refactor(custom): move continuous exec onto GLib command stream

Replace the custom module's continuous getline() worker with the new GLib-backed command stream helper.

This moves line delivery, child exit handling, and restart scheduling onto the main loop so continuous commands no longer depend on a blocking FILE* read inside SleeperThread.

The behavior is kept aligned with the old module semantics: stdout lines still emit updates, non-zero exits still surface as errors, and restart-interval still respawns the command.
