start_briefing_scheduler was called from before_serving (event loop thread)
and used run_coroutine_threadsafe(...).result() which blocks the calling
thread waiting for the coroutine to complete — but since the calling thread
IS the event loop, the coroutine could never run, causing a 10s timeout and
zero jobs scheduled.
Fix: make start_briefing_scheduler async and await _get_briefing_enabled_users()
directly. Also use asyncio.create_task for the catch-up rather than
run_coroutine_threadsafe. The background thread jobs (_run_user_slot_sync)
continue to use run_coroutine_threadsafe correctly since they run on the
APScheduler thread, not the event loop thread.
