[subconscious] setMode failed:

Error message

[subconscious] setMode failed:

What it means

Failure of setMode in useSubconscious: the hook optimistically sets the local mode state, then persists via openhumanHeartbeatSettingsSet({subconscious_mode}) and refreshes; the RPC rejected. The catch warns and sets a user-readable error, but note the optimistic local state is NOT rolled back — UI and persisted config can diverge until the next refresh().

Solutions

1. Call refresh() after failure to re-sync local state from persisted config
2. Check core config-write permissions if the failure is persistent
3. Roll back the optimistic mode in the catch to avoid divergence
