What
The retry loop that re-mints remote-control worker credentials now says "Remote Control credentials unavailable" on some failures instead of always reporting the server as unreachable, so a credential problem no longer looks like a network problem.
Details
Both messages still come from the same exponential-backoff retry loop; which one appears is chosen by an internal flag, and what sets that flag is not visible from the message site.
Evidence
Remote Control credentials unavailable
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
