Remote Control sessions can now delay and tune how the very first streamed event is sent to the backend

What

The client that uploads events for Remote Control (bridge) sessions gained a new streamEventFirstFlushMs setting, alongside an existing setStreamEventFlushIntervalMs setter:

  • When streamEventFirstFlushMs is set to a value greater than zero, the very first stream_event is buffered as ephemeral instead of being sent immediately, short-circuiting the normal flush-interval batching just for that first event.
  • Both the flush interval and this new first-flush delay are now pushed into the client at runtime via the periodic config-apply routine, alongside the existing no-subscriber flush interval, no-subscriber upload hold, and drop-unwatched-events settings.
  • The setting defaults to 0 (no delay) and is read from remote config.

Why

This gives finer control over how quickly the first event of a Remote Control session reaches the backend, which can be tuned separately from the steady-state flush interval used for events after a subscriber is actively watching.
