Subject: [PATCH] fix: address PR #144 code review feedback

Addresses all concerns raised by Copilot and Codex reviewers:

**Type Safety (Copilot #1)**:
- Remove dynamic property access `logger[logLevel]`
- Use explicit if/else with proper type checking

**Visibility (Codex #1)**:
- Non-retry errors (protobuf, parsing) always log as ERROR
- Remove warn downgrade for unexpected errors

**Defensive Coding (Copilot #3)**:
- Use `String(originalError?.message ?? originalError)`
- Prevents crashes on undefined/null message property

**Scope Creep (Codex #2)**:
- Add stack trace validation to console.log override
- Only suppress logs originating from libsignal module
- Prevents affecting unrelated application logs

**Logic Clarity (Copilot #2)**:
- Clarify that onRetry hooks handle intermediate logging
- Maintain clear distinction between retry vs non-retry errors
