Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Stability improvements for the NATS JetStream input path in redpanda-data/connect. Fixed handling of closed NATS connections to prevent cascading downstream errors and maintain connection integrity. The change ensures that nats.ErrConnectionClosed triggers a disconnect and propagates service.ErrNotConnected, clarifying error states for downstream components and enabling safer reconnection. Key focus areas: reliability of the input path, accurate error signaling, and seamless recovery workflows for streaming ingestion.
