Added extensive diagnostic logging for Transmission connectivity

- Completely rewrote retry_command to show detailed output on each attempt
- Added direct Transmission connectivity test before using retry logic
- Added line-by-line analysis of Transmission command output
- Added test fallback ID in dry-run mode to verify downstream processing
- Added connection parameter logging (with redacted password)
