fix: codex review — safe ack, dream stops worker, graceful errors

Worker:
- Only ack inbox items if Claude succeeds (prevents losing work on crash)
- Graceful error if colony not in PATH (no panic)
- Check colony inbox exit code before parsing
- Per-agent prompt path (/tmp/colony-{name}-prompt.md)

Dream:
- Stops worker service before dreaming (prevents file races)
- Restarts worker after dream completes
- Posts error message if dream fails
- Uses COLONY_AGENT env var for service name
