fix: bound publish_interaction so a hung Windows backend can't freeze the SessionStart hook

[smoochy]

Containment for #109 (root cause tracked in ReflexioAI/reflexio: ReflexioAI/reflexio#295). Runs the publish under an 8s wall-clock cap; on timeout returns False and the unpublished buffer retries next turn. Refs #109.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • publish now enforces a short wall-clock timeout for send operations, so the app won’t hang if delivery stalls.
  • If publishing doesn’t complete within the timeout, the attempt is treated as failed to allow buffering/retries instead of blocking.
• Tests
  • Added a regression test to verify fail-fast behavior when the underlying publish call hangs and completes within a bounded time.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adapter.publish now runs client.publish_interaction in a background daemon thread with a wall-clock join timeout and returns False on timeout instead of blocking indefinitely. A regression test covers the hanging-client case.

Changes

Publish Timeout Enforcement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Threaded publish with timeout plugin/src/claude_smart/reflexio_adapter.py	Adds threading support, defines _PUBLISH_WALL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, and changes Adapter.publish to join a daemon thread around client.publish_interaction, returning False when the timeout is exceeded or when the call fails.
Hanging client regression test tests/test_adapter.py	Adds a regression test that simulates a stalled client, shortens the timeout, and asserts publish() returns False quickly without crashing.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

- Around line 130-146: The exception handling around publish_interaction is no
longer covering failures once _do_publish runs in the background thread. Update
the Reflexio adapter’s _do_publish helper in reflexio_adapter.py to catch
exceptions from client.publish_interaction(**kwargs) inside the worker thread,
log or record the failure, and ensure the thread cannot emit an unhandled
traceback; keep the worker/thread timeout behavior and only set result["ok"]
after a successful publish.

Thanks for the review — addressed in 1dd6582: the publish now runs under a try/except inside the worker thread, and a captured exception is surfaced as a warning + False after join, so a connection failure is contained instead of leaking a thread traceback.
