Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 10 desktop-mode sequence: run a query over a VPN, disconnect the VPN, and open a query window. Observe the spinning window, dark screen, error message, and loss of other query windows; done should mean the application remains usable or closable without losing those scripts after the disconnect.
