Found live while validating the RCON-secret heal: a server that had already
recovered to Ready was marked Failed(StartupTimeout) minutes later, the moment
an unrelated pod rollout briefly dropped readyReplicas. The anchor
(status.startRequestedAt) was never cleared on success, so its 300s budget
kept ticking under a healthy server and any later blip spent it.
markRunningReady now clears the anchor: every start-or-recovery attempt gets
its own budget. It also flips ConditionProvisioned back to True — markFailed
sets it False and nothing ever reset it, leaving a permanent failure flag on
recovered servers that every conditions consumer would read.
Unit tests pin both: anchor cleared on Ready, Provisioned recovers from
Failed to Running.
