RevenueCat webhook delivery order bug can revert subscription states

A common issue with integrating RevenueCat webhooks has been identified, where the order of event delivery can lead to incorrect subscription states. Specifically, retried webhook deliveries might arrive out of sequence with newer events, causing the system to incorrectly process older states like expirations after newer ones like renewals. This can result in a customer's subscription being erroneously canceled. The recommended solution involves not treating webhook payloads as direct commands, but rather storing the event and then querying RevenueCat for the current active entitlements to ensure the system reflects the true subscription status, regardless of delivery order.
