A machine is as big as the scenario says, and may reach the world

Three changes, found by one failing test.

The forge failed three runs in a row as "status hangs", and it was
diagnosed twice as contention — real defects, fixed, and not the cause.
The heartbeats told the truth in the end: every exec on anchor crawled
from 15s to 105s, because eleven containers plus a database pull were
running in a 1GiB machine. Starvation presents as whatever you were
doing when the page-outs start, which is why it wore two other bugs'
clothes first.

So machine size is now the scenario's to declare — memory and cpus per
machine, default unchanged. The anchor that carries the whole substrate
is bigger than the laptop that joins it, and the comment on the
scenario says why in terms of what lands there.

`egress: true` gives a machine one extra interface on a lab-supplied
NAT network, addressed by DHCP because the one address a scenario has
no business choosing is on the host's side of the fence. Declared
per machine and off by default: a closed scenario stays the rule
(novox/hq ADR 0016), and the exception exists because a first node
fetches its images before any mesh can serve them — which is now the
tested path (04-ISSUES/029), and a lab that can never reach upstream
cannot prove the bootstrap it exists to prove. The uplink route is
metric-4096, so it never shadows a route the scenario declared. A
detached machine declaring egress is refused, not ignored.

And settled() treats a poll that threw as a poll that missed. An exec
timeout at minute four of a wait is "could not ask", not a verdict on
the machine.
