Research direction
Review the discussion in issue #172683 to understand the concerns about the error banner. Then, evaluate the current behavior in the Kibana ILM UI code (likely in public/plugins/index lifecycle management or similar). Consider whether the banner should be removed, modified, or shown only in certain contexts. Propose a specific change with screenshots or mockups and discuss in the issue.
