rta: keep reconnecting until the Conn is closed - #28
Conversation
A dropped RTA WebSocket got four redials about twenty seconds apart and then the Conn closed itself with "max reconnect attempt reached" as the cause. A service outage lasts longer than that, so every long-lived Conn ended the outage dead: each later Subscribe returned the cached cause and nothing short of building a new Conn recovered. The same budget applied to a socket that kept dropping mid-handshake. Reconnect now retries with capped exponential backoff (1s doubling to 60s, 50% jitter) until the dial lands or the Conn is closed, and an interrupted resubscribe round backs off and goes again instead of counting toward a limit. Subscriptions stay owned by the reconnect the whole time; if the Conn closes underneath it they get the close cause. Tests drive an outage through a server that refuses upgrades and a handshake the server keeps cutting, and cover Close during an outage.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe reconnect flow now retries indefinitely until the connection succeeds or closes. Backoff is capped and injectable. Resubscribe failures and in-flight handshakes now deactivate held subscriptions after closure. Tests cover outages, retries, and closure races. ChangesReconnect retry lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Connections now retry indefinitely with capped backoff, which can retain connection state and produce periodic traffic during prolonged failures. A shutdown race may also leave a newly established socket open after Close returns, creating a localized resource-leak risk; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

…d Close If Close ran while a resubscribe handshake was in flight, its deactivation loop saw an empty map: the reconnect had taken the subscriptions, and the successful handshake then tracked an active subscription back onto the closed Conn with no HandleError. The reconnect now finishes that deactivation when it sees the Conn closed. Also: only the first failed redial logs at Error, later ones at Warn, so a long outage is not an Error stream; and tests shorten the backoff through a package variable set before Dial instead of writing to a live dialer.

A dial that completed just as Close swept c.conn could be stored after the sweep, leaving an open socket behind a closed Conn. The reconnect now publishes under connMu with a ctx check, so either Close sees the socket or the reconnect sees the cancelled ctx and closes it itself. (cherry picked from commit 0b09404)

Why
When the RTA WebSocket drops,
rta.Connredials four times with 1/2/4/8-second backoff and then closes itself for good withmax reconnect attempt (4) reachedas the cause. That is roughly twenty seconds of patience. An Xbox Live outage lasts far longer, so every long-lived connection came out of the 2026-09-02 outage dead: each laterSubscribereturned the cached cause, and only building a newConnrecovered. A socket that kept dropping mid-handshake hit the same wall after four resubscribe rounds.What changed
dialer.reconnectretries until the dial lands or the context is done, with capped exponential backoff: 1s doubling to a 60s cap, plus up to 50% jitter. It logs the dial error on each attempt.runReconnectno longer closes theConnon dial failure or after repeated interrupted resubscribes. An interrupted round backs off on the same schedule and tries again. The subscriptions stay owned by the reconnect throughout; if theConnis closed underneath it, they are deactivated with the close cause so nothing is left looking active on a dead connection.dialerfield so tests can shorten it.Behaviour that is unchanged: a reconnect with no live subscriptions still closes the socket normally,
Closestill ends everything, andSubscribecallers still bound their own wait with their context.Tests
go test -race ./rta/andgo test ./...pass. New tests drive a server that refuses upgrades for ten attempts before accepting, a server that cuts the handshake eight times before letting it through, andCloseduring an outage.
