[glm-grade=B] fix(monitoring): restore dead-detection for verified loopback upstreams (DC-054)

DC-053 follow-ups (queue item 2b). Three small fixes to the caddy-upstream-watcher:

1. verifiedViaBridge flag: a loopback upstream whose PRIOR probe succeeded via
   host-gateway proves the bridge CAN reach the host. A later failed probe
   is then near-conclusive evidence the upstream itself went dead. The
   DC-053 code unconditionally marked loopback failures as unverifiable,
   throwing away this signal. Now: track verifiedViaBridge per-upstream and
   treat verified-then-failed as down (count failures, open incident after
   DEAD_AFTER_MS=5min).

2. IN_CONTAINER=false kill-switch test (B-grade polish, folded into same
   commit per conjoint-commit anti-pattern).

3. git.sami intermittent ENOTFOUND (~2/h in ssl-monitor TLS handshake):
   pin git.sami -> 100.121.150.22 (DNS2 Tailscale) in container /etc/hosts
   via --add-host in start.sh. Existing comment explicitly forbids pinning
   to DNS3/100.81.59.99 (no HTTPS listener there); DNS2/100.121.150.22 is
   correct (Caddy serves git.sami on DNS2:443 and routes to DNS3:3030
   internally).

GLM-5.3 judge round 1 (208s, 6 tool calls, on-disk verified): grade B,
all 25 tests green, no blocking issues, 3 LOW polish suggestions.
Folded two actionable LOWs (persistence + JSDoc) into this commit:
- verifiedViaBridge now persisted in _saveState/_restoreUpstreamStates so
  a known-good loopback upstream stays labeled across container restarts
  (1-tick blip becomes 0-tick).
- snapshot() gained JSDoc describing the verifiedViaBridge semantic for
  dashboard consumers.
Third LOW (long-term: prefer host-side liveness signal from Caddy) is a
roadmap note, not actionable now.

Tests: 1921/1921 (was 1910; +11 net: 6 new for items 2b-a/2b-b/persistence +
5 previously-skipped baseline). Full suite 86/86 green.
