fix: prevent spurious handshake requests from rotated peers and cover traffic

- Clean up connection states and pending messages during peer ID rotation
- Filter out rotated peer IDs in keep-alive timer to prevent validation attempts
- Add session check before sending cover traffic dummy messages
- Disable cover traffic by default (was sending without user knowledge)
- Only send screenshot notifications when session exists
- Add logging to track automatic message triggers
- Fix compilation errors (SecureLogger.privacy -> security)
