Subject: [PATCH] tooling: watchdog that rolls an armed switch back when the
 service stops answering

`openfut-switch.sh on` prints "the service MUST stay up" -- true, and useless
when nobody is at the terminal. An armed switch pointing at a dead port means
the client hits a closed socket with no fallback.

This turns the documented rollback into an automatic one, failing toward the
Python oracle. The worst case of a spurious trip is a gate needing re-arming;
it can never leave the client broken.

It only ever REMOVES a switch. It does not install one, restart the Rust
service, or touch Python, and it does not re-arm after tripping -- an
unexplained rollback should be a finding to read, not something hidden by
flapping the switch back on.

The probe goes through the switch and speaks TLS, because a bare TCP connect
would succeed against a process wedged mid-handshake.

Tested both directions, not just the happy path: quiet for 45s against a
healthy service, and against a stopped one it failed 3/3 in 9s, rolled back,
and left Python serving -- verified by re-reading all four tables and by which
implementation's log grew.

+# WHY
+#
+# `openfut-switch.sh on` prints a warning that the service MUST stay up, because
+# an armed switch pointing at a dead port means the client hits a closed socket
+# with no fallback. A warning is not a safeguard when nobody is at the terminal.
+#
+# This turns the documented rollback into an automatic one. It fails toward the
+# PYTHON oracle, which is the proven-good path, so the worst case of a spurious
+# trip is that a gate needs re-arming — never that the client is left broken.
+#
+# It only ever removes the switch. It never installs one, never restarts the
+# Rust service, and never touches the Python backend. Recovery is deliberately
+# a human decision: an unexplained rollback is a finding to read in the morning,
+# not something to paper over by flapping the switch back on.
