Failed to get workspace settings: ${err}

Error message

Failed to get workspace settings: ${err}

What it means

pushWorkspaceSettings wraps the remote GET of the workspace's current settings; when the API call rejects (network error, missing permission, or server error) the failure is re-raised with the underlying error message since the diff-based update cannot proceed without the current values.
