Research direction

Start by searching the repository for the "up" state and tracing where it is displayed or used. Check any related tests or command output, then determine the complete set of names that must change. Done means the intermediate state is consistently called "starting" and existing tests or checks still pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

"up" is actually an intermediate state.
Any service that stays in this state long has something wrong with it.
I don't think "up" denotes this.
