The map email cron was marking emails as read regardless of whether processing succeeded or failed. This meant failures were silent — the email disappeared from the unread queue and nobody knew. Now only marks as read on success/partial. Failed emails stay unread and get retried on the next cron run (every 5 min). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The map email cron marked emails as read even when processing failed. This destroyed the retry opportunity and made failures invisible — the exact silent failure pattern from today's Phase 5 incident.
