fix: strip repeated heartbeat ok tails

CHANGELOG.md

 - Group chat activation modes: per-group `/activation mention|always` command with status visibility.
 
 ### Fixes
+- Heartbeat replies now strip repeated `HEARTBEAT_OK` tails to avoid accidental “OK OK” spam.
 - WhatsApp send now preserves existing JIDs (including group `@g.us`) instead of coercing to `@s.whatsapp.net`. (Thanks @arun-8687.)
 - Telegram/WhatsApp: native replies now target the original inbound message; reply context is appended to `Body` and captured in `ReplyTo*` fields. (Thanks @joshp123 for the PR and follow-up question.)
 - WhatsApp web creds persistence hardened; credentials are restored before auth checks and QR login auto-restarts if it stalls.
