backend_quadlet_units() enumerates every *.container file on disk and the
active-state tests asserted each unit active + container running. A
user-stopped app keeps its unit file (e.g. the inactive half of the
bitcoin-core/bitcoin-knots multi-version pair after tonight's crash-loop
wave left core's unit on disk), so its inactive service / absent container
is the CORRECT state — gate run E false-failed on it (tests 123/124,
.228 2026-07-09). Honour the orchestrator's user-stopped.json intent
marker and skip those units in both tests.
Verified on .228: bitcoin-core's lingering unit now exempted; suite parses
(bats --count = 6) and the two fixed tests pass user-stopped filtering.
