[client] Wait for signal receive watchdog to stop before reconnect

The per-stream watchReceiveStream goroutine was started fire-and-forget
and never joined. On reconnect a lingering watchdog could still flip
shared client state (receiveStalled, the disconnect notifier) on the
freshly established stream, since cancelStream only cancels its own
stream context.

Track the watchdog with a WaitGroup and wait for it to exit (after
cancelling its stream) before the operation returns, so each reconnect
starts with no stale watchdog.

-> resources over the encrypted NetBird tunnel. See [`agent-network/`](agent-network/) or
-> read the docs at **[netbird.ai](https://netbird.ai)**.
-
 **NetBird combines a configuration-free peer-to-peer private network and a centralized access control system in a single platform, making it easy to create secure private networks for your organization or home.**
 
 **Connect.** NetBird creates a WireGuard-based overlay network that automatically connects your machines over an encrypted tunnel, leaving behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, and so forth.

-# NetBird Agent Network
-
-Agent Network is NetBird's access control layer for AI agents and the people who run
-them. It gives every agent a real identity, tied to your identity provider (IdP), and
-governs what it can reach — the LLM APIs and AI gateways it can call, and the internal
-resources it can access. Traffic flows only over the encrypted NetBird tunnel, scoped by
-policy, with no API keys to leak.
-
-> **Beta.** Agent Network is open source and can be self-hosted on your own
-> infrastructure.
-
-## How it works
-
-Agent Network is built on two existing NetBird capabilities:
-
-- **Overlay network** — the encrypted WireGuard mesh between peers.
-- **Reverse proxy** — a NetBird peer that terminates LLM requests, establishes the
-  caller's identity, evaluates policies/limits/guardrails, injects the upstream provider
-  key server-side, forwards to the API or gateway, and records usage.
-
-LLM traffic is routed through the proxy's identity-aware pipeline, while internal
-resources (databases, internal APIs, self-hosted models) are reached directly over
-peer-to-peer WireGuard tunnels, governed by the same identities and access policies.
-
-## Where the code lives
-
-There is no separate "agent-network" service — it reuses the reverse-proxy and management
-components:
-
-- [`proxy/`](../proxy) — the NetBird reverse proxy that serves the agent network endpoint
-  and runs the per-request middleware pipeline.
-- [`management/internals/modules/reverseproxy/`](../management/internals/modules/reverseproxy)
-  — the management-side control plane: providers, policies, guardrails, limits, routing,
-  and usage/access logs.
-

-Breaks down where time goes inside a single sync, so the total `netbird_sync` duration can be attributed to the sub-step that dominates.

-| Field | Description |
-|-------|-------------|
-| `duration_seconds` | Time spent in one sub-phase of sync processing |
-
-Tags:
-- `phase`: the sub-phase — `netbird_config`, `checks`, `persist`, `dns_server`, `routes_classify`, `routes_apply`, `filtering`, `dns_forwarder`, `forward_rules`, `offline_peers`, `removed_peers`, `modified_peers`, `added_peers`, `lazy_exclude`
-- `deployment_type`: "cloud" | "selfhosted" | "unknown"
-- `version`: NetBird version string
-- `os`: Operating system (linux, darwin, windows, android, ios, etc.)
-- `arch`: CPU architecture (amd64, arm64, etc.)

-## Analyzing a Debug Bundle
-
-Metrics collection is always on, so every debug bundle ships a `metrics.txt` in InfluxDB line protocol — a timestamped time series of all recorded events (sync durations, sync phases, connection stages, login). You can replay it into the local stack and graph it, without a running client.
-
-The bundle's `metrics.txt` is a rolling window (capped at 5 days / ~20k samples, see [Buffer Limits](#buffer-limits)). For a connection incident the relevant window is short (connection setup is seconds), so a bundle captured during the issue is enough.
-
-### 1. Start the stack
-
-```bash
-# From this directory (client/internal/metrics/infra)
-INFLUXDB_ADMIN_TOKEN=admin123 INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin123 GRAFANA_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin123 \
-  docker compose up -d
-```
-
-(`admin123` are throwaway local credentials — fine for offline analysis.)
-
-### 2. Clear any previous data
-
-So you only see this bundle:
-
-```bash
-docker exec influxdb influx delete --org netbird --bucket metrics --token admin123 \
-  --start 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z --stop 2100-01-01T00:00:00Z
-```
-
-### 3. Import the bundle's metrics.txt
-
-InfluxDB is not exposed on the host, so import inside the container:
-
-```bash
-docker cp /path/to/bundle/metrics.txt influxdb:/tmp/m.txt
-docker exec influxdb influx write --org netbird --bucket metrics --precision ns \
-  --token admin123 --file /tmp/m.txt
-```
-
-Re-importing the same file is idempotent (same measurement+tags+timestamp overwrites).
-
-### 4. View the dashboards
-
-Grafana on http://localhost:3001 (login `admin` / `admin123`), datasource pre-provisioned:
-
-- **Where sync time goes:** http://localhost:3001/d/netbird-sync-phases/netbird-sync-phases-where-time-goes
-- **General client metrics:** http://localhost:3001/d/netbird-influxdb-metrics
-
-**Set the time range** to cover the bundle's timestamps (e.g. "Last 7 days" or an absolute range matching when the bundle was taken) — with the default short range the panels look empty.
-
-Bundles are distinguishable by the `version` tag; add a tag at import time (e.g. `sed 's/^netbird_\([a-z_]*\),/netbird_\1,bundle=mycase,/' metrics.txt`) if you want to compare several side by side.
