KeyError in LiveKit SDK room listener on track_unpublished event #747
Describe the bug
When a track_unpublished event is received for a publication that is no longer present in the participant's internal _track_publications map, the SDK raises an unhandled KeyError, which is logged as error running user callback for track_unpublished.
error running user callback for track_unpublished: room_handle: 4
track_unpublished {
participant_identity: "participant_C7A33F70-..."
publication_sid: "TR_ACUVxvupEqihta"
}

Origin: LiveKit RTC SDK (livekit/rtc/room.py)
A race condition in the SDK where a track_unpublished event is processed for a publication SID that has already been removed (e.g. participant disconnect / duplicate event). The .pop() call has no default, so a missing key raises KeyError.
