Merge #462: gate the coordinator row on a named predicate the handler must consult (fleetd #439)
CI / contract (push) Successful in 1m4s
CI / build (push) Successful in 1m51s

Verified by me on a local merge of c1ca627 onto 1348287:

- mvn -B clean test: see the totals below. Ran in fleetd/, redirected to a file,
  exit code captured on its own line.
- Mutation battery on merge 8402923 (same two parents, earlier base 5f1b260),
  4 cells, each with a proof gate on the occurrence count:
    * CONTROL, unmutated: 1583 tests, 0 failures, rc=0.
    * M2r - the handler stops asking who called: coordinatorVisibleTo(principal(exchange))
      replaced by a literal true. KILLED by
      FleetMcpAuthzTest.theFleetListHandlerActuallyConsultsCoordinatorVisibleTo.
      This is the mutant that survived round 1, so the gap the follow-up was for is closed.
    * M3 - is the new source-reading detector vacuous? Renamed its anchor
      (listHandler -> listHandlerX, 2 sites, behaviour identical). The detector FAILED,
      rc=1, as a source-reading test must: it cannot silently pass on an empty scrape.
    * M4 - the predicate itself always says yes: return caller.isPrimary() replaced by
      return true. KILLED by FleetMcpAuthzTest.onlyThePrimaryMaySeeTheCoordinatorRow.
  Tree verified clean before the battery and restored after each cell.
- ANON is pinned too, not only worker and architect: FleetMcpAuthzTest asserts
  coordinatorVisibleTo(ANON) is false.
- listFleet( appears in exactly one main file, mcp/FleetMcp.java, and no REST class builds
  the coordinator row, so the detector's single-file scope covers every live call site
  today. Control for that sweep: 109 main .java files matched a string they all contain.

Not in this PR, and my call, not the worker's: the six compat overloads of listFleet still
default callerIsPrimary = true, which fails open. Safe today because the one production
call site passes the computed value. Filed separately.
