teknium1 c6e3a77577 fix(cron): the ticker supervisor respawns only a ticker that crashed, not one that returned
SupervisedTickerThread (#111010) treated any ended thread as dead. An external provider's
start() (Chronos) arms remote one-shots and returns by design, so every housekeeping tick
logged "Cron ticker thread died without a stop request; restarting" at ERROR and re-ran
start() - a fresh recover_interrupted + NAS list/arm reconcile once a minute on every hosted
instance. Track whether the target escaped with an exception and respawn only then; the
built-in ticker returns normally only on stop_event.

"""Supervised daemon thread for the in-process cron ticker.
The gateway (and the Desktop backend) run ``InProcessCronScheduler.start`` on a bare daemon thread.
Every guard inside ``start`` keeps the loop alive on a per-tick failure, but nothing outside it could
notice a thread that had already ended — the gateway kept serving while ``ticker_heartbeat`` froze and
no job fired again until a restart (#111010). The supervisor is the missing outer layer: the
housekeeping loop asks it once a cycle to respawn a ticker that died while shutdown was not requested.
