// The live answer to "is Emby answering right now", as opposed to the one-shot alerts in
// server_alerts.go that announce the moment it changed.
//
// These are two different jobs and both are worth having. An alert is news: it slides in,
// says Emby stopped communicating and goes away, which is right for someone already
// watching. This is *state*: a television switched on twenty minutes into an outage was
// never told anything, and the one thing it can usefully show is a bar saying so and how
// long until the next attempt. It is the reason /v1/status carries it rather than the
// alert list — an alert that has fallen out of its window is gone, and this has not.
