Description
Probably because the call and response is synchronous the icon is "clicked blue color" (in dark mode) for several seconds when rescan call is not answered. Maybe we should put the call in the background and grayout the rescan button when it is already busy.

Start by tracing the rescan button action and its call/response path in the macOS GUI. Confirm the interface remains responsive while a call is unanswered, that the button indicates a busy state, and that it becomes available again after the call completes.
