On `docker compose up`/restart the bot and app start together. The bot's
`depends_on: app` uses `condition: service_started`, which only waits for the
app container to launch — not for its internal server (3001) to be listening
after it reaches the DB and boots Express. bootstrap.js did a single un-retried
fetch, lost that race, gave up, and left the bot disconnected while the DB
`enabled` flag stayed true — so the admin panel showed "enabled but
disconnected" until an admin toggled off/on to force a pushConfig.

Retry the boot config fetch with backoff (~1 min, 2s apart) until the app
answers: retry on network errors and 5xx, bail on 4xx (a real misconfig, not a
startup race). Also wrap discordManager.start in try/catch so a bad-token boot
logs and keeps the process alive instead of crashing it via server.js's
exit-on-start-failure.
