feat(transport): port the admin RPC off NDK onto the relay pool (#42)
Some checks are pending
Docker image / build-and-push-image (push) Waiting to run

Third increment of the NDK -> nostr-tools transport swap. The admin interface's
runtime RPC now runs on the RelayPool transport, so the admin channel — like the
signer channel — re-subscribes on every relay reconnect and can't go silently
deaf after a flap (#41).

- nip46/transport.ts is now a full RPC: besides serving inbound requests it
  routes inbound RESPONSES to one-shot handlers (the pending map) and can
  sendRequest() — needed for the interactive approval flow (bunker -> operator
  "acl" request). start() takes the kinds to listen on; sendResponse() takes the
  response kind. The signer backend is unaffected (still one kind, response-only).
- admin/index.ts: rebuilt on RelayPool + Nip46Transport instead of NDK + NDKNostrRpc
  + attachIndefiniteReconnect. `rpc` is a small adapter the command handlers keep
  calling; it resolves each request's envelope scheme (nip04/nip44) by id and
  publishes on the admin channel (24134). requestPermission/Response use
  transport.sendRequest + nip19 instead of NDKNostrRpc + NDKUser. The
  connectedRelays()-only watchdog is replaced by a session-liveness one on
  pool.healthy() (connected AND subscribed) — the check the old one couldn't make
  (#20/#41).
- admin/types.ts: AdminRpcRequest / AdminRpc replace NDKRpcRequest / NDKNostrRpc.
  The ~16 command + validation handlers swap the import only (they use
  req.{id,pubkey,method,params,event.kind}); no logic change.
- admin/kinds.ts: plain numeric kinds (24133/24134), no NDKKind type dep.
- relay-reconnect.ts deleted — its job (reconnect) now lives in the pool, and its
  blind spot (no resubscribe) is exactly what #41 was.

Still on NDK (not transport, addressed separately): the one-shot boot DM
(notifyAdminsOnBoot, throwaway NDK over public relays), key generation in
create_new_key/create_account, the getKeys npub helper, and the standalone CLI
client (src/client.ts).

Tests (tests/admin-transport.test.ts): a request on 24133 is answered on 24134
and survives a relay flap; the sendRequest + response-routing approval flow round-
trips. lifecycle 7 / relay 2 / nip46 1 / admin 2 all green; daemon bundles clean;
zero new type errors.

/**
* Attaches an aggressive-reconnect supervisor to an NDK instance.
*
* NDK 3.x's per-relay connectivity state machine gives up retrying after
* a few consecutive fast-fail (e.g. ECONNREFUSED returns in <1 ms)
* connection attempts:
*
* 1. Each attempt's duration is recorded in `_connectionStats.durations`.
* 2. After every 3 attempts, `isFlapping()` checks the std-dev of those
* durations against `FLAPPING_THRESHOLD_MS` (1 second). Three fast
* failures look identical tiny std-dev flapping=true status
* transitions to FLAPPING and the per-relay retry stops.
* 3. `NDKPool.handleFlapping` catches the event and reschedules a
* reconnect via doubling backoff (5s 10s 20s 40s 80s ),
* growing unbounded.
*
* For nsecbunkerd, where the admin relay is typically a single relay we
* **must** stay subscribed to, "disconnected for 80+s after every dev
* restart" is the failure mode users hit (aiolabs/nsecbunkerd#20). The
* pool's doubling backoff is too pessimistic for our use case.
*
* This helper sidesteps the give-up path: when the pool emits `flapping`
* (the symptom that NDK has internally given up), or when we see the
* relay disconnect outside our own request, we manually call
* `relay.connect()` with a SHORT capped delay. Successful connect resets
* the attempt counter so a future disconnect storm doesn't grow the
* delay.
*
* Trade-off: we may hammer a permanently-down relay every 10s. That's
* fine for a bunker being disconnected silently is strictly worse than
* a retry storm against localhost. Acceptable because:
* - The bunker's primary relay is typically on the same host or LAN
* (`ws://lnbits:5001/...`); TCP RSTs are cheap.
* - Public-relay setups can layer external supervision on top if they
* care about retry pressure.
