The bot runs on its own host and exports no telemetry (otelcol is unreachable
from there), so it was a monitoring blind spot. Observe its Bot API health
centrally by wrapping the HTTP client — one place, no per-call-site
instrumentation — and relay it up the existing bot-link as a periodic Health
message the gateway turns into its own metrics.

- proto: add Health (delta connect / api / 429 counters + a last-ok stamp) to
  the FromBot oneof (additive, backward-compatible).
- bot: platform/telegram/internal/health wraps the Bot API HTTP client — it
  stamps liveness on any 2xx (so the getUpdates long-poll keeps it fresh even
  when idle), classifies transport/5xx failures (getUpdates vs other) and 429s,
  and honours a 429's Retry-After (bounded) so the bot backs off; a 4xx other
  than 429 is a normal per-request outcome and is not counted.
- bot-link client: flush the reporter as a Health message every 30s over a
  single-sender loop (a gRPC stream forbids concurrent Send).
- gateway: fold each report into bot_tg_errors_total{kind} and the
  bot_tg_last_ok_unix liveness gauge.
- grafana: alerts (bot disconnected, bot not reaching the Bot API, sustained
  429s) routed to the operator email — which does not go through the bot — plus
  a Telegram-bot dashboard.
- docs (ARCHITECTURE, compose comments); unit tests (observer classification,
  Retry-After, snapshot/commit, hub last-ok monotonicity).

// Package health tracks the Telegram bot's Bot API health and reports it to the gateway over the
// bot-link. The bot exports no telemetry of its own — otelcol lives on the main host, unreachable
// from the bot host — so the gateway turns these reports into its own metrics (see
// gateway/internal/botlink). Health is observed CENTRALLY by wrapping the Bot API HTTP client
// ([Reporter.Wrap]); every request is classified there with no per-call-site instrumentation.
