P2 Badge Avoid interactive offline prompt in resume handler

Calling ensureOnline() in the powerMonitor resume callback makes every wake-from-sleep path inherit startup behavior that shows a synchronous “Wait/Quit” dialog (and can call app.quit()) when connectivity is missing for ~15 seconds. In practice, users who resume without network (airplane/train, captive portal, Wi‑Fi still reconnecting) can get an unexpected blocking prompt or have the app quit even though they did not explicitly relaunch; this is a regression in the resume flow and should use a non-interactive connectivity wait/fallback.
