Description
This will likely require a complete refactor of offline mode. We want to now include caching of objects such that if a connection cannot be made to the server, these objects are uploaded at a later time. This can be merged with the offline mode concept, the difference being offline mode would be clearly stating that connection to a server is not possible, whereas a typical run would keep re-trying to upload the runs at a given interval.
This could be merged with the concept of having object orientation for Simvue objects and their storage locally.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing offline-mode implementation and the Simvue object storage path, then trace how runs are uploaded and how connection failures are handled. Done means failed connections cache objects for later upload, retry at a defined interval, and distinguish normal retries from explicitly offline mode.
