* Report backend liveness: the REST /health payload plus per-cartridge status,
* or a structured "rest-unavailable" result when the backend cannot be reached.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not report every health-check error as an unreachable backend.

The outer fetchHealth() catch also handles errors after the server responds. For example, invalid JSON from a reachable backend makes res.json() reject, but this message says the backend is not reachable. That can send operators to start a service that is already running. Limit this result to connection failures, or use wording that reports a failed health check without asserting the cause.

Also applies to: 59-59

Review comment at @mcp-bridge/lib/api-clients.js at line 25:
Update the outer catch in fetchHealth so errors after a successful response,
such as JSON parsing failures, are not reported as an unreachable backend;
reserve the rest-unavailable result for connection failures or use wording that
reports a failed health check without asserting the cause.
