- #127316: \[Bug\]: .restart_pending.json never self-clears when one owed home channel is undeliverable — reachable channels then silently lose their "Gateway online" notice
- PR #127319: fix(gateway): settle failed startup notice targets

These items address a bug where the pending-restart marker file is not cleared when a startup notice cannot be delivered to one or more target channels, and related handling of disabled or unreachable notice targets. The work covers both the marker-clearing logic and how \`failed\` or opted-out destinations are treated during gateway startup.
