funman300 8ae432223a ops: systemd supervision for Core and the FIFA17 host (staging-proven)
Replaces the detached `setsid nohup … nsenter …` launch, which had no restart
policy, no boot persistence and no supervisor-visible logs. Staging units are
installed and proven; production units are TEMPLATES and are not installed.

Three decisions, each measured rather than assumed:

* `Wants=`, not `Requires=`, from host to Core. With `Requires`, stopping Core
  stopped the host AND a later Core start did not bring it back -- a routine
  Core restart would leave the client with no server. With `Wants` the host
  survives a Core outage, answers 503 core_unavailable, never falls back to
  Python, and resumes the moment Core returns with no intervention. Both halves
  tested.
* Readiness is a bounded ExecStartPre TCP gate, because ordering proves nothing
  about readiness and Type=exec only proves the binary exec'd. Core binds its
  listener after migrations and content load, so "port open" is a real signal.
  The gate FAILS rather than blocking: a host that waits forever looks healthy
  while serving nobody.
* The netns is resolved by container NAME every start. The container is
  restart=unless-stopped and its netns inode CHANGES on restart (measured:
  4026539938 -> 4026540033), so a hardcoded pid is wrong by construction and
  anything left in the old namespace serves nobody. Proven equivalent to today's
  nsenter against a scratch container, never production's namespace.

`systemd-analyze verify` caught two real defects before deployment:
StartLimitIntervalSec/StartLimitBurst sat in [Service], where systemd 252
silently ignores them, so the crash-loop ceiling was not taking effect; and a
Documentation URL containing %20 parsed as a specifier. Both fixed and the
effective properties re-confirmed from the running units.

Staging evidence: Core-first ordering, host refused when Core is absent or
merely not listening, outage survival, automatic recovery, restart, graceful
stop with no strays, boot simulated via multi-user.target, 3x SIGKILL contained
at ~5s spacing, journald logs, and economy state byte-identical throughout
(integrity ok, fk 0).
