Subject: [PATCH] Tolerate transient rekey cutover failures in integration test

Phase 3 (post-first-rekey connectivity) can see brief disruptions while
links are mid-cutover. Add a 5s settle time after the rekey wait and
allow up to 4 transient pair failures in Phase 3. Phase 5 remains
strict, ensuring full recovery after the second rekey cycle.
