GateConnection

Remarks

⚠ This socket being down is a normal state, not an error state. Doc 27 is explicit that nothing a player is waiting on travels here, so a client that showed a modal when it dropped would be showing a modal for a lost whisper. It reconnects with backoff, forever, and says nothing about it.

⚠ Nothing is replayed across a reconnect, and nothing needs to be. A push is a hint to go and ask: catalog means fetch the catalog, draining means ask the gate where to play. A design that queued missed events would be a design where the queue's depth eventually matters.
