- Fix client startup order: fetch/apply server UI state BEFORE loadGuilds() to prevent overwriting persisted state with default guild
- Remove auto-post of first guild in loadGuilds() — let server state drive selection
- Refactor collectWatchableChannels() to collect text channels fast first, then discover threads in parallel with 5s per-channel timeout and 30s overall timeout to prevent blocking message sync
- Ignore /favicon.ico 404 in error logging to reduce noise
Fixes:
- UI state now persists across restart (was being overwritten by client startup race)
- Backlog sync no longer hangs on thread discovery (was blocking before message sync)
- Cleaner logs without favicon 404 errors
