Description

Several iframe-based islands in the Admin and Development archipelagos open a window with a title bar but the content area is completely blank — no loading spinner, no error, no "Waiting for..." message. This differs from other unavailable services (Voice, Books, Collab, etc.) which correctly show the dark-themed "Waiting for hero_X..." spinner.

Affected islands:

Admin > Indexer — blank
Admin > AI Broker — blank
Admin > Router — blank
Admin > Proc — blank
Development > HeroDB — blank
Development > Embedder — blank

Expected

Should show the "Waiting for hero_X..." spinner (like Voice, Collab, Whiteboard do) when the backend service returns 503, or load the iframe content when available.

Root Cause Hypothesis

The iframe URL or proxy route for these services may be misconfigured. Services that show the spinner correctly have their proxy returning a proper "waiting" page, while these appear to get a 503 with no body.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Hero OS UI
Click Admin or Development in dock
Click any of the affected islands
Observe blank content area (compare with Tools > Collab which shows the spinner)

Severity

Medium
