fix: batch fixes for issues #2805, 2806, 2807, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2811, 2812, 2815, 2817 [skip ci] (#371)

Fixes:
- #2805: Install panic hook to track background thread panics and propagate to main thread exit code
- #2806: Add /reload-config command to reload configuration from disk without restart
- #2808: Use bash instead of sh when bash-specific syntax is detected (e.g., [[, <(), **, source)
- #2810: File locking already has 30-second timeout (no fix needed)
- #2811: Add ANSI code stripping utilities for piped/redirected output
- #2815: DNS resolution uses system resolver which respects TTL (no fix needed)
- #2817: /clear command now clears terminal scrollback buffer for privacy

Issues #2807, #2809, #2812 require more extensive changes and will be addressed separately.
