Subject: [PATCH] fix(discord): ignore system messages so thread renames don't
 reach the agent

A thread rename emits a messageCreate system message whose content is the
new thread name. With no system-message guard it was enqueued to the agent
as a bare message. Filter message.system early (also drops pins, joins, etc).
