mempool can't reach the Bitcoin backend on some nodes. Investigate on .116. Check mempool->electrs->bitcoind wiring.

Tracked in repo: tests/production-quality/TRACKER.md

ROOT-CAUSED: stacks.rs:1278 + apps/mempool-api/manifest.yml hardcode CORE_RPC_HOST=bitcoin-knots → fails on bitcoin-core nodes (getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND). Fix = dynamic bitcoin host detect. Not yet implemented. (tracker: tests/production-quality/TRACKER.md on vps2 main)

Fixed in code (CORE_RPC_HOST detects Knots/Core across 3 render paths, unit-tested). Still needs live validation on a bitcoin-CORE node — both test nodes are Knots. Keeping open until validated.

Fixed in bf24bbc1 — mempool now resolves CORE_RPC_HOST to the actual bitcoin node (Knots/Core) via dependencies::detect_bitcoin_host + a {{BITCOIN_HOST}} derived-env template, resolved at container-creation time. Shipped in v1.7.98-alpha. Closing.
