The Selection View shows Live: Reconnecting... indefinitely in orange. The REST API works fine (Database Activity populates), so this is isolated to whatever live/push mechanism the client is attempting.

Problem

  • No error detail surfaced — user cannot tell if it is DNS, SSL, 502, auth, or a missing server endpoint
  • No backoff visible — unclear if it is retrying or stuck
  • No timeout — never transitions to a "Disconnected" terminal state
  • Nothing logged to FreeCAD console

Root cause investigation needed

The spec's 75 endpoints do not include a websocket or SSE endpoint. Either:

  • silod has an undocumented /api/ws or /api/events endpoint, or
  • The client is attempting to connect to something that does not exist yet

Clarify which, then fix accordingly (see Issue 3 if server-side work is needed).

Proposed client-side fixes (regardless of server state)

  • Reconnect with exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s, ..., capped at 60s
  • Show attempt count: Reconnecting (3/10)...
  • After max retries, show Disconnected with a manual Retry button
  • Log each attempt to FreeCAD console with timestamp and error
  • Tooltip on the status line showing last error message

Acceptance criteria

  • Backoff implemented with configurable max retries
  • Terminal "Disconnected" state reachable
  • FreeCAD console receives structured log per reconnect attempt
  • Graceful behavior when the server has no live endpoint at all (do not retry forever against a 404)
