Messages sent while the app was away arrive when it comes back.

Two ways a DM or a room message went missing. A phone freezing the tab
errors the relay sockets, and an errored socket is one the pool gives up
on — so every wrap subscription died silently and nothing sent after the
freeze ever arrived, until a reload. Coming back from the background (or
back online) now rebuilds the DM and room subscriptions; their windows
overlap what is held and seen wraps are dropped before any decryption.

And a remote signer that never answered was read as "this wrap isn't
ours": three such silences and the wrap was remembered as seen and lost
on that device for good. Silence now means "try later" — uncounted — and
the drain stops at the first one rather than burning tries on the rest.
