✅ Bug Fixed: Reconnect Thrashing Race Condition

Root Cause Analysis

When a Claude turn completed:

  1. Stream ended with done === true
  2. checkForNewKontask() called immediately
  3. Kontask not persisted yet → returns false
  4. State machine enters polling state
  5. Heartbeat keeps running, lastEventAt not updated
  6. After 30s, heartbeat dispatches disconnect
  7. State flips between RECONNECTING ↔ DISCONNECTED

Fixes Applied

1. Retry loop5 attempts with exponential backoff (200ms → 1s)
2. Heartbeat fixSkip polling state (has its own timeout)
3. lastEventAtUpdate on EventSource open/events
