Once it's that state it's very annoying because it's impossible to access any page (reload button doesn't solve anything).
We should either trigger a full reload or find a way to let the user go back to the previous page / click on menu, etc.

Hi, can you assign to me please ?

@yurimutti sure thanks! To get into that state you'll need to create a fake frontend error

@FelixMalfait I unassigned myself to an experienced contributor can work more fast to solve this.

Let's change this button behavior to entirely reload the page (browser level), this will be more efficient. Right now I think we're attempting something else which is more local but then in many case it doesn't work.

Also the title "Server's on a coffee break is misleading" since this is actually for frontend error. Let's change it to "Sorry, something went wrong."

@FelixMalfait I am just curious, but if we want to hard refresh the current page at the browser level, does it even need to be a prop?

I think If we just execute window.location.reload(); for any errors, it doesn't need to be a prop

Oh ignore my comment, it seems I didn't fully understand how ErrorBoundary component works.

Actually, it will make more sense to address this issue as part of my PR #8588

@ehconitin Don't worry about this, I am addressing this in #8588

Fixes: #8487 #5027 

1. Summary
The purpose of these changes is to elevate the dev/user experience when
the initial config load call fails for whatever reason by displaying a
fallback component.

2. Solution
I ended up making more changes than I initially planned. I had to update
the order of the contexts a bit because `GenericErrorFallback` is
dependent on `AppThemeProvider` for styling and `AppThemeProvider` is
dependent on `ObjectMetadataItemsProvider` for
[`useObjectMetadataItem`](https://github.com/khuddite/twenty/blob/ae2f193d68c6168e4c8323297d58f6dbc1de9fdf/packages/twenty-front/src/modules/object-metadata/hooks/useObjectMetadataItem.ts#L22)
hook (`AppThemeProvider` -> `useColorScheme` -> `useUpdateOneRecord` ->
`useObjectMetadataItem`). I had to create a wrapper component for
`AppThemeProvider` and stylize it in a way that it looks responsive on
both mobile and desktop devices. Finally, I had to introduce the
`isErrored` flag to differentiate the loading and error states.

    There are some improvements we can make later - 
    - Display a loading state for the initial config load
    - Implement a refetch logic for the initial config loading failure
