The agent reads [[boot.sequence]] stages from its config and starts
services in dependency order before accepting gRPC connections. Each
stage waits for its services to pass health checks before proceeding:
- tcp: TCP connect to the container's mapped port
- grpc: standard gRPC health check
Foundation stage (stage 0): blocks and retries indefinitely if health
fails — all downstream services depend on it.
Non-foundation stages: log warning and proceed on failure.
Uses the recover logic to start containers from the registry, then
health-checks to verify readiness.
Config example:
[[boot.sequence]]
name = "foundation"
services = ["mcias", "mcns"]
timeout = "120s"
health = "tcp"
