 dir-spec.txt says
 {{{
    "HSDir" -- A router is a v2 hidden service directory if it stores and
    serves v2 hidden service descriptors and the authority managed to
 connect
    to it successfully within the last 24 hours.
 }}}

 That sure makes it sound like "was found reachable at least once in the
 past day".

 The actual test is in dirserv_thinks_router_is_hs_dir(): if it's Running
 now, and its uptime appears to be >= 25 hours.
