What app showed vs what console log showed

Today I ran into an issue where there's (apparently) some kind of auth token issue. This manifests as NeoChat logging me in without issue, but displaying a loading progress bar forever when trying to display the contents of every room.

Looking in the console log, I found evidence of auth issues. But the UI never reported any of this. If I didn't know how to look at the log, I'd be pretty stuck, and have no idea how to proceed.

See attached screenshot.
