scan task failed: {e}

Error message

scan task failed: {e}

What it means

The spawned blocking scan task that walks directories matching the glob panicked or was cancelled, and its JoinError is surfaced here. The filesystem walk itself failed mid-scan — not a pattern or argument problem.

        // `base` is already canonical (validate_path canonicalizes), so if this
        // fallback fires the two roots become asymmetric and strip_prefix below
        // may miss for an in-sandbox hit, rendering it absolute. Harmless: the
        // absolute path is still readable and the per-hit filter still applies.

Solutions

1. Retry — join failures are often transient (task cancellation or runtime shutdown)
2. Narrow the pattern/path to reduce scan depth and I/O pressure
3. Check core logs for a panic backtrace from the scan task
