Research direction

Start with the linked API Platform issue comment, then trace the TypeScript/React admin client path used when the server is unavailable. The issue names no file or test; the work is done when that condition no longer crashes the JavaScript and instead shows an appropriate user-facing error message.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform/issues/2351#issuecomment-1367955502

If the server is not (yet) available, the JS script crashes. It should handle errors properly and display a nice error message to the user if appropriate instead of crashing.
