S272: Wave 47 — health.liveness always alive + upstream debt

health.liveness now always returns {"status":"alive"} — if the socket
is reachable, the process is alive. Boot-phase signaling remains in
health.readiness ("starting" → "ready"). This aligns with the
DEPLOYMENT_BEHAVIOR_STANDARD so nucleus health sweeps pass immediately.

Also absorbs 49 upstream clippy errors from rebase (27 cylinder,
22 server dispatch) and fixes ModuleSource derive regression.

88 JSON-RPC methods, 9,131 lib tests, 0 clippy warnings.

+
+primalSpring Wave 47 response: align health.liveness with DEPLOYMENT_BEHAVIOR_STANDARD for nucleus health sweeps.
+
+- CHANGED: `health.liveness` now always returns `{"status":"alive"}` — liveness means "socket is up", boot state signaling moved to `health.readiness` (Wave 47 MEDIUM fix)
+- REMOVED: `ready` parameter from `health_liveness()` function — no longer needed
+- FIXED: 27 upstream clippy errors in `toadstool-cylinder` (module_patch.rs, sovereign_handoff.rs) from rebase — dead code, collapsible_if, too_many_arguments, unused vars, format!, casts
+- FIXED: 22 upstream clippy errors in `toadstool-server` dispatch/mod.rs from rebase — map_unwrap_or, used_underscore_binding, default_trait_access, collapsible_if, needless_borrow
+- FIXED: `ModuleSource` derive regression (manual Default → `#[derive(Default)]`) in glowplug
+- METRICS: 88 JSON-RPC methods, 9,131 lib tests, 0 clippy warnings, deny clean

+**Date**: May 2026 — S272
 **Philosophy**: Math is universal, precision is silicon. Workarounds are
 short-term solutions that increase debt. We aim to solve deep debt over
 iterations, evolving toward vendor-agnostic, capability-based solutions—
 with production stubs surfacing typed configuration errors and capability
 guidance, and auth policy driven by explicit environment configuration
 where applicable.
 
+**S272 (Wave 47: health.liveness Always Alive + Upstream Debt)**:
+`health.liveness` now always returns `{"status":"alive"}` — liveness means
+the socket is listening. Boot-phase signaling stays in `health.readiness`.

 **Post-budding, dependency-sovereign, IPC-first, fully concurrent, capability-based.** barraCuda is a separate primal at `ecoPrimals/barraCuda/`. ToadStool is the hardware infrastructure layer — GPU/NPU/CPU discovery, capability probing, workload orchestration, and shader dispatch.

 - **Phase C complete** (S245–S253) — toadstool-cylinder (153 .rs, 520 tests), DRM/MMIO/AMD/NVIDIA/VFIO hardware modules absorbed from `coral-driver`. `OwnedFd` VFIO fd ownership (S253). SwapOrchestrator real quiesce/persist/restore (S253). `toadstool device` CLI with swap/list/status/warm subcommands (S253). GspBridge trait boundary.
 - **Phase D: Sovereign dispatch validated** (S250–S263) — `try_local_dispatch()` via `ComputeDevice` trait before `coral_client` IPC forward. Full buffer lifecycle. AMD DRM dispatch live. **NV VFIO e2e dispatch validated on Titan V** (S263): warm handoff → VFIO open → channel → DMA roundtrip → GR init. Current frontier: FECS PENDING_CTX_RELOAD.
