Say out loud that the portal backend is crash-looping

Browse Source 
xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland 1.4.1 segfaults in its own shutdown path:
exit() runs the CPortalManager destructor, which tears down
wlr-foreign-toplevel handles and xdg-output proxies after the display
has gone, and dies in wl_map_insert_at. systemd restarts it, so the
desktop keeps working and the only symptom is screen sharing dropping
mid-session and the occasional document-portal casualty.

Sixty crashes in one day left no trace anywhere a person would look. It
took reading coredumpctl to find, and nobody reads coredumpctl on a
desktop that appears to be working -- which is exactly the shape of
problem the health page exists for. On this machine the new check
reported twenty-eight in the last day the moment it was wired up.

Reported rather than repaired, and it says so. There is nothing to
restart that systemd has not already restarted, and no newer build in
the Hyprland COPR to install: the fix is upstream. A button that did
nothing would be worse than a sentence that explains.

Below five in a day stays green, because an upstream bug that only
bites on shutdown will occasionally bite and a health page that is
never green teaches people to ignore it.
