Do not commit cleanup before durable node removal is established.

remove_expired_users commits the deletion before sync_remove_users starts background work. In the core path, NodeNatsClient.publish returns when NATS is unavailable and suppresses publish failures. The node worker and NodeManager.update_users also schedule work without waiting for queue establishment.

A publish or dispatch failure can therefore occur after the database commit but before a durable removal entry exists. The removed active or on-hold user can remain on the node without an automatic retry.

Make this cleanup path use a durable outbox or tombstone that is recorded before the deletion is finalized and retried until node removal is acknowledged. Propagate publish and dispatch failures to that mechanism. Queue retry logic cannot recover a command that was never queued.

Review comment at @app/operation/user.py around lines 1658 - 1659:
Update remove_expired_users and the sync_remove_users flow so a durable removal
record exists before the database deletion is finalized, and retry removal until
the node acknowledges it. Ensure publish and dispatch failures reach the retry
mechanism rather than being suppressed or left as unawaited background work.
