feat(zulip): Gen 4 — connection pool recovery, heartbeat logging, log sanitization

Fixes 4 critical reliability issues discovered during Zulip server outage recovery:

1. CLOSE-WAIT socket leak: _reconnect() now creates a fresh httpx.AsyncClient()
   when the queue expires, preventing stuck connection pool. Old client is
   explicitly aclose()'d.

2. Silent poll loop death: After sustained 502 errors, the poll loop was
   returning [] without logging — transport errors are swallowed by _api_call
   returning (None, 0). Added heartbeat logging every 5 minutes and silence
   detection warnings after 60s of no events.

3. HTTP client stuck pool: Added proactive client recreation after 20 consecutive
   empty polls (connection pool exhaustion detection) and periodic refresh every
   500 polls (connection reuse limit).

4. Log spam: 502 error responses from Netbird contain full HTML pages — now
   truncated to 80 chars with newlines stripped.

Also:
- Support ZULIP_URL env var (in addition to ZULIP_SITE)
- expose silence_seconds, consecutive_empty_polls, client_pool_resets in health stats
- Reduced health callback interval from 600s to 300s

+Zulip platform adapter (Hermes plugin) — Gen 4.
 
 Connects a Hermes agent to Zulip via event queue polling. DMs and @mentions
 are routed to the agent via the Hermes Gateway's handle_message() interface.
 Replies use a placeholder->edit streaming pattern for UX feedback.
 
+Gen 4 Improvements (2026-06-27):
+  1. HTTP client recreation on reconnect — new httpx.AsyncClient() after queue expiry
+     or sustained failures to prevent CLOSE-WAIT socket leaks
+  2. Heartbeat logging — periodic "still alive" message to prove poll loop is running
+  3. Log sanitization — truncates 502/error HTML to first 80 chars (no Netbird HTML spam)
+  4. Connection recovery — creates fresh HTTP client after N empty poll cycles
+  5. Poll silence detection — logs warnings when no events received for extended period
+  6. Connection reuse limit — periodic client recreation to prevent connection pool exhaustion
+
 Gen 3 Improvements (2026-06-26):
   1. Malformed message resilience — try/except wraps each event, no crash on bad JSON
   2. Periodic @all-bots refresh — background task re-resolves user ID every hour
