[chore] logical-gaps: stream-bus poison-pill ACK + dead-letter, periodic reclaim, cancelled-handler marker cleanup (3 gaps)

stream_bus.py:
- _handle_message isolates Event.from_json in its own try/except; an
  undecodable payload (unknown EventType, bad UUID/timestamp, malformed
  JSON) is dead-lettered then ACKed instead of falling through to the
  broad except that only logged — a poison pill stayed pending forever
  and re-failed on every reclaim. (gap: stream-bus-malformed-event-poison-pill)
- _reclaim_loop spawned alongside _listen_loop in start_listening (cancelled
  in disconnect). XREADGROUP '>' delivers only NEW messages, so a runtime
  handler failure left its message pending and unretried until a restart;
  the loop re-runs recover_pending every 60s so the idempotency-guarded
  replay actually fires. (gap: stream-bus-no-runtime-reclaim-loop)
- _run_handler_guarded marker cleanup catches BaseException so a handler
  cancelled mid-flight (asyncio.CancelledError is BaseException-derived
  since 3.8) clears its SET-NX marker; otherwise the guard suppressed the
  very redelivery that would complete the work. (gap: stream-bus-cancelled-
  handler-keeps-idempotency-marker)

TDD: 4 red->green tests in tests/unit/events/test_bus.py.
