The forge test read `status` the instant `push` returned and concluded
the machine was fine. It was describing the apply before this one.
`push` sends and returns — it prints "sent N resource(s)" and the
machine applies afterwards. So every assertion made immediately after
one is racing it, and this race lost quietly: no failure reported, and
a container that did not exist yet read as a container that would never
exist.
`settled` asks the mesh, in its own terms: a node is caught up when it
is neither waiting for what it was sent nor wrong about what it applied
— the two questions `status` already answers, read as JSON so a test is
not parsing a report written for a person. A machine reporting a failure
ends the wait immediately rather than at the timeout, because it will
not become right by being waited for.
The container assertion now also prints the plan. A container missing
because the mesh never asked for it and one missing because the machine
could not make it are one sentence and two entirely different faults,
and the plan is what separates them.
