Problem Description

Hi,

when the backend dies, currently this is not obvious to the user

Image

Instead, when he asks a question, it seems like that answer is processed forever...

Desired Solution you'd like

Maybe the UI is redirected to this screen

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional Context

Can be reproduced easy:

  1. Startup container
  2. Start a chat
  3. Shutdown the container
  4. Continue chatting
