After a transient Telegram 502, _handle_polling_network_error's stop()+start_polling() cycle can leave PTB's Updater with `running=True` but a wedged consumer task that never makes progress. No error_callback fires in that state, so the reconnect ladder never advances past attempt 1, the MAX_NETWORK_RETRIES fatal-error path is never reached, and the gateway sits silent indefinitely. Schedule a heartbeat probe (60s after a successful reconnect) that verifies Updater.running is still True and bot.get_me() responds within a tight asyncio.wait_for timeout. Either failure feeds back into the reconnect ladder so the existing escalation path fires. No PTB-internal coupling, no Application rebuild — minimal additive defense inside the existing reconnect abstraction. Tests cover healthy / Updater non-running / probe timeout / probe network error / already-fatal cases, plus an integration check that the probe is actually scheduled after a successful start_polling(). Closes the silent-wedge case observed in the wild after a transient Telegram 502; existing reconnect tests updated to mock bot.get_me() now that the success path schedules a heartbeat probe.
