Symptoms:  
Smart Select can successfully highlight/segment an animal.  
After the segmentation is created, the class picker never appears, so we cannot assign a class (cow, sheep, goat, etc.).  
“Find Objects with AI” consistently returns “Failed to Find Objects”.  
Browser network requests appear to return only 200/204 responses (no obvious errors).  
The project classes are still present.  
This project previously supported pixel annotation and has hundreds of successfully annotated images.  
Troubleshooting attempted:  
Hard refresh  
Log out/log back in  
Incognito/private browsing  
Different browsers  
Testing multiple images  
Testing multiple users on the project  
Has anyone seen this behavior before, or is there a known issue that could cause Smart Select to segment objects but never allow class assignment?  
Thanks!
