link-dotfiles: wait 3 min before no-peer prompt - #304

The "Bitcoin Core has no peers" prompt fired after a single check 30 seconds after Core finished starting. Over Tor the first peer often takes longer than that, so users were told to open Tor Connection while everything was working normally. Poll getnetworkinfo every 15 seconds instead and only show the prompt if Core has had no peers for the full 3 minutes. Stop watching as soon as a peer connects or Core stops answering RPC.

Before: "Bitcoin Core has no peers" popped up after one check 30 seconds after Core finished starting. Over Tor the first peer often takes longer, so users were told to open Tor Connection while everything was fine.
After: the prompt only appears if Core has had zero peers for 3 full minutes after startup. If any peer connects (or Core stops answering RPC) during that time, nothing is shown.
How: the
--core-startupbackground check inbails/.local/bin/link-dotfilesnow pollsbitcoin-cli getnetworkinfoevery 15 seconds for up to 180 seconds and exits early on the first nonzero connection count. Dialog text and the Open Tor Connection action are unchanged.Tested with
bash -n, shellcheck, and a stubbedbitcoin-cli/zenityrun: with no peers the dialog appears after the full window (6 polls); with a peer on the 3rd poll it exits without a dialog. Not tested on real Tails.No overlap with #293 or #301 (neither touches
link-dotfiles).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
