Summary

• Rate-limit core-state poll warnings so repeated bootstrap failures log at useful checkpoints instead of every poll.
• Keep detailed debug('core-state') failure diagnostics for development without console warning spam.
• Add a shorter /rewards/me request timeout and normalize timeout-style failures into an actionable retry message.
• Preserve rewards success normalization and backend failure behavior with focused tests.

Problem

• Startup can emit repeated [core-state] poll failed warnings while the core state endpoint is unavailable.
• /rewards/me timeout-style failures can surface as low-level network/client errors instead of a quiet, recoverable Rewards state.

Solution

• Added shouldWarnForBootstrapFailure() and use it to warn on attempts 1, 5, then every 5 failures thereafter while debug logs still include every failed attempt.
• Wrapped rewardsApi.getMyRewards() request/failure handling to apply a 15s timeout and map timeout/abort/ERR_TIMED_OUT messages to: “Rewards request timed out. Please check your connection and try again.”
• Updated provider and rewards API tests for warning checkpoint behavior, existing success behavior, backend failures, and timeout mapping.

Submission Checklist

• Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per docs/TESTING-STRATEGY.md
• Diff coverage ≥ 80% — CI diff-cover is authoritative and is running on this PR; focused changed-line tests passed locally.
• Coverage matrix updated — N/A: behavior-only change to existing core-state/rewards flows.
• All affected feature IDs from the matrix are listed in the PR description under ## Related — N/A: no feature ID row changed.
• No new external network dependencies introduced (mock backend used per docs/TESTING-STRATEGY.md)
• Manual smoke checklist updated if this touches release-cut surfaces — N/A: no release smoke checklist behavior changed.
• Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN in the ## Related section

Impact

• Runtime impact is limited to the React app provider and rewards API client.
• No Rust/core behavior changes.
• Rewards timeout failures remain recoverable through the existing Rewards retry UI.

Behavior Changes

• Intended behavior change: core-state polling warnings are deduped/rate-limited; rewards timeout errors become actionable retry guidance.
• User-visible effect: Rewards remains in a quiet fallback state with existing Try again recovery when /rewards/me times out.

Parity Contract

• Legacy behavior preserved: rewards success payload normalization and backend failure propagation remain covered.
• Guard/fallback/dispatch parity checks: timeout/abort/network timeout mapping added without changing core RPC or onboarding/OAuth flows.
