The salvaged hardening tests matched main.ts source text to assert that
fetchConnectionStatus reaches for a bearer and that Apply preflights before
persisting. A rename breaks them while a real auth regression that keeps the
substrings passes.
Make the preflight a first-class option on applyConnectionConfigAtomically so
its ordering is observable, and assert it through the seam: preflight runs
before either write, and a rejected preflight leaves both stores and the
activation untouched.
