Three causes behind the stuck indicator:
- OperationStatus.End did not retire the generation, so tick work posted
while the dispatcher was blocked drained afterwards and set
ShowIndicator back to true on a finished operation.
- The startup update check ran in Task.Run; OperationStatus writes its
observable properties on the calling thread, so the final
ShowIndicator=false never reached the binding.
- OperationIndicator overwrote its own DataContext from the Status
property, which re-targeted the call-site binding. It now scopes the
DataContext to an inner panel and collapses itself when Status is
null; every call site switched from DataContext= to Status=.
Also gates the footer connection pill in the command body instead of
CanExecute (a disabled command greyed out the ONLINE chip), and extends
OperationTiming: pid per line, 4 MB rollover, fast successes dropped
(failures always kept), and DetailsIsland.BindAsync now carries the
selection trigger via TasksIslandViewModel.SelectFrom.
Two chokepoints per P0-2: WorkerClient.InvokeTimedAsync(<T>) wraps all 63
_hub.InvokeAsync call sites (plus TryInvokeAsync), and Stopwatch blocks
around the Island VMs' bulk DB load/write paths (list load, task list load,
reorders, batch delete, reconcile tick, count refresh). Single-row reads
stay untouched per the plan's rule of thumb. No display, no behavior change.
