Fix WebSocket synchronization and reliability - #2
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change introduces lifecycle-aware WebSocket connection management, structured synchronization results, server rejection handling, bounded cleanup, and expanded shutdown and message-processing tests. ChangesWebSocket lifecycle and shutdown
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to WebSocket shutdown now reports incomplete cleanup, but a failed client shutdown cannot be retried because later close calls return the cached failure. This can leave connection or event cleanup unfinished; the new shutdown contract also needs documentation before release. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

raised while writing the close frame are rescued and handled as close failures
rather than escaping close(drain: true). Preserve the existing ensure cleanup
that closes the socket and stops the reader, and ensure safe_close_socket can

🔵 Needs a closer look
A status update in the new WebSocket attempt loop can overwrite more informative error status messages with a generic “WebSocket closed” message, which can mislead diagnostics.
Pull request overview
This PR refactors the WebSocket data synchronization runtime into a more explicit lifecycle/attempt model to improve reconnect behavior, message handling resilience, and shutdown reliability, while adding regression specs around these scenarios.
Changes:
- Introduces
WebSocketLifecycle,WebSocketConnectionAttempt, andWebSocketClosePolicyto coordinate handshake timeouts, reconnect backoff, rejection handling (4003), and bounded shutdown. - Makes message processing more tolerant (ignore unknown types / invalid envelopes without disconnecting) and reports “changed vs unchanged” via
SynchronizationResult. - Adds extensive RSpec coverage for shutdown/reentrancy and WebSocket sync/reconnect edge cases; trims README shutdown guarantees accordingly.

- In
run_attempt, the unconditionalhandle_socket_close(nil)afterattempt.monitorcan overwrite a more informative status message that was just set byhandle_socket_error/fail_status(e.g., an I/O error message gets replaced with "WebSocket closed"). This makes the final status message misleading and harder to diagnose.
Consider only applying the generic "WebSocket closed" status when no message has already been set (and still not stopped/rejected).

Fix WebSocket recovery, message handling, and shutdown behavior that could cause unnecessary reconnects or misleading cleanup results.
pongand other unknown message types without disconnecting. Log malformed JSON, missing/invalid message types, and rejected synchronization envelopes while preserving existing data and status.closereturns whether cleanup completed; repeated calls return the recorded result and do not retry failed cleanup. Concurrent or reentrant calls can returnfalsewhile the first call is still running.Organize WebSocket synchronization code under
data_sync, add regression coverage, and remove detailed shutdown guidance from the README.The PR appears safe to merge, with no outstanding correctness or repository-rule violations.
