Fixed: the tool connection died over nothing
Twice in one afternoon, a healthy connection between two computers on the same network dropped
mid-session. The logs told us why: the link declared its partner dead after twelve rapid retries
of a single packet — which, on a fast network, takes about two seconds. Any two-second
hiccup (Wi-Fi scanning channels, an access point handing off) was a death sentence for a link
that was otherwise fine.
Three changes:
A link now dies of silence, not impatience. It gives up only when nothing at all has been
heard from the other computer for fifteen seconds. Short stalls are ridden out; retries continue
as long as the other end is audibly alive. A flash needs the link to hold for twenty minutes,
and this is what makes that realistic on real-world Wi-Fi.
A quiet link stays warm. A small keepalive flows every five seconds when there is no
traffic, so Wi-Fi power saving does not doze off on us and problems are noticed while they are
still small.
If it drops anyway, it redials itself. The computer driving the tool now reconnects
automatically — up to three attempts — and says so. If your diagnostic software showed an error
during the gap, just retry the operation; the tool comes back on its own. Deliberately
disconnecting is respected and never redialled.
Nothing starts recording on update
Unchanged: recording is off on every computer and stays off until an owner completes the
attestation in the console and switches it on for that specific computer.
