Summary

  • Add AuthStatus.offline and distinguish NetworkException from HTTP 401 in AuthNotifier.verify()
  • Persist has_ever_logged_in flag; splash lands returning users on the briefing (not login) when the server is unreachable
  • New OfflineBanner widget with retry button, mounted in _Shell for both narrow and wide layouts
  • Router redirect updated to treat offline + ever-logged-in as allowed navigation

Why

Previously, if the backend was unreachable at launch, the splash screen routed to the login screen. The server URL stayed in SharedPreferences but visually appeared lost — frustrating for any user who isn't the service operator.

Tier 2 followup

Real offline mode (local store, per-provider last-good caching, edit reconciliation) is tracked as Fable task #147 and is explicitly out of scope for this PR.

Test plan

  • Launch app with backend reachable, logged-in cookies → briefing opens (no banner)
  • Kill backend, relaunch app → briefing opens with offline banner, Retry button responds
  • Fresh install with backend unreachable → login screen (no banner, has_ever_logged_in = false)
  • Backend returns 401 on verify → login screen (not offline banner)
