fix: crash loop after reboot - resilient error handlers + mask user service

Root causes:
1. uncaughtException/unhandledRejection called gracefulShutdown() -> process.exit(0)
   Any minor error killed the entire bot. Changed to LOG ONLY (Hermes/OpenCode pattern).
2. User-level systemd service was running alongside system-level, fighting for port 3001.
   Masked user service permanently.
3. Fragile new Promise(() => {}) keepalive replaced with setInterval-based keepalive.
4. Syntax error in uncaughtException handler (literal newline in single-quoted string).

Tested: 5 rapid consecutive restarts all pass. Uptime stable.

+### 🐛 Fixed
+- **Crash loop after reboot** — `uncaughtException` and `unhandledRejection` handlers were calling
+  `gracefulShutdown()` (which calls `process.exit(0)`), so ANY unhandled error killed the bot.
+  Changed to LOG ONLY (Hermes/OpenCode pattern) — only SIGINT/SIGTERM trigger clean shutdown.
+- **Dual systemd service war** — User-level service (`~/.config/systemd/user/zcode.service`) was
+  running alongside system-level service, both fighting for port 3001. Masked the user service
+  permanently (`ln -sf /dev/null zcode.service`).
+- **Fragile keepalive** — `await new Promise(() => {})` replaced with `setInterval`-based keepalive
+  that's robust against V8 optimization.
