QConnect is unavailable in any offline flavor: connect() refuses while
offline (toast + same reset path as the api gate), a watcher subscribed to
the engine force-disconnects through the exact manual-disconnect path on
every offline edge (badges and lifecycle clear identically), an end-of-
connect re-check closes the flip-while-connecting race, and the session
loop host skips its controller re-join while offline. No auto-reconnect on
the online edge by design. The shared remote stream feeder stays ungated
(it also serves Plex, which must survive induced offline).
main.rs carries the wiring for all three slice-3 pieces: the offline
force-disconnect spawn, the offline-gated save-as artwork fallback, and
the favorites disk seed in both shell entries.
