ab9d21b92e fix(profiler): chunk eth_getLogs into <=10k-block windows (#108)
* fix(profiler): chunk eth_getLogs into <=10k-block windows

Public Polygon RPC providers (publicnode, ankr, llamarpc) cap eth_getLogs
at 10_000 blocks per request. The funding tracer was calling get_logs
with from_block=0 / to_block="latest", so every funding chain trace
failed in production with:

    {'code': -32701, 'message': 'exceed maximum block range: 10000'}

Resolve the symbolic range to concrete bounds (default lookback ~30 days
of Polygon blocks) and walk the window in 9_000-block chunks, oldest
first, stopping early once `limit` matches are gathered. Walking
oldest-first preserves the "first transfer" semantics the funding tracer
already relies on.

Includes 4 new tests:
- chunks_large_ranges: regression guard that no single window exceeds
  the cap
- stops_when_limit_hit_mid_walk: short-circuits once enough hits
- skips_failing_chunk: a flaky window doesn't tank the whole trace
- resolves_latest_via_block_number: from_block=0 + to_block="latest"
  resolves to the last max_lookback_blocks

The 3 pre-existing _get_transfer_logs tests now pass explicit numeric
ranges so they don't go through the latest-resolution path; coverage of
that path is moved to the new dedicated test.

* fix(profiler): cap default lookback at 80k blocks + early-break on pruned

Field-test of the chunking fix on a public Polygon RPC (publicnode)
revealed a second wall behind the first: after a chunk request lands
outside the provider's archive horizon, every subsequent chunk fails
with the same error:

  {'code': -32701, 'message': 'History has been pruned for this block.
   To remove restrictions, order a dedicated full node here: ...'}

publicnode empirically retains roughly the most recent 100_000 blocks
(~55 hours) of log history. Surveying other public free-tier RPCs:

  drpc.org      — archive, but rejects ranges >= ~1_000 blocks
  llamarpc      — empty responses on archive ranges
  ankr          — now requires API key
  blockpi/onfin — block-range limits 50–500
  1rpc.io/matic — limited to 50 blocks

Two changes to make funding traces actually return data on a public
RPC instead of swallowing 140 pruned-history warnings per wallet:

1. Lower DEFAULT_MAX_LOOKBACK_BLOCKS from 1_300_000 to 80_000. Fresh
   wallets — the population this signal exists to flag — are by
   definition new, so a ~44 hour window covers their entire funding
   history. Older wallets lose archive coverage on free RPCs but
   they're not what the fresh-wallet signal scores on anyway.

2. Detect pruned-history errors by message substring and short-circuit
   the chunk walk. Walking further back is futile once we're past the
   cutoff; bailing early avoids burning RPC quota on chunks that are
   guaranteed to fail.

Both knobs remain constructor parameters — deployments behind a paid
archive node can dial DEFAULT_MAX_LOOKBACK_BLOCKS back up.

Two new tests:
- test_get_transfer_logs_breaks_on_pruned_history: pruned error on
  chunk #2 must keep chunk #3 from ever being issued
- test_get_transfer_logs_default_lookback_fits_pruned_horizon:
  regression guard pinning the default at <= 100_000 so a future
  refactor doesn't silently re-introduce the unusable default

* fix(profiler): 0x-prefix the Transfer event topic for strict RPC providers

`HexBytes.hex()` returns a bare hex string with no `0x` prefix. publicnode
tolerates that, but drpc — which we use as the failover RPC — rejects it
outright with `invalid argument 0: hex string without 0x prefix`, and every
single eth_getLogs chunk in the funding trace fails. Once the primary is
flipped to unhealthy by any other call, the entire funding subsystem
silently produces zero rows in funding_transfers.

Switch to a precomputed `TRANSFER_EVENT_TOPIC` constant that always carries
the `0x` prefix, and add a regression test that asserts the topic shape
sent to eth_getLogs.

* fix: lint/format fixes for eth_getLogs chunking
