Fixes for 429

- persist post and thumbnail cooldowns to shared JSON state
- check global cooldown before login and before posting
- stop parallel workers from repeatedly hitting createRecord after first 429
- add clear post start/success/failure/global-cooldown logs
- reduce traceback noise for expected rate-limit failures
