Subject: [PATCH] Fix network initialization during system boot

During Linux system boot, the network stack may not be fully initialized
when sing-box starts. The original code would trigger NetworkPause() for
missing default interface, preventing automatic recovery after network
initialization completes.

Skip pause handling when not started to allow proper initialization.
