fernwick: surface uploader-DEGRADED in the daily email (both silent-failure classes)

3f913740f2116877b0dbaa412399d881fc1fce52 · 2026-07-08 08:43:01 -0700 · Steve Abrams

report.js now reads the pre-flight health.json and, on DEGRADED, prepends a red banner +
flags the subject line — so a moved-upload-page OR expired-session is loud in Steve's inbox,
not just buried in cron.out.log. Closes the 'silently broken, nobody noticed' loop end-to-end:
pre-flight check → run-dir health.json → daily email alert.
