fix: stop telegram listener crash-loop from failed background commands
gates / consistency-and-conventions (push) Failing after 13s

A mapped command exiting non-zero (e.g. /capture -> ffmpeg with no
webcam, exit 254) killed the whole daemon: the CHLD trap only recorded
children that exited 0 (and wait -n inside a trap is unreliable on bash
5.2 anyway), so reap_commands fell back to a bare 'wait $pid' which
aborts the shell under set -euo pipefail before the exit code is
captured. systemd Restart=always then crash-looped (dead gaps + duplicate
command execution from getUpdates offset=0 restarts).

- reap_commands: single reaper path, set -e safe wait with || rc=$?,
  non-zero child exits now produce a normal reply with the real rc
- persist the confirmed getUpdates offset to $CONFIG_DIR/telegram-listener.state
  (LISTENER_STATE_FILE seam) and resume it on start, so a restart never
  re-delivers an unconfirmed burst
- new regression test t-telegram-listener-reap.sh (12 checks): 254-child
  reap survives daemon, negative control proves the old idiom dies,
  offset load/save resume + invalid fallback + empty-batch no-write

# t-telegram-listener-reap.sh — regression tests for the listener crash-loop:
# (a) a background command exiting non-zero (254) must NOT kill the daemon.
# The old code reaped via `wait "$pid"` under `set -e`, so any non-zero
# child exit aborted the listener and systemd Restart=always crash-looped
# it (offset reset to 0 → duplicate re-delivery). Reply must carry the
# real exit code.
# (b) getUpdates offset persistence: resumed from the state file across
# restarts (no duplicate burst after restart), invalid state falls back
# to 0, and empty batches never rewrite the file.
# (c) negative control: the OLD trap + `wait "$pid"` idiom still dies on 254
# (proves the regression is real and the fix works).
