scripts/smoke-runtime.sh said it was "intended for CI smoke gating", and CI
never called it — nothing in this repo, in .hanzo/workflows, in the Makefile or
in universe named it. The role it claimed is already served twice over, by
things that ARE invoked: `make smoke` runs plugin/smoke, the release gate's
functional prober, and `make e2e` runs e2e/run.sh, which builds the host and its
plugins and boots them for the Playwright suite.
It was also the weakest of the three. Five hardcoded probes against
plugin/smoke's one read per subsystem, with none of the contract that makes that
prober worth running — no 402-on-a-read rule, no 5xx rule, no authed/tolerant
distinction. And it reached for `curl -fsS`, the flag that turns a failing probe
into a silent one.
