## Summary When using kibana without an network connection, as is potentially the case in airgapped environments, most requests in observability ai assistant management UI will not fire. This results in the inability to use the knowledge base UI, though the api endpoints still work. By default, [TanStack Query (used by useQuery) disables all network requests when the browser reports offline status](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/network-mode). This isn't necessary for kb endpoints that operate entirely against the local Elasticsearch cluster and do not require internet access. This change updates all useQuery calls in the Observability AI Assistant Management to use `networkMode: 'always'`. This ensures that queries are executed even when the browser is offline (`navigator.onLine === false`). Not all air-gapped environments would be affected. In many real-world deployments machines still have network interfaces configured, and `navigator.onLine` remains true. In those cases, the UI works as expected. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/onLine This brings management in line with other kibana endpoints which do not use `react-query` and do not have the issue, including `observability_ai_assistant/kb/status` ### Test - Run es and kibana offline - Visit knowledge tab in settings and interact with the app - the network tab should have requests (they will fail unless you have elser running locally, but that is ok), eg New Entry should make the request to save when trying to save.
