fix(android): 8s Rust timeout on audio_start; always emit connect: debug events

- engine.rs: wrap spawn_blocking(audio_start) in an 8s tokio timeout so
  the connect command fails fast with a clear error if the Oboe HAL
  never returns, instead of blocking the JS 45s timer
- lib.rs: emit_call_debug now always forwards connect: and
  register_signal: steps to the JS overlay regardless of the debug-logs
  toggle — needed because app-data clears reset the toggle to false,
  making join failures invisible on first install
- main.ts: JS timeout bumped to 45s (Rust 8s fires first); timeout
  message now includes last native connect: step so the toast is
  actionable without opening the debug log
