Connection instability when receiving and sending data messages immediately after joining a room

[Christophe-DC]

Describe the bug
Just after connecting to a room with LiveKit.connect(...), I immediately receive a data message via onDataReceived.
In response to this message, I send a reply using room.localParticipant.publishData(...).
Sometimes, the message is never sent, and I get the following exception:
RoomException$ConnectException: could not establish publisher connection
This seems to be a race condition: although the room is connected and I receive data, the publisher's PeerConnection is not yet fully established.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Call LiveKit.connect(...).
2. Receive a data message immediately after joining (via onDataReceived).
3. In the same flow, send a reply with publishData(...).
4. Observe that the message is sometimes: never received by remote participants

Expected behavior
Messages sent with publishData(...) should be reliably sent once the room is connected.
Receiving a message should indicate that connections are ready, or at least not give a false sense of readiness.
Ideally, the SDK should:
buffer the message until the publisher is connected, or expose a clear lifecycle signal that the publisher is ready to send.
