[ai-panel] backfill status check failed

Error message

[ai-panel] backfill status check failed

What it means

The initial memory-tree backfill status check failed after a successful settings save: memoryTreeBackfillStatus rejected, so the hook could not determine whether a re-embed backfill was triggered (st.in_progress). Consequently the backfill progress modal is never opened — a running backfill proceeds unmonitored rather than being surfaced to the user.

Solutions

1. Check the warned error — core RPC transport or auth expiry are the usual causes
2. Re-save the embedder setting to re-trigger the status check once healthy
3. The backfill itself runs core-side regardless; verify progress later via the AI/memory settings status
4. Persistent failures: inspect core logs for the memory tree backfill status handler
