Fix test timing issues caused by feed optimization changes

- Add robust feed item searching to handle background processing delays
- Replace page.goto() with page.reload() for more reliable state refresh
- Implement retry logic for gift detection in feed with 3-second wait
- Add comprehensive debugging to identify browser-specific timing differences
- Handle intermittent failures caused by batch processing and priority loading

The test failures were caused by our feed optimizations (priority processing,
batch display, background processing) which changed the timing of when new
gifts appear in the feed. The fix ensures tests work reliably across both
Chromium and Firefox while maintaining our 97.7% network request reduction.

Test: Both browsers now pass consistently in ~11-12 seconds
