Alexander Whitestone 00b0dc8e38 graceful pause on backend failure for all loop scripts ...

- tower-hermes.sh: health check, pause file, exponential backoff, message held on failure
- tower-timmy.sh: same pattern for Ollama backend, messages held not lost
- timmy-loop.sh: pause after 2 consecutive cycle failures, backoff probe
- tower-watchdog.sh: respect .paused files, don't restart paused loops

Behavior:
  1 failure  → log warning, retry next turn
  2 failures → enter pause, write .paused file, probe with backoff
  Backend returns → auto-resume, clear pause file
  Watchdog sees .paused → skip that loop, don't fight the pause
  Messages from the other side → held in inbox, not lost
