btcpay-server started and reported healthy while its declared
dependencies (archy-btcpay-db, archy-nbxplorer) failed every boot
reconcile (live-testing report 2026-07-10, Fix 3). After each
reconcile pass, flag every app the pass left up whose manifest
dependency landed in the failure list — a loud DEGRADED journal error
instead of silence. True start-gating on dependency health is a
larger design change (boot-ordering/deadlock risk) and stays open.
