if /versions fails after login, element keeps spinning but never syncs

eg. if the HS endpoint returned by the login endpoint is SSL with a self-signed cert that you then later accept in the browser, it conects and syncs but the UI just sits there

Start by reproducing the login flow where the /versions endpoint returns an SSL self-signed certificate, then accept the certificate in the browser and observe the sync UI. Done means the client reflects the successful connection and synchronization instead of remaining in a spinning state.
