Description

When the payment dialog opens, the app requests a Lightning invoice (bolt11).
If that request fails, the error is silently ignored.

Because of that, the dialog keeps showing Generating invoice and never gives the user a clear error or retry path.

This creates a stuck-feeling payment experience for invoice failures such as:

invoice is not open
backend internal error
missing or invalid billing wallet configuration

Expected Result

If bolt11 request fails, show a visible error message with cause.
Stop loading state.
Provide a Retry action.
Keep a clear escape action (close/pay later) while showing error context.
