The watcher hears the self-check's `checked` alone: the consume of mesh-controller.doctor-heartbeat, the subscription to the controller's seat, the follow switch (takeover.go) and its read of mesh-conditions.takeover are gone. The manifest test now lists the one consume and the heartbeat-key test refuses the controller's event. No test added.
