Get current cluster status by fetching live state from EKS + K8s.

Reads tier definitions from the cluster_configs collection,
then queries the actual cluster to determine current tier, memory, and replicas.
BYOC services without a cluster_configs record get a live-only view
(no tier catalog, ``scaling_available: false``) that degrades to
'unknown' values instead of failing.

`GET /cluster/status`
