Human comments
What was wrong
Desktop startup error screens left users without direct ways to retry a failed connection or select another server. Connect authentication failures also lacked an account sign-in recovery action, and choosing the built-in server after a move did not explain the retained or deleted local copy.
What changed
Existing CLI unlock behavior is preserved. No server/daemon wire fields or CI configuration changed.
