The SPA state poller catches all errors silently. If the pedal API goes down, the UI freezes showing the last known state with no visual indicator.

Fix:

  • Track consecutive failed polls
  • After 3+ failures, show a 'Reconnecting...' overlay
  • Grey out interactive controls
  • Surface backend 'connected: false' in the UI
