Proposal: expose connection state to client extensions

by u/tolwiz[MOD][ADMIN]1 mo ago2 comments
Extensions currently have no reliable way to distinguish an active connection from reconnecting or offline state. Exposing a small connection-state API would let integrations defer network-dependent actions instead of guessing from failed requests.

I can reproduce this when switching from Wi-Fi to Ethernet with the tab in the background. The new socket joins immediately, but the old presence entry survives until its timeout expires.

That sounds like the client reconnect path is faster than the server-side leave cleanup. We probably need presence replacement keyed by user/session rather than waiting for the previous transport to disappear naturally.
