During an upgrade, nodes may be drained even when no user-visible YAML changes are present. This can occur if non-dynamic configuration files are updated or if a new `system-agent-installer` image is introduced.
In such cases, Rancher generates a new upgrade plan, resulting in a new plan hash. When `Upgrade Strategy` is set to `Drain nodes`, this plan change can trigger node draining.
