jochen 0f6986aead netcheck: ask one named resolver, and list what listens here (hq issue 348)
During the 2026-10-09 outage the control node's resolver stayed active while it no longer listened on
its private address, and nothing on the mesh could ask that address a question or show which sockets
were bound. netcheck_dns takes server (and tcp) to ask one resolver alone and say its response code;
netcheck_listening reads the kernel's socket tables, as ss -lunt does, with the owning program where
the tool's account may see it and a sentence where it may not.

// netcheck's Go tools bundle (novox/hq ADR 0188, ADR 0193): a process the node's runtime launches
// and speaks MCP over stdio to, through the Go SDK. It serves the two checks that are the machine's
// own sockets and resolver — a TCP connect, a DNS lookup (of the machine's resolver, or of one named),
// and what listens here — and nothing that changes anything.
// The module's HTTP check is its TypeScript bundle; the runtime serves both under one module.
