What happens when your connection drops
netplex. is built to fail loudly, not silently - if your browser genuinely loses its network connection, a banner says so immediately rather than letting actions quietly fail with no explanation.
Losing connectivity mid-session - wifi drop, VPN hiccup, laptop lid closed - shows this banner instantly across the whole app. Any in-flight optimistic action (a lab edit, a start command) retries automatically once the connection returns; nothing is lost.
The banner clears itself the moment the browser reports the connection back - no manual dismiss, no reload needed.
This is a browser-level signal (the same one any site gets), so it catches full connectivity loss - it will not catch a backend outage that leaves your network interface up. For that, API calls carry their own retry-on-transient-5xx behaviour, and the WebSocket connections behind consoles and live status reconnect with backoff independently. See "Web console breaks during a rebuild" for the console-specific reconnect path.
