Adds `GET /api/v1/system/health`, a structured read-only health surface for
automated readiness checks, and keeps `/health` as the cheap liveness probe.
webui/system_health.py composes a DTO from fail-soft dependency probes: the
control-plane database, the local checkout, and — opt-in via `?deep=1` — live
Gitea reachability, each carrying status, reason, and probe latency. Required
probes drive readiness; the optional Gitea probe can only degrade overall
status, because local inventory stays serveable when the remote is
unreachable. A probe that did not run leaves readiness incomplete rather than
silently passing.
Read-only throughout: the control-plane database is opened through a `mode=ro`
URI because `ControlPlaneDB.__init__` creates directories and runs migrations,
which a health check must never do. No restart or reload control is exposed;
those are Phase 2 and #630 forbids process-kill recovery.
No unproven claims: `stale_runtime.mutation_safe` is true only when the
runtime, checkout, and remote commits are all known and equal, and MCP
namespaces always report `unproven` because a web process cannot exercise the
IDE-managed client path (#543). Probe details are redacted at the browser
boundary — URLs lose userinfo and query strings, credential-shaped text is
masked.
`/health` is expanded additively: every MVP key is retained, plus `started_at`,
`uptime_seconds`, and a pointer to the versioned API. The versioned route
returns 503 when not ready so automation can branch on the status code alone.
Verified at master 9eb0f29: focused file 40 passed / 11 subtests; `-k "webui or
health"` 230 passed / 159 subtests; full suite 4358 passed with the 11
pre-existing master-drift failures unchanged from the clean-master baseline.
