🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

An unreachable broker on one start permanently disables the former-name detection.

The stranding check can be bypassed by one transient failure. The sequence is:

  1. The broker probe fails at Line 66.
  2. Check returns null and records nothing.
  3. Startup continues. The bus connects later with its own recovery and declares queues under the new current name.
  4. On the next start, recorded is still null. FormerName probes current first (UsualNames.Prepend(current), Line 105) and finds the queues created in step 3.
  5. FormerName returns current. That value is recorded, and the old queues under the previous name are never reported.

Trigger: a short RabbitMQ outage, or a 15 s connect timeout, during the first start after the upgrade. The chart's Development→Production default change happens on that same upgrade.

Consequence: exchanges in the old-name queues stay stranded with no startup problem reported. Preventing that outcome is the purpose of this check.

Refuse startup in this case instead of passing it. The bus cannot work without the broker anyway, so the refusal costs nothing on a real outage.

Proposed fix

Update the exception handler around formerName() so a broker connection failure
fails startup instead of returning null and allowing the environment check to be
skipped; retain the warning log and propagate the failure through the Check
flow.
