Research direction

Start by reproducing the intermittent failure in the Chrome extension on macOS with Sei configured through sei-mainnet.infura.io, then inspect the home-page and network-switching flows. Capture the relevant error or network logs and determine whether the issue is in RPC connectivity or retry handling; done means switching to Sei and using the home page no longer produces the connection error.
