agessaman 505058cc90 refactor(message_handler): remove the pending-message correlation list
When a channel message had no RF log row yet, the handler stored it in pending_messages, slept 100 ms, then looked up find_recent_rf_data(payload["pubkey_prefix"]) through correlate_message_with_rf_data. Nothing else read the list: try_correlate_pending_messages only set a "processed" flag nobody checked, and cleanup_old_messages pruned it, both on every received packet.

The wait and the second lookup stay, now written out directly. Results only differ where the list misbehaved (found by codex review): two messages entering the wait in the same millisecond with the same packet prefix shared one entry, so both got the second one's row, and now each gets its own; with message_correlation_timeout under 0.1 s the entry could be pruned during the wait, skipping the second lookup; and a non-string pubkey_prefix made the per-packet scan raise, logged as "Error handling RF log data". The list's DEBUG lines are gone with it.

The list, its four methods and PendingMessageEntry were public names, so this goes in as its own change rather than a refactor.

message_correlation_timeout is still read: it bounds how old an RF row can be and still match a channel message by its contents (#255). The example configs described it as a wait time; the comment now says what it does.

New tests cover the wait (a row logged during it is found; no wait without enhanced correlation or for scope lookups). They pass against the previous code and one fails without the wait.

# #
# Minimal Configuration Example #
# #
# This is a minimal configuration file that enables only the core testing commands: #
# - ping: Simple connectivity test #
# - version (ver): Show running bot version #
# - test (t): Connection info with optional phrase #
# - path (p): Decode hex path data to show repeaters #
# - prefix: Look up repeaters by two-character prefix #
# - multitest (mt): Listen for multiple path variations #
# #
# All other commands and service plugins are explicitly disabled. This configuration is #
# intended for users who only want basic testing functionality without additional features. #
# #
# To use this configuration: #
# 1. Copy this file to config.ini #
# 2. Update the [Connection] section with your device settings #
# 3. Update the [Bot] section with your bot name and location #
# 4. Adjust other settings as needed #
# #
# To enable additional commands, set enabled = true in the appropriate command section below. #
# - Some disabled commands will require additional configuration options found in #
# config.ini.example to enable #
