test(expo): wait for native bootstrap before asserting 401 recovery

[wobsoriano]

Description

Two native client sync tests drove the 401 path without waiting for the native bootstrap to settle. In one, bootstrap's suppressed device token write could swallow the rotation notification, so the second recovery hit the cooldown and failed with expected 2 calls, got 1. In the other, bootstrap's failing client fetches could interleave with the counted 401 fetches. Both now drain waitForPendingJsToNativeSync() first, with the second asserting the expected bootstrap rejection.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds an empty changeset file. It also updates two native client synchronization tests to await pending bootstrap synchronization before testing token rotation and unauthenticated recovery. The rollback recovery test asserts the expected stale session 401 rejection.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 83fca

This localized test-only change waits for native bootstrap completion before asserting 401 recovery; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
