Description

In case we have sync failure there is quite generic (and misleading) error message.

Image

In this particular use case we get 504 from backend (on push finish) which is rare but valid situation when request takes too long to finish and it will never succeed. It can be even some link to docs for troubleshooting cases like this one.

Research direction

Review the sync-failure path for the push-finish request and the generic error shown in the attached example. Reproduce the reported backend 504 if possible, then define an actionable message for that timeout case, including a troubleshooting documentation link if appropriate; confirm other sync failures still receive suitable handling.
