fix: prevent daemon silent death from SIGHUP + unhandled errors

Root cause: registerSignalHandlers() handled SIGTERM/SIGINT but not
SIGHUP. When the parent hook process exits, the kernel sends SIGHUP
to the daemon, causing immediate termination (default signal action).

Belt-and-suspenders fix:
1. SIGHUP handler: ignore in daemon mode, graceful shutdown otherwise
2. setsid: spawn daemon in new session on Linux (prevents SIGHUP delivery)
3. Global unhandledRejection/uncaughtException guards in daemon mode
