Research direction

Start by locating BuildPage and tracing how imageURI is loaded into the Canvas. Reproduce the empty-Canvas case with an image request that returns 403, then inspect the existing error handling. Done means the failure produces a useful error instead of silently showing an empty Canvas.

Final verdict: This needs a better error and almost definitely is a 403 from the imageURI
