 - Added paged local history reading path by introducing configurable message observe limit (`observeMessages(chatId, limit)`).
 - Updated chat screen loading strategy to expand local Room-backed history first when loading older messages.
 - Added network-failure fallback in message sync/load-more: if network is unavailable but local cache exists, chat remains readable without blocking error.
+
+### Step 58 - Keep authenticated session when offline at app start
+- Updated auth restore flow in `AuthViewModel`: network errors during session restore no longer force logout when local tokens exist.
+- App now opens authenticated flow in offline mode instead of redirecting to login.
