Gate Finch data reads on the initial_data_sync succeeded webhook events

Steps
After a new connection is established, listen for job.initial_data_sync_org.succeeded and job.initial_data_sync_payroll.succeeded webhook events rather than polling immediately
Treat calls to org endpoints (directory, individual, company) as safe only after the org sync event fires
Treat calls to payroll endpoints (payment, pay_statement) as safe only after the payroll sync event fires
Handle 202 or 500 responses gracefully if a request is made before the corresponding sync event - these are expected transient states, not permanent failures
After initial sync, switch to listening for data-change events (created/updated/deleted per endpoint) to stay current instead of re-polling everything
Known gotchas
The two initial-sync events (org vs payroll) fire independently and are not guaranteed to complete at the same time
job.{job_type}.completed fires on both success and failure - you still need to fetch the job by job_id/job_url to check its actual outcome
Benefit write jobs (benefit_create, benefit_register, benefit_enroll, benefit_unenroll, benefit_update) must be checked via their completion event if your app writes deductions - Finch calls this out as a required-event case
