ORD wallet synchronization issue - "wallet failed to synchronize with ord server after 20 attempts" #4111

Description

I’ve set up Bitcoin Core and it’s running fine in the background. I’m using rpcusername and rpcpassword in bitcoin.conf (not using cookie). Bitcoin Core is working smoothly.

I followed the official GitHub documentation to set up the ORD wallet, and the server is running on port 8080 using the command:
ord server --http-port 8080

I created the wallet with:
ord wallet create

and received the mnemonic. However, when I attempt certain commands, I get the following error:

ubuntu@bitcoin-node-backend:~$ ord wallet --server-url http://0.0.0.0:8080 transactions 
error: wallet failed to synchronize with ord server after 20 attempts

Additionally, trying to dump the wallet results in:

ubuntu@bitcoin-node-backend:~$ ord wallet --server-url http://127.0.0.1:8080 dump 
error: wallet failed to synchronize with ord server after 20 attempts

Interestingly, some commands, such as checking the block count, work fine:

ubuntu@bitcoin-node-backend:~$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/blockcount 
819487

Additional Information:
I noticed that block indexing is still in progress, as indicated by the following status message:

ubuntu@bitcoin-node-backend:~$ ord server --http-port 8080
Index file `/home/ubuntu/.local/share/ord/index.redb` needs recovery. This can take a long time, especially for the --index-sats index.

Should I wait until indexing finishes, or is there something else I should check? Any guidance would be appreciated!
