Fix minikube role skipping start when kubelet/apiserver are stopped (#137)

## Summary
- After a power loss, minikube's Docker container (host) restarts but kubelet/apiserver remain stopped
- The ansible role's status check used `--format='{{.Host}}'` which only examined the host VM state
- When host=Running but kubelet/apiserver=Stopped, the role skipped `minikube start`
- Fixed to use full `minikube status` exit code (returns non-zero when any component is unhealthy)
- Simplified all downstream conditions to use exit code instead of string matching

## Test plan
- [x] Verified the fix correctly skips `minikube start` when cluster is already fully running
- [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (ansible-lint, yamllint, etc.)
