> Description

> When building a Windows MAUI app, the NetworkAccess will sometimes return Local for laptop connected via Wifi with Tailscale installed and the Tailscale interface shows up before the wifi Interface in the Control Panel Network Connections screen. I think that the logic may be picking the first connection when you may have more than one connection which is unexpected as Windows itself reports you have internet access but the app thinks you don't.
Based on https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/22228#issuecomment-2109365568, we're directly accessing Windows APIs to read network status instead of MAUI's layer: https://github.com/bcgov-c/mcfd-mobility/pull/230

Research direction
Start by reading the linked .NET MAUI issue 22228 and its referenced comment, then review the linked mobility pull request for how Windows network status is accessed. Confirm whether the reported Tailscale/Wi-Fi ordering affects this repository or belongs upstream, and document a reproducible result and the appropriate ownership of the fix.
