DET-H14: Root SSH visibility lost

A collector that was reporting root's SSH state stopped: its root_ssh reader went unreadable, or the opt-in was turned off. DET-H11..H13 go blind while the signal is dark, so an operator knows the signal was lost rather than assuming the host is clean.

A match appears in the console as a detection with this rule's ID and triggers your alerts; see Runtime detections.
