feat(cluster): simultaneous-cold-start split-brain guard (opt-in)
Closes the residual Phase-7 gap: when BOTH nodes of a 2-node pair cold-start at the same instant, each self-first seed runs FirstSeedNodeProcess, times out waiting for the other, and forms its own 1-node cluster — two Primaries in one pair (the Phase 6 live gate reproduced this reliably on docker). The prior mitigation was operational (staggered start / compose depends_on), which does not exist on production hardware. The guard (dark switch Cluster:BootstrapGuard:Enabled, default OFF) prevents the split without giving up cold-start-alone: - The lower-address node is the preferred founder: self-first, forms immediately. - The higher node probes its partner's Akka port (TCP connect) up to PartnerProbeSeconds: reachable => peer-first (join the founder, never race it); unreachable => self-first (partner is dead, form alone). The order is decided BEFORE the single JoinSeedNodes, from an explicit reachability signal — never re-formed mid-handshake (the retired SelfFormAfter failure mode). When on, Akka gets no config seeds (BuildClusterOptions) and ClusterBootstrapCoordinator drives the join. Review-driven hardening: case-insensitive tie-break (a hostname-casing mismatch would reopen the split); fail-fast validation of the timing knobs; the residual "founder dies in the probe->join window" hang is documented and made operator-visible (warning + a restart recovers). Real-ActorSystem coordinator tests cover the load-bearing higher-node cold-start-alone case; 147/147 Cluster tests pass. Live-gated on docker-dev (site-a = enablement demo, serialization removed, guard on; site-b keeps depends_on-serialization + guard off as the A/B control): simultaneous start -> site-a-1 founds, site-a-2 probes-reachable-joins -> 250/240, NO split; higher-node-alone -> probes dead founder, self-forms -> 250; founder rejoin -> 240.
