Message reception mechanism in `claude-peers-mcp` when channels are disabled.

Reliable message delivery and robust fallback mechanisms, especially in enterprise environments with restricted feature sets.
The `claude-peers-mcp` system fails to receive messages when 'channels' are not enabled, a common restriction in enterprise accounts. The core issue is that messages are marked as delivered by the polling loop but then silently dropped because the channel push fails. This design flaw prevents mes...
