Subject: [PATCH] zebra-report: tap-resume reload + log retry result

Calls a.load() inside the gesture before a.play() so the retry isn't
no-op'ing on an aborted element. Adds 'click' to the listened events
since Firefox Android only grants gesture-activation on click in some
configs. Logs retry success/failure so we know what's happening.
