x11vnc mirrors :0 with `-forever`, so the desktop survives officer going away — only the bridge socket dies. The panel treated that as the end of the session: "Disconnected from desktop" until someone closed and reopened it. Retry with backoff instead, and cover the password fetch too, since that is what fails first while officer is still coming up. Retries are generation-guarded so tearing an instance down cannot be mistaken for a lost connection, and a security failure or a missing noVNC is terminal — those do not come back on their own.
