Improves clarity and consistency throughout mobile pairing, settings,
and permission descriptions. Makes the distinction from Tailscale
more explicit where relevant. Updates all translated locales.
The rpc-client has always emitted a detailed connection lifecycle log
(dials, timeouts, close codes, handshake steps, retries) via onLog, but
only the pairing screen wired it up — for long-lived host connections
everything went to console.log, invisible to users. Debugging reports
like #7824/#6928 meant asking reporters for facts the app already knew.
- connection-log-buffer: bounded (200/host) module-level ring buffer with
referentially-stable snapshots for useSyncExternalStore; survives
client swaps and provider remounts.
- client-context: wire onLog for every shared host client.
- connection-log screen: live per-host log (reuses the pairing
ConnectionLog component), host picker, and a Copy Diagnostics button
that bundles app/platform versions, endpoint (flagged if Tailscale),
state, attempt count, last-connected, and the event log into one
shareable blob.
- troubleshoot: 'View connection log' entry point.

A wedged Tailscale tunnel (known iOS failure mode) produces no AppState
or network-type transition, so no revival nudge ever fires and the
reconnect loop parked permanently at its give-up cap — users had to
toggle Tailscale off/on just to force a transition (#7824).
- rpc-client: past the give-up cap, drop to a 90s trickle dial instead
of parking so the session self-heals once the tunnel recovers.
- host screen: nudge the shared client on focus so opening the host
retries immediately instead of waiting out a backoff/trickle timer.
- connection-health: warning/unreachable verdicts on 100.64/10 or
*.ts.net endpoints now carry a 'check Tailscale' hint, shown on the
home host list and the in-session status line after ~3 failed
attempts.
- troubleshoot: 'Cannot reach <tailnet-ip>' now says to check
Tailscale, adds a dedicated Tailscale section, and stops telling
Tailscale users to disable their VPN (that advice killed their only
route to the host); sections extracted to
troubleshoot-common-issues.tsx to stay under the max-lines cap.
