If the NATS server fails to start (stale lock files, corrupt store
from a crash), automatically clean the data directory and retry once.
This prevents the frustrating "NATS server failed to start" error
after unclean shutdowns.
The NATS KV data (registered services) is also stored as YAML files
in the services directory, so cleaning the NATS store loses nothing
— services are re-registered on the next startup or API call.

Central now starts an embedded NATS JetStream server as its core
coordination bus. This provides:
- wild-services KV bucket: service registrations from Cloud/Works
- wild-presence KV bucket: node liveness with TTL-based keys
- wild-events stream: events from all sources (24h retention)
NATS is started in main.go before the API and shut down on SIGTERM.
Cloud and Works will connect to Central's NATS (port 4222) to register
services and maintain presence.
