fix(telegram): keep polling watchdog active for wedged runner

CHANGELOG.md

 - Heartbeat: clamp oversized scheduler delays through the shared safe timer helper, preventing `every` values over Node's timeout cap from becoming a 1 ms crash loop. Fixes #71414. (#71478) Thanks @hclsys.
 - Telegram: remove the startup persisted-offset `getUpdates` preflight so polling restarts do not self-conflict before the runner starts. Fixes #69304. (#69779) Thanks @chinar-amrutkar.
+- Telegram: keep the polling stall watchdog active even when grammY reports the runner as not running while its task is still pending, so a rebuilt transport cannot leave `getUpdates` silent until a manual gateway restart. Fixes #69064. Thanks @LDLoeb.
 - Browser/Playwright: ignore benign already-handled route races during guarded navigation so browser-page tasks no longer fail when Playwright tears down a route mid-flight. (#68708) Thanks @Steady-ai.
 - Browser/downloads: seed managed Chrome profiles with OpenClaw download prefs and capture unmanaged click-triggered downloads under the guarded downloads directory, while explicit download waiters still own their target file. (#64558) Thanks @Pearcekieser.
 - Browser/Chrome: stop passing redundant `--disable-setuid-sandbox` when `browser.noSandbox` is enabled; `--no-sandbox` remains the effective sandbox opt-out. (#67939) Thanks @sebykrueger.
