Design review (NO-GO -> GO) and iterated requirements review until clean:
- Controller refuses to start (non-zero exit, stderr, before any network
I/O) when an env-supplied XCE_CONTROLLER_PEERS lacks its own name (1.6);
new libxce xce_peers_find_identity() replaces both identity loops in
controller/cluster.c so the check and my_priority/listen port agree.
- deploy-ha.sh's generated scripts/xceadmin wrapper exports
XCE_CONTROLLER_PEERS so an ambient value cannot redirect it (Req 4).
- Opt-out is unsetting/emptying the variable (1.7); "No --peers" log
lines say it was unset or empty (1.8); docs cover sudo/systemd not
inheriting it (3.1).
- Requirement 1 defines explicit candidate list / resolution point /
own name so harness (set masters) is covered precisely; error messages
name the value's source incl. validation failures (1.4).
- xceadmin: name= stripping and a clean malformed-entry error apply to
every --controller source; errors name the env var source (2.2, 2.8).
- Test plan fixed against real code (stderr vs stdout, log texts,
xcecd_virtual, --norc, free ports, failover order test).
