The admin whitelist hydrates asynchronously (remote fetch, then a second
hex-pubkey rebuild once NostrTools loads) and does not always emit a
change we can hook — e.g. loaded-from-cache-unchanged, or the async hex
rebuild that emits nothing. So at startup getWhitelistPubkeys() was empty,
resolveFilters() returned null, no subscription opened, and the
onWhitelistChange restart never fired: ingest stayed silent even when a
whitelisted author had foreign NIP-71 videos on the relays.
Fix: bounded retry (every 2s, ~60s) that re-attempts opening the
subscription until the author scope hydrates, in addition to the
onWhitelistChange listener. Author-scoping is kept deliberately — a broad
kinds:[21,22,...] subscription would be a REQ firehose that violates
bitvid's relay fan-out invariants.
Also adds dev-mode logging (subscribe author/kind count; per-flush events
in / injected) so ingest is observable in the console.
Tests: new race test (empty whitelist at start -> authors hydrate without
an emit -> retry subscribes); mutation-verified.
