+ *
+ * Triggered by:
+ *   - app start (MinstrelApplication @Inject forces the singleton's

+ *   - every time AuthStore.sessionCookie transitions to a non-null
+ *     value (sign-in, app launch with persisted cookie)

+ * job that re-tries on Wi-Fi-came-back is a follow-up; for MVP the
+ * sign-in + app-open triggers cover the common offline → online
+ * transition (operator unlocks phone, opens app).
+ *
+ * Failed rows stay in the queue with their `attempts` and
+ * `lastAttemptAt` updated. They get another chance on the next
+ * trigger; no exponential backoff or max-attempts yet — the rows are
+ * small (low single-digit count for typical use) so retry-forever is
