Phase 2, PR 5 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md 2.7. api.onBoot/api.onShutdown
stop throwing, server.js gains one call on each side, and the 2.4 state machine
finally runs against real outcomes -- which is what makes 4.5's `disabled` 404
leg reachable for the first time.

Dispatch and reconcile live in src/modules/lifecycle.js rather than in the
loader, for the reason the schema replay does: routeManifest.js and swagger.js
both require app.js against a dead pool, so the loader may not reach the
database. The two halves meet at exactly one function, loader.setState(), so the
in-memory record the dispatch guard reads and the row the admin panel reads are
moved together and cannot disagree.

Four decisions, all recorded in MODULE_API.md 2.5 and 4.4:

- The loader classifies its failures by 4.3 step, so failure_stage says where a
  module broke instead of being a column nothing ever filled. The four steps
  readManifest covers in one pass label themselves; the rest are inferred from
  how far load() had got, and an unlabelled throw is recorded against the step
  that was running rather than guessed at.
- A row whose directory is gone is marked startup_failed rather than left
  claiming `enabled` -- the boot reset has just moved it there, and a row
  claiming to be enabled for a module that is not on the volume is the one state
  that is simply untrue. An uninstall leaves `disabled`, which the reset never
  touches, so this catches only a hand-deleted directory.
- Core's eight UO boot call sites stay in server.js until Phase 3. Unlike a
  registered announce leg, a boot call site already has somewhere to live, so
  moving it now would be extraction done early in a phase whose exit criterion
  is that nothing changes.
- onBoot gets no timeout. Shutdown races a SIGKILL and boot does not, and a slow
  onBoot delaying the listener is the contract's promise to a module that must
  warm up before it serves.

The operator's switch wins over everything: a disabled module is guarded, not
booted, and does not have its failure re-recorded, or an outcome would silently
switch it back on next boot. Every database write in the reconcile is
individually caught -- a row that will not update is worse reporting, never a
failed boot.

900 tests pass (17 new). routes.manifest.json is unchanged at 229 routes and the
OpenAPI spec regenerates byte-identical.
