perf(#1262): /api/nodes?limit=2000 cold-miss 15.7s → <100ms — prewarm repeater enrichment cache (#1263)

RED commit: `22ce5736066142583017cad7303fa48d9e00ccf0` — CI on red:
https://github.com/Kpa-clawbot/CoreScope/actions?query=branch%3Afix%2Fissue-1262

## Problem
After #1260 added a 15s-TTL bulk cache for repeater enrichment in
`handleNodes`,
`/api/nodes` (default limit) dropped to ~500ms. But
`/api/nodes?limit=2000` —
called by `public/live.js` at SPA startup for hop resolution — still
took
**15.7s cold** on staging (75k tx, 600 nodes). Warm hits were ~40ms.

Root cause: the bulk cache was lazily populated on the first request
after
TTL expiry. The rebuild ran on the request-serving goroutine. Every cold
SPA
load triggered the rebuild and ate 15s.

## Fix
Add `StartRepeaterEnrichmentRecomputer` — a steady-state background
recomputer that mirrors the `analytics_recomputer.go` pattern from
#1240:

- **Prewarm**: initial synchronous compute on Start so the first request
  hits a populated cache.
- **Steady-state**: ticker refreshes the snapshot every 5min
(configurable
  via the existing analytics recompute interval knob).
- **Panic-safe** + idempotent Start.

Wired into `main.go` right after `StartAnalyticsRecomputers`, using
`cfg.GetHealthThresholds().RelayActiveHours` as the window.

## Test
`TestHandleNodesLimit2000ColdMiss` — seeds 600 nodes + 150k non-advert
tx with repeaters indexed under a shared 1-byte hop prefix (matches
production hop-prefix collisions), starts the recomputer, then issues
`/api/nodes?limit=2000` with **no HTTP warmup**.

| State | Latency |
|---|---|
| Before (master, on-thread rebuild) | 3.37s |
| After (prewarm + steady-state) | 56ms |
| Budget | 2s |

Staging end-to-end: 15.7s → expected sub-100ms on the same call path.

Red commit (`22ce5736066142583017cad7303fa48d9e00ccf0`) compiles with a
no-op stub of the new method so the
test fails on the latency **assertion**, not a missing symbol.

Fixes #1262

// TestHandleNodesLimit2000ColdMiss is a regression guard for issue #1262.
//
// Background: PR #1260 added a 15s-TTL bulk-cache for repeater
// enrichment in handleNodes (GetRepeaterRelayInfoMap /
// GetRepeaterUsefulnessScoreMap). On warm hits the request is ~40ms.
// On the very first request after server startup (or after the 15s TTL
// expires) the cache rebuild runs on the request-serving goroutine and
// is O(byPathHop + parsed timestamps). On staging (75k tx, 600 nodes)
// the cold rebuild took 15.7s.
//
// /api/nodes?limit=2000 is the SPA's hop-resolver bootstrap call (see
// public/live.js) so EVERY cold SPA load eats the cold-rebuild cost.
//
// Acceptance: /api/nodes?limit=2000 must return in <2s on a
// realistic-shape fleet WITHOUT a prior warmup request — i.e. once the
// store has been initialized and the steady-state repeater-enrichment
// recomputer prewarm has run.
