refactor: implement proper flight mode detection for highlights

- Always publish to all relays but track which ones are actually connected
- isLocalOnly = true when only local relays are connected (flight mode)
- Store event in EventStore first for immediate UI display
- Track actually connected relays instead of guessing based on connection status
- This should fix the airplane icon not showing in flight mode
