Fix task looping: increase stale recovery to 6h, add file logging, use UNC paths

- Stale task recovery threshold 2h → 6h to prevent resetting tasks while Cora is still running
- Add rotating file logger (WARNING+) to logs/cheddahbot.log for debugging
- Silence httpx/httpcore INFO spam from terminal
- Switch watch folder paths from Z: drive letters to UNC paths to avoid intermittent mount drops
- Fix test_db tests to add messages so list_conversations includes them
