Description
clientv3 sets linearizable=true by default since 3.5; the call must fail when the member is partitioned from quorum. That is the entire point of the flag — it is a quorum probe, not a freshness hint.

app/etcd/cluster.lua:81 M.member_list() takes NO request argument and always serves local box.info.replication. The Range-only linearizable bounce (grpc.lua:180,221) does not cover MemberList.

Nuance: our payload is never actually stale (membership is config-static, not raft-driven), so the RESPONSE is right — but the guarantee is absent, so a partitioned node answers confidently where etcd would fail. False-positive health signal.
Acceptance criteria
linearizable=true fails or bounces to leader when quorum is unavailable; linearizable=false keeps serving locally; test covers the partitioned case.
