Subject: [PATCH 01/13] fix(desktop): robust WebSocket reconnection in
 TranscriptionService
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes #6193 — 64K Sentry events from WebSocket transcription disconnects.

Root causes fixed:
- Race condition: replaced 0.5s hardcoded delay with URLSessionWebSocketDelegate
  handshake detection (didOpenWithProtocol) + 10s connect timeout
- Audio loss: added ring buffer (960KB/30s TTL) to hold audio during reconnect,
  replayed on successful reconnection
- Permanent failure: removed 10-attempt reconnect cap, now retries indefinitely
  with exponential backoff + jitter (max 60s) while recording is active
- Thread safety: all mutable connection state behind serial DispatchQueue,
  ConnectionState enum replaces bare Bool
- Stale callbacks: generation token discards delegate callbacks from old connections

Subject: [PATCH 02/13] fix(desktop): graceful WebSocket close forwarding in
 proxy
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Part of #6193 — when one side of the Deepgram WS proxy disconnects,
forward a close frame to the other side with a 5s timeout instead of
abruptly dropping both connections. Prevents "Connection reset by peer"
errors on the Swift client.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Review cycle fixes for #6201:
- Gate proxy auth Task and connectWithAuth on generation + shouldReconnect
  to prevent zombie connections after stop()
- Make handleDisconnection idempotent: only transitions from .connected
  or .connecting states, preventing duplicate onDisconnected notifications
  and inflated reconnect counts from concurrent failure callbacks
- Validate generation in didOpenWithProtocol to reject stale handshakes

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] fix(desktop): bump generation on teardown, salvage
 partial audio buffer

Review cycle 2 fixes for #6201:
- Bump _connectionGeneration in both disconnect() and handleDisconnection()
  so in-flight receiveMessage/keepalive callbacks are invalidated, preventing
  stale transcript delivery after stop() or during reconnect gap
- Salvage partial audioBuffer contents into reconnectBuffer on disconnect,
  preventing the last ~100ms audio chunk from being lost or replayed
  out of order after reconnection

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] fix(desktop): re-buffer unsent chunks on replay failure

Review cycle 3 fix for #6201:
- On replay send error, re-buffer the failed chunk and all remaining
  chunks back into reconnectBuffer, then trigger handleDisconnection()
  to reconnect and retry. Previously, drained chunks were permanently
  lost if the socket failed during replay.

 backoff calculation

13 tests covering:
- ReconnectAudioRingBuffer: append/drain, TTL eviction, byte-cap
  eviction, oversize chunk truncation, prune, empty data handling
- reconnectDelay(): exponential growth, max backoff cap, jitter bounds,
  attempt zero edge case

All 13 tests pass.

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] fix(desktop): unwind state on invalid URL, sequential
 replay to prevent duplicates

- Invalid URL guards in connectWithAuth now call handleDisconnection() instead
  of bare return, preventing permanent .connecting wedge state
- Replay sends chunks sequentially (callback-chained) so only the first failure
  re-buffers remaining chunks, preventing duplicate audio from concurrent failures
