[ai-panel] backfill poll failed

Error message

[ai-panel] backfill poll failed

What it means

A periodic memory-tree backfill status poll failed while the backfill modal was open: the memoryTreeBackfillStatus call inside the 2s interval rejected. A single failed poll is tolerated (the modal stays open with the last known pending count); the serialized inFlight guard prevents overlapping requests, and the next tick retries. Only sustained failures leave the modal showing a stale pending count.

Solutions

1. No action for isolated failures — the next 2s poll retries automatically
2. If the modal's pending count freezes, check core health; closing and re-triggering the modal restarts polling
3. Sustained failures indicate an unhealthy core/memory service — inspect core logs
4. The backfill continues core-side even while status polling fails
