fix(scheduler): treat /api/email/unread-state as passive UI poll (#6009)

Background scheduled agent runs were aborted as "Stopped by user" when
the web UI was merely open, because the idle /api/email/unread-state
poll was counted as foreground activity while its sibling
/api/email/urgency-state was already excluded.

Fixes #5981
