Summary

Currently, tapping "Download data", "Update all", or "Check for new data" while offline fails silently with no user feedback.

Proposed Solution

  • Add a lightweight NetworkMonitor singleton using Apple's native NWPathMonitor
  • Hook it into DownloadStateManager to guard download actions when offline
  • Show a clear toast: "No internet connection. Please connect and try again."

Affected Areas

  • handleDownloadAction
  • checkAllForUpdates
  • handleUpdateAllLanguages

No existing logic will be changed — purely additive.
