Coordinator: join the cluster when NATS comes up, report the connection

A node that started while NATS was down never got a coordinator. The
connect failed at boot, bootstrap recorded a build error and the node ran
with Coordinator::None until restarted. It had no broadcast subscriber
or publisher, so cross-node push and cache invalidation to it stayed
broken, and its healthcheck said nothing about it. Losing NATS after
startup was silent too.

- The NATS client now connects in the background
  (retry_on_initial_connect): startup never waits on NATS or fails over
  it, the node gets its coordinator, subscriber and publisher at once,
  and the client keeps trying (async-nats's backoff, at most 4 s apart)
  until NATS answers. Subscriptions made meanwhile start delivering when
  it does. A configured maxReconnects still ends the attempts.
- Three new events report the connection: cluster.coordinator-connected
  (info), cluster.coordinator-disconnected (warn: lost, closed, gave up,
  or not connected within the connection timeout at startup) and
  cluster.coordinator-error (warn: a failed attempt, reported once per
  outage rather than every retry, and server errors, slow consumers and
  lame duck mode). They are in the packaged schema, ids 644 to 646.
- GET /healthz/cluster reports the coordinator: 200
  {"coordinator":"connected"}, 503 {"coordinator":"disconnected"}, or
  200 with "none" (no coordinator) or "unknown" (a backend that doesn't
  track its connection). /healthz/live and /healthz/ready are unchanged
  on purpose: a node without its coordinator still serves mail, and
  failing those would have orchestrators restart, or pull out of
  service, every node at once whenever NATS is down.

Only NATS connects lazily; the other coordinator backends still fail at
boot as before.

cluster::coordinator::coordinator_reconnect_tests starts a node against a
NATS port with nothing behind it, checks it boots with a coordinator and
reports it disconnected, subscribes, then starts NATS on that port: the
node connects on its own and the subscription receives a message from a
second client. Stopping and restarting NATS shows disconnected, then
connected, and the same subscription keeps working.

 - **MON-16.** With `indexTelemetry` on, storing a trace schedules an
   `IndexTrace` task. The task builds one document for `SearchIndex::Tracing`
   with the fields named in `indexTracingFields`:
-  - `eventType`: every event type in the trace;
-  - `queueId`: every `queueId` value;
+  - `eventType`: the trace's opening event, as its numeric id;
+  - `queueId`: the first `queueId` value, as an integer;
   - `keywords`: every address in `from` and `to`, each address's domain, every
-    `domain`, `hostname`, `remoteIp`, `messageId` and `accountName` value.
+    `domain`, `hostname`, `remoteIp`, `messageId` and `accountName` value,
+    and every `queueId` value.
+  The event type and queue id are single integer columns on every search
+  backend (BIGINT on PostgreSQL and MySQL), so the `queueId` filter matches
+  the column or any queue id in the keywords, and a session that queued
+  several messages is found by each of them.
   So searching `example.org` finds every trace to or from that domain, as the
   upstream suite expects. With `indexTelemetry` off nothing is indexed, and
   the `text` and `queueId` filters are refused (see "Interfaces").

+
+Cargo.toml's [patch.crates-io] can point at a directory in this repository,
+and the Dockerfile builds from a context that .dockerignore prunes to almost
+nothing. Those two facts met on 2026-09-23: a vendored, patched sieve-rs
+landed, CI stayed green -- it builds from a checkout, where the directory is
+simply there -- and the release build failed on
+
+    failed to load source for dependency `sieve-rs`
+    failed to read /build/vendor/sieve-rs/Cargo.toml
+
+after a tag had already been pushed. This is seconds, and it runs beside the
+other fork checks rather than waiting for a release to find out.
+
+Being in the context isn't enough on its own: the Dockerfile cooks the
+dependencies (`cargo chef cook`) before it copies the tree in, from a recipe
+that carries only the workspace's manifests. So each patched path must also be
+copied into that stage before the cook step, or the same error comes back
+there -- as it did for 2026.9.24.2, the first tag after the context fix.
