Correct a premature verified, and survive credential rotation

I recorded readiness_state: verified after a passing smoke run and found the
deployment 0/1 eight hours later.

Platform credentials are 30-minute leases, not passwords. The service read the
mounted URL once at start-up and never again, so External Secrets kept the file
current while the engine held the URL it booted with, and every reconnection
after the first lease expiry used a credential the database had already
revoked.

/readyz reported it accurately — "database unreachable: OperationalError" — and
the pod sat unready for eight hours without being restarted, because liveness
is deliberately independent of the database. That separation behaved exactly as
designed: the process was alive and could not serve, and it said so.

Fixed in 0.1.5: the engine re-reads the credential for every new connection and
pool_recycle is 900s, well inside the lease. Only username and password come
from the refreshed URL; host, port and database come from the engine, so a
malformed refresh cannot silently redirect the service.

readiness_state back to deployed. The bar for verified is now observation
across a full lease rotation, because a smoke run inside the first window
cannot distinguish a service that works from one that works once — an
availability property is not provable by a single sample.
