Three compounding deploy-handler bugs found by live deployment:
- podman image exists/pull used a mixed-case ghcr.io ref that podman's
reference parser rejects before any network I/O (repository name must be
lowercase); all refs now lowercase — ghcr resolves case-insensitively.
- the unit runs the image under a localhost/ alias tag: this host's podman
5.7 quadlet path fails container create with 'image not known' for
registry-prefixed refs even when present in storage (verified live).
- the health probe was shell-form and the distroless ko-build image has no
shell; HealthCmd is now a JSON exec-form array, which passes through the
quadlet generator's argv assembly verbatim.
Tests updated to assert the alias-tag reality plus the pull guard.
