Supervised Watchers, Orphan Reaper & Board Health

Channel-watchers now run as supervised launchd daemons that emit a heartbeat every interval and trigger a broker dead-man’s switch alert when a watcher goes silent for more than three intervals. The orphan reaper drops its node/bun/turbo allowlist and now reaps any process whose cwd sits under a deleted worktree, batching the cwd lookups into a single lsof call to keep sweep cost under 730 ms. Two new board-health checks round out the release: one flags in-flight tickets with no worker, no signal file, and no open PR, and one bounds every read of the monthly event log to a time-covering tail — cutting a 341 MB scan from 1,114 MB peak RSS to 143 MB flat.
