Research direction
Start in the tray app's handling of the “Waiting for system service” state and trace requests to the service backend. Reproduce an invalid home-directory service authtoken and identify where 403 responses are handled. Done means the UI detects the invalid token and offers a way to recopy it.

Description
Adding here to make sure we don't forget to fix. "Waiting for system service" issue is caused by an invalid copy of the service authtoken in the user's home directory.
We need to detect this by catching 403 responses from the service backend & giving the user the ability to recopy the token in the tray app.
