Subject: [PATCH] fix(nostr): update NostrSend type to Promise<void> with error
 handling

The NostrSend type was incorrectly typed as returning void when it actually
returns Promise<void>. This caused async errors to be silently swallowed.

Changes:
- Update NostrSend type signature to return Promise<void>
- Make NostrSender._nostrSend default to async function
- Add .catch() error handling in NostrSender.Send() to log failures
- Add logging to track event publishing status
