Motivation

The server health check was failing to run in the background. It turns out that CapacitorKV and @capacitor/preferences do not share data despite using the the same data store (UserDefaults and SharedPreferences). This meant the background worker was unable to retrieve the domain set using @capacitor/preferences while the app was open.

Solution

Added a setDomain event that passes the domain to the background worker add stores it using CapacitorKV for later
Added a dispatchEvent invocation in the domain state subscription, ensuring we update both CapacitorKV and @capacitor/preferences whenever the domain is changed
Started documenting capacitor oddities
Temporarily added a notification in the positive case — when the server is up — to help with testing. Will remove in a subsequent PR
