Discord: thread bindings idle + max-age lifecycle (#27845) (thanks @osolmaz)

* refactor discord thread bindings to idle and max-age lifecycle * fix: migrate legacy thread binding expiry and reduce hot-path disk writes * refactor: remove remaining thread-binding ttl legacy paths * fix: harden thread-binding lifecycle persistence * Discord: fix thread binding types in message/reply paths * Infra: handle win32 unknown inode in file identity checks * Infra: relax win32 guarded-open identity checks * Config: migrate threadBindings ttlHours to idleHours * Revert "Infra: relax win32 guarded-open identity checks" This reverts commit de94126771. * Revert "Infra: handle win32 unknown inode in file identity checks" This reverts commit 96fc5ddfb3. * Discord: re-read live binding state before sweep unbind * fix: add changelog note for thread binding lifecycle update (#27845) (thanks @osolmaz) --------- Co-authored-by: Onur Solmaz <onur@textcortex.com>
