Error message

${error.message}

What it means

Pass-through of error.message from GET /community-hub/settings (admin only). The try block only awaits SystemSettings.hubSettings(), which reads hub config from the system_settings table - no network call happens on this route. A 500 here therefore means the settings read threw: DB locked/missing table, or a malformed settings row that breaks parsing.

Solutions

1. Read the returned error.message and server logs - it names the settings-layer failure.
2. Restart the server so boot migrations/validation re-run.
3. If a bad settings row is implicated, clear the community hub keys in system_settings and re-save them from the UI.

try { const { connectionKey } = await getHubSettings(); }
catch (e) {
  if (e.status === 500) throw new Error('Hub settings unreadable - DB layer failure, check server logs');
  if (e.status === 401 || e.status === 403) throw new Error('Admin session required');
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: system_settings table missing after a broken migration; SQLITE_BUSY from a concurrent write; corrupted/malformed hub settings row (e.g. hand-edited JSON) that throws during parse.

Common situations: Instances upgraded with interrupted migrations; direct DB edits; volume permission changes.
