INCIDENT_SUMMARY:
A cache deploy changed the DNS bootstrap entry from cache.svc.cluster.local to 10.42.7.4 — but that IP belongs to an evicted pod. Cache is healthy in its own metrics (it's running, accepting connections from its own ClusterIP), but every other service in the topology can't reach it. The agent must trust the connectivity evidence over the service's own self-report — which is the entire point of the lesson. Variant 1 reshuffles timing and distractor noise.
