Network loss and recovery

When the radio drops, supported actions stay on this device. The company server remains the authority after reconnect.

Screen path: amber banner Offline — showing cached data. Sync status Offline — work is saved on this device. Native Field is not the Field PWA.

Preconditions

A session already exists. First login / first bootstrap still need the network. An unreachable server does not log you out.

Loop

1. Keep working on cached jobs.
2. Ignore “clear app data” as a first step.
3. When the radio returns, open the app or tap Sync now. There is no guaranteed auto-run on Wi-Fi alone.
4. If Status is Sign in again to continue sync, sign in — do not hammer Sync.
5. Office cancel / unassign after reconnect can reject execution; revoked jobs show This job is no longer assigned. Unsynced work is saved on this device.

What works / does not work

	Works	Does not work
Cached lists	Yes	New assignments until pull
Automatic retry while running	Short backoff	Automatic retry after 401/403
Auth frozen	Stops until you sign in	Wiping the outbox

Exceptions: first login/bootstrap; auth frozen (401/403) — automatic retry stops until you sign in again. See 401.

If the banner stays after you have signal: tap Sync now. A notification is not itself a finished sync.
