📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds AsyncStorage-backed JSON caching and offline-error detection. UserFeed caches institution and event data, restores cached data when Firestore is unavailable, reloads after reconnection, and displays an offline banner with cache age. ChangesOffline feed support

Official Firebase Firestore documentation: What does the JavaScript Firestore error code failed-precondition mean, including missing-index failures, and which error code represents a temporarily unavailable network service?
💡 Result:
In the JavaScript Firebase Firestore SDK, the error code failed-precondition indicates that the requested operation was rejected because the system is not in the state required for the operation's execution [1][2]. A common instance of this error is a "missing-index" failure [3][4][5]. Cloud Firestore requires an index for every query to ensure performance [3]. When you perform a complex query (such as a compound query with range filters) that does not map to an existing index, the operation will fail with a failed-precondition status [3][4][5]. The error message returned by Firestore will typically include a direct URL to the Firebase console, which provides the necessary details to generate and deploy the required composite index [3][5][6]. The error code that represents a temporarily unavailable network service or transient connection issue is unavailable [2][7][8]. This error often indicates that the service is temporarily down, the device lacks a stable internet connection, or there is a local network issue (such as connection refused) [9][8]. It is generally recommended to handle unavailable errors by retrying the operation with exponential backoff [2][7].

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Keep offline banner state specific to cached events.
Lines 217-218 set offline and cachedAt when only institutions come from cache. The banner at lines 821-823 then says cached events are displayed, even if fetchEventsPage returned fresh data. A successful pull-to-refresh also does not clear these fields. Use separate institution status, or set these banner fields only when feed_events is restored. Clear them whenever fresh events replace events.

Official @react-native-community/netinfodocumentation: What is the difference between NetInfoStateisConnectedandisInternetReachable, and when is an addEventListener callback first invoked?
💡 Result:
In the @react-native-community/netinfo library, the NetInfoState object provides two distinct boolean properties to describe network status [1][2]: isConnected: This indicates whether there is an active network connection (e.g., the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network or cellular data) [1][2]. It confirms that the device has an interface currently associated with a network [2]. isInternetReachable: This indicates whether the internet is actually accessible via the currently active network connection [1][2]. A device can be connected to a network (isConnected is true) but still not have internet access—for example, if connected to a captive portal Wi-Fi or a router that has lost its ISP connection (isInternetReachable is false) [3][4]. Regarding the addEventListener method, the provided callback is invoked with the latest available network information soon after you subscribe [5]. Subsequently, the callback is invoked again whenever the connection state changes [5]. You should not assume that the behavior or timing of these initial callbacks will be identical across all devices or platforms [5].

Retry only after confirmed Internet reconnection.
state.isConnected confirms only an active network interface. If Firestore returns unavailable, the listener clears offline, starts loadInitialEvents(), and then re-subscribes after the cache fallback sets offline again. Since addEventListener reports the current state when subscribed, this can repeat while Internet access is unavailable. Require state.isInternetReachable === true and an unreachable-to-reachable transition before one recovery fetch.

This adds the Layer-1 slice of the offline strategy: - lib/offlineCache.js: AsyncStorage-backed TTL cache (cacheJson / readCachedJson / clearCachedJson, 24h default), pure formatCacheAge helper for the banner label, and isOfflineError detection for Firestore unavailability / network errors - UserFeed.js: successful institution + first-page event fetches are cached; on offline failures the cached snapshot is rendered with an amber 'You're offline — showing cached events (updated 5m ago)' banner; NetInfo listener auto-clears the banner and re-fetches as soon as connectivity returns - offlineCache.test.js: 16 tests (round-trip, expiry, custom TTL, corrupt payloads, clear, age formatting, error classification) No new dependencies (AsyncStorage + NetInfo already in package.json).

Closes #734 (Layer 1 — offline event discovery)
Problem
On flaky campus Wi-Fi, event discovery (feed) and the campus filter list render completely blank when Firebase is unreachable — silent failure with no feedback, no cached state, no recovery signal.
Changes
app/src/lib/offlineCache.js(new, zero new deps — AsyncStorage is already a dependency):cacheJson(key, value)/readCachedJson(key, {maxAgeMs})/clearCachedJson(key)— timestamped AsyncStorage JSON cache with a 24h default TTL; corrupt/expired entries degrade tonullinstead of throwingformatCacheAge(savedAt, now)— pure helper rendering "5m ago" / "3h ago" style labelsisOfflineError(error)— classifies Firestoreunavailable/failed-preconditioncodes and network-y messages so the fallback only triggers for connectivity problems, never permission/not-found errorsapp/src/screens/UserFeed.js:NetInfolistener: the moment connectivity returns, the banner clears and fresh data is fetched automatically (no manual refresh needed)Tests
app/src/lib/__tests__/offlineCache.test.js— 16 tests covering round-trip caching, TTL expiry, custom maxAge, corrupt payloads, clearing, age label formatting (incl. future-timestamp clamp), and error classification (incl. null/undefined safety).Notes
