Problem

In open_st_pr_packs() (helpers/main.py ~line 1796-1803), after cards are displayed, scout opportunities are created one at a time with a 2-second asyncio.sleep() between each pack:

For 5 packs this adds ~8 seconds of intentional delay after the user already sees their cards.

Proposed Fix

Use asyncio.gather() to create all scout opportunities simultaneously
Remove or significantly reduce the asyncio.sleep(2) — investigate why it was added (rate limiting? race condition?) and address the root cause instead

Impact

Eliminates ~8 seconds of post-display delay for 5-pack opens. Lower priority since it happens after cards are shown, but still a noticeable UX drag.
