Lease-watch verdict must check what it claims

Version 3 reported 'survived past the lease TTL' after a clean 12-minute window
on a 13-minute-old pod. Every measurement in it was accurate; the conclusion
was not, because nothing checked that the observation window had actually
exceeded the 30-minute lease it claimed to have outlasted.

Fifth defect in this instrument, and the first to err toward reassurance.
Versions 1 and 2 cried wolf, which provokes investigation. This one would have
been believed, and readiness_state: verified recorded on it — the same way
live-image-digest-match would have been believed. A check reporting success it
has not established is indistinguishable from one that works, until it matters.

The verdict now requires uptime > lease TTL and reports INCONCLUSIVE when a
window is clean but too short. 'Clean' and 'proven' are different claims and
only one of them was being measured.
