Sorry, I have one more follow-up question.

In that case I assume keepalives from the guard don't prevent Tor from
becoming dormant, or wake it from dormant mode. On Android, a keepalive
will briefly wake the CPU. When that happens, will Tor consume the
keepalive from the network buffer while remaining dormant, or does the
controller need to wake Tor from dormant mode periodically to ensure it
reads from the guard connection?

Thanks again,
Michael
