#2989 gate: treat nil mcp_server_present as ALLOW (rollout-safety)

Live RCA (2026-06-18): #2989's fail-closed gate present != nil && *present treats a runtime that does not report mcp_server_present (nil) as false → fail-closed. But that field is added by #147, merged 01:52 todayafter the pinned concierge image's runtime (0.3.32, cut 19:53 the prior day; platform_agent_identity.py is 404 at that tag). So the current concierge image bakes /opt/molecule-mcp-server yet its runtime cannot speak the contract.

Impact: the instant #2989 deploys ahead of a #147-bearing concierge image, every concierge is marked failed despite a present MCP binary — observed on test3 (online → failed the moment its box rolled to the #2989 build); a full-fleet roll would take all concierges offline.

Fix: nil (field absent ⇒ pre-#147 runtime ⇒ unknown) → ALLOW; only an explicit &false (a #147-aware runtime affirmatively reporting MCP absent) fail-closes. Makes the contract-pair (#2989 gate + #147 runtime) deploy-order-safe; enforcement activates naturally once the concierge image ships a #147 runtime.

Test: TestPlatformAgentMCPServerPresent_NilTolerance; existing true→online/false→failed unchanged. build+vet green.

Live RCA 2026-06-18: #2989's fail-closed gate (`present != nil && *present`)
treats a runtime that doesn't report mcp_server_present (nil) as FALSE →
fail-closed. But the runtime field is added by #147, which merged at 01:52
TODAY — AFTER the pinned concierge image's runtime (0.3.32, cut 19:53 the prior
day; platform_agent_identity.py is 404 at that tag). So the current concierge
image bakes /opt/molecule-mcp-server but its runtime can't SPEAK the contract.

Result: the moment #2989 deploys ahead of a #147-bearing concierge image, EVERY
concierge is marked failed despite a present MCP binary — observed on test3 (it
was online, then failed the instant its tenant box rolled to the #2989 build),
and it would take the whole fleet offline on a full roll.

Fix: nil (field absent ⇒ old runtime ⇒ unknown) → ALLOW, not block. Only an
explicit &false (a #147-aware runtime affirmatively reporting the MCP absent)
fail-closes. &true → allow. This makes the contract-pair (#2989 gate + #147
runtime) deploy-order-safe; gate ENFORCEMENT activates naturally once the
concierge image ships a #147 runtime.

Test: TestPlatformAgentMCPServerPresent_NilTolerance; existing true→online /
false→failed tests unchanged. build+vet green.

QA: rollout-safety — nil mcp_server_present (pre-#147 runtime) → ALLOW; only explicit false fail-closes. Un-breaks concierges fail-closed by #2989+pre-#147 image. Unit-tested. APPROVE.

Security: gate stays fail-closed on explicit false (the real signal); nil-allow only restores pre-#147 backward-compat. APPROVE.
