Subject: [PATCH] Fix healthcheck to verify PID and add DM-only conversational
 mode

- 6a: Change healthcheck in Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to verify
  the PID file exists and the process is alive (kill -0) instead of
  testing SQLite connectivity, which only proves the DB file exists
- 6b: In DMs, skip !commands so MeshMonitor or other bots handle them.
  MeshAI only responds conversationally in DMs (no bang commands)
