Revert "Pass entropy source when queueing monitor event"

This reverts commit 6798ec9406e3f7dc7247e7423637c8d9ed98ace3.

We previously used the entropy source to generate random monitor event IDs, but
have since started generating the IDs deterministically.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward code cleanup: it removes an unused 'entropy source' argument that was previously passed around when creating monitor events. The project now generates those event IDs deterministically, so the randomness source is no longer needed. There is no indication this fixes a security bug; it is an API simplification and refactoring change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API refactor; downstream callers will need to remove the entropy_source argument when upgrading, but this is a compatibility change, not a security patch.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant behavioral change: only removes an unused parameter

02

Deterministic monitor event IDs already in place before this revert

03

No mention of vulnerability, CVE, bug bounty, or security fix in commit message

04

No cryptographic operation is altered; entropy source was only used for event ID randomness, which is now gone
