## Objective
Verify background network quality checks run at the right moments and only interrupt the UI on state change.

## Preconditions
- See [[PRE-OV-logged-in-online]]

## Steps
1. When the employee navigates between pages OR triggers a backend-heavy action

## Expected Result
- Then the system performs a network quality check at that moment
- And classifies GOOD → live-backend Fully Online, NO CONNECTION → routes based on downloaded data existence
- And when state is UNCHANGED the check is silent with no UI interruption
- And when state CHANGES it triggers the appropriate downstream UI per the routing matrix

## Source Traceability
- TSD: PK144
- Section: C7 - Network Quality Detection & State-Driven Drawer Mechanics
- Scenario: C7.1 - Continuous network monitoring (background)
- Acceptance Criteria: E1.US-1 AC1–AC5

## Evidence Required
- Instrumented logs of checks on navigation/backend actions; UI silent when unchanged.

## Notes / Gaps
- Testing Concern #26 (Medium): battery impact. #27 (Medium): check frequency (interval vs event-driven). #29 (Medium): session boundary definition.
