Description

Currently, if the user runs the app without internet connection the app crashes because the daemon doesn't start if there's no internet connection.

The daemon should be able to run without internet and wait until the internet connection is established.

Research direction

Start at the daemon startup path and trace the app behavior when no internet connection is available. Reproduce the crash offline and identify where startup depends on connectivity. Done means the daemon remains running without internet and waits until connectivity is restored.
