These issues and PRs address a race condition on Windows where the desktop boot WebSocket probe times out before the backend finishes its cold-start imports and i18n locale fetch. Changes extend or redesign the probe to wait on backend progress rather than a fixed timeout, and add retry logic for i18n.
