- Initialized `webhook-delivery` BullMQ queue in `src/jobs/webhookDelivery.ts`. - Built a Worker to execute POST requests via native `fetch` with 10s timeout. - Added HMAC SHA256 signing for payload security. - Included robust unit tests mocking fetch to verify retries and backoff.

Problem
The backend requires a resilient mechanism to reliably deliver webhooks to off-chain clients with support for retries and backoff when transient network failures or downtime occur.
Solution
This PR implements a dedicated
BullMQjob queue (webhook-delivery) backed by the shared Redis instance. It includes an autonomous worker that handles HTTPPOSTdispatching with automated backoff/retry policies and HMAC request signing.Key Changes:
src/jobs/webhookDelivery.tsto manage thewebhook-deliveryqueue, automatically retrying failed jobs up to 5 times with exponential backoff.fetchrequests with a 10-secondAbortControllertimeout. Non-2xx responses correctly throw errors to natively leverage BullMQ's automatic backoff mechanics.X-Signatureheader via HMAC SHA256 when a payload secret is provided.tests/jobs/webhookDelivery.test.tsto verify successful delivery, secure signing, and failure behaviors using global fetch mocking.Verification
