Shared design

• Discover adapters/services at runtime — no hard-coded NIC names
• Prefer Ethernet over Wi-Fi when both are up
• DNS toward resilient public resolvers (DoH on Windows; DoT/resolved on Linux; networksetup on macOS)
• Optional hardening behind config flags
• Triggers on boot/logon and network connect
• Lock + log so concurrent runs do not clobber each other
