root 1f90c3dc74 fix(pm2-self-heal): document permanent stuck-detection fix, reset PM2 counter
Root cause: abiba-zulip extension had STUCK_THRESHOLD_MS=30min.
After 30min of inactivity (overnight), it reported stuck=True, which
triggered the health monitor to restart it — cycling restarts up to 18.

Permanent fixes:
1. STUCK_THRESHOLD_MS raised 30min → 4 hours in extension index.js
2. PM2 restart counter reset: delete+re-add abiba-zulip (was 18, now 0)
3. pm2-self-heal.sh alert threshold documented at 30 (implementation already)
4. Prose contract updated with historical note and threshold rationale

Monitors critical PM2 processes (abiba-zulip, abiba-telegram) and
auto-restarts any that are stopped or errored. Logs every action to
the knowledge graph and alerts the owner via Zulip DM on failures.
CRITICAL: Never restart abiba-zulip — it runs this contract.

## Maintains
- abiba-zulip: { status: "online", uptime: string, restarts: number }
- abiba-telegram: { status: "online", uptime: string, restarts: number }
- last_check: timestamp
## Continuity
- Self-driven: check every 300 seconds (5 min)
- Also wakes on user request (`prose run pm2-self-heal`)
## Remediation Rules
### Rule 1: Process Stopped or Errored
- **Detect**: `pm2 status` shows "stopped" or "errored" for a named process
- **Fix**: `pm2 restart <name>`
- **Verify**: Re-check status after 5 seconds
- **Escalate**: If still failed after 2 retries, send Zulip DM to owner
### Rule 2: Process Restarting Too Often
- **Detect**: `pm2 status` shows restarts > 30 (cumulative lifetime counter)
- **Note**: PM2 counter never decrements; only full delete+re-add resets it
- **Fix**: `pm2 delete <name> && pm2 start <ecosystem> --only <name>`
- **Escalate**: Only when restarts > 30 — alerts to Zulip DM
- **Historical fix**: Previous cycles were caused by abiba-zulip extension's
stuck detection (STUCK_THRESHOLD_MS was 30min, raised to 4h in v2).
This was the root cause of the 18-restart accumulation. Threshold raised
and PM2 counter reset on 2026-06-28.
## Execution
1. **Check PM2 status** — Run `pm2 status --no-color` and parse the table (5th data column = PID, 8th = restarts, 9th = status)
2. **Check abiba-telegram**:
- If status is "online" → pass
- If status is "stopped" or "errored" → apply Rule 1
- If restarts > 5 → alert owner
3. **Check abiba-zulip** (self-process, read-only):
- If status is "online" → pass, log restarts count
- If status is "stopped" or "errored" → **DO NOT RESTART** — alert owner immediately
- If restarts > 5 in last hour → alert owner with full diagnostics
4. **Log results** — Create `[LEARN]` node in knowledge graph for any actions taken
5. **Alert** — Send Zulip DM to owner if escalation needed (do NOT run pm2 commands during alerting)
6. **Wait 5 min** → repeat from step 1
