## Problem

When a listener or Psyche dies (common during development — deploys reset the script, background tasks get killed), restarting requires remembering the full poll command with all flags. There's no quick "bring it back" command.

## Solution

- `/owl reboot` — tears down and re-registers the current listener in one command. Reads info.json to reconstruct the original poll flags (mode, --live, --psyche, --pulse-interval).
- `/live revive` — tears down and re-spawns the Psyche for a given live agent. Reads the existing perch state to reconstruct the spawn.

Both should be single-command, no-arguments-needed shortcuts that just work.
