Replaying onboarding showed a visible probe on the 4th page because
iOS exposes no status API for the Local Network permission — the
connection attempt IS the only detector. Location and Notifications
query their status at init, so their ticks are already known when the
page appears; Local Network could only be known by probing.
Now, when onboarding is re-opened (already completed), a pre-flight
probe runs silently at open: granted connects in ms, denied reports
.waiting/.localNetworkDenied immediately, and a plain .waiting
(permission undetermined after a reinstall) cancels so page 4's
Continue still fires the prompt in context. By the time the data page
appears its tick (or denied text) is already on screen, matching the
other permission pages. First run is unchanged.
The probe result landed while the Local Network prompt was still
dismissing, so the granted tick was skipped and the page jumped
straight to the final slide. Hold 'Connected — prices will load'
on screen for a beat before auto-advancing, matching the visible
tick flow of the Location and Notifications pages.
