The deferred recordTaskResult call was passing pollErr as a function
argument, so it captured the value at defer-time (always nil) instead
of the value at execution time. Result: the per-instance pollStatusMap
treated every poll as a success — LastSuccess was set to "now" on
every cycle, ConsecutiveFailures stayed at zero, and the circuit
breaker never opened, even when the staleness tracker (which used a
proper closure) recorded the same poll as a failure.
The connections aggregator derives state from PollStatus.LastSuccess,
so the Connections UI reported broken PVE/PBS/PMG instances as
"active / verified / healthy" while no data was ingested. Wrap the
recordTaskResult call in a defer closure so it reads the live pollErr
at execution time, matching the pollMetrics and stalenessTracker
defers immediately above.
