fix(review): PR #2499 bot findings - queued-load abandonment, output redaction, WinError 8, heartbeat credit

- model_manager: queued callers wait in short slices and re-check abandonment
- backend.ts/backend-gate: scrub child output (tokens, home paths) at source and at agent hand-off
- failure/error_journal: recognise OSError.winerror == 8 and [WinError 8] without English text
- subprocess_backend: generating heartbeats re-arm recv only, not model-load grace
- tests: event-based sync for voxcpm2 heartbeat test
