Hi there, in our project we would like to track the outcome of the sync state. We noticed, that for an unauthorized device, the Sync\_Error\_XX scripts are not called. Is this intended? The failed authorization attempt is logged as a error neverless we are unable to hook onto this event. These are the relevant entries in the logs: time=“2023-03-20T19:37:30Z” level=info msg=“State transition: authorize-wait [Idle] → authorize [Sync]” … time=“2023-03-20T19:37:30Z” level=debug msg="Making an authorization request () to server … time=“2023-03-20T19:37:31Z” level=debug msg="Got response: &{401 Unauthorized 401 … time=“2023-03-20T19:37:31Z” level=error msg=“Authorize failed: transient error: authorization request failed: transient error: authorization request failed: (request\_id: ): authentication request rejected server error message: dev auth: unauthorized” time=“2023-03-20T19:37:31Z” level=info msg=“State transition: authorize [Sync] → authorize-wait [Idle]” ---
