constant false alarm, and it makes engineers second guess pipelines that are actually healthy. We'd like Reconcile to treat "this input has a default and was left out on purpose" as in sync, and reserve the banner for cases where something's actually missing or broken.
