Summary
LocationSensorManageris aBroadcastReceiver— Android can kill and restart the process at any time, resetting all companion objectvars to their initial values. This caused real bugs: force-on/off high accuracy commands were silently lost after restart, zone entry state was cleared causing incorrect high accuracy mode decisions, and debounce timestamps were wiped causing duplicate location sends.Changes

vars (isBackgroundLocationSetup,zones,geofenceRegistered,lastHighAccuracy*) reset harmlessly — they cause a one-time re-setup or re-fetch on restart with no correctness impact.Behavioral improvements

Any other notes
No user-visible behavior change — this is a correctness fix for edge cases that only manifested after a process death/restart.
