feat(monitoring): dead-upstream surfacing + mute toggle (DC-049) [mm-grade=B+]
CI / Test & Lint (push) Canceled after 0s
CI / Security audit (push) Canceled after 0s

Caddy's own reverse_proxy health_checker logs every 10s about unreachable
tenant upstreams (see recurring 100.120.159.34:5000 spam in journalctl)
but never surfaces the result to the dashboard. Adds:

- caddy-upstream-watcher.js: scans /etc/caddy/sites/* for every
  reverse_proxy directive, probes each upstream every 60s independent of
  Caddy, opens a 'caddy-upstream-dead' incident after 5min of consecutive
  failures via the existing healthChecker. Mute list persisted to
  data/caddy-upstreams.json. Probes stamp X-DashCaddy-HealthCheck: 1 so
  forward_auth doesn't 401 them.
- routes/caddy-upstreams.js: GET /api/v1/caddy/upstreams (snapshot),
  GET /api/v1/caddy/upstreams/incidents (open dead-upstream incidents),
  POST /api/v1/caddy/upstreams/mute ({host, muted}) for JSON-body mutes,
  POST /api/v1/caddy/upstreams/:host/{mute,unmute} for path-style toggles.
  All mounted under the auth-gated apiRouter in app.js.
- 16 unit tests + 2 route smoke tests, all passing.

GLM judge (delegate_task, 1500s timeout per Pitfall XXI-b) completed 21
tool calls before timeout; mechanically verified tests pass, eslint clean,
app.js module load OK, RST-mid-body ECONNRESET is caught by req.on('error').
Found two MEDIUM defects which are now fixed in this commit:

1. (MEDIUM) scanSites file-extension filter `/\.(sami|caddy|conf)$/i`
   silently skipped real prod filenames like zap.sami-ahmed.net,
   samitest.space, blocks.cryptographic-triangles.org where the file
   extension is .net/.space/.org. Replaced with positive filter that
   excludes README/.bak/.swp/Caddyfile + content pre-check
   (must contain 'reverse_proxy'). Added test covering the prod filenames.

2. (MEDIUM) POST /caddy/upstreams/mute with body {host, muted:'false'}
   MUTED the host because the bare route used `muted !== false` which is
   true for the string 'false'. Replaced with explicit `muted === false`
   check, and added 400 ValidationError when the host isn't a known
   upstream (prevents muting typos / non-existent hosts).

Self-grade: B+ (after applying GLM partial review). Re-grade with Codex
when its quota resets 2026-08-24.

/**
* Tests for caddy-upstream-watcher.
*
* Mock-driven: we stub fs (for /etc/caddy/sites scan + state file) and http/https
* (for the probe). Tests cover site parsing, probe happy/sad path, the 5-minute
* "dead" threshold, mute toggle, and incident integration with healthChecker.
