test(core): try_config_reload propagation and parse-failure safety

[cursor]

Risky behavior now covered

• try_config_reload() swaps live config, updates router live pointer, and queues stale config
• Parse failures during SIGHUP reload keep the previous live config

Test files added/updated

• tests/test_reload.c
• tests/reload_propagation_shim.c (subsystem propagation stubs)
• Makefile (link try_config_reload without gc-sections stripping)

Why these tests reduce regression risk

Reload is a hot-path for production config changes. Without propagation tests, a regression could leave providers/channels on stale config after SIGHUP or swap to broken config on parse errors.

Validation

make test_reload && ./build/test_reload

Closing as duplicate — equivalent coverage already exists on development.

Existing coverage: tests/test_reload.c includes test_try_config_reload_swaps_live_config, test_try_config_reload_keeps_old_on_invalid_file, test_try_config_reload_null_args_noop, and stale-queue tests (test_stale_enqueue_*). Reload stubs live under tests/stubs/ (http_reload_stub.c, bootstrap_dispatch_stub.c, reload_channel_stub.c, tool_reload_stub.c).

Wrong base branch: This PR targets main. Project convention (AGENTS.md) is to open PRs against development first.

CI failure: The branch fails to link with undefined reference to http_set_live_config because the reload test stubs are not present on the main-based build path.

Any net-new work from this automation will be cherry-picked separately in later cleanup steps (#42, #40, #39).
