Notify user of backend failure using system tray notification #8108

Closed data-sync-user closed 1 month ago

data-sync-user commented 11 months ago

If the daemon fails without turning on Kill Switch, consider if the client app should display a system tray notification to notify the user of this state. Currently the client displays the qrc:/ui/screens/ScreenBackendFailure.qml screen, "Something went wrong...", when such a StateBackendFailure failure occurs. However, the user will not see this screen unless they open the app.

Ideally the daemon should turn on Kill Switch, so this is a fallback solution in case the daemon crashes and does not re-start and does not recover.

This scenario was reported on the support channel.
