What changed in this PR
Adds primary-network detection so WPAD DHCP queries the adapter carrying the preferred IPv4 route first.
Changes:
- Adds
is_primaryto adapter metadata. - Detects preferred routes on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Queries the primary adapter before fallback adapters.

- Around line 26-78: Bound the blocking receive in net_adapter_primary_index by
setting a finite receive timeout on the Netlink socket before sending the route
request. If configuring the timeout fails, close the socket and return the
existing zero fallback.

This direct GetBestRoute2 import breaks the README's Windows XP+ support. The API was introduced in Vista, so XP cannot load a binary containing this object. A dynamic lookup with an XP-compatible fallback would preserve support.
Callers can now prefer the adapter carrying the best IPv4 route to the internet over other connected adapters. Windows asks the stack with GetBestRoute2, which Store apps can't call, so the flag stays false there. Assisted-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The kernel is asked over a routing socket for the route to a public address, and the interface it leaves through is marked primary. Assisted-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The kernel is asked over netlink for the route to a public address, which honors route metrics and policy rules, and the outgoing interface is marked primary. Assisted-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adapters were queried in enumeration order, so a secondary network could supply its WPAD url or delay detection by a full timeout per adapter. The primary adapter is now queried first, then the rest. Assisted-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Around line 137-139: Update the routing-socket read loop in net_adapter_enum
to enforce an overall deadline while waiting for the matching reply, rather than
restarting the wait after each unrelated message. Stop waiting when the deadline
expires if no message matches pid and sequence 1.

net_adapter_sgainsis_primary, set on the adapter carrying the best IPv4 route to the internet. Each platform asks the kernel for the route to a public address, which sends no packets. Windows usesGetBestRoute2, macOS uses anRTM_GETon a routing socket, and Linux uses anRTM_GETROUTEover netlink.wpad_dhcpused to query adapters in enumeration order. Each miss costs up to the DHCP timeout, and a secondary network could supply its WPAD url first. It now queries the primary adapter first and then falls back to the remaining adapters, so a primary network without option 252 still works as before.GetBestRoute2isn't available to Windows Store apps, sois_primarystays false there and WPAD DHCP keeps the old order.Summary by CodeRabbit
