…t silence watchdog
- The native sidecar emits a connection-scoped `StructuredEvent{name:"heartbeat"}` every 10s from a dedicated thread, so beats keep flowing while the dispatch loop is busy inside one long request. No protocol schema change — reuses the existing structured-event variant.
- The host replaces the per-frame 120s timeout with a silence watchdog: any inbound frame resets a 30s clock; sustained total silence kills the sidecar and rejects in-flight requests with a typed `SidecarSilenceTimeout` (stderr tail included).
- Individual requests no longer have a deadline: a legitimately long agent turn runs for minutes without teardown, while a genuinely dead or wedged sidecar is detected in ~30s instead of 2 minutes.
- Removes `NATIVE_SIDECAR_FRAME_TIMEOUT_MS`, the `AGENTOS_SIDECAR_FRAME_TIMEOUT_MS` env override (#1641), and all `frameTimeoutMs` plumbing (spawn options, native-client, protocol-client, frame-rpc, correlation).
- Heartbeats are swallowed at the frame layer on both clients so they never reach event consumers or the bounded event buffer; the Rust client mirrors the watchdog (activity-reset reader, kill + fail-pending on silence).
- Heartbeat cadence and silence window are fixed protocol constants (no env knobs); docs updated.
