Replay the crash loop: a container that exits at start fails its gate on the first machine (hq ADR 0240)
The agent server crash-looped about a hundred times behind every passing check.
R-crashloop raises a container whose program exits at start, has the node-engine
at its commit judge it through the runtime, and the controller at its commit
judge the gate from what the engine said — two repositories, each at its own
commit before the fix and on it.

// **R-crashloop — a module's container that crash-loops fails its gate on the first machine** (novox/hq
// ADR 0240, "how it is checked", rule 1; to-be 48 Phase A, done when).
//
// On the home server the agent server restarted about a hundred times in a crash loop while the mesh read
// it applied, its tools served and no condition raised; a person found it reading its log for another
// reason (issue 268, research 032 §6). The gate judged a module by what the mesh saw from outside.
//
// The replay is the whole chain, each half at its commit:
//
// 1. a container whose program exits at start is raised here as the node-engine raises a module's — the
// runtime restarting it unless stopped, labelled with its resource;
// 2. the node-engine at MESH_REPLAY_HOST judges it through the runtime, as it judges every long-running
// resource, and writes what it states (its TestReplayCrashLoopIsSaidUnhealthy) — an engine older than
// the judging has nothing to state, and its reports carry no health;
// 3. the controller at MESH_REPLAY_CONTROLLER rolls a build of the module out, hears its first machine say
// that, and judges the gate (its TestReplayCrashLoopFailsItsGateOnTheFirstMachine).
//
// The assertion is the controller's: the build fails its gate on the first machine and is put back there.
// Needs a container runtime, Go, and MESH_TEST_POSTGRES for the controller's store; the container is
// removed after, whatever happened.
