fix: support multiple listeners and report connectivity accurately - #123
Conversation
addListener replaced the previous listener and any unsubscribe stopped monitoring for every caller, so two subscribers silently deafened each other. Listeners are now kept side by side and each unsubscribe removes only its own. iOS reported disconnected until NWPathMonitor's first update, and the getters stayed false forever when nobody had called addListener. The monitor now starts with the object and waits briefly for its first path. Android emitted disconnected on every onLost, including a Wi-Fi to cellular handover while cellular was already up. Status is now derived from every network offering internet, and only emitted when it changes.

📝 Walkthrough
Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to On iOS, if the first network path report is slow, listeners can show a device as disconnected until the network state next changes. This is a narrow, self-recovering edge case, so the change is mergeable with a small follow-up fix. Pre-merge checks |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Late first path is never delivered to listeners.
init waits for the first path for at most 500 ms. If the first path arrives after that timeout, update(with:) still sets isFirst = true and suppresses the delegate call. During that window, listeners receive the placeholder status isConnected: false, connectionType: .unknown, either from the getters or from the initial addListener callback. When the real path arrives later, nothing notifies them. On a connected device, they keep the "disconnected" status until the next real path change.
Only suppress the notification when init is still waiting. Record whether init has returned, and notify when the status changed after that point.

… iOS Android getters called activeNetwork and getNetworkCapabilities, two binder calls into system_server, synchronously on the JS thread for every read. The network callback now runs for the object's lifetime and keeps a volatile status current from the capabilities it is handed, so a read is one volatile load. Callbacks that change nothing a reader sees, such as cellular signal strength, emit nothing. iOS waited for the first network path inside init, blocking the JS thread at module load. Only a getter read before that first path waits now; listeners never block, and a listener added early receives the first path.

Fixes three bugs that made the library unreliable once more than one part of an app used it. The public API is unchanged.
1. A second listener silently cut off the first
Before: when
TripScreenmounts, itsaddListenerreplaces the banner's, because the native side keeps one callback. The banner never hears another change. WhenTripScreenunmounts, its unsubscribe stops monitoring for everyone, so nothing in the app hears about the network again until something subscribes afresh. Nothing errors.After: both listeners receive every change, and each unsubscribe removes only its own listener.
2. iOS: "offline" at every launch, and getters stuck at
falseBefore (iOS):
isConnectedisfalseforever if nothing has calledaddListener, because the monitor only started insideaddListener. SoshowOfflineScreen()runs on every launch, even on Wi-Fi.false, sent before the monitor's first answer, thentruea moment later. Any offline banner flashes at every cold start.After: monitoring starts when the module is created and waits briefly (usually a few milliseconds) for the first real answer. The getters are correct without any listener, and a new listener's first value is the true state.
3. Android: a Wi-Fi → cellular handover reported as "offline"
Before (Android): walking out of Wi-Fi range with mobile data on sends
{ isConnected: false }fromonLost, even though cellular was already carrying traffic. ThenonAvailablesendstrue. So uploads pause at every doorway and every Wi-Fi drop, and anything that shows "offline" flickers.onAvailablealso often fires several times, so listeners received duplicate events.After: the library tracks every network that has internet. Losing Wi-Fi while cellular is up arrives as a single event,
{ isConnected: true, connectionType: 'cellular' }. Offline is reported only when no internet network is left, and an event fires only when the status actually changes.Performance
system_server.isConnectedandconnectionTypeused to make two binder calls (activeNetwork,getNetworkCapabilities) synchronously on the JS thread on every read. The network callback now keeps a volatile status current from the capabilities it is handed, so a read is a single volatile load. Callbacks that change nothing a reader sees (cellular signal strength fires every few seconds) emit nothing.
