Pull request overview

This PR fixes an edge case in the reconnection logic where the app backgrounds during an ongoing initial connect() call. The fix ensures that when a Recovery.Disconnect is triggered (e.g., when backgrounding), any in-flight connection attempt is properly canceled before disconnecting.

Key changes:

• Enhanced recoveryEffect() to cancel pending connect operations when disconnecting
• Reordered monitor startup to occur before token loading in connect()
• Added comprehensive test coverage for background/foreground transitions during connection attempts
