gates: refuse a health probe the app does not answer (R-618)

check-probe-matches-compose.py, a --fast gate so it bites in the hook and in CI.

The oracle was already in every template: the probed service's own compose healthcheck dials the
app on 127.0.0.1. The gate compares the .felhom.yml probe against it, statically.

Port mismatch REFUSES for every check type. Path mismatch REFUSES only where the probe can fail on
it (type api WITH expect) and WARNS otherwise, because probeHTTP calls any response healthy
otherwise - measured, not assumed. Six WARNs on the current catalog, each named in the CHANGELOG;
paperless-ngx is the loud one: no container matches the stack name, so no probe ever runs.

Four red-proofs and five decoys, suite now 51 cases. --root lets the suite judge its own clone.

+## A gate that refuses a probe the app does not answer (2026-09-22, R-618)
+
+`scripts/check-probe-matches-compose.py`, wired into `catalog_gates.py` as a **`--fast`** gate, so
+it runs in the pre-push hook and in CI.
+
+**The oracle was already in the file.** Every template's probed service carries a compose
+`healthcheck.test` that dials the app on loopback — `wget http://127.0.0.1:80/accounts/login/`. It
+is written by whoever added the template and exercised by docker on every start. The gate compares
+the `.felhom.yml` probe against it, statically, with no network and no container. The probed service
+is resolved exactly as `findProbeContainer` resolves it (container name equal to the stack name,
+else prefix).
+
+**Two verdicts, and the narrower one is a measurement, not a compromise.** A wrong PORT is always
+fatal — nothing listens, every dial is refused — so it REFUSES, for every check type. A wrong PATH
+is fatal only when the probe can fail on it: `probeHTTP` calls ANY response healthy for type `http`,
+and for type `api` with no `expect` block. So a path mismatch REFUSES only with `api` + `expect`,
+and WARNS otherwise. Over all 53 apps that is the difference between convicting `zipline` and merely
+warning about `home-assistant`, whose badge is right today and would break the day someone adds an
+`expect`.
+
+**Six warnings on the current catalog**, none a conviction and none a pass:
+
+| app | why no verdict |
+|---|---|
+| `paperless-ngx` | **no container_name equals or begins with the stack name** — `findProbeContainer` returns nothing and the stack is skipped, so no probe ever runs and the badge can never go red |
+| `vikunja` | the probed service has no compose healthcheck — no oracle |
+| `crafty-controller`, `mealie`, `uptime-kuma` | the healthcheck dials through a python/script helper, not a loopback URL — no oracle |
+| `home-assistant` | path mismatch on a probe that cannot fail on it (above) |
+
+**Red-proofs, four, plus decoys both ways** (`scripts/test_gate_decoys.py`, now 51 cases): each of
+the three real faults re-introduced one at a time and refused; the fixed tree passes; a clean app
+given a wrong port refused; an `api`+`expect` probe given a wrong path refused. The decoys move the
+LABEL and must not convict — the port in a YAML comment, Traefik's `loadbalancer.server.port`, a
+published `ports:` mapping, a NON-probed sidecar's own healthcheck, and a path mismatch on a probe
+that cannot fail on it. The gate takes `--root=<dir>` so the suite judges its clone and not the real
+repo; without it every case would read identical bytes and pass for nothing.

+"""check-probe-matches-compose.py — the `.felhom.yml` probe must dial where the app LISTENS (R-618).
+
+WHAT WENT WRONG, and why a static gate can catch it.
+
+`.felhom.yml`'s `healthcheck.checks` tells the controller where to knock: it dials
+`<container-name>:<port><path>` on the compose network. The port is therefore **the port the
+process listens on INSIDE the container** — not the published port, not the Traefik port. Three
+templates named a port or a path the app does not answer. On its own that is only a wrong badge;
+what makes it P1 is that **the guarded update's `verifying` phase waits on that same probe**, so a
+SUCCESSFUL update ends with `failAndHold` stopping a working app. Measured on 2026-09-21: tandoor
+served HTTP 200 on the new version at four samples over five minutes, docker's own healthcheck
+green, and the controller stopped it at +361.9 s.
+
+THE ORACLE. The compose `healthcheck.test` of the very same service already dials the app on
+loopback — `wget http://127.0.0.1:80/accounts/login/`. That line is written by whoever added the
+template, is exercised by docker on every start, and is therefore known-good. So the two can be
+compared, statically, with no network and no container:
+
+    probe port  ==  the port the compose healthcheck dials on 127.0.0.1
+    probe path  ==  the path it dials                              (when the probe can FAIL on it)
+
+WHICH SERVICE. The one the controller would actually probe. `findProbeContainer`
+(`controller/internal/stacks/healthprobe.go:297`) takes the container whose name EQUALS the stack
+name, else the first whose name has it as a PREFIX. This gate resolves the same way, off
+`container_name`.
+
+THE TWO VERDICTS, and why the path rule is narrower than the port rule — this is a measurement, not
+a compromise:
+
+  * **A wrong PORT is always fatal.** Nothing listens there, the dial is refused, every check fails.
+    REFUSE, for every check type including `tcp`.
+  * **A wrong PATH is fatal only if the probe can fail on it.** `probeHTTP` returns healthy for ANY
+    response when the type is `http`, and also when the type is `api` with **no `expect` block**
+    (healthprobe.go:253-262). So a path mismatch bites exactly when the type is `api` AND `expect`
+    is present. REFUSE there; WARN otherwise. Run over all 53 on 2026-09-22, that is the difference
+    between convicting `zipline` (`api` + `expect.status: 200`, path `/api/health` vs the app's real
+    `/api/healthcheck`) and merely warning about `home-assistant` (`api`, no `expect`, `/api/` vs
+    `/manifest.json`) — which is honest: home-assistant's badge is right today and would break the
+    day someone adds an `expect`.
+
+WHAT IT CANNOT SEE — named, not implied:
+
+  1. **A template whose compose healthcheck is ALSO wrong.** The oracle is the compose line; if both
+     agree and both are wrong, this gate passes. Only a live deploy decides that.
+  2. **A path that is right but answers the wrong STATUS.** `expect.status: 200` against an endpoint
+     that 302s is a real fault and looks identical to a correct template here.
+  3. **Anything about a service other than the probed one.**
+
+  Each of these three is a WARN category below rather than a silent pass, wherever it is visible.
